A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 137 Just Like Father

“So, you admit that Sherry is my daughter?”

“No, no!” She shouted anxiously. “I don't know her!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“That confirms it! How have you been these years?” Cohen Sutton lowered his voice. “I didn't expect you to marry Payne Jones, but he is quite a great catch, since he can provide you with a comfortable life!”

His tone carried a complex emotion, as if it was mixed with a hint of sarcasm. “I've got the answer I wanted, so thank you again, for helping me give birth to Sherry! Take care of yourself, Mrs. Jones, I won't disturb your life anymore! Goodbye!”

Sierra froze, and only reacted when the door of the ward had been closed. She hurriedly chased after him, trying to stop him from disturbing Sherry. However, when she opened the door, Cohen was nowhere to be seen.

She stood by the door dumbfounded, her heart was already in turmoil. She muttered, “Why did you come back? Why?”

Sherry saw Cohen early in the morning. Although she only did not see him for a day, Cohen looked a lot older than before. He looked a bit strange, but she was unable to state what was strange about him.

“Sherry, come to my office for a moment!” As soon as he came to the company, Cohen said this to Sherry.

She entered his office.

“President, what can I do for you?”

Cohen raised his head from behind his desk, his gaze towards her was kind and gentle. “Sherry, there’s actually nothing much. I just realized that I have gotten old, and I just want to chat with someone!"

“You are not old at all!” Sherry laughed. “President is considered still in your prime, how can you be considered old?”

“Sherry, does your boyfriend treat you well?” Cohen suddenly opened his mouth and asked. “Uh! It seems a bit presumptuous for me to ask this, but you can take me as just an elder caring for his juniors! You're such a kind and lovely girl, I just hope you're happy and joyful!”

Sherry froze and smiled calmly. “Ok! Actually, he's really quite nice to me!”

If he really hadn't slept all night last night and smoked three boxes of cigarettes in front of her house, she thought, William actually treated her quite well.

It's just that they still needed more time and experience to strengthen their bond, and as for their future, she really did not know what will happen.

“You looked quite confused,” Cohen saw a flash of bitterness from Sherry’s eyes, “Did something happened?”

Sherry suddenly remembered about Susan, Susan seemed to be in love with Leon, but Susan seemed to be in a relationship with Cohen. She was a little confused. She wanted to speak up, but decided against it as she had no idea how to ask him about it.

Other than that, how could the president know Sierra, and it was obvious that Sierra fainted as soon as she saw Cohen. She had the impression that Sierra was someone who would not shed tears easily, let alone faint.

“What do you want to say?” Cohen could see that she wanted to talk but she stopped herself.

Sherry looked at Cohen concerned expression, “President, how did you and Sierra get to know each other?”

Cohen’s hand shook as he clasped his hand together. “Sherry, why don’t you acknowledge her as your mother?”

Sherry bit her lips as she was asked about it, “It's she who disowned me!”

She felt bitter when she said that out loud. This was because the year when her father died, Sierra suddenly abandoned both she and her little brother. She then married into the Jones family and no longer cared about them. She once cried and begged Sierra to give her some money to cure Luke’s illness. However, Sierra only gave her thirty thousand yuan. She had no choice but to sell their old house but was still unable to pay for Luke’s medical fees. When she went to beg Sierra again, she said never find her again, she could not help them!

A woman who did not even care about her own son and daughter, it was better off not acknowledging this kind of mother!

“She disowned you?” Cohen frowned. “Is she really that kind of person?”

“My mother died a long time ago; she was already dead eight years ago!” Sherry said bitterly, “I can only act like she's dead!”

“How have you been living all these years?” Cohen’s hand trembled even more, seeing Sherry’s attitude towards Sierra, his felt a throbbing pain in his heart, “Are you happy?”

Sherry was slightly surprised, because Cohen seemed to be picking his words very carefully. She felt a little confused, why did the president look at her in such a strange way. He was like looking at a stray

kitten, his eyes full of pity.

“President, don't look at me with such a pitying gaze, actually I think I'm very lucky! I am not a street urchin, and I have a father and a brother who love me. Although my brother died because of congenital heart disease, we had depended on each other for years. I already think that my life is quite enriching as I have people who love me as I love them!”

Cohen felt his heart cracked. “You are really an optimistic child!”

“President, you sound just like my father!” Sherry smiled as she gazed away from him. She really missed her father, hopefully he is happy living at heaven! “But my father has passed away for many years!”

Cohen nervously stood up all of a sudden, his emotions were getting unstable. “Sherry, I am actually...”

He wanted to say he was really her father! However, he could not get the words out of his mouth!

At the end, Cohen still did not say anything. He just told Sherry that he would invite her and Daniel to his home during the weekend, and Sherry also accepted his invite.

When her shift ended, Sherry walked out of the office.

At the same moment, she saw Keegan. He looked at her from afar but he did stop to say hello. He then pretended to not see her and went into the elevator.

“Kee...” Sherry froze, not knowing what was wrong with Keegan. Her smile remained on her face as she looked in the direction of the elevator suspiciously.

What's wrong with Keegan? He did not even come to say hello?

Sherry was dumbfounded for a brief moment.

By the time she got out of the building, she heard her colleagues clamoring from afar, “Wow! What a handsome man!”

"The president of the Rowland Group! He’s the president of Rowland Group!”

“Are these flowers for Sherry?”

Sherry took a few quick steps, looked up and saw William’s tall figure bathed in the glow of the setting sun, holding a bouquet of flowers in both hands, standing not far from the door of the building while wearing a suit.

Sherry was in shock, he was actually standing at the ground floor of her company with flowers in his hands, what was he going to do?

She raised her eyes to look at him, he was smiling at her. Perhaps because his face was facing the light, she could not see his expression, her heart also started to beat faster. She was stunned and looked away in a panic, and found Keegan’s car speeding away from the company's parking lot like an arrow.

Sherry’s hand tightened, and walked towards him step by step.

Behind her were her colleagues who had been stunned by William!

William was smiling while holding flowers in his hand. His eyes fell on her, gazing fondly.

As Sherry was a meter away from him, she stopped in her tracks. When their eyes finally met, her smile was coy and shy as she was getting slightly nervous.

She was just about to open her mouth when William said in a deep voice, “My wife, can you marry me.”

Sherry was stunned!

Then, as she was dumbfounded, William knelt down on one knee while ignoring everyone's gaze. He gazed at Sherry with affection, and said another sentence. “My wife, please marry me! I promise that from now on, I will do my best to protect you, love you and make you happy from now on! Thank you for smiling no matter what happened and not blaming me. It was I who was too careless and didn't think of your feelings! From now on, I promise that nothing will be more important to me then you, your feelings are my top priority and I will never hurt you ever again!”

“Wow! What a touching scene!” Someone in the background shouted.

Sherry only felt her heart finally aching vaguely, one after another, painfully.

Without waiting for her answer, William continued kneeling on one knee, his eyes locked on her eyebrows. “My wife, please forgive me! And, please marry me!”

“Miss Sherry, quickly accept the flowers!” Seeing that she had remained shock, someone finally shouted.

Sherry’s face immediately reddened and whispered, “William, get up quickly!”

“You must promise me first!” He blinked his pitch-black eyes.

She quickly took the flowers and reached out to pull him, why did he have to do something so humiliating. Instead of crying with joy, she felt very embarrassed. “William, you better quickly get up, if you don’t get up, I will not care about you anymore!”

William stood up after he saw she took the flowers.

Sherry walked out while carrying the flowers in her hand. She felt very embarrassed. She never thought that William will do this, was he mentally ill?

However, in her heart, she felt very happy. So, he actually thought of such a move after not sleeping for the entire night, what a surprise.

Sherry walked out with big steps while holding the flowers in her hand. The smell of the flower was really quite fragrant, she could not help but smile. However, she quickly acted as if nothing happened.

“My wife, please wait for me, my car is parked here!” William saw that she was about to walk past the car, but had no intention to get into the car. Thus, he immediately ran over to pull her with one hand, while opening the door with the other. He then stuffed Sherry into the car.

He also got into the car and finally away from the sight of the colleagues from the company.

In the car, Sherry was quietly holding flowers in her hands, but she did not speak. Her eyes were also not focus on William, but was focus on the street scene in front of her.

While William was driving the car and saw that she did not say a word, he could not help but look at her. Her eyes were like glass, reflecting the scenery outside.

“My wife!” He suddenly shouted.

She still remained silent.

He pulled the car over to the side of the road in annoyance.

She took a deep breath and looked sideways suspiciously.

However, he held the back of her head, bent slightly, came over and leaned down to perch on her. His warm tongue burrowed into her mouth, kissing her deeply. He then hooked her tongue and stirred it in a tangle. In the afterglow of the sunset, his handsome face looked a little hazy, and she was already completely unresponsive.

The flowers in her hand were taken to the back of the car by him at some point. However, his lips never left hers. Finally, she could not help but close her eyes.

“Let's get married, the wedding will happen next week!” His starry eyes shone brightly as he gazed at her while talking in a deep voice.

What? What did he say? Was he in such a hurry to marry her? She had doubts that he had not thought this through!

Her white stunned little face looked extraordinarily lovely. Her two slightly open lips, the pink lips that had just been kissed by him, looked so tempting that they seemed to be waiting for him to kiss her again. He slightly raised up a smile, while looking at her with a torch-like gaze.

Sherry was still dumbfounded, unable to respond for a long time.

“My wife! I said let's get married!” She finally reacted only after he shouted again in his deep voice.

As she slowly regained consciousness, his handsome face looked so evil in front of her eyes. Sherry seemed to suddenly think of something as she subconsciously frowned, and then bit her lips. Such a subtle action was captured by him.

He began to be nervous, whenever she was like this, it meant that he might be rejected, and his heart panicked all of a sudden. “My Wife, don't refuse me!”

“I don't want to marry you!” Her trembling voice spoke out almost simultaneously with his.

“Why?” His eyebrows raised, his eyes narrowed, and there was some displeasure that could be heard in his tone, “Sherry, are you still blaming me?!”

“I miss Sammy, I'm going to pick him up!” She changed the topic while her small hands twisted together.
