A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 175

She struggled, trying to get him to let go of her hand, but his hand still clung to hers. His voice was distant and faint, "All right! I know you need some time, and I won't bother you!"

Listening to his voice, she felt a lump in her throat and an overwhelming pain in her chest.

He left, and his figure was so forlorn and lonely.

He knew he might lose her, but he never thought it would be this soon!

There was no one else in the room. Alone, she leaned against the wall, slid down, wrapped her arms around herself, and whimpered. She thought to herself, 'Why did Dad's death have something to do with William? Why?' ——

The Rowland Group.

William was back to work.。

He buried himself in a pile of papers and tried to numb his nerves with work.

It had been three days!

Sherry didn't call him, and he didn't dare to initiate a call to her because he was afraid the answer he would get was a breakup. He knew she needed time to come to terms with it, but he really didn't dare to anticipate what the result would exactly be.

The white smoke rose from the lit cigarette in his hands and pervaded the air.

When Liam knocked on the door, he didn't even notice and still stuck in his deep thought, as if he had lost his mind.

"Will! What's wrong with you? Why you are suddenly back at work? Didn't you insist on not coming to work even if you died?" This was the third day Liam had asked him this question.

But, as before, William didn't say anything.

"Hey, you're being a stranger! What's up with you and Sherry? How about I ask her out tonight? It seems like we haven't gotten together for a long time, do you want to go for a drink?" Liam suggested.

William continued to smoke, still not uttering a word.

"Then it's a deal! Let's get Leon and Ashley to come with us, you and Sherry, me and Sarah! The six of us are going to Karaoke tonight! Let's paint the town red!"

Sherry then received a call from Liam inviting her to Karaoke tonight, but Liam didn't say who else was invited, only that Sarah and Ashley would be attending. Sherry didn't turn down his invitation.

It had been three days!

Her mind was in turmoil. Cohen and Susan also knew the cause of Clark's death, but Cohen said nothing, just patted Sherry's shoulder.

But Susan advised her, "Sherry, some things are past, so let them be past! Don't take the past too seriously, otherwise your life will be very tired!"

However, once she thought of her dearest father, Clark dying because of William; once she thought that he had never shown up over the years; once she thought that he just let someone else handle the traffic accident at that time; once she thought that he had drove under the influence, her heart turned upside down with sadness!

William didn't pick up Sherry after work.

He was afraid that if he went to pick her up, she wouldn't come.

Liam, who probably had known about Sherry's estrangement from William, unexpectedly volunteered to pick up Sherry and Ashley, while William and Leon went ahead and booked a private room at KTV.

"How have you been?" Leon asked William as he lit his cigarette.

William was also smoking. The two men sat on the sofa in the private room and smoked, "Not good! What about you?"

"Me too!" Leon smiled helplessly. "Susan has really given up on the past, and I thought Ashley would need me after she lost her dad and Mrs. Anderson. But I found that she's actually getting stronger and stronger and doesn't want to see me either!"

"You'll see her later, Liam's going to pick her and Sherry up!"

"What's wrong with you and Sherry?"

"It's a long story!" William blew a long puff of smoke, looking even more desolate.

By the time Liam drove the three women to KTV, William and Leon had already smoked an ashtray of cigarette butts.

Sherry and Ashley both froze when they walked in the door.

William's affectionate gaze fell obsessively on Sherry's face. She had lost weight, and her chubby face was emaciated. William only felt his heart constantly throbbing with pain, every inch of him yearning for her.

Ashley was also a bit surprised, but then she smiled. "William, Leon, I didn't expect you guys to be here too!"

Sherry just gave William a glance, her hand tightened, and didn't say anything. At first, she wanted to turn and leave, but Ashley pulled her back. "Sherry, let's sing together tonight, and don't go home until we're thoroughly drunk!"

Liam and Sarah immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together. Let's not return without getting drunk!"

Sherry had no choice but to sit down, but didn't give William another look.

Leon's eyes fell unconsciously on Ashley, but when she turned her eyes and bumped into Leon's, she just smiled and didn't think anything of it, as if nothing had happened between them. For now, Ashley just treated Leon as an ordinary friend, and was indifferent and detached from him.

On the day her dad and Mrs. Anderson died, he received a call from the butler. However, Ashley didn't call him when something so serious happened.

When he tried to hug her and comfort her, she avoided him, refusing his hugs and comfort. Her polite and indifferent attitude made Leon really hard to adapt for a while, but then she told him, "Let's break up, you've never loved me, why be so fake? It's better not to force you!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room got tense.

Ashley wore a faint smile on her face, while Sherry's was devoid of any expression.
