A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 74 Amusement Paradise

“Erm! I’m only afraid that Sherry wouldn’t agree!” William winked at the person beside him but Sherry didn’t reply.

“No, uncle, I welcome you to my house!” Dan said like a little host.

Sherry kept her silence but was very depressed. The more she didn’t want them to have any contact, the more they were involved with each other. She looked to the side at William and he also looked at her at the same moment. Suddenly he teased her, “Ms. Murray, will you take me in tonight?”

“As you wish!” Her heart quivered but her mood seemed elated. She turned her face away to compose herself.

“Uncle, is your cold better?” Dan was still worried.

“Yes! I’m feeling much better!” William felt very touched by his concern.

“Does daddy have a cold?” Once Sammy heard what Dan said, he also became concerned for his father.

“Yes! But I’m fine now!” William suddenly thought that it was great to have another kid. His father should be happy to have another child and wouldn’t object that much.

“Then tonight uncle can eat spicy food!” Dan said and tugged on Sherry’s clothes, “Mommy, you can make spicy chicken for uncle. Yesterday uncle didn’t eat!”

“Ah! Eat spicy food?” Sammy heard and he became worried, “Can we not eat something spicy?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

…

Amusement Park.

The two kids held hands and walked in front. It was the first time Dan came to an amusement park and was particularly happy. Sammy was also much more carefree.

“Don’t run too fast. Decide what you want to play!” William shouted.

Sherry looked at his dark back view and was momentarily dazed. She didn’t think that he could be so warm, tender, and full of love for his son.

Dan held onto Sammy and looked at the big windmill ride, “Uncle, can I ride that?”

“I don’t want to!” Sammy shook his head and was nervous.

William looked skyward towards the cabin. The tourists would ride on the propellers of the windmill that rose steadily. Thereafter the big arm rotated while the cabin arm also rotated. Then the cabin would spin due to centrifugal force. The three motions combined to give a graceful and wild 360 degrees dance of the windmill. It rolled, twisted, turned, and rocked freely amidst the blue sky and white clouds. It was truly thrilling!

“Dan this is too dangerous!” Sherry was also very nervous but Dan didn’t think so.

“Mommy, it’s fun!”

William thought and he also liked these thrilling and dangerous rides. He admired Dan and looked towards Sammy. He said carefully and softly, “Son, a boy must be brave. Dan dares to ride it, so why don’t you?”

Sammy swallowed some saliva, “Daddy, it’s too high!”

“Okay, go with auntie to ride the carousel. Daddy will ride the windmill with Dan, okay?” William said.

“Okay!” Sammy heard and grabbed onto Sherry, “Auntie, let’s go to the carousel, it’s very fun!”

“But…” Sherry looked at Dan with worry.

“Rest assured, this kid is like me and loves danger. Leave him with me!” William already brought Dan to buy the tickets.

“Mommy, relax, I’ll be fine!” Dan went happily with William.

“Auntie, let’s ride this!” Sammy took the tickets which William bought for them and pulled Sherry towards the entrance. William and Dan also disappeared towards the windmill ride.

“Sammy, come, sit down properly!” Sherry likes Sammy. He was a very shy kid. What a pitiful child. Sherry was wondering what happened to his mother to leave this child. Also, what happened to William to break off with this child’s mother.

Sammy rode happily on the wooden horses for the first time in his life. His dad had never brought him there. But this time he was very happy to have this auntie beside him and he smiled radiantly.

Sherry sat on the wooden horse and when the carousel began to turn, her gaze turned to the sky. She could see the cabins of the windmill spinning in the sky and heard loud screams of excitement. She was certain those screams included Dan and William’s.

When they came down from the ride, Dan’s face was red from the thrill, “Uncle, that was great!”

“Weren’t you frightened?” William’s face was slightly pale and thought that he must be old now and his heart couldn’t take the excitement. This kid was so brave and was unfazed and so happy with the ride.

“I’m not frightened! It’s very fun. It felt like flying. It’s so fun to fly!”

“Yes!” William nodded, “Okay! I’ll take you for this ride again the next time we come!”

“Let’s go and find mommy!” Dan pulled William towards the carousel just as Sherry and Sammy were walking out.

When they met up, Sherry realized that she was worried for nothing. Her child was alright and his cheeks were rosy from the excitement.

“Mommy, the next time you ride with me okay? Sammy, you too, it’s very fun. We actually flew up!”

“Oh my!” Sherry tapped on his nose, “Mommy was so frightened!”

“Mommy is so timid!” Dan stuck out his tongue, “Uncle and are the bravest. Mommy and Sammy are so timid!”

“What do you want to eat?” William said leisurely and looked at the two imps.

“Ice cream!” The two said at the same time. Both of the kids loved ice cream.

“Okay! Let’s have some!”

“Why are you so free today? Don’t you care about the company?” Sherry looked at him. He was still slightly pale but he was grinning and looked like his mood was rather good.

Today’s weather was great and she would have felt a lot better if not for what happened yesterday. But because of what happened, she was still worried about Dan and felt very burdened.

He turned to look at her, “I am free today. I’m sick and should have a rest!”

“Oh!” She frowned and thought that Liam should be even busier these few days!

“Buy the ice cream for yourselves!” William took out the money and gave it to Dan. Although Sammy was his son, he didn’t know why he felt that Dan was more of a leader than Sammy.

“Uncle!” Dan took over the money, smiled, and signaled to William.

“What” William lowered his head.

Dan whispered into his ear, “Uncle, I’ll take Sammy to eat the ice cream and give you an opportunity to be alone with my mommy. How will you repay me?”

“Oh! Rascal!” William was stunned and couldn’t help but grinned, “Go ahead! Don’t wander too far off!”

Sammy went with Dan and the two of them went on their way.

“What did Dan say to you?” Sherry asked curiously.

“Nothing!” He looked at Sherry and was momentarily conflicted but laughed gently. His laughter caused Sherry to blush and she turned away uneasily.

“Do you want a drink?” He took out a bottle of soda for her. She was indeed thirsty and replied, “Thanks.”

Just as she reached for the bottle, his warm and dry hand grabbed her hand. Sherry was startled and immediately released her hand and the bottle dropped. He caught the bottle in time as she looked up in shock. Their eyes immediately locked.

“Just now Dan said that he wants a daddy!” He said as he looked into her eyes.

Her mind went blank.

“Be my woman!” He continued.

“Release me!” She was startled, frightened, and nervous. It was like a drum beating in her heart. His large hands continued to grab her small hand.

Looking at her flustered expression, he said calmly, “Why are you so nervous? You’re already the mother of a child!”

“You…” Sherry was at a loss. He waited for her response. She held back for a while and then said, “You’re lying.” Dan will not say that!

William was stunned and then laughed, “I’m kidding you!”

She became flustered and was strangely disappointed. He released his hand and coughed. He hadn’t recovered from his cold. When the two kids ran back, his mood improved tremendously when he saw their happy faces.

“Have you taken your medicine?” Sherry said softly while she looked away. The autumn day was very pleasant and the weather was great without the heat of Summer.

“No, I forgot!” He didn’t bring his medicine. They were at her house. When he left in the morning, and she said that they should not contact each other anymore, how could he remember about his medicine in that situation?

“The medicine is in your house.” He said.

“Then you must not forget to take them afterward!” After she said, she realized that she was too concerned about him.

“Okay! You care so much about me? Do you allow me to go to your home?” He laughed and leaned towards her. He said softly, “Do you still regard that you don’t know me?”

She cleared her throat awkwardly and didn’t dare to look at him. She only could cover her nervousness by drinking the soda. But as soon as she took a skip, she choked, “Cough, cough…”

This made her want to find a hole to crawl into and she began to blush intensely.

“Why are you so careless!” William said and patted her back, “Look at you, you’re all grown up and still can’t drink properly!”

She panicked and pushed away his hand, “No need…”

His hand paused but rest on her back and smiled, “No worries…” When he saw her shyness, William smiled even more radiantly.

Suddenly she blushed even more and pushed him off while she trembled within her and quickly said, “I’m fine now. You can remove your hand.”

“I’ll pat you to ease your choking.” He laughed, I’m helping you and not trying to take advantage of you!”

“You…” She glared at him. Why was he so cold in the office but now he was so shameless? His tone was full of tease and mischief. He wasn’t the William that she knew, “No need, I’m fine now!” Sherry took a step backward to avoid him.

“Why are you standing so far away from me? I won’t devour you!” He laughed.

He became even happier due to her nervousness. This woman was so cautious of him. He wondered how would she react If she found out that he was the man behind the mask.

At this point, William suddenly felt that the joke he played on her was slightly too extreme. He shouldn’t appear with the mask five years later. It was all the haunting desires that he had. He only knew that he yearned for this woman!
