A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 54: We're Going Home

Right after she sat down, she saw William walking out of the elevator.

“Mr. Rowland, good morning!” Alice greeted him.

“Good morning!” for the first time, William smiled and greeted Alice back.

Alice was dumbfounded... She wondered what happened to Mr. Rowland? He unexpectedly greeted her and even smiled at

her! Oh my... Did Mr. Rowland win the lottery? Alice muttered at heart.

In contrast to William's high spirits, Sherry had no spirit at all.

Once William turned his head and saw Sherry in the office room... As if he was quite surprised, he rolled his eyes and

stopped. Sherry was lowering her head because she didn't dare to see him... As if she felt guilty and hypocritical for working there because of what happened on the previous night.

“Sherry, good morning!” William's voice was very clear.

“G-good morning, Mr. Rowland!” Sherry suddenly stood up and greeted him, but her reserved act was really puzzling that

Alice also looked over.

William glanced meaningfully at her, “Sherry, bring me a cup of coffee!”

“Yes!” Sherry stiffened, and suddenly felt something slipping out of her eyes... lt was so fast that she quickly left the office room. When she brushed past William, his eyes glistened.

In the coffee room, Sherry covered her face with her hands, she was exhausted. She felt her eyes getting sore, like the whole world was so big but there's no place she could rely on.

Why did he have to be so cruel? He was so cruel that he robbed the only precious thing for her?! Why?! Chastity! Child! It's all gone!

How in the world would she finally be able to see her son?

Who could tell her what she's supposed to do?

Sherry cried in despair and resentment.

With the sorrow and despair, Sherry just felt so hopeless. That's probably the feeling of something so far away, like it's forever.

She put the coffee on the table and sat down at the sofa, burying her head deep between her knees. Suddenly, a pair of black

leather shoes appeared in her hazy vision.

She slowly raised her head and saw the man standing in front of her.

He was looking straight at her, and his chin was so smooth.

William slightly frowned, “You're hiding here to cry?”

If he didn't say "cry", perhaps her tears wouldn't fall, but she couldn't hold her tears back because he said that! She just

looked at him like that as her crystal-clear tears fell.

William suddenly stretched his hands out and pulled her into his embrace softly.

She was just like a lifeless doll that didn't move nor rebel as he hugged her. But she knew that the hug didn't belong to her!

Even if he was domineering and unreasonable, he didn't belong to her!

“Mr. Rowland, let me go!” she sounded really cold, “Your coffee is done!”

Sherry immediately returned to her usual attitude, she had gone through so many hardships and she'd be able to go through

that too!

Seeing her quickly protecting herself, William suddenly felt sorry.

Sherry smelled the perfume on his body and there was no tobacco smell on him, presumably, he had just changed his clothes

and had yet to smoke!

She turned sideways, brought the coffee, and brushed past him again.

Seeing the marks on her necks, William's eyes glistened oddly as he followed her out.

Right when he walked out of the coffee room, he ran into Liam. “Will, the weather is nice today, do you want to go to the

bathing beach?”

“Sure!” William smiled and responded happily.

Liam was dumbfounded, since when was William that easy to persuade?

Then, Liam said, "Will! You seem so energetic today. You didn't scold me and your face is blushing... Don't tell me that you've

consumed Viagra?”

At the bathing beach.

“Will, you sure you didn't have any romance these days?” Liam asked him strangely in his swimming trunks. For the whole

day, Liam felt that something was wrong with William because William was overly excited!

“Fuck you!” William walked out after changing into his swimming trunks, he looked like he wanted to smile, but he didn't.

“Tch, tch, tch..” Liam turned his head, saw William's build, and exclaimed, “I didn't know that you have such great build!”

William had the build of a model, he wouldn't be too sturdy or too thin, just right... Very sexy and enchanting.

“Aren't you the same?!” William seemed to be more talkative that day, with less sarcasm.

“Eh? Wait, what's with your shoulder?” Liam suddenly saw a scar on William, he then laughed out loud after seeing it in detail,

“Hahaha... Which little wild kitten you spent with last night? Look, she bit you!”

Once William lowered his head and saw the teeth marks on his shoulder, his gaze became tender.

“No way... Could SM be popular these days? Is there any wax drop, handcuffs, or something else?” Liam suddenly became

interested.

“Your imagination is particularly wild!” William squinted at Liam as he jumped into the swimming pool.

“Will, you're so stingy, would you die if you tell me a little bit?” Liam talked to himself before jumping into the pool with him.

They both swam one loop, then William leaned on the pool side for a rest.

“Liam, you're in charge of that kid's game development! After the press conference is done, enjoy that project”

Talking of that kid, Liam was very surprised, “Will, aren't you curious as of which woman could give birth to such a lovely kid?”

That kid suddenly appeared on William's mind, making him smile, “I'm pretty curious! When the game press conference date

is set, let's invite his parents... Perhaps we can get to know them!”

William really wanted to meet that kid's parents.

“He doesn't seem to have a father!” Liam shook his head as he said that.

“Why?" William raised his eyebrows.

Liar quoted Dan's words, "Not everyone has a daddy, just like not everyone has a mommy! That's what that kid said, and I'm just passing it on to you!”

“Ugh!” William groaned as his heart twitched, “It turns out that he doesn't have a Daddy!”

“Yeah! He has a Mommy! You'll know when you see his Mommy! What a distressing mother and son!” Liam secretly glanced

at William... He was sure that William didn't know that the kid was Sherry’s... Liam suddenly looked forward to the scene when William would see Sherry showing up with her child.

“Your preferences have changed... Now you're accepting single moms?" William joked as he looked at Liam beside him.

“Ugh! Yeah, as long as that woman is so beautiful that Ill fall for her at the first sight... Think about it, getting a genius son for free... I wouldn't need to go and earn money anymore!”

“You have started to plan it out?”

“Yeah! I have such plan, and it'll be great if we don't fight for her after you saw her. Hahaha...” Liam laughed as he said that. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Boring!” William glanced at him, "You don't really like her, do you?”

“Well, it's highly potential, and it's not impossible!”

“Really?” he started to look curious.

William's gaze scared Liam, making him smile in guilt, “I'm just joking! But that kid is really genius!”

William looked like he couldn't bear with Liam any longer, he just turned around and entered the pool again...

At the kindergarten's gate.

Sherry picked Dan up after getting off work. She felt very guilty because she didn't let Dan go home for two nights.

The other kids already went home, and there were only a few kids left in the classroom.

Meanwhile, Dan was sitting on the swing by himself. Once Sherry arrived at the kindergarten and saw Dan looking so lonely

from faraway... She felt very sad as her body trembled.

She unexpectedly left Dan at the kindergarten for two days... At first, she had sworn that she'd take good care of him after she picked him up. How could she neglect such cute and considerate kid for two days!

Sherry turned her head around and wiped her tears before calling, “Dan ..”

“Mommy!” Dan was bored before he heard Sherry's voice. He then raised his head and threw himself to her embrace happily,

"Mommy, you're back?”

Seeing how Dan was so excited, Sherry felt even worse, "Dan, Mommy is back!”

Sherry hugged Dan right away, while Dan kissed Sherry's face and said, “Mommy, you just came back from the business trip, right? Isn't that very tiring? If that’s so, Dan can keep staying in the kindergarten!”

Sherry hugged Dan tightly as the guilt in her heart kept flowing out, “Dan, sorry, Mommy shouldn't have abandoned you for so long! Mommy is not going on business trips anymore, let's tell the teacher that we're going home tonight!”

“Can we really go home?” Dan seemed to not believe it fully.

Sherry nodded, "Go home, dear, we're going home!”

That one sentence made Dan smile, “Yes! We can go home! We can go home now!”

She looked at Dan's pure smile as tears fell from her eyes onto the floor, smudging it.

“Mommy, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?” Dan immediately wiped Sherry's tears after seeing her crying. Dan was so considerate that it hurt Sherry's heart, she couldn't even breathe smoothly... She squatted, hugged Dan, and buried her face on Dan's little shoulders like she was looking for something to depend on, "No one bullied Mommy, Mommy is just crying because Dan is happy...”

On Friday.

Sherry was in charge of the opening of the fashion show with AVL on that night.

People were forbidden to enter the Plaza until the opening ceremony that would be held at night.

In the evening, Sherry and Susan were preparing the final work in the plazas changing room, hoping that there wouldn't be any mistakes in the official show.

“Sherry, why are you so slim now? We didn't see each other for a few days and you already look so haggard!” Susan asked in a worry.

Sherry stroked her own face and forced a smile out, "Sue, I'm fine... I'm probably too busy these days!”

“You should take things easy, good health is needed for work... Don't force yourself!” Susan patted her shoulder, "Go sleep on the sofa for a bit, I'll handle the rest”

“No need!” Sherry shook her head gratefully, “I'm fine!”

“Just go!” Susan advised her sincerely, “I can see how William abused his subordinates just by looking at you! It's really hateful for him to give such arduous work to you!”
