A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 227

“Younger sister is definitely a nympho because she would hug those handsome guys but not the women except for mummy. Previously, she even refused to let aunt and grandma hug her. She only looked for uncle and grandpa, such a boy crazy.” Daniel Murray shook Barney Rowland and asked, “Brother, isn't’ it?”

Barney just smiled gently and handed over a toy to Dan. Dan was confused.

“The toy is spoilt!” William Rowland realized it when he lowered his head. “Barney is smart to ask for the brother’s assistance to get the toy fixed!”

“Daddy, do you think that Barney is foolish?” Dan placed his younger brother into a small stroller and helped him to fix the toy.

“How many times do you ask this question?” William rolled his eyes helplessly. “He is so smart as he knows to hand over the broken toys to you without saying any words. In my opinion, he is highly intelligent but just lazy.”

“If he isn’t foolish, then it’s fine!” Dan said while fixing the toy.

“What do you mean?”

“It is because grandpa and you will not pass the company to a fool and I want freedom. So, I don’t want my younger brother to be a fool since he needs to be the heir!”

“Ah! You brat, I think that he is even lazier than you! If he refused to do so, you will need to take over since you are the eldest son! This is your responsibility.” William lowered his head to look at his youngest son and saw that his youngest son was smiling naively. He even grabbed at the side of the stroller using his small hands and leant on the back of the chair as if he was a young master. His languid appearance was truly admirable.

“Daddy...” Lillie Rowland was unhappy because daddy was attracted by the second brother and then started to behave restlessly. She grabbed William’s neck with her small hands and her small face was rubbing on daddy’s face. “Daddy...”

“Lillie, if you flow your saliva into daddy’s neck, I swear that I will never hug you anymore and ask Mrs. Howe to take care of you. Also, I will stop the others from hugging you!” William was threatening her.

“She can’t understand!” Sherry Murray looked at her daughter powerlessly and said, “I am exhausted but still happy! Lillie, aren’t you tiring after jumping for an entire day with mummy?”

“Mummy...” Lillie was whining and then finally kept quiet. It could be the effect of Sherry’s words or William’s threatening sentence but finally she was in silence.

“Younger sister is abnormal in terms of her energy and who dares to marry her in the future!” Dan shook his head and appeared to be scared.

“Marry!” Immediately after listening to Dan’s words, Lillie laughed excitedly and shook her small hands. She was saying non-stop, “Marry, marry...”

“Boy crazy!” Dan rolled his eyes.

“Boy... crazy...”

“Hahaha...” The conversation between the children amused William and Sherry. The happiness was echoing throughout the room and the days that were filled with joy were extremely wonderful.

...

In the study room.

John stared at Nicole’ photograph which was placed on the table and listened to the laughter from the children. He muttered softly, “Nicole, our grandchildren are growing great and just the granddaughter is too naughty. She always wants to be hugged by the handsome guys and Dan said she is a nympho. I think the same too... How are you in heaven? I miss you very much...”

While passing by the study room, Dan heard that grandpa was muttering so he went into the room. Grandpa was still talking and Dan noticed that he was talking to grandma.

When he saw the eldest grandson, John stopped immediately and asked, “Dan?”

“Is grandpa talking to grandma again?” Dan frowned due to confusion.

John nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Grandpa, may I ask you a question?” Dan walked towards him and stood beside grandpa.

“You may!” John was astonished when he saw the serious look of the grandson.

“Grandpa, why don’t you marry another woman just like my maternal grandpa?” This was where he was confused the most.

John was shocked and shook his head while laughing. He said, “It is because grandpa’s love could be given to one woman only and it will never change!”

Dan seemed like he understood partially and asked, “does it mean that grandpa is an infatuated person?”

John did not answer because he did not know whether he was infatuated. He just thought that everyone’s love was different. He felt blessed to live his life in memories and love one person only in his lifetime.

“I understand already. Grandpa only loves grandma and I want to be as infatuated as grandpa...”

John touched his grandson’s face and said, “Being infatuated might not be happier than being affectionate but it is more realistic. Grandpa wants you to become a realistic man in every aspect.”

“Yes! Dan remembered!” Dan nodded and said, “Grandpa, I accompany you to play chess!”

These two years, he would accompany grandpa to play chess every night and play golf with grandpa every weekend. Sometimes, they even went fishing. The relationship between the grandpa and grandchild was really deep.

...

Peter never appeared but William and Sherry would receive a Christmas greeting card from Switzerland every Christmas. There were only a few words written on the card, “I am sorry, Merry Christmas.”

They had received it for the consecutive two years.

William told Sherry that Peter still needed some time but he had decided to travel to Switzerland after the Chinese New Year. William would like to invite him personally to take up the post as the chief executive of Overseas Department of The Rowland Group.

When the night fell, there was only a bedside lamp which was lit up in the bedroom.
