A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 153 Reflect on Their Action

Cohen heard Sherry's nagging from outside the door and felt bad for little Dan. Sammy was standing next to him and he was holding Sammy's hand, even though he didn't call for him. He needed to help Dan out, "Sherry, I did ask for Sammy!"

Dan turned his head and saw Cohen, he couldn't believe that Cohen lied on his behalf. He said honestly, "Mom, I lied! It's my fault!"

William felt bad looking at Dan lonely and dejected expression. He went up and hugged him, "Sherry, he's still young! We should forgive him as long as he learns from his mistake!"

"I don't need your sympathy!" Dan pushed William away. "I was at fault. I will go to my room and reflect on my actions!"

"Dan?" said Sammy, "I'll go with you!"

"What? I thought we were apprehending a pervert? I cannot do that alone!" Cohen tried to make up a story. "Dan, we have not accomplished our mission!"

"Mr. Sutton, they made a mistake and should reflect on their action. Don't help them! Dan, go to your room. Sammy, you cannot go with him. You didn't do anything! Dan, you did something wrong and hence you have to shoulder this yourself!" Sherry was strict about it.

Dan pouted and felt wronged. He bit on his lips and said stubbornly, "I'll go to my room if Mr. Rowland leaves! I don't want to see him bully you, mom!"

William was dumbfounded. He tried to help Dan, but Dan still wanted him to stay away from his mother. What a child!

Cohen laughed and exclaimed, "The boy is right! You should get going, William."

"I'll go to your room with you!" said William frustratedly. He carried Dan and said, "Dan, you have not forgiven me, do you?"

"Well, you didn't protect mom!" Dan was surprised that William was willing to get punished together with him, but it didn't mean that he forgave William. "Which is your room?" William looked at the long corridor. "Is it that one?"

Dan pouted and walked into the room around the corner. He stood next to a wall in the room and faced towards the wall. He didn't say anything else after that.

"Dan, why are you giving me the silent treatment?" William was puzzled. He stood right next to Dan. It was weird seeing two people with very different statures, standing side by side facing the wall.

Cohen rubbed his chin contently and held Sammy's hand. He yelled across the corridor, "You guys reflect on your actions! I'll go have breakfast with Sammy.

"I don't want you here with me!" Dan grumbled.

"Just take it as me trying to make it up to you." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I don't need that. I don't like you either way!" "Why?"

"I lost my sister because of you, I hate you!"

William was speechless.

Sherry saw them standing in the corner of the room, both facing the wall. They had similar postures even though they were so different in stature. William turned his head as he heard sounds, he saw Sherry and said, "Sherry!"

"Be quiet!" said Dan. He ordered William to shut up.

"Dan, I'm done making up to you. You can be alone now, I'll go accompany your mom!" said William as he pursed his lips. He was already walking away. Dan frowned, "Mom, don't be with him!"

He was small, but he was stubborn and sure of himself. He declared war against William and he had a serious and stern look on his face.

"Dan, come eat after 5 minutes!" said Sherry as she ignored William.

"Yes, mom!" The expression in his eyes then turned child-like and meek, "Mom..."

It was because he saw William grabbing his mother by the waist. Sherry pushed William's hand away, but William just moved his hand to another part of her body.

Dan was shocked. His eyes were filled with worries, "Mom, ground me later okay? I'll do this again later, okay?"

"Yes, you can do this later!" said Sherry. She glared at William and slapped his hand which was on her waist. She then held Dan's hand and walked downstairs with him.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you and Sammy tonight. We'll drive the pervert away!" said Dan very seriously. He turned his head and peered at William. He realized that William's face was twisted and he looked odd.

"Okay! You guys can accompany me tonight!" Sherry nodded.

Dan blinked his eyes and said, "Mr. Rowland, are you eating with us?"

Damn it! William rolled his eyes seeing the two slowly disappearing from his sight. He settled the issue with his father-in-law but couldn't handle this kid. Why was this kid such a smart ass? Why couldn't he act more like a kid?

He was drowned in self-pity. He got abandoned!

'Should we have more children in the future? These two are more than enough. Sherry might completely ignore me if we have another child!'

William felt conflicted!

Cohen noticed Sherry and Dan coming down the stairs. He said, "Come eat!"

"Morning Mr. Sutton!" Sherry was late with her greeting.

"Sherry, would you stop calling me like that?" Cohen's hand froze up as he was getting some soup. He glanced at William who was walking down the stairs. He made William try to convince Sherry last night, but it seemed like William was useless.

William shrugged. Sherry still needed some time and so Cohen couldn't do anything about it.

After the meal, the two children had to go to school. Cohen needed to go to the office but he wasn't so sure about leaving William here. He felt conflicted and was cheerless.

"Mr. Sutton, don't worry about me! Head on to work!" said Sherry.

"I know!" But Cohen was worried about William.

"I'll take care of Sherry, don't worry about it, father-in-law!" William volunteered.

"No need, he can go back. I want to be alone for a bit!" said Sherry.

"Alright, that's what my daughter said. Go back, William. Don't you need to go to work?" Cohen yelled.

"No need, I'll go after Sherry gets better!" said William as a matter of course.

Cohen was even more conflicted. Why did Sherry let William stay last night if she hated William? Did she really hate him? But why was she trying to make him go now? What was going on? He pondered briefly and said, "William, you heard the lady. I'll get rid of you myself if you're not going to leave! I'm heading to the office now!"

He decided to leave first.

William understood what Cohen was trying to tell him. He gently helped Sherry up and said, "My dear, should we watch some television today?"

He realized that he had never done anything together with Sherry before. He wanted to make it up to her.

"I don't want to!" Sherry helped Gracie with packing. She could finally go out in two days. She wanted to do so earlier, but Gracie didn't allow her to. Gracie told her that she had to rest properly after giving birth or else it would be bad for her health.

She then walked up the stairs.

Sherry asked abruptly as she walked up the stairs, "Is my bag at your place?"

The photo album that was filled with pictures of William and Lucille was still in her bag. She assumed that since William didn't bring her bag over, he probably didn't see what was in it.

"Yeah!" William nodded. "It's in the car, I'll go get it!"

He then went to get the bag.

Sherry's phone rang the moment she got to the second floor. It was Celia.

"Sherry, Sue had gone missing. Do you know where she is?"

"She said she was taking some days off. How come she went missing?" Sherry felt her heart thumped.

"I just wanted to see if you know anything about it. My brother is engaged with Ashley! Their engagement party will be held next week. Do you know where Sue is?" Celia didn't want to give up. To her, the only person who was suitable to marry her brother was Susan!

"Leon is getting engage with Ashley?" Sherry was shocked at the news. "Sue never contacted me. I'll call her right now, wait for a bit!"

Susan and Leon were a perfect match, so why did Leon get engaged with Ashley? What would happen to Sue? Sherry took out her phone and called Susan's number. But Susan's phone was turned off. She then called the company and they told her that Susan had resigned.

William got to the second floor and realized that Sherry's face was blanched. He quickly asked concernedly, "Sherry, what happened?"

Sherry ignored him and called Celia, "Celia, I couldn't find her. She resigned. She told me that she took some days off, but the company told me that she resigned. Do you know where she used to live?" William didn't know what happened, but he knew that something bad was going on seeing Sherry so nervous.

Sherry hung up the call listlessly and sat down on the sofa, “William, do you know where Susan lives?"

William was taken aback, but he quickly caught on, "Susan left her job?"

"Yes!" She nodded. "Leon is going to get engaged with Ashely. Susan turned off her phone and we don't know where she is! Can you try to contact her?"

"I can think of something!" William didn't know about the engagement. The issue seemed pretty serious, "I'll get Liam to help!"

William called Liam and Liam was surprised at the news as well.

The news made everyone worried. William hung up the call and hugged Sherry tightly, "Sherry, don't' worry. You have to focus on recovering, don't think about anything else!"

Sherry sighed, she was depressed, "They were a match made in heaven. Why couldn't they be together? They loved each other so much, but they couldn't be together. Such a tragedy!"

William suddenly remembered seeing Susan and Cohen in Japan together. He had a sudden realization and quickly called Alexis, "Alexis, help me look into Susan and find out what she was doing for the past 5 years, as soon as possible!"

Sherry glared at him, she didn't understand what William was doing, "Are you going to find her like that?"

"Yeah, it's possible. Sherry, I'm afraid that Sue and your father might have a past together!"

Sherry was shocked. She remembered Susan telling her the other day that she wasn't involved with Cohen in any way even though Sherry saw them kissed. Gosh, this was getting more and more complicated. She said worriedly, "William, what are you suspecting?"

"Sherry!" William looked at Sherry seriously and said after a long pause, "I suspect that father-in-law and Sue had an affair. This might be the reason why Sue refused to keep in touch with Leon for the past few years! They were going to get married and then Sue suddenly disappeared. And she came back after two years, working as a designer at AVL! Nobody knew where she was for the past two years, it was a mystery! And then we saw them kissing at the airport. They might really have something between them!"

"But what would happen to Leon if she was really in a relationship with Mr. Sutton?" asked Sherry.

"You should ask your father about it," William sighed.

"Well, yeah! If Sue really had an affair with my father, will Leon still be able to accept her? And what will happen to Ashley?" Sherry was utterly confused, this was getting way too complicated!
