They had not seen each other for a few days, and she looked beautiful and innocent as ever. She was barefaced, portraying her fair skin and her big eyes were looking momentarily at him. Her poor-spirited face caused an urge in William to cherish her in his arms right now. She frowned helplessly when she saw him. This woman, how could she run away?
Alexis raised his eyebrows in doubt. What was happening here? Was she running away from William?
As soon as Sherry saw William, she immediately pulled Daniel and ran towards the washroom.
“Damn it!” William cursed with a frown. Then, he stepped forward and rushed over to Sherry.
Alexis narrowed his eyes as he was surprised to see his reaction, but he did not move. He waited to see what William was up to.
“Wait!” William stretched his arm out and grabbed her wrist, “You better make it clear to me, what’s going on?”
William pulled Sherry over to face him. A handsome face caught her attention, and she saw William staring angrily at her.
But, her heart was aching so much!
“Mister, let go!”
William almost went crazy when he heard such cold and alienated words. He pulled a long face, grabbed Sherry’s hand and dragged her towards the deserted corner.
“Uncle, I’ll be waiting here for you!” Daniel smiled deceitfully. Although he didn’t know what had happened, he was happy to see Uncle behaving like this. It turned out that Uncle actually cared about Mommy!
“William, let go of me!” Sherry shouted. It hurt a lot when he grasped her wrist. Sherry gritted her teeth while enduring the pain. When they got to a quiet place, William stopped his step and loosened his hand. Then, he turned around and kept his eyes on her.
Her wrist hurt so much. Sherry lowered her head and remained silent.
“Tell me, what’s going on?” He said with a deep voice.
“I’m leaving!” She said coldly. She lowered her head, staring at her toes while her heart ached a little. She didn’t know why she felt reluctant to leave. Then, Mr. Rowland’s words reflected in her mind and she was immediately brought back to reality.
She turned around and was about to leave, but William grabbed her once again.
They soon became the center of attraction as people noticed them pulling and dragging in public.
Sherry was blocked by his tall figure, so she didn’t realize people were looking curiously at them. She lowered her head in fear again. William reached out his hand and lifted her lower jaw. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and questioned her, “Tell me! What’s going on! Why did you run away?”
She stared at him, and her eyes were lost. William realized that after separating for less than a week, his heart felt a baffling affection for her when he saw her again. She was really beautiful, even without makeup. Such an angelic woman like her, was able to make him feel as if his heart was pounding out of his chest.
Sherry’s heart was fluctuating, but she held her fist tightly, and her nails that were injured yesterday caused a tingling ache. The pain on her body made her realize that she shouldn’t sink any further, so she looked at him and muttered, “I’m tired. Life in the city doesn’t suit me at all!”
After hearing her weakly words, William’s heart throbbed and instantly held her in his arms. He would never allow her to leave! He might have been too panic, or he just wanted to prove something to Sherry that he roughly kissed her at the airport where people were hurrying to and fro...
His kiss fell on her lips with a hint of tobacco smell, making her heart flutter as though it was pounding out of her chest.
At that moment, Sherry kept her eyes open. She did not refuse nor respond to his kiss. She just stood there as her heart felt numb.
She couldn’t let herself sink any further. She wanted to leave him, as well as Sammy. She must not indulge herself in his love!
He was the president of the Rowland Group. Even if he wasn’t now, he would still be the heir to the group in the future. A woman like her shouldn’t be staying by his side, not even as a lover. She must uphold her dignity, not only for herself, but most importantly for the sake of Sammy.
Alexis was stunned. Was this man still the William that he knew? He couldn’t believe that William would be kissing in public.
Daniel turned his head towards Alexis and smiled brightly, “Hi, Mister!”
“Um!” Alexis lowered his head and saw a little boy. Actually, he had already noticed this boy from the beginning, but he was too surprised at William’s reaction towards the woman that he had forgotten about this child! He looked down, and the child’s eyes looked familiar to him. Wow! It looked just like Will’s eyes!
“Introduce yourself, kid!” Alexis said while raising his brows.
“Mister, you’re so handsome!” Daniel praised him sincerely. This man was really cool, handsome and classy!
“Err!” Alexis was a little uncomfortable getting praised by a child for the first time, “Tell me your name!”
“Dan! My name is Dan!”
Not far away, William’s groan sounded again, “Damn it, tell me what’s going on?”
Sherry didn’t answer him. She could only bear the pain in her heart and said coldly, “Is this a farewell kiss?”
“Damn it!” William was going crazy. He was so mad at the fact that Sherry was speaking to him with such tone.
“Will, aren’t you going to introduce her to me?” A deep voice sounded behind him. His tone was a little sneaky, but oddly excited.
William turned around and Sherry saw a man approached them.
William said coldly, “It’s none of your business!”
Sherry saw a handsome man, but he was filled with an aura that lacked warmth. Even when he was grinning, his smile seemed so unreal. His white suit was nicely fitted and he had a defined figure. His thick black hair covered his forehead, and she could see that he wasn’t a man with good temper when he raised his eyebrows.
The corner of his lips tipped into a sneaky smile as his eyes were scanning at Sherry. Although his eyes seemed casual, his gaze were so sharp that it made Sherry feel as if she was examined at that moment. He looked at Sherry as though he was enjoying and assessing something on her.
Sherry looked down as she didn’t dare to look at him, so she said faintly, “Dan, we should go now!”
William stunned. He didn’t expect that she would still want to leave and embarrassed him in front of his friend.
Alexis laughed suddenly, “Will, I can’t believe that you can’t even handle a kiss. You really have to practice your skills well!”
