Suddenly, he felt a stinging in his heart because of Daniel's words, he was just a child, so young, he said that he didn't like him, and Sherry was right, he shouldn't have done that to him, but as soon as he was reminded that Daniel was Sherry's child, he was more than just annoyed, actually he liked this kid, and now he is depressed about it.
"Uncle, Mom said you should wash your hands to have dinner!" Daniel looked up and waited for William to reply.
He wanted to tell him that it wasn't true that he didn't like him, but as he was just about to say it, he swallowed the words back again, "Let's go.!"
Daniel turned around, his face was full with disappointment, William didn't say that he forgave him, so that meant he still didn't like him, and for a moment, his little face was frowning.
When William saw the child turn his back on him, he went to the bathroom, and knitted his brows.
If anyone saw the two of them frowning, they would have been curious how it was possible for them to look so alike? Maybe, blood was connecting the two of them!
Daniel turned on the faucet and grabbed for the soap, as he was washing his hands, he said to William, "Uncle, you have to wash your hands twice! Only then they will be clean enough!"
William looked at him, even though he was always paying great attention to living a hygiene life, but being told by a child how to do that was weird for him.
"Uncle, did you not hear me? If you don't wash your hands, Mom won't allow you to eat!" Daniel was already done, and handed the soap bar to William. William looked at the little hands, their lines were so clear, almost the same as his own hands. He reached out to grab the soap, Daniel's little hands in his, and his heart strangely skipped a beat.
Daniel though suddenly yelled, "Uncle, I already washed my hands, and now you made them dirty again! Mom said this will cause cross infections!" As he said, he turned on the faucet again to wash his hands another time.
"My hands are not dirty!" William said annoyed, it has always been him to avoid others, this was the first time that he was being avoided by someone else!
"Hurry up, uncle!" Daniel rushed.
"Are you guys still not done?" Sherry already carried all the dishes on the table.
"Mom, I am coming!" Daniel ran outside, and sat down on his chair. Sherry went to get him porridge, but even when she was done, William was still not at the table.
Sherry looked towards the bathroom, "Daniel, let's wait for William, I will go and take a look!"
William looked around in the small bathroom, he saw shampoo and shower gel, there was not even face wash anywhere, then the spottet soap, a lot of soap. He frowned a little, she kept it really simple.
Until today, he couldn't understand why she never used the 7.5 million, so many other women would have gone crazy seeing such an amount of money!
First, he thought she was like the other ones, but when he saw the savings account untouched, and she only wanted to see her son, he knew that he must have misunderstood her a lot.
Actually he wanted to tell her that Samuel was her son, but who would have thought that suddenly another child of hers appeared, this messed up all of his plans. And he was overwhelmed! All the plans he made were so wonderful!
"Are you still not done yet? I thought you were hungry?" Sherry turned around and asked him, interrupting his thoughts.
"Sherry!" He looked at her in the mirror, her face was light, her skin smooth, she didn't even use face wash, how could she have such good skin? When he thought about that, suddenly his lower body started to react, and tipped up his pants. Oh my gosh, this little buddy didn't even stop when being sick? William took a deep breath, trying to cover up being uncomfortable.
"Hm?" She looked into his eyes through the mirror and as she saw the way he was staring at her, the sentiment in his eyes, her heart stopped for a second.
"Mr. Rowland, food is ready!" She turned, his eyes were filled with aggression, she didn't like that, so she turned around, "Hurry up!"
"Towel!" He said in his deep voice.
Sherry paused, turned around and looked at the towel on the hook, and said, "You can use this one, it has been washed and still unused."
He took it, wiped his hands, she watched his long skinny fingers hang it back, and said, "I will call a taxi for you after dinner!"
She wanted to chase her guest away so quickly, this woman really angered him, "I am not well recovered yet!"
"But there is no place for you to stay in my house!" Sherry didn't want to have a man stay over, especially not her ex-boss.
"Are you sure you want a sick person to go on a taxi all by himself?"
"I told you I will arrange it for you!" Sherry replied.
William saw that she again, didn't bother about him, and got angry, "I am not eating anymore!"
Then he walked towards the bedroom.
Sherry was startled, why would he not eat?
"Mom, when can we start eating?" Daniel was still waiting in front of the table, what were they doing? He was hungry, why would they not come to eat?
"In a second!" Sherry went after William, "Mr. Rowland please stop being so childish, come and eat something, you haven't had anything in a while!"

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