A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 46

He didn't expect his sun to run right past him while William went into his knees to pick him up, instead, Samuel ran towards Sherry, and said excitedly, "Sherry, what are you doing here?”

 

William was stunned, what on earth, who's son are you?

 

When Sherry saw Samuel like that, she felt a little twitch in her heart, this child had no mother his whole life, so he felt so close to Sherry, a person he had only met once.

 

She was a woman with a soft heart, and when she saw a child like that, her eyes reddened, she lowered herself to hug him tight, "Samuel, I am here to visit you, have you been a good boy in kindergarten?”

 

"Yeah! I have been good, will you come to pick me up again with Daddy next time?" He was already thinking about the next day, this little boy really made Sherry's heart ache.

 

She nodded her head, eyes still reddened, “Good boy, I will come often to see you!"

 

Sherry looked at Samuel, her eyes filled with love, he was such a sweet boy, just as sweet as Daniel, she reached out to comb his hair with her fingers, then she fixed his clothes as well. This gestures were filled with motherly love.

 

William saw all this, and looked away, his eyes seemed to be watery, but it was only for a blink of an eye, and he quickly caught himself again, "Samuel, have you forgotten about your Dad?"

 

“Daddy!” Samuel lowered his head a little embarrassed, then he came towards William, who bend over to pick him up.

 

"Son, didn't I give you a huge surprise today? Are you happy?"

 

Samuel was a little shy, and laid his head on William's shoulder, then he said in a small voice, "Daddy, my teachers said that you came with Mommy to pick me up! Did you tell my teachers that Sherry is my mom?”

 

William thought for a while before he nodded, then he whispered back, “Don't tell Sherry, if you tell her, she won't come to see you again, alright?”

 

“But why did you say that she was my mom?" William paused, then he smiled.

 

“Don't you like her?"

 

“I do!"

 

“What are you two whispering about?” Sherry saw that they were pillow talking, and couldn't help but to interrupt.

 

"Nothing!"

 

"Nothing!"

 

The two of them said at the same time.

 

“Aha!” Sherry laughed, it was easier to forget about the worries in life when being with a child, it was time for lunch, and she was wondering if Daniel was taking good care of himself.

 

A child who had no father was quite pitiful, but a child who had no mother even more. Sherry remembered her own son again, who had been taken from her, she wondered how he was doing, if someone was caring and loving him.

 

Samuel came down from William's arms, and ran towards Sherry to hold her hand.

 

By that time, there were already a lot of children in front of the classroom, all of them were surrounding William and Sherry, some of them were even yelling, "Samuel, those are your parents, aren't they?”

 

"Samuel, your Dad is so handsome!” A little girl screamed, "Wow, much more handsome than my Dad, Samuel, can I have your Daddy?”

 

“And that's your mom!"

 

When Samuel heard those children scream and yell, he looked up at Sherry with a shy face, she was so nice not to tell them the truth.

 

Then, he gathered all his courage and yelled back, "Who said I didn't have a mother, my mom is right here, she came to visit me!"

 

Sherry was startled, and her eyes reddened again.

 

William looked at her from the side, and leaned closer, then he put an arm around her waist, and said, “Thank you, I thank you on behalf of my son to let him have his moment!”

 

Even though she didn't like to lie, but she was satisfied as she saw how happy little Samuel was, he was smiling all over, and she suddenly felt that it was worth the trip over.

 

"Son, why don't we go have some fun?" William said.

 

When Samuel heard that, he was overly excited, and then shook his head. He stood there for a while, deep in his thoughts, while William and Sherry were looking at him confused, after a long time, he said haltingly, "But today is not weekend, and in the afternoon we will learn some new words, I do think that is a great idea, but, Grandpa said I have to study hard!"

 

“Huh! William was startled, then he laughed, and poked his son's nose, “Well, my son knows how important studies are, that is great!”

 

Because of that, Sherry felt even more sorry for Samuel, she thought of Daniel, who also worked hard in such a young age, they should be playing, but he was always like a little adult, which made her feel a twitch in her heart.

 

These children were really so lovely.

 

“What a good boy, I really like you so much!” Sherry patted Samuel's cheek, "I will come more often to visit you!”

 

“Yeah!” When Samuel heard Sherry's promise, he felt even more excited, and started to wave Sherry’s hand back and forth, "Sherry, I wish you were my mother!"

 

“Huh! Sherry's heart went cold, she saw how serious he was about that, and smiled, then she turned around and saw William, who looked at her and said, "I like Samuel's idea, Miss Murray, I think you should give it a thought!”

 

Sherry paused for a while, gosh, how could a bad and evil person like Mr. Rowland have such a cute and sweet little boy like Samuel? That was so weird!

"Don't you need to work this afternoon, Mr. Rowland?" Sherry was still smiling while Samuel was there.

 

“Yeah, well, someone was gloriously injured, I do think that I need to be around then, like a quard, work isn't as important. Ms. Murray, have you thought about my son's idea yet?”

 

It was just a child's thought, but why does it sound so ambiguous coming from him? Was he looking for trouble again?
