A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 41: He Has A Son

“Quickly get up!” Sherry straightened herself and yelled angrily. Her face blushed in embarrassment but what was the use of being embarrassed? She scolded herself. She glared angrily at William again but he seemed to be happy to be seen by others kissing her.

“I'll get the nurse to give you an injection!” William smiled while still holding onto her waist. The other hand started to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Let him see us and he will know that you are my woman!”

“When did I agree to it?” She was stunned. Her face blushed so red that it could not be any redder.

“You didn't object when I kissed you just now!” William said as a matter of fact, “I've left my mark and you can't deny it anymore!”

“And, you are not to be a shield for anyone! You are not made of steel!” The tone of his words stunned her. Did he really regard her as his woman?

Sherry looked at William's handsome face in bewilderment. His thin cheeks looked as if they were chiseled by an ax. His features were not as delicate as Liam but were deep and pronounced. He was extremely attractive and one can detect both intelligence and ferocity in his smile.

“But who wants to murder Mr. Brooks? Mr. Rowland, quickly have Mr. Brooks return to the country!” She was clearly worried about Liam.

“Sherry!” William frowned. He will punish her immediately if she cared so much about another man!

“What's the reason for this?” William's piercing gaze glanced towards Liam's handsome face.

“Last year I came over to conduct a retrenchment exercise. I laid off a worker who was late for work. She explained the reason but I didn't listen and fired her. Thereafter she spent a year without a job. She couldn't find a job in the same sector because she didn't show up to work on time and that affected her negatively. She became desperate because she wasn't able to find a job" Liam explained the reason for the attack last night.

“So has this been settled?" William frowned.

“No, it’s awaiting your input!" Liam felt very guilty. He wanted to hire the woman who hurt Sherry but he wasn't sure if William will agree to it.

“What's your suggestion?”

“Let's allow Annika to come back to work. I was indeed rather heartless and didn’t take into consideration that she was late because her child was sick!”

“So you can allow someone who had hurt Sherry to come back to the company to work?” William frowned even tighter.

“That's why I need your approval!”

“Will she learn from her mistakes and turn over a new leaf?”

“Yes!”

“Then let her come back!” William nodded.

Sherry stood at the door and listened to their conversation. Now she understood that the person who injured her was due to work reasons. And they were so gracious! Sherry couldn't help but smile and felt that her injury was worth it. She didn't open the door and went back to lay on the bed.

Once Annika was reinstated to her work, she immediately went to the hospital to visit Sherry.

There were two rows of five bodyguards in the room. As soon as Annika entered, she immediately bowed to Sherry and apologized. But because of the language barrier, Sherry didn't understand what she said.

“Ms. Murray, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!” Annika kept bowing and apologizing.

William was expressionless and emotionless and said to the translator, “Ask her to leave and do a good job!”

After she left, Williarm asked Sherry, “Are you hungry?”

Sherry shook her head, “What did she say?” She didn't understand a word.

“She apologized to you!”

“Oh!” Sherry started to laugh.

“Have you gone insane?” William rolled his eyes at her.

“It's good to resolve a joblessness issue!” It was always good to bury the hatchet, "Mr. Rowland, you should go back to your work!”

“Sherry, who is the director?” William's expression darkened and said coldly.

“You are!”

“So who decides if I have any work to do?”

“You!”

“I'll rest today!” William continued to sit on the sofa, “You can close your eyes if you don't wish to see me”

Sherry didn't expect that he will joke and couldn't help but laugh, “But I've slept enough!”

William grinned when she laughed, “Then you have no choice, you will have to see me the whole of today”

Sherry thought that this person was alright apart from being a chauvinist and liked to womanize. He also had a tender side to him and now she didn't feel disgusted by him.

“Mr. Rowland, where did Ms. Brooks go yesterday? Why didn't I see her after that?” Sherry suspected that Sarah had slipped away mid-way through.

“I don't know!” William was looking at his laptop. He was playing the game designed by Dan. He didn't expect that a five year old can design such an interesting game. If they were to market it, it may be able to sell for a significant amount of money! This type of game sparked one of William's plans.

As he played, he suddenly received a call from home. William received the call and John said anxiously, “Will, Sammy had disappeared! Disappeared!”

“What?” William was stunned, “What happened?”

“The driver went to pick him but couldn't find him. I’ve already made a police report!” John didn't dare to waste a moment.

“I'm on my way home!” William looked at Sherry and became stern, “Go back with me to nurse your injury!”

Sherry heard that something was wrong from his tone, "What happened?”

“Something happened to my son!” William said solemnly.

“Your son?” Sherry was stunned, “You have a son?”

William's gaze deepened and Icoked at Sherry's eyes, “Are you very surprised?”

Sherry's face turned red and her hands started to tremble and panicked while she said, “No, no! Let’s go back now!” She quickly got off the bed.

“Do you mind that I have a son?’ William asked.

“Why should I mind?” Sherry replied instantaneously. What did it have to do with her that he had a son?

William didn't say anything and his expression became very profound but Sherry didn't notice it.

She had an indescribable feeling but was very surprised that William had a son. Then he must have a wife. If he had a wife, then why had he been harassing her?

She must stay away from him from now on.

Sherry was very quiet along the way back.

After they disembarked from the airplane, William instructed Liam to send her to the hospital but Sherry didn't think that it was

necessary. She only needed to go to the hospital to remove the stitches. Now she wanted to see her son. “Mr. Brooks, please send me to this address”

When they arrived at Celia’s apartment complex, Liam said to Sherry, “Sherry! Thanks so much for saving me!” Liam looked gratefully at Sherry.

Sherry laughed and was somewhat embarrassed. She didn't do it for him. It was a reflex action, she thought.

“Call me if your condition worsens. I'll send you to the hospital!” Liam gave his number to Sherry.

At the entrance of the kindergarten.

“Mommy!” Dan ran over excitedly when he saw Sherry. “Mommy, didn't you say that you won't be back for several more days?

How come you're back in just two days?”

“Son, let's go home!” Sherry used her uninjured hand to hold his hand, “Because mommy misses Dan!”

“Mommy, look over there!” Dan pointed towards a bus stop where a child was crying, “Look at that crying kid!”

Sherry turned and saw a little boy who was about Dan's age. The boy was crying bitterly. The child was beautiful. It was rare to see such a beautiful boy and he was about the same age as Dan.

Sherry held Dan's hand and walked over and asked the boy, “Buddy, are you alright?”

The crying boy looked up and saw a beautiful auntie. But he was very shy and didn't dare to speak.

“What's wrong?” Sherry asked patiently.

This child was like a flawless porcelain doll. His lips were red and his teeth were white and he was amazingly beautiful. She

just didn't know why he was crying and he looked very reserved.

What a pretty auntie! Sammy sighed and forgot his tears. He was stunned at how much this auntie looked like an angel, “I, I... auntie, my daddy wants to hit me, can you adopt me?”

“Oh? Mommy, his daddy is so violent. This little brother is so pitiful” Dan’s compassion surged, “Let's take him home quickly!”

At this moment Sammy saw that Daniel had a mommy! But he didn’t have a mommy. He started to pout and he almost cried.

Sherry was stunned. She looked at the approaching bus and then at her watch. It will be dark soon. “Buddy, how about this?

Come home with auntie and then I'll try to contact your father. I will make sure your father won't hurt you anymore and then I'll send you home, okay?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“No! I don't want to go home!” Sammy shook his head stubbornly. There wasn't a mommy at home. There was only grandpa and grandpa didn't play with him. Each time when he said that he wanted a mommy, grandpa would shout at him. He didn’t want to go home!

Daddy only went back once in a long while. He said that he will look for mommy but he still hadn't found her. He didn't have the patience to wait anymore.

“Then come home with auntie! It’s too late now!” Sherry can't bear to leave this child outside. Additionally, this child was so cute and adorable.

“Okay!” Sammy was very happy to hear. This was the first time he had gone to someone else's house!

“Why does your daddy hit you?” Dan asked Sammy on the bus, “doesn’t your daddy know that the law doesn't allow parents to mistreat their children?”

Sammy lowered his head guiltily. It wasn’t right for him to say that about his daddy. But he didn’t mean it. He simply said in

passing and didn't think that anyone would believe him.

“Don't be frightened. I'll have my mother make a police report and let the police arrest your father. Then you won't be in danger anymore!” Dan patted his chest to promise Sammy.

Sammy was shocked and swallowed his saliva. He didn’t want the police to arrest his father. He was wrong. He didn't mean to blame his father.

Back at home.

Sherry cooked for the two children and thought that she must send the child back after dinner. His family members must be

worried sick.

Sherry was busy preparing dinner and Sammy sat on the sofa and peeked at Sherry. He felt very close to this auntie and she was very beautiful. How nice if he could have such a mommy, he thought.

Sherry raised her head and saw the reflection in the window of a pair of bright round eyes looking at her. Sherry walked out of the kitchen and towards the sofa,

“Buddy, what's your name?”

“Sammy!” Sammy replied obediently, “Auntie, your house is so nice! It’s so nice to have the smell of a mommy!"

Although Sammy's house was large, but there wasn't the smell of a mommy.

“Haha, how does a mommy smell like?” Sherry asked curiously.
