A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 74

“Erm! I’m only afraid that Sherry wouldn’t agree!” William winked at the person beside him but Sherry didn’t reply.

“No, uncle, I welcome you to my house!” Dan said like a little host.

Sherry kept her silence but was very depressed. The more she didn’t want them to have any contact, the more they were involved with each other. She looked to the side at William and he also looked at her at the same moment. Suddenly he teased her, “Ms. Murray, will you take me in tonight?”

“As you wish!” Her heart quivered but her mood seemed elated. She turned her face away to compose herself.

“Uncle, is your cold better?” Dan was still worried.

“Yes! I’m feeling much better!” William felt very touched by his concern.

“Does daddy have a cold?” Once Sammy heard what Dan said, he also became concerned for his father.

“Yes! But I’m fine now!” William suddenly thought that it was great to have another kid. His father should be happy to have another child and wouldn’t object that much.

“Then tonight uncle can eat spicy food!” Dan said and tugged on Sherry’s clothes, “Mommy, you can make spicy chicken for uncle. Yesterday uncle didn’t eat!”

“Ah! Eat spicy food?” Sammy heard and he became worried, “Can we not eat something spicy?”

…

Amusement Park.

The two kids held hands and walked in front. It was the first time Dan came to an amusement park and was particularly happy. Sammy was also much more carefree.

“Don’t run too fast. Decide what you want to play!” William shouted.

Sherry looked at his dark back view and was momentarily dazed. She didn’t think that he could be so warm, tender, and full of love for his son.

Dan held onto Sammy and looked at the big windmill ride, “Uncle, can I ride that?”

“I don’t want to!” Sammy shook his head and was nervous.

William looked skyward towards the cabin. The tourists would ride on the propellers of the windmill that rose steadily. Thereafter the big arm rotated while the cabin arm also rotated. Then the cabin would spin due to centrifugal force. The three motions combined to give a graceful and wild 360 degrees dance of the windmill. It rolled, twisted, turned, and rocked freely amidst the blue sky and white clouds. It was truly thrilling!

“Dan this is too dangerous!” Sherry was also very nervous but Dan didn’t think so.

“Mommy, it’s fun!”

William thought and he also liked these thrilling and dangerous rides. He admired Dan and looked towards Sammy. He said carefully and softly, “Son, a boy must be brave. Dan dares to ride it, so why don’t you?”

Sammy swallowed some saliva, “Daddy, it’s too high!”

“Okay, go with auntie to ride the carousel. Daddy will ride the windmill with Dan, okay?” William said.

“Okay!” Sammy heard and grabbed onto Sherry, “Auntie, let’s go to the carousel, it’s very fun!”

“But…” Sherry looked at Dan with worry.

“Rest assured, this kid is like me and loves danger. Leave him with me!” William already brought Dan to buy the tickets.

“Mommy, relax, I’ll be fine!” Dan went happily with William.

“Auntie, let’s ride this!” Sammy took the tickets which William bought for them and pulled Sherry towards the entrance. William and Dan also disappeared towards the windmill ride.

“Sammy, come, sit down properly!” Sherry likes Sammy. He was a very shy kid. What a pitiful child. Sherry was wondering what happened to his mother to leave this child. Also, what happened to William to break off with this child’s mother.

Sammy rode happily on the wooden horses for the first time in his life. His dad had never brought him there. But this time he was very happy to have this auntie beside him and he smiled radiantly.

Sherry sat on the wooden horse and when the carousel began to turn, her gaze turned to the sky. She could see the cabins of the windmill spinning in the sky and heard loud screams of excitement. She was certain those screams included Dan and William’s.

When they came down from the ride, Dan’s face was red from the thrill, “Uncle, that was great!”

“Weren’t you frightened?” William’s face was slightly pale and thought that he must be old now and his heart couldn’t take the excitement. This kid was so brave and was unfazed and so happy with the ride.

“I’m not frightened! It’s very fun. It felt like flying. It’s so fun to fly!”

“Yes!” William nodded, “Okay! I’ll take you for this ride again the next time we come!”

“Let’s go and find mommy!” Dan pulled William towards the carousel just as Sherry and Sammy were walking out.

When they met up, Sherry realized that she was worried for nothing. Her child was alright and his cheeks were rosy from the excitement.

“Mommy, the next time you ride with me okay? Sammy, you too, it’s very fun. We actually flew up!”

“Oh my!” Sherry tapped on his nose, “Mommy was so frightened!”

“Mommy is so timid!” Dan stuck out his tongue, “Uncle and are the bravest. Mommy and Sammy are so timid!”
