A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 93

Standing quietly, that cool little face was emotionless and was calm. The dark pupils were filled with strange emotions and looked exactly like himself.

“Master, your father misses your mother a lot. Don’t blame him and it had nothing to do with you!” Mrs. Howe comforted him as she wiped his tears.

How much of the father’s words could a five year old child endure? Mrs. Howe tried to comfort William but the small boy shook his head.

“Mrs. Howe, I understand. I know that I lost my mother when she gave birth to me. It’s my fault! It’s all my fault!” The voice of a five year old child should be innocent but his was mature and rigid. William turned and walked into the garden. Even the sun could not warm up his loneliness and burden.

“What are you thinking of?” Dan didn’t receive his answer and asked again.

Dan’s words broke John’s train of thought and once he came to his senses, he looked at those eyes and his heart strangely ached. Vivien, why do this child’s eyes look so much like you?

John felt every part of him ache when he thought of his wife.

“Mr. Rowland, what are you thinking about?” Dan was puzzled and looked at him. What’s wrong with him?

John came to his senses and looked at the child again as he shook his head, “Boy, what is your name?”

“Didn’t I tell you?” Dan remembered that he had told Mr. Rowland his name.

“Maybe I’m old and can’t remember!”

“You are not old!” Dan pursed his lips, “Our guard at the school is older than you!”

“Ha!” Perhaps it was due to what Dan said, John grinned again and felt strangely close to him.

At this moment, a child’s cry could be heard from upstairs. It was Sammy’s voice.

“Old man, you lied, you are not a good person!” Dan frowned and rebuked. “Sammy is upstairs. You lied to me that he is overseas. Liar! Shame shame!”

“What?” John’s face turned red and felt like he had been caught in a lie. It was the first time someone had said that to him. After a long while, his expression changed, and said, “Go home and tell your mommy that Sammy is the grandchild of the Rowland family. It was agreed in the beginning and she must not renege on the agreement!”

“What renege?” Dan asked, “My mommy will not renege. I’m going to shout to Sammy! Sammy! I’m Dan. I’m downstairs, come down quickly!”

The cry paused for a moment and then became even louder, “Waahhh…”

John frowned even more, “Cry cry cry, you only know how to cry…”

“Sammy, come down!”

John endured his discontent and shouted, “What are you crying for?”

Suddenly it fell silent and only sobs could be heard.

“You, you yelled at him!” Dan rebuked, “I’m going to tell mommy that you mistreated Sammy. Old man, you will go to jail for this!”

When John heard this, he sat up from the sofa and said sternly, “He is my grandchild and I can do whatever I want! Servant, send this child home!”

“Old Master! I’m coming!” Mrs. Howe rushed in and loved Dan as soon as she saw him. She wiped his tears and asked, “Boy, where are your parents? How old are you? What’s your name?”

Dan looked around and saw a granny who smiled radiantly at him. He said adorably, “Hi granny, I’m Daniel. You can call me Dan. Sammy is my mommy’s child. My mommy found me. I’m here to take Sammy to see my mommy! Granny, can you tell this grandpa to give Sammy back to my mommy?”

“Your mommy?” Mrs. Howe was stunned and couldn’t come to terms with what he said, “Sammy’s mommy?”

“Mrs. Howe, get someone to send him back!” John’s voice was low and stern.

Mrs. Howe was stunned and said, “Old master, since it’s Sammy’s mommy, should they meet? Little master had been crying for far too long!”

“None of your business! He’ll stop once he had cried enough!”

“You’re heartless!” Dan raised his eyebrows. He thought for a while before saying, “How can Sammy have a grandfather like you? You are not kind at all. You are a hateful old man!”

What Dan said shocked Mrs. Howe. Based on her memory, when William was young he once said the same about his father. He said, “You are a hateful father!”

When Dan said that Mrs. Howe was shocked and looked at John. She was worried that John would rage but he just looked calmly at Dan and was full of admiration. He lowered his head to look at the small boy and at that small face. Dan was facing directly to him with full of disdain as if he despised him.

“Old master, the way this child speaks is like when William was young. He is truly adorable!” Mrs. Howe couldn’t help but laugh. How time flies, she thought, twenty plus years went by in the blink of an eye.

“Granny, what are you laughing about? Quickly get Sammy to come down. Didn’t you hear that Sammy was crying? It wasn’t easy for him to finally get a mommy. Furthermore, uncle said that Sammy can remain by mommy’s side. Quickly get grandpa to let him come down.”

“Old master, why don’t we…” Mrs. Howe said halfway.

“No! Let him go back!” John yelled coldly, turned, and walked upstairs.

When Dan heard that John wanted him to leave and not let him see Sammy, his dark eyes revealed a determination that was unlike a child, “Old man, you better don’t regret!”

John was startled and turned as he was on the stairs, “Are you threatening me?”

“Yes!” Dan said with that baby voice but his tone was more mature than his age.

“What do you intend to do?” John started to grin.

“I’ll tell everyone that you mistreat a child!” Dan already thought about it. He wants to post this on the chat forums and to the websites and let others know that his mommy has a child!

“Hmm? How will you tell?” John laughed. John had not laughed for the entire year and when he did, it was so radiant.
