A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 209

"Mommy!" Daniel looked up and saw both his mother and Samuel. He slipped out of William’s embrace and looked up at Sherry, “Mommy, Mr. Rowland was smoking again, but I stopped him!”

“Good boy!” Sherry leaned down to kiss him on his forehead.

William looked at Sherry and cracked a smile, “We aren’t married yet and you’re already controlling me?”

Sherry raised her eyebrows and asked in a mischievous way, “Can’t I?”

William shook his head as he laughed, “Sure, the king approves!”

“Daddy, are you the king?” Samuel asked in a confused manner.

“Of course! If I’m the king, then your mother’s the queen!” William jested

“But doesn’t that mean mommy is your mommy as well?” Daniel shouted, “Doesn’t that make mommy old?”

“Hmph! Runt! I was just making a comparison; your mother still holds the highest authority!” William leaned down to pinch Daniel’s nose, “Now take your brother and go play, I have something to say to your mommy!”

“OK!” Daniel nodded and grabbed Samuel’s hand, “Come on, let’s go play chess!”

The children held hand in hand and headed towards their playroom. Looking as they left, William and Sherry let out a sigh, then Sherry asked, “How are we going to tell Samuel? I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it!”

“So long as there’s love, it’ll all be fine. No matter what, they’re our sons… We have two sons…” William stood behind her and said softly.

Sherry turned around to look at William. His eyes were filled with lovingness. In this moment, he appeared calm and peaceful, even his handsome face exuded a gentleness.

William lowered his head to look at her; she had on a thick sweater, but it wasn’t enough to cover up her slender figure. A heavy winter coat covered her shapely body, but as soon as he stepped closer, her fragrance would captivate him and make him start to fantasize and become excited.

Although she hadn’t slept all night, but her tiny face was still beautiful.

The balcony’s roof was designed to be open in order to see the stars in the night sky. Winter was a bit chilly, and even the scenery seemed desolate.

Sherry continued to stare at him until he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his embrace. Even as she stared at the desolate winter night sky before her, she felt warm.

She fluttered her long eyelashes, and her eyes were filled with a tenderness. Though all the troubles and worries of late made her head dizzy and eyelids heavy, but she still felt excited, because Daniel was her biological son. Whenever she thought of this, she was too excited to even sleep.

“Something on your mind?” She softly asked him.

He said nothing, but leaned his chin on her shoulders and said, “Sherry, there’s a chance that Peter is my brother! My half-brother from another mother!”

“What-” Sherry gasped, “How could that be?”

“I just showed the investigative report on him to my father, and also asked him about his relations to Peter and Ava. He didn’t say anything, so I think it might be true. His expression was grim!”

Sherry took a while before she recovered, “If he’s your older brother, then it might make sense that he switched babies. He might be trying to get revenge…”

“It’s all for revenge! To think, he’s been hiding all this time!” William let out a sigh, “What should I do?”

“Even you have moments where you don’t know what to do?” Sherry was confused; she always thought that William could overcome any difficult situation.

“Why can’t I?” He smiled and looked at the side of her face, his hot breath lingered by her ears and turned her cheeks rosy red.

For a second, he was lost in the moment as he continued to look at her face.

She replied in a low voice, “Because you’re a CEO, you have to make so many decisions. I always thought that only I had moments of doubt, never thought you did too!”

“I always thought that you acted fearless before any difficulties. You’ve always been so strong and held through. If it was another woman, I’m sure they’d have given up already, but you didn’t. It must have been tough raising our son by yourself. Thank you, Sherry, for your determination, and for letting me have you once again!”

She leaned in his arms and reminisced of some past events, then shook her head. “These difficulties are just trials; it’s thanks to them that I’ve become stronger.”

“Not many people can endure so many trials and still manage to keep a pure heart. You’re definitely one of the few!”

“Don’t flatter me; but honestly, whether Peter is your brother or not, I hope we can get along and forgive others, as long as he doesn’t hurt us, we won’t hurt him either.”

“I think so too!” William nodded in approval, “Let’s wait and see what he’s up to!”

“It’s getting windy, let’s head back in.” He held her tiny hand.

The warmth that came made her feel completely at ease. All she ever wanted was this feeling of comfort. She held his large palm, and the second the entered the corridor, they saw John come out of the study.

“Dad!”

“John!”

They shouted at the same time.

John nodded and said in a solemn manner, “I need to head to Switzerland.”

“Dad, are you going to look for Ava?” William froze, “Is he really your son?”

John looked at William but did not answer forthright; he only said, “We’ll discuss it once I return!”
