A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 34

"Uncle, I need to call my Mommy now. She isn't back yet. It's late already, let's chat next time! Bye bye!"

 

William looked at the avatar turned dark and felt a sudden surge of disappointment.

 

“Daddy, I've finished eating. Can daddy read stories to me?" Sammy was very happy as he will be having a mommy very soon.

 

William sighed when he looked at Sammy. This was how a five year old kid should behave. It was heartbreaking for any kid to be more mature than his age.

 

He suddenly felt vexed. How could he find Sammy's mother? He started to ponder deeply!

 

William saved the game and stood up, "Sammy, daddy will read stories to you another day. I need to go out for a moment. Be a good boy and go to bed, okay?”

 

Sherry was driven out of the house by Dan and she ended up window shopping. But she didn't have the mood and felt 

melancholy walking along the dimly lit street. She didn't know where her son was and whether he was having a good life.

 

Her phone rang and it was Celia, "Where did you go and how could you leave Dan alone at home?"

 

"I'm strolling along the streets!” Sherry was looking at a rowdy group of people.

 

"Come home, I'm home. I'm not comfortable with Dan alone at home!”

 

“It's okay, Celia. Dan is a good boy and can take care of himself!" Sherry said proudly.

 

"Yes, he is really a good boy but my heart aches for him!" Celia sighed, "Come home quickly’

 

"Okay!" As she ended the call, someone violently snatched her cell phone.

 

"Ah!" Sherry screamed in surprise and saw a thief running away from her, "Catch him! He stole my phone...

 

She shouted as she ran after the thief. The phone was expensive and she didn't want to be in debt again. Sherry chased the thief desperately along the street and attracted much attention from the bystanders.

 

A blue-colored Bugatti was driving aimlessly and the images of someone vigorously running caught the driver's attention.

 

Sherry chased and shouted, “Return me the phone, return my phone!”

 

The thief ran quickly into a dark alley.

 

"Hand over your money!” A voice thundered and suddenly four gangsters emerged from the alley. On one side, a burly man with threatening eyes pointed a steel dagger towards Sherry.

 

"Ah..? Sherry was startled, “You all..." She didn't expect there to be so many thieves in the alley.

 

"Woman, hand over your money!”

 

“No!” Sherry turned to run but accidentally twisted her ankle, “Ah...”

 

Just as she felt that she was falling down, her waist was grabbed by someone's arm... She looked at the person and was 

stunned, "Mr. ... Mr. Rowland?"

 

"Who?" The bandit realized that someone entered the alley and became alerted.

 

William pursed his perfect lips and lifted up Sherry and pulled her behind him.

 

"Damn, this man looks handsome: The bandit looked at the simply dressed Sherry and then back at the dashingly handsome 

William.

 

"Mr. Rowland, they stole my cell phone!” Sherry grabbed onto William's tailored business suit like it was her lifeline.

 

William rolled his eyes. What situation were they in and this woman was still thinking about her cell phone!

 

William looked at the four thieves, "Isn't it too early in the night to steal?”

 

"Hey, scum, why do you care when we steal? Empty whatever is on your body. She doesn't look like she has any money but 

you do! Guy, you came at the right time, hurry up!" He snorted twice with his nose, waved the dagger, and looked menacingly at William.

 

"Stand aside!” William turned to Sherry and said assuringly.

 

"Forget it, forget it, let's go! Mr. Rowland, they have a dagger!" Sherry thought that it was better to run. It was too dangerous as it was four against one!

 

"We'll leave after they return your cell phone!" William turned and faced the four men, "Hand over the cell phone! Don't make me repeat myself!”

 

"Guy, you're asking for it!” Someone shouted and four of them rushed over.

 

William sighed and went on the attack.

 

Sounds of the melee rumbled out and William's swiftly attacked and counter-attacked the four of them. After ten minutes, 

William wiped the sweat off his head and glared at the four who laid on the ground with swollen and bruised faces, "Hand over the cell phone!”

 

“Er..” The four couldn't even stand up much less have the strength to take out the phone.

 

William looked at Sherry, “Who stole your phone?”

 

Sherry was stunned and was still dazed from the fight. His swift actions didn't even crumple his suit and it didn't look like he 

was involved in a fight.

 

Realizing that she was in a daze, William proceeded to look for the cell phone. Sherry came to her senses after something hard was shafted into her hand and her waist was tightly grabbed by an arm. By then, she had already been stuffed into the Bugatti.

 

William started to grin and his sharp eyes looked at Sherry, "How are you going to repay me after I saved your life?”

 

“Er...” Sherry looked at William in bewilderment. She thought about how he moved swiftly and ruthlessly when he fought the thieves. She realized that Mr. Rowland was really mysterious and terrifying! “Thanks!”

 

"I'm hurt!" William rolled up his sleeves and revealed a cut on his wrist but he had intentionally gotten hurt for a simple reason which was to let a particular person be gripped with guilt!

 

“Ah! You are really hurt!” How did she miss it? She saw that his suit was cut, "Mr. Rowland, let's go to the hospital immediately!" She felt more assured if they went to the hospital!

 

"No need, it's just a small wound!” William brushed it off and rolled down his sleeve.

 

"But you are hurt!” She wasn't that cold-blooded and felt exceedingly guilty that he was hurt because of saving her, "Mr. Rowland, let's go to the hospital.”

 

"Sherry, you have not replied how are you going to thank me!” William looked at her for a suitable answer. He noticed that she was pale perhaps from being frightened by the encounter with the thieves.

 

"Mr. Rowland!" Sherry's heart sank as his tone made her feel very conflicted and scared, "Mr. Rowland, how do you want me to thank you?"

 

"Be my woman, okay?" He twitched his eyebrows.

 

"Er!" Sherry bit her lower lips. She didn't get upset in consideration that he had just saved her. However, her expression revealed her displeasure towards him. What did he take her for? She couldn't help but reply coldly, "Mr. Rowland, that's not possible! Please don't joke anymore: William frowned when he heard her, "Sherry... don't be so quick to turn me down. You can take some time to consider. Now that I saved you, shouldn't you show some gratitude?"

 

His eyes were fixated on her face and looked tenderly at her with a hint of danger. His body emitted a faint smell of tobacco which accentuated his manly scent.

"Yeah, he is so cool!” Another nurse replied excitedly and looked at William in a daze.

 

Sherry went to take a number for him to be treated at the emergency ward but before she came back to him, he had already been led away by the nurses for treatment.
