A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 148

“Oh! I’m sorry Mr. Sutton. You look so young. I really can’t imagine you that you have a daughter of Sherry’s age!” Celia looked at Cohen and he looked around fifty years old. Perhaps not even fifty.

Susan was very flustered and didn’t expect Sherry to be Cohen’s daughter and Cohen’s sharp glare made her very unsettled. Susan stood in the living room and drooped her head while looking at the floor tiles.

“Ms. Hickman is really humorous. I’m already an old man!” Cohen laughed and turned to look at Susan, “Sherry is waiting for you upstairs.”

“Okay! We’ll go up now.” Celia nodded and then looked at Keegan.

Keegan brought Celia up while Susan remained where she was. She walked up to the second level before Celia turned and looked at Susan, “Sue… eh…”

Before she could say anything, her mouth was covered by a hand and she was grabbed to the side of the staircase that others could not see.

She was stunned. The hand that covered her mouth was very hot, strong and she knew it was Keegan.

She quickly raised her head, looked into his dark eyes, and heard him say softly, “I’m sorry, I can’t help it.”

Her face blushed red and she quickly grabbed his hand but he wouldn’t relax his hand and said, “Don’t scream and I’ll release you immediately.”

Celia stared at Keegan and wondered what he wanted to do?

When Keegan saw her eyes wide open, he suddenly felt like laughing and slowly released her, “Don’t yell, Sherry is in the second room.”

Celia turned around and could no longer see Susan.

Although she didn’t understand and was doubtful, her mind was not thinking about Sherry. She only thought about Keegan covering her mouth and was blushing so much.

“Go quickly. I’m sorry for just now!” Keegan said calmly.

“Why can’t you just say what you wanted? Why must you grab me?” She said angrily. She ran towards the second room and for reasons unknown, she slipped and fell, “Argh…”

Her screams echoed along the corridor but then she realized that she didn’t feel any pain. Celia opened her eyes and then realized that she was in a strong pair of arms and her mouth was covered again. She felt very warm and secure.

Keegan instinctively grabbed Celia’s body and looked at her flustered expression and said, “Be careful!”

“Thanks!” She quickly got out of Keegan’s embrace and Celia smiled awkwardly as she glanced at Keegan’s handsome face. She then quickly walked into the second bedroom.

In the living room.

Susan stood like a child in the living room and reacted after a long while, “I… I’ll go and see Sherry.”

“Okay!” Cohen frowned. She didn’t ask about how he suddenly had a daughter that was all grown up.

Susan bit her lips and didn’t even look at Cohen as she walked upstairs.

Cohen felt uneasy and tight around his chest. He thought that this woman was really composed. She had been with him for five years and now was so sure of herself that she didn’t even glance at him. Cohan said calmly, “Why don’t you want that villa? Where are you living now?”

…

“Thud”. She saw Sherry laying on the bed as soon as she pushed open the door to go in. Her children sat on either side and were pounding her leg to help her relax. The kids were very happy to see Celia and called out to her.

“Aunt Celia, Aunt Celia, how are you?” The kids said together.

“How are you, kids? My precious kids! Sherry, what’s the matter with you?” Celia was sincerely worried and Sherry was moved by her concern.

“Celia…”

Celia lunged over to hug Sherry, “Okay, okay, as long as you’re fine. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What if there isn’t anyone to take care of you?”

“I’m fine now!” Sherry said softly, “I’m doing well.”

“What’s wrong with that William? What did he do?” Celia began to get upset and continued, “Does he know what happened to you?”

“Daddy knew that he’s wrong!” Sammy said softly and looked at Celia carefully. “Aunt Celia, daddy knows that he is in the wrong. Daddy wanted mommy to forgive him but mommy ignored him. Daddy is very pitiful.”

“Your daddy is pitiful?” Celia raised her eyebrows and looked at Sammy, “He is not the one in pain. Why should he be pitiful? Are you now siding your daddy because you had spent so much time with him?”

Sammy pouted and lowered his head, “No, I only want daddy and mommy to be together. Daddy will not make a mistake anymore in the future. The teacher said that as long as you turn over a new leaf you would be a good child. Since daddy had admitted to his mistake, then mommy should just forgive daddy.”

When Sherry heard what Sammy said, her heart started to ache. She held onto Sammy’s body. This child had grown up with William and would naturally be close to William. But she was very happy that the child felt sorry for William. Both her sons were very kind and gracious young men.

“Sammy… my precious child,” Sherry remarked.

Sammy hugged Sherry and said, “Mommy, Sammy misses daddy! Forgive daddy, okay?”

“You are so bothersome!” the mischievous Dan spoke, “Sammy, if you miss your daddy, then go home to him. I’ll take care of mommy on my own!”

Once Sammy heard that Dan wanted to get rid of him, he quickly kept quiet and said, “I don’t miss daddy now, don’t drive me away.”

“Yeah, why miss him?” Celia said angrily, “He had caused your mother so much pain. Don’t think of him, honey, think of Aunt Celia. Come look at beautiful Aunt Celia, my precious handsome boys. You must always think of me.”

“But he is my daddy. I also miss Aunt Celia. But Aunt Celia is not my daddy!” Sammy suddenly became bolder.

“If Aunt Celia is a man, I’ll be your daddy. But what a pity I’m not.” Celia joked.

“Okay, don’t scare him. Sammy is more reserved.” Sherry grabbed Sammy into her embrace and comforted him.

Susan walked in and saw Sherry hugging Sammy. The tender and loving scene made her unconsciously touch her abdomen. How nice it was to have a child. She also hoped to have a baby and always be by her side even if she couldn’t get married.

“Susan?” Sherry raised her head and couldn’t believe that she was there.

Susan smiled and said, “Sherry, are you alright?”
