A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 113 His Heart Actually Skipped a Beat

"Huh?" John frowned, "What's so pitiable about it?"

"Mr. Rowland, nobody can stand your weird temperament," said Dan while pouting, he wasn't afraid to state facts. But then he quickly amended himself seeing that John was getting angry, "See? You don't accept criticism from anyone. My teacher told me that a good kid should admit their mistakes and learn from them!"

"What?" How dare he treated him like a child?

"Mr. Rowland, you haven't told me if you changed your mind yet," Dan slipped off the sofa and walked to John. He stood straight right in front of him.

John glared at him at stared right into Dan's eyes, he was a bit startled, "Why are you standing so close to me? Aren't you worry that I'll get angry?"

"I don't have a great temper either! If you want to get angry over nothing I'll happily wait until you calm down, I promise. But listen to what I have to say after that, how does it sound?" Dan was trying to discuss the issue with John, he wasn't afraid of John.

John couldn't get angry anymore, not after hearing what Dan said.

Mrs. Howe and the other servants were shocked. They stared at the child standing beside the Mr. Rowland. It had been a long time since they saw someone standing so close to their Mr. Rowland. This child was really gutsy, even gutsier than Sammy.

"Mr. Rowland, don't you lie to me!" said Dan as he smiled brightly. "You're going to let my mom marry Mr. Rowland, right?"

John was taken aback and was flabbergasted. Was this child really only 5 years old? "I didn't say that I'll let them marry each other."

"But Mr. Rowland, you were looking at the wedding suit when we passed by the wedding shop just now. Why are you staring at the suit, if you're not letting Mr. Rowland get married? Also, if it wasn't the case, why did you call me here? And also, your nose will get longer if you lie so much, Mr. Rowland! That's what my mom's boss told me today!" Dan was patiently explaining to John, "Mr. Rowland, so you're going to let my mom marry Mr. Rowland, right?"

John grimaced, "Was I that obvious?"

"Yes, you were!" replied Dan as he smiled brightly.

At this moment, the child looked like a cunning little fox to John. He was probably on par with the sly old fox Cohen.

"Your mom must be happy that I finally acknowledge her. You will be coming to stay here with her!"

"Mr. Rowland, I think my mom has not seen Mr. Rowland for a long time now. Don't you think that's weird?"

"Really?" John frowned.

"You didn't even notice that? You're not very observant, Mr. Rowland! I'm going to go tell Sammy about it upstairs, he'll be elated at the news!" Dan wanted to share this good news with Sammy, but at the same time, he was a bit worried.

"Mr. Rowland, you won't bully my mom, right?" Dan turned around halfway up the stairs.

"With a son like you, I wouldn't dare," answered John as he stood up. He felt a bit embarrassed, was he really afraid of Dan?

Dan was having fun with Sammy in Sammy's room.

"Danny, is mommy and daddy really going to get married? Did Mr. Rowland agree?" Sammy couldn't believe his ears, but he didn't want to end up disappointed! "Really, he agreed. Though I don't know why!"

"I thought mom doesn't want me anymore!" said Sammy dejectedly. "Mr. Rowland didn't let me see her. Dan, is mom doing okay?"

"No!" said Dan. "Have you seen your dad?"

"Nope, I have not seen him in a while!"

"Why?" Dan was puzzled. His mother wasn't really happy recently. Celia sighed every time she saw his mother. He really didn't know what happened.

But something had to happen between his mother and Mr. Rowland!

"Sammy, not good!" yelled Dan all of a sudden.

"Huh? What?" Sammy didn't understand.

At MH residence.

Darcy sat on the sofa and stared quietly at Liam who was sitting opposite of her.

"Hey, what are you staring for?" Liam felt an uncomfortable shiver down his spine.

"Liam, you've been hiding from me for a long time now!" Darcy squinted her pretty eyes. She then smirked, "Are you afraid of me?"

Liam frowned and gulped, "Why should I be? We are friends! Nobody is afraid of their friends."

"You are afraid of being alone with me!" Darcy snickered. She stood up and wore a cold expression on her perfect-looking face. She then walked towards Liam.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Liam was actually afraid of her.

Darcy was cold to everyone but him. He was hiding from her because he had no other choice!

"I'm going to check up on Lucille to see if she's asleep!" Liam stood up abruptly as she walked close to him.

Darcy grabbed his tie and Liam couldn't move anymore.

"Hey! Darcy you'll suffocate me! Don't be so violent!"

Darcy then pushed Liam down. He sat down on the sofa and his eyes were wide open, "Darcy what are you doing?"

Darcy took two steps forward and sat down on his thighs. She put her arms around his neck and said while maintaining a cold expression, "Liam, I wouldn't be interested in you if you didn't hide away from me. You caught my interest because you keep running away from me!"

"Darcy don't be like this!" Liam chortled, "Get off me!"

But Darcy inched even closer and then she pressed her red lips on his face.

"Ah, Darcy!" Liam screamed.

Darcy had a playful look on her face, but at the same time, she was also staring meaningfully at Liam. She let him go after a kiss and stared at the lipstick stain on his face contently. She squinted her eyes and said, "William went out to see another woman, no?"

"How could that possibly be? I made him go home and rest! He had been taking care of Lucy for so long and needed some rest!" Liam felt awkward and tried to shove her away.

He shouldn't have let Will go if he knew that being alone with Darcy would be so terrifying. He even almost lost his chastity! But luckily, he had a trump card.

The doorbell rang just in time.

Darcy frowned, she didn't know who was coming!

Liam quickly stood up and said, "I'll go get the door!"

Someone yelled happily as the door opened, "Brother!"

The cute little Sara appeared in front of the door. Though, her bright eyes dimmed when she saw the kiss mark on Liam's face.

"Who is it?" Darcy walked over and saw that it was Sarah. She snickered, turned around and walked away without saying a thing. She then went into the other room.

"Sara, why were you late?" Liam complained. He didn't know that there was a kiss mark on his face.

Sarah looked at the kiss mark on Liam's face with a weird expression on her face. She then walked into the house dejectedly.

Even though she was dejected, her eyes were still bright and lively. She pouted and glanced at the room that Darcy walked into. She glared hard in that direction as if she wanted to tear Darcy into pieces. "Sara, what's wrong?" Liam smiled brightly. He still didn't notice the kiss mark on his face.

"Brother, come over!" Sarah glanced at Liam. She yanked his hand and walked towards the bathroom with him. They went into the bathroom and she pointed to his face, "Brother, look!"

"What?" Liam frowned and looked at the mirror. He saw his reflection and his face flushed. "Erm! This is from Darcy, she did it on her own accord!" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He quickly ran the tap and washed away the lipstick stain on his face. He washed it thoroughly, even using some soap.

Sarah stared at Liam and her gloominess disappeared. She felt calmer knowing that Liam didn't like Darcy. She felt much better.

Liam washed away the soap on his face. Sarah smiled and stared happily at him.

Liam's face turned redder seeing her smile, he tried to explain himself, "Darcy was just fooling around..."

"Brother!" Sarah interrupted him. She smiled and said, "Don't worry brother, I know that she was the one seducing you. She had been after you for a long time now!"

"Huh?" Liam ruffled Sarah's hair gently and sighed, "You know everything! Hush, don't be so loud. Don't let her hear you!"

"Of course, I know about it. Those women always bother you, and she's one of them. Brother, do you really not like her?"

She put on her typical obedient child act, but she was smiling blithely. Liam would've fallen in love with Darcy long ago if he really liked her. But he called Sarah over and asked her to accompany him. Obviously, it was because Liam didn't want to be alone with Darcy.

"Good girl." Liam ruffled her hair and looked at her lovingly, enjoying her merry expression. “Okay, let's go out!”

"Liam!" Sarah suddenly yelled.

"What?"

Sara stood tippy-toed and swiftly snuck a kiss on Liam's face. She pressed her lips on where Darcy left her lipstick stain just now. She kissed his cheek forcefully as if she wanted to overwrite Darcy's kiss. Her soft lips made Liam felt like he got electrocuted, he was stunned, "You..."

It felt good, but he was her brother! What was this feeling?

"Liam, I am 23 years old now." Sarah reminded Liam as she stared at his shocked expression. She wasn't the 17 years old girl from back then anymore.

"But you are my sister!" muttered Liam.

"We are not related by blood!" said Sara softly. She reached out her hand and pulled Liam close to her. She then bit him aggressively on his thin lips. Only after that, she said joyfully, "I like you and I don't care. I like you ever since before. It's okay if you don't like me back as long as you continue to let me like you!"

"Dummy," said Liam as he stared at Sarah's pleased face. He touched his lips and it hurt a bit. She bit down real hard. Though, he felt that his heart skipped a beat...

"Brother, it's a bit swollen." Sarah felt a flash of schadenfreude looking at Liam's slightly swollen lips. She didn't have to be afraid of people staring at his handsome face anymore, especially Darcy who was in the other room!

Liam licked his lips. What happened just now was blissful and nostalgic at the same time. It was as if something similar happened before back then in the night... That sweet sensation...

Liam stared at Sara and felt puzzled, he thought hard trying to piece his memories together, "Sara, you..."

He wanted to ask her if she kissed him before, but the question didn't seem right. He shouldn't say anything. But what was this familiar feeling? So familiar that it tugged his heartstrings. "Do you like my kisses?" said Sara as she smirked eerily at Liam. "Brother?"

Though, her heart starting to beat faster. She fought hard for it at home and finally mustered her courage to kiss him. She wanted to have Liam to her own, otherwise, she would regret it for the rest of her life! She then inched closer, raised her head and looked at him. Their eyes met and Liam was shocked upon seeing his expression in the reflection in her eyes.00000
