A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 84 To Get Married or Not

"How dare you take Sammy to see that indecent surrogate mother! You'll be dismissed and disowned for this!" John Rowland said in a rage.

"Father! Sammy is supposed to stay with his mother! He needs her love!" William tried to explain.

"Then leave the Rowland Group! You are no longer CEO of the company!" John hung up the phone.

Sherry realized there must be something serious. Though she didn't grasp a whole picture of this, what William said about her son not leaving her was fully impressive. Perhaps, he was not that malevolent!

How could a man caring about mother's love for a child be malicious? As she thought, she felt her opinion towards William was not unswerving.

William turned back, greeted by her standing beside the dining table and his son next to the kitchen door in alarm. The boy asked, "Dad, is that grandpa? Is he angry?" Grandpa had been a profile of anger to the boy.

William shook his head without words. Then he replied, "No, he isn't. He wants you to have fun!"

Sherry was a little surprised, as that was obviously not what the old man had said.

But she was responded by a mere glance from William, who looked thoughtful, his eyes deep.

"Really! Then I can spend the whole day with mom, right?" Samuel asked.

"Of course!" William nodded. "Go and eat now!"

"So nice! Time for breakfast!" Samuel had never been so free as he was now, didn't have to go to kindergarten, grandpa not irritated at all. Everything looked so good to him! "Sammy, try this!" Sherry put the fried eggs into her son's plate. "And drink some milk. It makes you strong!"

She went on to make more fried eggs. She noticed that there were quite a few fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, probably owing to his order early in the morning. Then she made some oatmeal. While the breakfast was well-prepared, she began to worry about Daniel, not knowing how he was in the school. Though now she was reunited with Samuel, she was yet to feel at ease.

William sat down. Not given the chopsticks, he reached out to grab hers and started to eat.

"What, you!" Sherry glared at him, while he raised his eyebrows, saying, "You didn't give me these!"

"Dad, I'll fetch you a pair! Give them back to mom. She is going to cry!" Sammy jumped off the chair and rushed to the kitchen.

Head down, Sherry blamed William silently. But what did his father say on the phone? His response evoked complicated emotions in her.

After the meal, William left!

When Sherry called Leon for leave, she was told that William had arranged her resignation.

Damn it! How bossy he was to make her quit the job without letting her know!

How detestable!

"Sherry, what happened? Will had called to say you would quit. Are you alright?" Leon was concerned about her, trying to figure out the situation.

"I'm good, Leon. Just a small problem. Could I take a day off? I won't quit my job. It really matters to me!" Sherry was embarrassed. Though Leon was Celia's brother, she felt ashamed of her frequent leave. "Alright, that's no problem. But what about Will?"

"Don't care about him. Leon, I won't quit!" Sherry was determined and proceeded, "I'll go back to work tomorrow!"

"Alright!" After hanging up the phone, Leon felt more confused at the relationship between Sherry and William. It seemed they were close.

"Sammy, let's go back to mom's house, shall we?" Sherry asked.

She decided to take her son back to her own apartment!

"Mom, but don't we wait for dad? He said we stay here and wait for him! He also said he would take Dan back home! Is Dan my elder brother or little brother? Dad said both Dan and I are your children!" Samuel looked at her with his big round eyes in surprise.

"Really? When did he say that?" Sherry had never expected him to say so. What did William really want? "I don't know whether you are older than Dan or not."

They should be about the same age.

Samuel looked at her full of doubts, then lowered his head and frowned. "How come you don't know?"

Responding to his wondering eyes, Sherry, thinking that Dan was less childish, said, "Sammy, Dan is older than you. He's your elder brother. He will protect you from now on! Do you like brother Dan?" She was being cautious, worrying about whether the two kids would be jealous of each other.

"Yes! I like him!" Samuel nodded, delighted to have a brother.

"Did dad really say he would take Dan back home? Did he know that your brother went to another school?" Sherry asked.

"Dad didn't say that!" Samuel frowned. "Then let's pick him up, and then we call dad, shall we?"

"Yes! Clever boy!" Sherry hung out with the boy until in the afternoon, when she fetched Daniel and took her two boys back to her apartment.

"Mom, how come Sammy becomes your child?" Daniel doubted.

While Sherry found it hard to tell the whole story, Sammy said, "Dan, do you think we're twins?"

Daniel shook his head, staring at Sherry, quite puzzled, thinking that if Samuel was her child, she and Mr. Rowland should have long known each other.

"Dan, you and Sammy are all my children. From now on, we are a family. I hope you two get along well. Then there's nothing else I want!"

"Will mom get married with Mr. Rowland?" Daniel spoke out the most worrying question.

Sherry's face went pale. She changed the topic immediately, "Now I'm going to make the dinner!"

At that time, the phone was ringing. Knowing it was William, Sherry hung up at once!

"Mom, is that dad?" Samuel realized his father was not told about their leave!

"No. Wrong number!" Sherry concealed the truth.

However, 20 minutes later, the 'Wrong number' man rushed into the apartment like a fierce wind. Seeing the two boys safe and sound, William breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Sherry as if he would kill her. The dame woman! He thought the boys were missing.

***

He felt at ease to see the children.

Sherry didn't speak, not daring to see him. After letting him in, Sherry turned around and walked, before she suddenly whipped round to have a glimpse of him.

He looked he had been in a hurry, with his hair in a mess, his suit, in contrast to its normal tidiness, wrinkling.

As William stared at her, Sherry frowned and said, "You can leave now. Tomorrow I'll take Sammy to the kindergarten. You're not welcome here."

But he smiled, his eyes expressing unusual warmth, his face being softening like a melting iceberg. Sherry goggled at him in amazement, which made him laugh even more wildly. His deep laughter penetrated her ears, driving her more annoyed. She kept frowning and asked, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"Are you mad about what I did last night?" He thought she was reminded of how he forced her to have sex. Sherry flushed right away, turning around against him.

"Dad, what happened?" Samuel felt there was something wrong. "Am I allowed not to return to grandpa's house?" Sherry became nervous before William replied.

Seeing Sherry tautening all over her body, William nodded, and answered, "You don't need to go there from now on." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Really?" Samuel turn excited. "But what if grandpa gets angry?"

"Whatever!" William was unusually unrestrained.

"Mister ..." Daniel frowned, worried, with a lump in his throat.

"What is it?"

"Can I have a talk with you?" After a moment of consideration, Daniel answered.

Sherry was left silent by the way Daniel talked, which sounded increasingly like that of a grown-up. Seeing his worried face, she felt a little blue, guilty about paying too much attention to Samuel and too less to him.

William nodded. "Sure. Just say it!"

"Will you marry my mom?" Daniel asked, "Will you two get married?"

The question hit William's heart. His eyes became sharp, fixed on Daniel's face, who, caring and defending his mother a lot, was trying to negotiate as an adult.

"Do you find it hard to answer, mister?" Daniel proceeded, "Or do you have no intention to marry my mom?"

The son's words astonished the mother for a moment, who had never imagined he would say so. She knew clearly of William's answer. William to her was what stars to human. She had never thought to touch the star.

Calming herself down, she clarified, "Dan, mom and mister are only friends. I won't marry him. I am happy enough to have you and Sammy. Mister has his own life. So let's skip the topic, alright?"

Hearing what she said, William's eyes turned cold, and his face looked serious, he squeezed out a sneer. "We will live together!" He said out of nowhere.

"Then it's concubinage!" Daniel pursed his lips, turned around and asked Samuel, "Do you want to be a illegitimate child?"

"What does illegitimate child mean?" Samuel doubted.

Both William and Sherry were shocked at the word. William denied, "No, he is not. Nor are you! You two will have my family name. I am your father. Dan will be renamed as Daniel Rowland, ranking the same as Sammy in the clan!"

Daniel rolled his eyes, feeling how overbearing the man in front of him was. "Mom, what do you think?"

William's tone made her somewhat angry. How could he take for granted his role as a decision maker? Did he want to own both the boys? Sherry laughed, laughing at his words.

"Dan's family name remains mine!" Sherry responded determinedly.

"I agree! I'm Daniel Murray!" The boy firmly supported his mother.

"Then can I take Murray as my family name? I also want mom's family name!" Samuel said timidly, without any idea of what was going on. "Is that okay, dad?"

"Damn it!" William murmured.

He glared at the woman, looking so irritable that she might be stabbed to death scarred and battered by his bullet-like eyes.

"Dad, are you cursing mom?" Sammy questioned closely.

It left William's words unjustified. "I ..."

"Dad! I don't want mom to die. I just regain her. Please don't say these dreadful words." Samuel looked upset as he begged.

"Er..." William failed to outspeak him.

Seeing how embarrassed he was for the first time, Sherry turned around, raising her lips.

Daniel also laughed. He thought Sammy was cute.

"Yes, Sammy, your dad was cursing mom to die. You should beg him to withdraw his words. Otherwise we can't see mom again!" Daniel added fuel to the flames.
