A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 44

“I am not afraid!" Sherry suddenly felt a little awkward, and didn't know what to do.

 

"Tomorrow forenoon 11am, I'll see you here!” He didn't intend to let her go, instead, he was feeling even more joyful, his eyes 

still fixed on her face.

 

Sherry felt very uncomfortable under his stare, she answered his question quickly, “Alright”

 

She accepted the offer very forcefully, which caused William to knit his brows again.

 

*Mr. Rowland, goodbye!" Sherry didn't wait for his answer before she left the road.

 

William took a look around the district she was living in, it was an old district, and looked pretty aged, he wondered how she had spend all these years? Why was she still worried about finances even though she had money now?

 

Samuel was leaning on the car window, and watched Sherry leave, even when she was out of sight, he kept staring into her direction.

 

William opened the car door, and saw how his son was watching Sherry leave with a sad expression, he then couldn't blame him for running away anymore.

 

"Daddy, Sherry is so pretty!" Samuel said in a low voice, if his Mommy was so pretty and kind, how nice that would be!

 

"Yeah!" William was feeling a little annoyed, he helped Samuel to put on his seat belt, "Sit tight, let's go home!”

 

“Will Grandpa be mad?" Samuel asked quietly.

 

“Of course!" William said.

 

“Are you mad?"

 

“"Nopet"

 

“I'm sorry!”

 

"There will be no next time!" William started the car, and rubbed Samuel's head, "Do you like Sherry?”

 

“I do!" Samuel answered honestly.

 

"Daddy, was Mommy also this pretty?” Samuel asked.

 

“Kinda!” William was feeling even more annoyed now.

 

"Daddy, why did Mom leave us? Was I not a good kid?" When Samuel mentioned that, his eyes lost their glow.

 

It suddenly went quiet in the car.

 

Samuel, who was very sensitive, suddenly realized that he asked too many questions, his father didn't like it when people 

asked about his mother, "Dad, sorry!”

 

William felt his heart aching, and shook his head, "You really want to have a mother, don't you?"

 

"Yeah!" He nodded his head, and said in a low voice, “But will you be mad? If you will be sad, then I don't want a mom 

anymore, Sherry has already promised me that I can go to her house to play! If I can see her often and eat her food, then I don't need a mom...”

 

"She cooked for you?” William raised his eyebrows in surprise.

 

"Yeah, she cooks different than what we eat at home, it's really delicious, it tastes like home!” Samuel said in a low voice, "It's even better than what Grandpa's chef cooks!”

 

“Oh, really?” William was suddenly a little jealous of his kid, “Then I will take you to Sherry's to have your meals in the future!"

 

"Really?"

 

"Yeah!" William suddenly saw the three of them sitting around the table like a family, that is what he dreamed of, but it has 

never come true!

 

"Does Mrs. Howe's food not taste good?” William asked.

 

Samuel thought for a while, and shook his head, "No, Dad, Mrs. Howe's food doesn't taste like motherhood, but Sherry's does!"

 

Even Samuel didn't really understand why, but he really liked Sherry!

 

But William was shocked by Samuel's words, taste of motherhood! This was really meant to be!

 

That night, Sherry couldn't sleep, she was thinking about the lunch she will have to have with Mr. Rowland.

 

When it was 10am the next day, Sherry started to feel anxious, her hands were sweating, and she looked nervous, even 

Sherry herself had no idea what she was $0 nervous about.

 

At 11am, Mr. Rowland will come!

 

Early in the morning, Sherry brought Daniel to the kindergarten, after she came back home, she was sighing all morning.

 

She thought about the times that he forced a kiss on her without any reason at all, it was all so sudden to her, and she had meant to ask him what this was for.

 

What kind of relationship did they have?

 

Yeah, what was this relationship?

 

Whenever she remembered him kissing her, she felt herself burn up.

 

Suddenly her phone rang.

 

Sherry was startled by the ring, her heart was racing.

 

She looked at her phone, it was the number she dialed yesterday, which she afterwards saved as “Mr. Rowland".
