A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 73 A Trip For Four

"Ocean, you are just like me, you were abandoned by your parents, right?" Daniel said to the puppet dolphin.

Ocean is the name Daniel gave his dolphin, "You were also abandoned by your mom and dad, they don't like you, it's because you weren't a good kid, right?"

Sherry's heart trembled abruptly when she heard what her son said, so, what happened yesterday really caused a shadow on him?

William watched Daniel with his dark and deep eyes, his lips twitched, and sighed, then he felt stuffy, and his throat was itching him.

"Ocean, you have it worse than me, I still have my Sherry Mommy, she loves me dearly, I only have her, I don't need my own dad or mom, I only want Sherry Mommy. Ocean, you are all alone, I am sorry about that, why don't I be your dad?"

Sherry's heart ached horribly, her eyes were filled with tears, she almost sobbed.

William wrapped his arm around her shoulder to support her.

"Ocean, I will be your dad, you won't need anyone else, I have Sherry, and you have me, we are all children with a family now, right?"

Sherry could not control herself anymore and ran towards Daniel,"Dan !"

Daniel slowly raised his head, and saw Sherry, he looked as if he was doubting her being there, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Sherry was always busy, she never visited him at the kindergarten during lunch break, why was she here that day? He looked up, and saw William coming to him, then he greeted, "Uncle!"

"Son!" Sherry picked him up and held him in her arms, "You will never be abandoned, I will always be there for you, silly boy, you are my child, why do you not believe me!"

"But... you will want your own children, then when I will have little brothers and sisters... "He once saw William holding Sherry, he thought, maybe Sherry would get married one day. Sherry's heart trembled again, when she will have her own children! Yeah! She did have her own child, but she will never leave Daniel. "Even if I have my own, there is only one Daniel! Nobody will be able to take your place!"

Daniel looked down, as if he was thinking about something, then, Sherry heard him saying, "Mom, I know now, I am the only Daniel, and Ocean is also the only Ocean!"

But she never saw the innocence of a five year old in his face again!

"Daniel, let's go to the playground, why don't we?" William picked him up, and said to Sherry, "Daniel's Mommy, you should go and ask for a day off at the teachers room!"

"Oh, yeah, I am going right now!" Sherry suddenly felt that it was right to come and see the kid today, the issue had a big impact on the child, and she didn't take the time to be with him, he was so lonely, and she really didn't do what she needed to.

"Uncle, don't you need to work?" Daniel asked while looking at William.

"I am the boss, whatever I say counts, and I say today I don't have to work!"

"But Mom isn't working for you anymore!"

"I will ask for a day off for her!"

"Okay!" Daniel nodded, "You can put me down, I am already a big kid, you don't need to carry me!"

From today on, he was a big child, he was the child who was abandoned, he had no right to stay in other's arms. He didn't want to be the child other's got annoyed of!

"Don't worry, I like to carry you!" William felt more calm having him in his arms, all the other feelings were gone, even when he had Samuel in his arms, he didn't feel that way.

When William thought of that, he shook his head and smiled, this was all too weird, maybe he just felt too much pity for Daniel to make up for the guilt he felt, to comfort himself, that must be it! He hugged Daniel tighter to himself.

"Uncle..." Daniel felt a little pain being held so tight, and hesitated for a while before he said anything, "Uncle, you are holding me too tight!"

William loosened his grip a little, but still didn't let go of him, "You can lean on my shoulder, okay?"

"Uncle?" Daniel didn't understand.

"I like you!" William tipped on his nose, his skin was so smooth and soft, when he touched it he felt as if he got an electric shock, and smiled, "You don't like me right? So you don't want me to hold you?" "No!" Daniel said in a hurry and shook his head, "I just don't want you to get tired, nobody likes me anymore!"

William felt his heart twitch, "Silly boy, you are so sweet, why would anyone not like you?"

"But..." He was still worried, "But mom and dad don't want me anymore!"

William's heart sank even lower, really, this all had too big of an effect on the child. "Who told you that your parents didn't want you anymore? You are your mother's child, she was only joking with me, look how similar you look to her, right?"

"Uncle, was it really just a joke?" Daniel asked in disbelief.

"Of course, if I lie to you, I will turn into the Ocean, okay?"

"Then you will be the one who was abandoned by your parents!" Daniel said.

"Yeah, exactly, then, you can ignore me!" William thought, he had to help Daniel walk out of that hole.

"Uncle, don't comfort me, I already know!" Daniel wasn't a normal child, how could he believe him so easily?

"I wasn't comforting you, I told you the truth!" William raised his brows, he felt defeated inside, it gave him a headache to have met such a smart kid.

Daniel on the other hand laughed, he remembered how nervous his mother was last night, he shouldn't be so depressed, no matter if he was her kid or not, it was enough that she loved him, "Thank you, uncle I am okay! You don't have to comfort me, you should comfort my mom, she seems to be a bit sad!"

"Oh!" William was surprised, "You..."

"Do you like my mom?" Daniel looked into his eyes and asked seriously.

"I won't tell you!"

"If you don't tell me, I still know, you hugged her, you like her!" His mom didn't allow just anyone to hug her.

"Hey! Do you want to have a dad?" William asked him.

"I don't really care!" Daniel shrugged.

"Little brat, you don't?"

"I never had a dad, but I still grew so big and healthy!"

"But your mom needs someone to take care of her!"

"I can do that!"

"But your mom needs a man!"

"I will be a man when I grow up!"

"But you are her son!"

"Right, I am her son, so what?" Daniel didn't understand and asked, he stared at William for a while, and then said in all seriousness, "I understand, you like my mom, but you don't dare to say so right? Why are you the same as Mr. Brooks? You like her, but don't want to admit? If you like her, you can try and woo her, she isn't like other women!"

William's head was hurting, why was he so smart? "What kind of women?"

"Those bitches!" Daniel said, "Even though I am not her birth child, but, whoever dares to bully my Mom, I will hate him! Uncle, you shouldn't do so!" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hm, do you think anyone dares to just do so to her?" William raised his brow.

Daniel laughed, "Are you afraid of her?"

At the gate of the kindergarten, the teacher came out with Sherry, they saw William and Daniel, and the teacher paused, then she smiled, "Daniel wasn't very happy today, now he is okay again, no wonder, because his dad is here, look how happy he is! So he doesn't only look like you, he also looks like his dad!"

Sherry was startled, then she raised her head to look over, she noticed the smile on Daniel's face, he really looked happy, finally his face lit up, Sherry's heart also raised up again, but William was not his father! How could she say that Daniel looked like William! This teacher really didn't even think before she spoke, Daniel wasn't even her own child.

But Sherry didn't explain anything, and said goodbye to the teacher.

"Mom, are we really skipping classes?" Daniel looked at Sherry, who was walking towards them.

"Yeah, I already asked for a day off, today we will spend some time with you!" She saw that William had been carrying Daniel all the time, she didn't know why, but suddenly felt it looked harmonized though he was wearing his suit and leather shoes.

"Ms. Murray, can we go?" William raised his brow.

"Mom, are we taking Uncle's car?" Daniel was hoping for it, but didn't dare to say that, he could only wait for Sherry to tell him so. He was really hoping for it, he has never been in such a cool car! Sherry couldn't get herself to say no, she she nodded.

"Oh, yeah! That's so great!" Daniel called out in excitement.

William went over to open the door, and sat Daniel inside, helped him with the seat belt, "We will go to pick up another kiddo okay?"

"Who?" Daniel was sitting on his seat, his little face looking at William, "Do you also have a child?"

Sherry wanted to sit in the back, but William stopped her, "You sit in the front, Samuel will sit there!"

Sherry was pushed to the passenger side by William, "Daniel, do you remember Samuel? He is William's son!"

"Oh really!" Daniel was very excited, "So I will see him?"

"Of course!"

They quickly went to pick up Samuel, as soon as he saw Sherry, he ran to her happily, "Miss!"

"Samuel!" Sherry was very moved by his emotions, she thought it must be because he was missing a mother!

"Get in the car, kid!" William went to ask for leave, then helped Samuel into the back seat. The two kids were very happy to meet again.

"Samuel, so your dad is Mr. Rowland!" Daniel shook hands with Samuel, "Why are you still so shy?"

Samuel's little face blushed, he looked very excited, he looked at the two grown ups in front, and couldn't understand why his dad and Miss Sherry suddenly came to visit him, wasn't his dad even mad when he asked that the last time? "Dad, are we going to Miss Sherry's house for dinner tonight?"

William looked at his son through the rear mirror, "That you will have to ask Sherry!"

Sherry didn't expect it to turn out like that, the two of them taking the kids out to play, one without a dad, the other one without a mom, this was all too strange!

"Mom, can't they come to have dinner? But uncle was there last night too!" Daniel didn't even wait for Sherry to answer and got excited.

Samuel looked as if he was wronged, he lowered his head, and didn't dare to ask anymore.

"No, of course they can!" Sherry couldn't bring herself to decline such a poor kid's request, "Samuel, what do you want to eat?"

"The same as last time!" Samuel's little face was filled with vitality as he heard he could go, "Miss Sherry's cooking is really good, Dad, can you come with us?"
