A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 44: Anywhere, Anytime

“I am not afraid!" Sherry suddenly felt a little awkward, and didn't know what to do.

"Tomorrow forenoon 11am, I'll see you here!” He didn't intend to let her go, instead, he was feeling even more joyful, his eyes

still fixed on her face.

Sherry felt very uncomfortable under his stare, she answered his question quickly, “Alright”

She accepted the offer very forcefully, which caused William to knit his brows again.

*Mr. Rowland, goodbye!" Sherry didn't wait for his answer before she left the road.

William took a look around the district she was living in, it was an old district, and looked pretty aged, he wondered how she had spend all these years? Why was she still worried about finances even though she had money now?

Samuel was leaning on the car window, and watched Sherry leave, even when she was out of sight, he kept staring into her direction.

William opened the car door, and saw how his son was watching Sherry leave with a sad expression, he then couldn't blame him for running away anymore.

"Daddy, Sherry is so pretty!" Samuel said in a low voice, if his Mommy was so pretty and kind, how nice that would be!

"Yeah!" William was feeling a little annoyed, he helped Samuel to put on his seat belt, "Sit tight, let's go home!”

“Will Grandpa be mad?" Samuel asked quietly.

“Of course!" William said.

“Are you mad?"

“"Nopet"

“I'm sorry!”

"There will be no next time!" William started the car, and rubbed Samuel's head, "Do you like Sherry?”

“I do!" Samuel answered honestly.

"Daddy, was Mommy also this pretty?” Samuel asked.

“Kinda!” William was feeling even more annoyed now.

"Daddy, why did Mom leave us? Was I not a good kid?" When Samuel mentioned that, his eyes lost their glow.

It suddenly went quiet in the car.

Samuel, who was very sensitive, suddenly realized that he asked too many questions, his father didn't like it when people

asked about his mother, "Dad, sorry!”

William felt his heart aching, and shook his head, "You really want to have a mother, don't you?"

"Yeah!" He nodded his head, and said in a low voice, “But will you be mad? If you will be sad, then I don't want a mom

anymore, Sherry has already promised me that I can go to her house to play! If I can see her often and eat her food, then I don't need a mom...”

"She cooked for you?” William raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yeah, she cooks different than what we eat at home, it's really delicious, it tastes like home!” Samuel said in a low voice, "It's even better than what Grandpa's chef cooks!”

“Oh, really?” William was suddenly a little jealous of his kid, “Then I will take you to Sherry's to have your meals in the future!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!" William suddenly saw the three of them sitting around the table like a family, that is what he dreamed of, but it has

never come true!

"Does Mrs. Howe's food not taste good?” William asked.

Samuel thought for a while, and shook his head, "No, Dad, Mrs. Howe's food doesn't taste like motherhood, but Sherry's does!"

Even Samuel didn't really understand why, but he really liked Sherry!

But William was shocked by Samuel's words, taste of motherhood! This was really meant to be!

That night, Sherry couldn't sleep, she was thinking about the lunch she will have to have with Mr. Rowland.

When it was 10am the next day, Sherry started to feel anxious, her hands were sweating, and she looked nervous, even

Sherry herself had no idea what she was $0 nervous about.

At 11am, Mr. Rowland will come!

Early in the morning, Sherry brought Daniel to the kindergarten, after she came back home, she was sighing all morning.

She thought about the times that he forced a kiss on her without any reason at all, it was all so sudden to her, and she had meant to ask him what this was for.

What kind of relationship did they have?

Yeah, what was this relationship?

Whenever she remembered him kissing her, she felt herself burn up.

Suddenly her phone rang.

Sherry was startled by the ring, her heart was racing.

She looked at her phone, it was the number she dialed yesterday, which she afterwards saved as “Mr. Rowland".

“Hello?” She answered the phone and held her breath.

"I'll be there in 10 minutes!” She heard his deep voice from the other end of the line, it hit her heart and made it race even

faster.

"Didn't you say 11am?" She asked, why was he so early?

"We will go to the doctor first. Wait for me!" Then he hung up the phone.

Sherry looked at her dressing, and suddenly had no idea what she should wear, this felt like a date! Wow, suddenly her face blushed, and she felt herself burn up.

She quickly changed her clothes, because of the injury on her shoulder, she could only wear casual things.

When Sherry arrived at the road, she saw William leaning on his Bugatti, wearing a white shirt, and black suit pants which made him look even taller. The way he was leaning on his car looked very natural and unrestrained.

His black hair was so thick, and his dark eyes were glowing with life. He looked down, because Sherry hadn't arrive yet, so he took out a cigarette to light.

He didn't like it to wait for women, it has always been the other way around. This time, it was an exception.

Sherry looked at him from afar, and took a deep breath before she started walking towards him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Mr. Rowland!" Sherry stood in front of him and greeted.

William raised his head, and looked at her, he saw what she was wearing, and suddenly felt surprised. She didn't dress up at all and didn't put on any make-up.

Sherry changed into something casual, and left her hair open, this way, she looked like a little girl from the neighborhood, very simple and pure.

This was not at all the type of woman William liked, because they were too pure. But when he saw her walking towards him, he suddenly felt very comfortable, very calm, a kind of feeling he haven't had in a long time, so long, that he was even disappointed in women.

"Get in!" William gathered his emotions, and opened the door for her like a gentleman.

Sherry thought that this was the first time Mr. Rowland opened the door for her, usually he just shoved her into the car, like he was treating her as a thing. She felt a little weird about his gentle gesture.

William closed the door and waked over to the driver's side, opened his door and got in.

She could smell the smoke coming from him, which made Sherry pause, she just sat next to him, and when she saw him turn to look at her, she felt nervous, her eyes met with the deep dark ones of William.

The sun was shining through the window at his face, and lit up his cynical look of a playboy. His deep eyes were blur, and he smiled at her with banter, “You don't look so good, you were so nervous that you didn't sleep well, huh?”

"What?" Sherry didn't expect him to ask her such a question, it was true that she hadn't slept the whole night, but how did he know? She felt exposed, and her face blushed.

While Sherry was still in her awkward phase, William suddenly felt very joyful, “Are you excited because you will have lunch with me?"

"Bah!" His jokes made her want to hide herself in a hole.

He had never made such a joke before, it had more like a ambiguous tone in it, and she should have denied it, but for some reason, she said, "Yeah, I had insomnia because of you!"

William was surprised, and the smile on his face widened, Sherry could even hear his deep giggling, this was the first time, that he had heard him laugh like a big boy, there was no sarcasm or coldness in his laughter, only honest and simple joy.

"Mr. Rowland!" Sherry couldn't sit still anymore. Was that really so funny?

"Why?" William finally controlled himself, and stopped laughing, his hands were on the steering wheel, but he did not start the engine yet. Instead, he was looking at her, his joyful eyes were resting on Sherry.

Sherry blushed, she felt very uncomfortable the way he was staring at her, and quickly thought about this question, "Because I didn't know what you want from me? I am worried that you will ask me to pay the compensation of 30 Million, I will never be able to pay all of that!”

He didn't expect her answer to be that, and paused for a while, then he started to laugh loudly, "Hahahaha, so anytime and anywhere I call you up in the future, you gotta be there right away!"

“lam not a call girl!” Sherry pursed her lips, and said.

"What?" William heard her, and his expression changed.

When Sherry raised her head to look at him, he was staring at her, so she quickly lowered her head, "Please give me a break!"

"30 Million!” He laughed with a warning tome, and leaned towards her.

"What are you doing?" Sherry was nervous, and closed her eyes in shock.

William saw how nervous she looked, and started to giggle again.

"Still scared of me?" He opened his mouth, his eyes showed deep thoughts, and looked at her with a playful manner. In that moment, she was a good, gentle girl, but the way she sometimes exploded, looked like a little hedgehog.

His breath brushed on her face, Sherry's face felt hot, "I am! Please don't be so close to me!"

She felt that she hadn't breathed in half a minute, almost suffocating.

KEK

William suddenly smiled, both his eyes were filled with victorious colors, he shrugged his shoulders, his cold face expression softened, and was charming enough to attract anyone present, “Alright, I will help you fasten your belt, then I will back away”

As he said so, he helped her pull the seating belt over, and fastened it, then, he sat back on his own seat.

Then, he giggled again, "Sherry, why are you afraid of me?"

Sherry opened her eyes, but she felt even more suffocating, she, did she misunderstand something?

"Mr. Rowland, you did it on purpose!” She was even surprised that she said that sentence, and wanted to bite off her own tongue, she smiled flattery, she looked at William's handsome face, and swallowed, then she quickly said, "Mr. Rowland, there is no need to make any trouble, it's too troublesome to go for lunch, I think I should go home!”

"If you think it's troublesome to eat out, what do you say I come to your house for lunch? Then you won't think it's too troublesome, you only need to make one more portion, which won't be too tiring either”

He endured the urge to laugh again, and said in all seriousness, he still remembered Samuel praising her cocking to be so good, even better than the one of their chefs, so he wanted to have a taste.

"Why don't we just eat out!” She wouldn't allow him to enter her house. This man was too smart, if she got too close to him, she wouldn't even know how she died.

William didn't deny her, raised his brows, and started the engine, then he looked at Sherry in thoughts, “I guess you just don't want to spend time with me, but you have successfully interest me by that!”
