Sherry's tears almost fell. She may not be so sad if Dan wasn't such a good boy. He never asked for too much. She couldn't help but feel sad because he was too sensible. Daniel was really a godsend to her!
The mother and son sat in a corner of Tranquil Restaurant, watching the cars come and go outside the window. But Mr. Brooks was nowhere to be found.
After drinking the juice Dan said, “Mommy, Uncle Liam was just joking with me. I get it now. I will never let you go out again.
Let's go home!"
They have rejoiced too soon.
“Hang on, Dan!" Sherry didn't want to give up. She wasn’t doing it for the money. She couldn't bear to see her son
disappointed. After all, this was his first child, and the first one always mattered the most.
"Mommy, I know Uncle Liam is not coming, let's go!” Dan has adjusted the mentality.
Just then, a tall figure appeared at the door of the restaurant.
It immediately drew attention of the waiters as soon as the person came in. The guy was in a vintage silver-gray suit and
purple tie. His vibe created an invisible bright circle where he was standing. Everyone was focusing on him.
Sherry didn't even notice at all.
He hurriedly walked to the reception desk and lighted up a gorgeous smile before speaking up, "Excuse me, has anyone
looked for a Mr. Brooks?"
"Uh!" The waitress was stunned. What a good-looking man!
“Miss?” Liam asked patiently with a smile.
"Um! Oh, sir. The mother and son over there were looking for you!" She pointed at Sherry.
Sherry was helping her son organize his clothes with her head lowered.
Liam glanced over and said to the waitress, "Thank you!”
He walked towards them and Dan saw him first. It was the uncle he had met before. The pretty uncle was with Mr. Big Dick last time!
“Hey! Pretty uncle!” The little boy spoke up first.
Liam recognized that it was that cute little boy who gave William a hard time. He couldn't help but laugh, “Wow! It's you, little
man!"
The voice sounded familiar to Sherry. She raised her head and saw Liam. Just then her jaw dropped in shock. "Why are you
here, Mr. Brooks?"
"Is he the genius William mentioned, Sherry?" Liam looked around and was surprised that there were no other children.
"So, Mr. Brooks, why are you here?" She wasn't sure what Liam was doing here, and she didn't dare to ask.
“William suddenly wants to develop a game software for some reason. He asked me to have a meeting here!"
“Oh, it was you!" Sherry was stunned and burst into laughter. "I thought we were being scammed!"
“Uh! Sorry, there was a traffic jam!" Liam sat down opposite them. "Turned out I was going to have the meeting with you.
Haha, what a coincidence!"
“Did Mr. Big Dick send you here?” Dan couldn't wait to speak up.
Sherry blushed right away. Meanwhile she was weighing if "Mr. Big Dick” was William Rowland?
“Hahaha..” Liam couldn't help laughing. “What's your name, sweet little boy?”
“Daniel Murray!" Dan answered loudly, not timid at all.
Liam paused, “Your last name is Murray? Is this child yours?”
"This is my son!" Sherry smiled and answered!
Liam was stunned, “Wow, you are married?”
He never expected that a young girl like Sherry would have a child this age. The news was even more powerful than an
atomic bomb.
This is Sherry’s secret. She didn't like to talk about Dan's past in front of others, nor can she explain it. She nodded. "Yes, Mr. Brooks, I was married!”
Liam swallowed, trying to digest the news.
Dan looked at Sherry in confusion, not understanding why mommy said that.
“Oh!” Liam nodded. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to react. "By the way, does Will know that Dan is your son?"
Sherry was shocked and shook her head, "I don't know whether he knows about it or not! Maybe he doesn't know!"
"Oh God, I wouldn't believe even if you deny that the kid is not yours. He looks just like you!” Liam looked at Dan seriously,
nodded and said, "Yeah, you do look alike!"
"Uh!" Sherry panicked and pursed her lips. Why did everyone say that Dan looked like her? Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe
people will stop saying that the child was not hers. She looked at Liam and nodded, “Yes, my son looks just like me!"
“What a beautiful child! How old are you, Dan?"
“Five years old!"
"You got married that early, Sherry?” He remembered that her age was either 23 or 24 on her CV. In other words, she gave
birth to the child when she was 17 or 18!
"Yes!" Sherry nodded awkwardly and lowered her head. It's wrong to lie. But she couldn't tell everyone that she has been a
surrogate woman.
“Was my game really okay, Uncle Liam?" Dan couldn't help but interrupt. He didn't forget why they came out here today.
“Oh! Let's get down to business!" Liam snapped his fingers, "Waiter, take our orders!"
Sherry paused but didn't dare to speak.
"Since it's your son, let me treat the little genius!" Liam smiled, and his eyes fell on Sherry's face.
