A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 87

She turned around and saw a tall figure standing in front of a huge French window, through which the sunlight filtered on him, making his attractive face seen clearly. He raised the corner of his mouth, a relaxed but charming smile appearing on his face.

Sherry stood still in a daze, watching him standing by the window, with a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. She felt her eyes were wet with tears welling up. Now she understood the feelings of worrying about a person badly.

With his sight fixed on her, William strode over and concealed the loneliness in his eyes. He wouldn’t let anyone see his vulnerability!

Her coming surprised him, but happiness rose up in his heart with the sight of her.

He moved his lips as if to speak but in the end he didn’t, just looked at her with a calm expression.

Their sights met. Sherry felt her heart pounding like a captive animal. He walked over slowly and saw tears in the corner of her face. Shocked a little bit, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Tears blurred her eyes. She suddenly felt awkward and turned her face aside.

She realized her abruptness. It seemed that she had over did it, because their relationship did not come that far that she should worry about him so badly! For a moment, she was overwhelmed by embarrassment and stillness.

He reached out his long and slender fingers and raised her chin, asking again with a husky voice, “Hmm? What’s the matter?”

A drop of tear slipping down her face, Sherry watched him and opened her mouth but said nothing!

William smiled. His eyes were bright like a torch. But the tears shining in her crystal eyes made his eyes sour with tears too. Maybe she was just shedding tears for herself? And he was surprised that he was touched by her tears. Unbelievable! He must have been bewitched by this little woman.

“Are you all right?” she finally uttered, with a shaking voice!

He suddenly pulled her into his arms and laid his head on her shoulder.

His sudden movement made her heart race like a drum.

William guessed she must have heard the news, but he didn’t expect she would come to see him!

“William, what exactly happened?” she spoke with a trembling voice, “Tell me, please!”

“You worry that I won’t be able to support your life?” he asked.

Her heart still beat wildly, and her throat tightened. She didn’t know what to say. Even now he still got a mood to play jokes, how annoying he was! “You……”

He held her shoulders and fixed his eyes on her, “I’m fine. I didn’t think you would worry about me so much. I’m really flattered!”

“Hateful!” she thought he seemed happy to lose his position as CEO.

“Sherry!” what a heartbreaking gentle call, “It’s fine with me that my position was replaced. Now I’ve got a lot of free time for something else. Can you imagine that?”

His understatements about the fact made her eyes well up tears again. She asked, “Why?”

“You don’t want me to marry Ashley and find Samuel a step-mother, do you?” he asked back.

“I……” she froze.

He turned her body around, and through the tear-filled eyes, he saw his face immerse in a limpid pool, so blurred and distant.

Seeing her teary eyes, slightly shocked as he was, he sighed, “Is it because that you’re afraid I can’t support you and children if I’m not CEO?”

“I don’t care if you’re CEO or not!” she argued quickly, but she suddenly felt it was not right for her to say so. She pushed him away and said, “Don’t you worry for yourself at all?”

“Why should I? I’m so pleased that he was willing to take the job!” William walked to the sofa near him and sat down. He lit a cigarette and started smoking again.

She noticed the piling up cigarette butts, which seemed to be finished a short while ago. It was obvious he had been smoking before her coming, but he just pretended to care nothing.

“Liar!” she walked to him with anger, took his cigarette and put it out in the ashtray. “Why did you smoke so much if you don’t care?”

He was surprised. She now looked like his wife very much. Wife! He was fond of this word!

“Are you worried that I’m not CEO of the company or that you have no chance to marry me for your life?” he raised his eyebrow and looked at her. That gorgeous face made her eyes blink.

At the moment when she lost in thought, he quickly embraced her into his arms and searched fragrance on her lips. Sherry blushed instantly.

“You……”

“This is a little punishment to you……” he showed a flirting smile. “It’s no use to be worried. You can only be with me in your life, even if I’m not CEO of the Rowland Group. You only can be my, William Rowland’s woman!”

“I’m not going to marry you!” she said, but her heart beat faster and her cheek was hot as if burning in fire. She struggled to get up, “Let me go!”

“Who allowed you to put out my cigarette?” he pretended to be irritated, “Well you have to be punished for this, the punishment is kissing me for ten minutes, or I won’t let you go!”

Sherry was pissed off for he still had mood to joke. Seeing his look in a carefree manner, she gnashed her teeth with hatred but didn’t know how to talk back.

“Why? Are you mad?” his musical and magnetic voice came to her ears, but she just glared at him with rage.

Under his teasing gaze, she flushed badly and her heart beat violently while she stayed in his arms. “You just let me go!”

“No!” he embraced her waist even tighter. “Kiss me, kiss me then I’ll let you go!”

“William Rowland, you rascal!” she yelled in a low voice in embarrassment.

“Hmm! Rascal? Then let me show you what a rascal would do!” as he said, he pulled her over by her neck, with their face to face in an extremely close distance. The tips of their noses almost touched, and his warm breath heated her face up gradually.
