A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 79

Sherry had a quiet life for the next few days. William did not disturb her anymore. A week after the blind date banquet, her life began to return to usual. William and Liam had disappeared.

Dan had just enrolled in an elementary school. Sherry was worried that he couldn’t keep up with his lessons, but the little guy seemed to be at ease. After enrolling Dan came back once a week, Sherry had more leisure time than usual that she was not very used to.

Weekends were the time when the mother and son could get together.

Dan did not mention the matter anymore after he cried that day. Although he did not mention it, Sherry felt that he had changed and was much more silent than before.

She felt pity for her son, but he was already hurt. All she could do was to care for him more, hoping to gradually heal the trauma in him.

“Mommy, why doesn’t Sammy come to our house anymore?” While cooking, Dan couldn’t help himself from asking.

Sherry stunned, thinking that maybe her words influenced William. He would not harass her again. “I don’t know!”

“It’s really strange!” Dan frowned, “I’ll do my homework first!”

“Okay! Mommy will be done with the cooking soon!” Sherry looked back at her son and thought of William- He wouldn’t bring Sammy to their house again, would he?

Soon after finishing his homework, Dan turned on the computer. Last time he exchanged numbers with Sammy and agreed to chat online.

“Sammy, are you there?”

Soon, a message was sent from the other side, “Zai(Yes).”

Sammy did not know how to type the Chinese characters, so he could only type out the pronunciations. He could not recognize as many words as Dan could. But Dan understood what he meant.

“Is your daddy at home?” That was what Dan wanted to know most. It was because he had not seen Mr.William for some time.

“Dan, wohaoxiangqunijiawano(I want to go and play in your house)!”

“Let’s use the voice chat. Reading the pronunciations that you type is too tiring!” Dan launched a video invitation.

After a while, the two children met and laughed.

“Hello! Sammy, can you hear me?”

“Dan!’ Sammy was very shy and sat in front of the computer with a big headset on his ear. “Do you think my dad really likes your mommy?”

“Didn’t you ask him?”

“No!” Sammy shook his head. “Daddy is always in a bad mood recently. Grandpa won’t let him come home!”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Grandpa didn’t mention it!”

“Then your grandfather is extremely strict! He won't even let his son come back home!”

“Yes! I’m afraid of my grandfather, too!” Sammy said as he peeped out the door. “Shh, don’t let him hear that!”

“Ha! You’re talking about your grandfather behind him!”

“Don’t say that. Grandpa will be angry. I don’t want him to be angry!” Sammy said obediently.

“Well! If your father comes home, don’t forget to ask him to bring you to my house!” Dan rolled his eyes, “by the way, my mom misses you very much, too!”

“Really? Does Miss Sherry miss me?” Sammy was excited at once. Although he was still very shy, he was obviously more active. “I miss Miss Sherry, too.”

“Then ask your father to bring you here. My mommy is cooking dinner.” Dan continued to tempt him.

“But daddy seems very tired! I heard Daddy coming back! I’ll go and have a look. Talk to you later!” Sammy turned the video call off.

Dan smirked. Well, he could see that Mr. William liked his mommy very much from the beginning itself. It would be nice to have a daddy like Mr. William. At least mommy would not be lonely. If he didn't see Mr. William hugging mummy that night, he probably wouldn't have the idea of getting his mommy and Mr. William together. Anyway, they looked like a good match!

“Daddy! When shall we go to Dan’s house?” Sammy couldn’t wait to ask, as soon as he saw William.

William smoked on his cigarette silently. The first thing that came out from his son the moment he walked down the stairs, made him frown and exhaled in a mouthful of cigarette. “Sammy, daddy is very tired recently. Can we go some other time?”

“When?” Sammy obviously couldn’t wait anymore.

“Maybe when daddy is not busy.” Even he couldn't sort out his mood at the moment. He did not see her again after the blind date banquet a week ago. If she needed a peaceful life, he felt that he owed her that! Because her life was destined not to be simple anymore once she knew him.

“Well, but I miss Miss Sherry so much!”

“Who is Miss Sherry?” A stern voice came in suddenly.

William did not move. Sammy shuddered in shock, he said timidly, “grandpa!”

“Who is Miss Sherry?” Jack was a little surprised when he heard their conversation. Did his son have some woman that he likes? Did he introduce her to his grandson?

Sammy lowered his head. He didn't know the reason why he was afraid of his grandfather. He didn't think his grandfather liked him, because he did not smile at him at all when he was around him!

“Sammy, tell grandpa about this!”

“Grandpa, she is a beautiful …”

“Sammy, go upstairs!” William patted his son’s shoulder.

“Ok.” Sammy went upstairs obediently.

“Was she the reason you refused to go on blind dates? Or her identity is…?” Jack was upset, he couldn’t help himself from shouting, “if she is some woman like that, she would not have my permission to get into this family as long as I’m alive!”

“Sammy is timid, and he would be scared if you shout like this!” William glanced at his father. “If you keep showing this look on your face, I will take my son out of this house. I’m worried about my son’s mental health if he lives with you!”

“You, disobedient son!” Jack was trembling in anger.

William curled his lips and stood up. Without saying a word, he turned and went out.

“Young master! Young master, you just came back. Are you leaving again?” Seeing that he was going to leave, Mrs. Howe immediately called out. “You haven’t been back for a week! You look thin. Have you forgotten to eat again?”
