A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 139

After hanging up the phone, William Rowland's eyes narrowed sharply towards the car window, looking at Sherry Murray and Reggie walking side by side. William was wondering what they were talking about! And the way they were walking together annoyed him!

Reggie, was by no means a simple individual. What kind of purpose did he harbour by approaching her?

The car followed slowly, going super slow.

As Sherry walked with Reggie, he asked without thinking, "Where did you guys go yesterday? It looked like you guys were in a hurry, and you didn't even go to work!"

"Oh! A friend got sick!" Sherry pursed her lips and said casually.

"The woman in the photo?" Reggie’s body stiffened and paused. "Lucille Mclean?"

Sherry froze, looking up in confusion. "How did you know?"

Reggie’s eyes flashed. "I guessed. Is she very sick?"

Sherry nodded. "Yeah, quite badly! Something's wrong with her mental health! It's said to be domestic violence, resulting in a mental disorder!"

"It's said to be domestic violence?" Reggie’s voice couldn't help but raise a little, looking a little agitated.

Sherry also froze, looking at him in confusion. "Yes, I saw a lot of burn scars on her hands. They were like cigarette marks. So, it's obvious how cruel her husband treated her! No wonder she misses her previous lover, William. Thinking about how gentle William was to her, it's no wonder she's always chanting about him!"

Reggie’s pupils contracted. "How's her mental health now?"

"Not very well!" Sherry shook her head. When she realized that she had said too much, she suddenly said, "Mr Kelly, this is someone else's privacy, and I shouldn't talk about it. Please don't talk about it either!"

Reggie , however, seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

"Mr Kelly?" Sherry shouted.

"Uh!" He returned to his senses. "What did you say?"

Sherry sighed. "Mr Kelly, you're lost in thought!"

"I'm sorry!" He apologized sincerely. "Let's go to eat together. It's just about time for dinner. I'll treat you as compensation for not inviting you yesterday!"

William had followed them all the way. In the car, his hands couldn't help but clench into fists as he kept watching them walking towards the Seah Restaurant.

"Young master, do you want me to go in and watch them?" The driver asked.

"No need!" William's face was stern and tensed. He glanced coldly in the direction of the Seah Restaurant, "Just wait here!"

The driver found a window where they could see inside and stopped. William looked inside through the window. He could see Sherry smiling at Reggie and wondered what they had said.

William looked on and became anxious. Just watching her smiling at another man made him so anxious, upset, and madly jealous!

When William put himself in Sherry's position, he realized that she would naturally be more upset when she saw pictures of him kissing other women. And it turned out that when he put himself in her position, he realized that he didn't have her kind of grace, he couldn't laugh!

He really wanted to rush in, pull her out, hug her tightly and tell her not to smile at other men. But she said, they shouldn't see each other for a while.

He was dismayed again, not daring to go forward. He could just watch from a distance. The jealousy in his heart was intensifying as if it was burning him to the point of suffocation.

"Mr Kelly, you love your girlfriend a lot! Maybe you love her more than she loves you, and that's why you're hurt!" Sherry said.

Reggie said he just wanted to talk to someone, and she happened to be bored, so she became his listener. Then, they went for a meal together.

"I don't know if I really love her!" Reggie shook his head. His voice became more powerful, yet he still revealed his loneliness, "I'm just disappointed in her! But it's all over now, and it's time for both her and me to move on!"

"There aren't many men as sentimental as you are anymore. You'll find your happiness!" Sherry said comfortingly.

A raging look appeared in Reggie’s eyes as he said something confusing, "Happiness is a luxury for me."

Sherry was stunned. When she heard these words, she felt that happiness seemed like a luxury for anyone. And she didn't know where her happiness was! Perhaps she was too greedy. She said quietly, "Maybe one shouldn't ask for too much!"

Suddenly they felt like they were like old friends, recounting the meaning of happiness. Sherry smiled faintly, feeling like she was getting old and became more emotional.

"We could say that we're friends now, right?" Reggie raised his head and looked at Sherry, who was elegantly wiping her mouth with her napkin.

She froze and nodded her head. The topic had just occurred to her, and she hadn't expected him to say that. "Yes!"

Although she wasn't really into male friends, it seemed reasonable to have one or two male friends.

At this moment, her phone rang, and she was surprised that it was Darcy's number. She had called Sherry number once last time, and she remembered it.

"Excuse me. I have to take a call!" Sherry said.

Reggie nodded.

"Ms. Mclean, may I ask why you're calling me?" Sherry asked in a low voice.

"Sherry, I didn't expect you to be so old-fashioned in your tactics by not letting William visits my sister! If anything happens to my sister, I will definitely not let you go!" Darcy's voice carried a threat that pierced straight into Sherry's ears.

"Ms. Mclean, I don't understand what you're talking about? Why is William not seeing your sister anymore?"

Hearing this, Reggie’s expression stiffened, and his eyes looked towards her.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know about William's affairs, what are you saying? Is your sister missing?" Sherry's voice rose sharply. "How did that happen?"

Reggie looked up sharply, and was a little stunned.

Sherry hung up the phone and frowned in confusion.

"Did Darcy say that Lucille is missing?" Reggie spoke directly.

She nodded her head. "Yes, she said that Lucille's gone and she's looking for her!"
