A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 164

But how could William not worry, he saw her sitting on the couch in the study room, staring outside the window. This was already night time.

Sherry's face was quite pale, her lips showed a little smile which looked sad.

She would never forget that she left her and her brother, she would never forget that she allowed Payne to hold a gun at her head for Ashley, she really was the best step mother in the world, but she couldn't understand why she would do that to herself.

William went inside, but he didn't come closer to her, instead, he just looked at her from afar. She was still frowning, her worries were written on her forehead.

The night swallowed her sadness, her pretty face showed no tears, but she still looked so pitiful, it was a picture that would make any man want to protect her.

William knew what she was feeling in that moment, Sierra was her mother, that was so shocking that he could barely believe it, he couldn't believe that Sierra would allow Payne to treat her like this!

The Jones family was so wealthy, they had the money to help Sherry's brother for his treatment, but Sierra would rather ask her to be a surrogate, he could still remember that she was only 17 years old when it happened, how could she handle all that at such a young age?

William felt horrible guilt when he thought about that night when he mocked her, he thought about the night her brother died, and taking away the baby when it was only born, he felt so much guilt inside...

What had he done?

Sherry went through so much, how could she bare with all that?

What had he done!

Sherry suddenly rolled herself in, her head lowered, the hair fell into her face so that people couldn't see her expression.

William's heart tightened, she looked so small and fragile, the way she rolled herself up.

She didn't cry, and she didn't make any other sounds, it was scary how quiet she was.

After a long time she suddenly sighed, then she looked up again, outside the window into the night sky, it was a very cold winter!

When he saw the sadness in her eyes, he didn't even think about it before he went over to her, then he kneed down beside her and took her into his arms, and said pitiful, "If you want to cry, let it out."

Sherry looked up in panic, her eyes were widened, and she looked confused, her voice was weak as she asked, "William, do you believe that she is my mother?"

William's expression showed pain, "Sherry, don't think about it anymore, you have me, you have Samuel and Daniel!"

Sherry's lost gaze was mixed with pain, but only a second later, she smiled again, looked at William and said, "Some things are in the past, but some things will never be forgotten, this time, I really give up! Tell me, can I just pretend like she's dead?"

"Sherry..." William mumbled, he hugged her tight, but didn't know what he should say! But he saw how sad she was, so hurt, and he couldn't bare, "Maybe she has her own problems, there is no mother that doesn't love her own child!"

"Maybe she never loved me and my brother! William, she never loved us! She is colder than a stranger! When Luke was sick, I begged her, but she only gathered a little money, it wasn't even a tenth of what she spends on her make-up and cosmetics, at that time I thought that she maybe had her stories she couldn't tell me, I never hated or blamed her, but now..."

He saw it, he saw her heartlessness, he saw how cruel she was, that kind of women that didn't even want her own daughter, but who took care of someone else daughter, what was going on in her head?

"Sherry, stop thinking about it, you got me!"

"Yes, I have you, thank God I still have you." She felt her eyes sting, she was very hurt, so she closed her eyes because she didn't want to cry.

"William, the most humble and fragile thing in the world are human feelings, but she never cared about me, I even dreamed that maybe she just has her own secret sorrows. But today cleared my eyes, I saw how much she cared about Ashley, and it made my heart ache, maybe I am jealous of Ashley! She can easily receive her love! But me and Luke never got any of that!"

"Sherry!" William could only hold her tight, he could only give her strength with that.

"It's okay, I just want to talk. Please don't be annoyed of me talking so much, I never talked to anyone about this!" Sherry buried her face in his chest, "William, will you ever leave me?"

"Never! I will never!" He answered determined, "I will never leave you, even if don't want to be with me anymore, I will follow you anywhere!"

Right in that moment, William's phone rang, he kept holding her in his arms and picked up the call, "Hello?"

"William, is my daughter okay?" Cohen yell was heard from the other side of the line, "I heard that Sierra wants to hurt my daughter?"

William heard the loud voice of his father in-law, and said helplessly, "Dad, Sherry is fine, you should let Ashley go, this is not right! Susan already declined Leon, there is no going back anymore! And me and Sherry both hope that you can follow your own feelings and be with Susan!"

"She is really okay?" Cohen asked after pausing for a while.

"She is fine, she is with me, I will protect her with my life."

"Good, as long as she is alright."

Sherry only then knew that it was Cohen and she felt her heart twitch, even though she had no mother who cared about her, but he had a birth father, and that made her feel warmth again.

She didn't want to think about it again, she will just pretend to have no mother, if she never had one, she didn't have to be sad about it, but she still couldn't help to feel pain.
