When he passed by the revolving door, Keegan unexpectedly crashed into it. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Ugh!”

“Are you ok, Mr. Fox?” Sherry asked concernedly.

Keegan’s face reddened a little, he had just thought a little about his mind but he didn’t expect such situation to be occurred. When he had been staring at Sherry’s child and his godfather in front of him, he felt that the smile on his godfather’s face was so innocent and sincere that there was no deception. He suddenly thought that his godfather also craved for affection. It was a pity that he had always been alone!

“Ah, it is getting red and swollen!” Sherry exclaimed while holding a wet wipe in her hand. She then stood up on her tiptoe and covered his forehead with the wet wipe. “Mr. Fox, does it matter? You can use this as it has a swelling-reducing effect as the weather is getting colder.”

Keegan was stunned as he was startled by Sherry’s concerned face in front of him. Her small hand that covered his forehead made the place where he had been hit not painful anymore.

He was a little embarrassed as he felt that his face was burning hot and no one had ever cared for him like this, even when he was hurt badly! Apart from his godfather, she was the second person who cared for him.

She was the first woman who had ever cared for him!

His hand lifted up to catch the towel but he accidentally caught her hand, and both of them froze. Drawing her hand back, she then smiled, “It’s alright! Let’s get inside!”

“Hum! Hum!” Keegan responded repeatedly.

When Cohen turned around and saw the scene where Keegan and Sherry still dawdling behind, he raised the corner of his mouth. Keegan’s height of 1.9meters was very oppressive, yet when the two of them were walking together, it released a good matching which were one tall and one short, one strong and one weak! He was wondering if it was time to find a woman for Keegan who was his godson.

That man was almost thirty years old but he was still single, how could he manage all his needs? Cohen frowned while hugging Dan and walking towards the lift.

“Mr Sutton, you are so strong!” Dan giggled. “You have been hugging me for so long!”

“Hey boy, you are really heavy! Come and tell me, is your daddy William Rowland?” Cohen who was meddlesome pried for the information eagerly.

“No, it is not!” Dan said with some disappointment. “Mr Sutton, I do not belong to Mummy, I was picked by her! I am ignored and unwanted by others!”

Cohen was shocked and his eyes widened. “My good boy, lying will rot your tongue!”

“It’s true! Mummy has a child with Mr Rowland whose name is Samuel Rowland and he is mummy’s biological child. Mr Sutton, don’t tell mummy that I have told you this secret, I think you are a good person to tell, mummy hasn’t seen her son for a long time and she is sad now!”

Not her biological child? Cohen was stunned and looked back at Sherry who looked exactly the same as Dan, how could he be not her biological child?

Sherry wore a three-inch high-heeled shoe. She was not used to wearing high heels and she had been standing in front of Mr. Cohen for so long in order to get to know all the bosses in the mall with him but she didn’t expect to encounter John Rowland.

Sherry was stunned for a moment before she nodded slightly when she saw John who seemed very tired. Although he wore a neat suit, it was hard to hide the drastic change on his face.

Both Sherry and John greeted each other for a while before John’s eyes sharply swept over Sherry’s face. “Miss Murray, hope that you are well!”

“Mr. Rowland, how are you!” Sherry merely greeted him before she took the chance to leave.

She didn’t know how to face him and she didn’t want to face him as well! Originally she thought seeing anyone about the Rowland’s Group wouldn’t ache her heart but she was wrong.

She was not a saint but just an ordinary woman who lost her child and her lover, and yes, she didn’t know why God had to be so ironic that God had taken her lover away when she just knew she was in love with him.

Her foot hurt!

Keegan and Dan were chatting about something but Keegan’s eyes glanced towards Sherry from time to time. Upon seeing Sherry was following his godfather by his sides, he realized that the smile on her and Dan’s smile looked similar!

“Mr Fox, why are you asking me this? Why are you as meddlesome as Mr Sutton? I thought you are cold!” Dan didn’t understand that why did Mr Fox want to ask if his mummy was married?

Keegan froze and before he could reply, he saw Sherry walking away with her head down in chagrin and not paying any attention to whether there was anyone ahead of her. He immediately led Dan over.

Suddenly, a tall figure pressed down in front of her and a clear male voice rang out at the same time, “Miss Murray, don’t you even need to pay attention when you are walking?”

Sherry was forced to stop and raised her head.

The moment when she looked up, she saw Keegan, a tall man who was looking at herself while holding Dan in his hand.

“Mr. Fox!” Sherry greeted.

“Mummy, what if you fall down if you don’t pay any attention?” Dan walked over and held her with concern. “Are you tired? You can lean on me for a rest first!”

“Ugh! Mummy will only be older by the time when you are able to let mummy lean on you!” Sherry smiled while stroking his face. “Let’s go and sit over there for a while!”

“Be careful!” Keegan also walked over and naturally held her other arm.

Sherry froze and subconsciously looked at Keegan who gentlemanly held her towards the sofa in the corner.

She immediately thanked. “Thank you, Mr. Fox!”

“It is better to just call my name!” Keegan didn’t like to add a title after his surname. “And can I just call your name from now on?”

“Sure!”

Sherry didn’t know when Dan was with Keegan and he even let an indifferent uncle like Keegan to hold his hand, so it seemed that Keegan was not that really cold and indifferent!

“How? Is your foot painful?” Keegan’s gaze went all the way down and had a look on her feet.

In fact, he had been watching her who seemed tired all the way when she was greeting his godfather with a strange walking posture.

“Yeah, I don’t like wearing high heels, it is too tiring!” Sherry explained embarrassingly.

Dan went away to get an ice cream and then got one for Sherry.

“Mummy, That Cold Man has helped me to get the ice cream and he said it is enjoyable to eat the ice cream in the winter!”

“Cold Man?” Sherry didn’t understand.

“Oh, it is Mr Fox, he doesn’t smile so I call him Cold Man!” Finishing his words, Dan then looked at Keegan. “Mr Fox, you won’t get angry, right?”

“Don’t give Mr Fox a nickname!” Sherry scolded.

“It is ok, he can call in the way if he likes!” Although Keegan showed a cold face, his tone was not cold and stiff.

Just now he had roughly understood that this child didn’t have a father and Sherry was a single mother who raised her child by herself and she could even educate Dan so well. It was really not easy for her and moreover, her work was excellent.

Meanwhile, Cohen suddenly signaled Sherry to go over and she immediately got herself up. “Sorry, I have to go first, Dan, don’t walk around! Mummy will come back and look for you!”

“Got it!” Dan sat on the sofa and started eating ice cream.

Observing that Keegan ’s eyes kept following Sherry’s back, Dan said directly, “Mr Fox, mummy has Mr Rowland and it is impossible for you to woo her!”

“Mr Rowland?” Keegan didn’t understand.

“It is the man who woos mummy!” In Dan’s eyes, his mummy was a beautiful woman that any man who came near his mummy might have the intention to woo her.

Keegan’s face turned colder and indifferent again.

Sherry saw that Cohen was still talking to John and she actually really didn’t want to go over there as she didn’t know how to face John!

When she saw John, she would think of William and Sammy. At this moment, Sherry’s eyes were deeply entwined with pain and mourning. Her heart ached and her eyes filled with tears, she had made others accomplish their aims but to grieve herself.

It was no longer relevant now! Sherry, you have to be strong, the sky had not fallen down and it was still there, you could do it!

Taking a deep breath, when Sherry had just moved her steps, a waiter suddenly came over with a tray of wine. Perhaps she was too tired and she accidentally broke her foot and immediately she felt a large piece of coldness seeping into her clothes, followed by a clattering sound, the glass was broken and the wine was spilled onto her gown.

She froze as she looked at her gown turning red.

“I’m sorry, Miss!” The waiter apologized in horror.

“Oh, it’s ok!” Looking at her dress, she felt that she was so stupid that she couldn’t even wear the high heels well and for some reason, there were tears inside her eyes.

The waiter became nervous. “Miss, I don’t mean it, don’t cry please!”

“What happened?” A low man’s voice rang out and this made the waiter nervous and scared as Keegan was staring at him with his cold expression and sharp eyes.

Looking nervously at the woman crying in front of him, the waiter was panicked for a moment as he thought the man in front of him was going to beat himself up due to the red wine stain on her gown.

“Hmm… Miss…Does it matter?” He asked in front of her.

“It’s fine!” Sherry shook her head. “You can go ahead!”

Cohen and John who discovered the situation walked over, John frowned and when Sherry looked up, she couldn’t control herself to shed her tears as her blurred vision made her see a face that looked like William.

“Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom!” Sherry turned around and left quickly.

Keegan who saw her tears in her eyes instantly followed after her.

“What a coincidence, something went wrong with my assistant, Mr. Rowland.” Cohen smiled and said, “What do you want to talk to her about? I wonder if I can do it for her?”

“Mr. Cohen, forget about it! Let’s do it another day!” John said.

“Huh? You are here too, serious Old Master Rowland?” Dan ran over with an ice cream in his hand and he frowned when he saw two men standing together. “It’s so strange to see you two standing together, one smiles like a fox and the other like a tiger!”

Cohen and John were stunned at the same time when this child spoke.

“Hahahaha…” Cohen laughed out loud and not angry at all. “Good boy, are you complimenting me like a smiling fox?”

“Mr Sutton, when you smile and your eyes squint, you just look like a fox!”

“Haha, Mr. Rowland, in this case, you are the majestic tiger!” Cohen teased.

John’s expression turned cold, was he that serious? This child really knew how to make nonsense by comparing him to a tiger, but he was not angry at all, instead he had some urge to laugh.

“Serious Mr. Rowland, do you lock William up? Why didn’t he show up?” Dan asked.
