"You weirdo, I don't care how you know me, you cannot just beat your child, that is against the law! I am telling you, even if you know my name, I am not scared of you, I will call the police!"
"Sherry!" William couldn't watch anymore, and called out her name coldly.
Sherry suddenly got so scared by the sudden yell that her phone almost fell out of her hand, then she finally recognized who it was, "You, you, you are Mr. Rowland?”
Finally, she knew who he was, otherwise William would have run out of patience.
Yes!" A cold manly voice was heard from the other side of the line, it was deep, and the simple answer did not carry any emotions, but Sherry was startled.
Oh my god!
How could it be Mr. Rowland?
Right, she remembered when she was in Seoul, he said that he had a son, could his son possibly be Samuel? This was such a coincidence!
"Where is my son?" William asked.
"Yeah, Mr. Rowland, I will bring him back right now!”
"No need!" William had not forgotten that she was injured, “I will pick him up!”
"Mr. Rowland, can you please not beat him again?’ Sherry kept going, "Do you know how sad he was, he was sitting alone at the bus stop crying, why did you do that?"
"Sherry, I didn't beat him, you stupid woman!" How many times did he have to tell her before she believed him?
"You didn't? Why are you still lying, and blackmailing me, you are very cruel, Mr. Rowland, I had no idea that you are so dominant, so unreasonable, and now you are even a torturer!”
"You!" William was angry, "You stupid woman!”
"See! You are cursing again, now I finally know why Samuel left home, you are really a scary scary man, this poor child!"
Sherry was shaking her head and sighed, she was feeling sorry for Samuel to be born into that family.
"Sherry, where are you?” William had no time to waste with her.
"You need to first promise that you will not beat him again, only if you do that, I will tell you where we are!" Sherry hadn't forgotten the reason why she made the phone call.
“Alright, I promise!" William finally said, only god knew how resistant he felt, but this woman was a hard nut to crack.
“Are you sure?"
"l am sure!"
“Alright, I will wait for you at YX Road number one!” Sherry had to bring Samuel there as quick as possible, she couldn't allow William to find out where she lived, that man was too dangerous, he had a wife and a child... wait, Samuel said that he had no mother.
What a poor kid, she never thought that Mr. Rowland was such a sadist.
"Wait for me, I will be there in 15 minutes!" As he finished, the line was cut.
In Daniel's room, Daniel was just turning on his computer, these days he hadn't spent at home, and was wondering if the man had left him a message, what did he think about his game?
"Samuel, do you like the game I gave you?" Daniel was showing him his work eagerly.
"Yeah!" Samuel was a little shy, but he had already gotten closer to Daniel.
Just in that moment, Sherry had finished her call and came to look for Samuel, "Samuel, I have called your father, he will come to pick you up, and he promised he will never beat you again!”
"Sherry!" Samuel didn't want to leave, Sherry was very nice to her, her cooking was great, he wished he could stay there.
"What is it?" Sherry asked him softly, she never had imagined that this boy was Mr. Rowland's son, he didn't even look like him, he must come after his mother, Sherry thought.
"Sherry, is Daddy angry?" Samuel was afraid that his father was angry at him for running away, and felt guilty about that.
"Your father promised that he will never beat you again, don't worry!” Sherry explained to him patiently.
"Mom, does he know that he was at fault?"
"Yeah, he does, Daniel, go and get dressed, we will send Samuel home!" Sherry said.
"Alright!" Daniel was logging into his MSN.
When he opened it, a chat window popped up, Daniel jumped up, and yelled out in excitement, "Wow, uncle said that my game design was really good, Mom, Mom, I did it!"
Sherry paused, she turned to her son, and asked confused, "What do you mean you did it?”
Daniel was smiling from one ear to the other, he thought that he hadn't talked to uncle in detail yet, and uncle already mentioned to buy his game, he was wondering if he was serious about that, and wanted to make sure about it, he couldn't allow himself to be happy for nothing, and turned quiet immediately, "Mom, can you bring Samuel, I still got something to do!”
"What could you possibly have to do?" Sherry had no idea what her son was talking about, "Will you not see Samuel off with me?"
Daniel came over and took Samuel's hand, "Samuel, I still have something to do, my mom will send you, if your dad beats you again, you can come over to our house to stay, you can sleep in my bed, okay?"
Sherry took Samuel's hand, who looked up, and looked at Sherry's soft face, he nodded, and was happy that he could spend some alone time with her.
"Daniel, I will be back soon!" Sherry didn't want to force Daniel.
"Yeah, bye Samuel!" Daniel went back to his computer and kept reading the comments.
“Bye Daniel!" Samuel said to him.
"Sherry, can I come to your house to play again?” Samuel asked Sherry on the way.
“Of course you can, you can ask your Dad to call me when you have time and send you over to play! But Samuel, you cannot run away from home again, no matter what happens, your father loves you, he will be worried, do you understand?"
"Yeah!" Samuel nodded his head, his face was filled with a happy smile, he could see Sherry again, and that made him really happy.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
