A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 67 Sudden Rain

"Because Mr. Brooks brought me a lot of toys! Mommy wanted to thank him, isn't that how you are supposed to treat your guests?" Daniel didn't notice that something was hanging in the air, he raised his gaze to look at William, then he looked at Sherry, "Uncle, don't you like Liam?"

"Daniel, eat!" Sherry wanted him to stop talking, and subconsciously looked at William, even she didn't know why she needed to endure his moods.

William's feeling of stuffiness in his chest was getting stronger, he took the bowl Sherry handed her, and started to shovel it in his mouth, but it was so hot that he frowned. The hot porridge went down his throat, the burning pain stopped on chest level.

"Ahh! It is still hot, are you alright?" Sherry suddenly said, "Are you okay, Mr. Rowland?"

"Uncle, you must be really hungry!" Daniel saw that William was burnt by his porridge, and went to get a cup of cold water, he handed it to William, and said caring, "Uncle, drink some water, it will help."

When William saw how this little child was caring about him, he felt warmth in his heart, this child, if he wasn't Sherry's, how nice that would be. Maybe then he could tell John about him, but as he was looking at those two faces, he knew, John would never allow a woman with another child to marry into the Rowland family! Even if she was Samuel's birth mother!

"Thank you!" William squinted his eyes, and took the cup from Daniel, took a sip, and really, he felt better.

The little boy smiled happily, "You are welcome, uncle!"

Then, he ran to the kitchen and got a spoon, "Uncle, use this, then it won't be as hot!"

William had mixed feelings, he felt that he was too narrow minded when it came to this child. Children were all pure. He told Daniel that he didn't like him, and yet he went to get him water, and a spoon, that

left him with mixed feelings.

"Eat!" William patted his head, and showed him a smile.

"Uncle, this one is good!" Daniel pointed to the spicy chicken, his favorite dish.

"No, he cannot eat anything spicy!" Sherry stopped him.

"Why?"

"Why?"

Almost at the same time, two voices were heard. The two pretty faces of a child and an adult were looking at Sherry, and for just a second, Sherry felt like in a trance as she saw the two of them in front of her.

"People who are sick should eat something mild, so you should have your porridge, not the chicken!" Sherry paused, then she explained.

"Then why did you cook this!" William raised his brow, "But now not allow me to eat!"

"This is for me and Daniel, Mr. Rowland, you can have the potatoes, and the tomatoes and eggs."

"Nope!" William took his chopsticks and went to get some chicken, "I want the spicy one!"

"Uncle, I also like to eat spicy!" Daniel said excited, "My mom also likes that! Let me help you!"

As he said so, Daniel already took the plate and handed it over, "Mom, he likes this, didn't you say sick people are allowed to eat what they like?"

"Daniel!" Sherry said, "He is not allowed to have that, it's too spicy, and he hasn't eaten the whole day, it will give him a stomach bug!"

"Okay, then you should have some porridge first, when you have something in your stomach, you can eat this!" The little boy was very satisfied with his idea.

"No!" Sherry shook her head stubbornly, "He hasn't eaten the whole day, he cannot have anything spicy, it will hurt his stomach!"

"I didn't know you cared so much!" William smiled.

"Who cares about you!" Why did he always twist her words?

"Mom, if you don't care about him, why did you bring him to us?" Daniel didn't understand either.

Sherry froze, "Daniel, eat your food, we are not supposed to speak while eating!"

"Oh!" Daniel looked down, and kept eating his food happily, without talking.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room got strange.

"Daniel, is it? Your name is Daniel?" William suddenly asked.

Daniel raised his head to look at William, his mouth was filled with chicken, his mother didn't allow him to talk, but she didn't say he wasn't allowed to nod, so he nodded.

Sherry looked at William, "Mr. Rowland, eat your food!"

William didn't even bother her, his expression was calm, and he looked at Daniel, he watched him shovel all the spicy chicken into his mouth and asked, "Is it spicy?"

Daniel shook his head, and couldn't help but to reply, "Uncle, it's not spicy, it's delicious!"

William laughed and shook his head, Samuel never ate spicy food, he noticed that Sherry liked the spices as well, and so did he, but why did Samuel not like it? Was there a gene mutation?

"Uncle, you don't have to eat the chilli, but you can have some chicken!" Daniel thought that William was craving, so he suggested, "This is not as spicy, you can have it to satisfy your cravings!"

William scanned Sherry, and acted casually, "Forget it, I don't want to make some people angry, because having to see an angry face while eating really spoils my appetite."

Daniel didn't understand, and looked at William, then he looked at Sherry, "Mom, I think he is talking about you, are you mad?"

"No!" Sherry changed her expression, "I am alright, just eat your food!"

"Alright!"

Sherry looked at William, this man was really detestable, and his words evil!

William's lips moved and he put on a smile, as if he was in a extraordinary good mood.

The food was really good, but who knew that Liam had the chance to enjoy it before him, William was thinking if he should come more often in the future to get a bite of food. But is this something he would do?

His restless eyes were looking at Sherry, he took some potatoes, they were crispy, and tasty, and cut just into the right size.

Sherry knew that William was eating, but she also noticed that his gaze was resting on her too often, on her face, her body, and made her uncomfortable.

William squinted his eyes, and stared at Sherry who was obviously not comfortable, then he said, "I will leave after the meal, don't be afraid, but..." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He paused intentionally, then he said, "But can you really live with it? I am still sick, you know!"

Sherry looked at him, "I have already done more than I should!"

"Oh, really?" William put down his chopsticks, with one hand he supported his head, and raised his brow. He had dashing eyebrows, sharp eyes, tall bridged nose, and charming lips which were just the right thickness. He smiled, and said playfully, "Alright, as long as you can live with it, then I will leave!"

After he said that, he took his chopsticks again, but his eyes were still fixed on Sherry, he looked at her breasts, and smiled.

Sherry lowered her head, and quickly ate her food, but she had no appetite anymore, why did she have the feeling she took home an animal?

"Mom, why don't you eat anymore?" Daniel asked.

William looked at Sherry, and said, "She feels guilty!"

"Why would she feel guilty?"

"That you will have to ask her!"

"Tell me, uncle!"

Sherry threw an angry look at William, "Mr. Rowland, are you done? If you are done, please leave!"

"As soon as I finish my porridge! I do have to thank you though, I have nothing here, so maybe another day, I will come over to thank you!" William's unscrupulous face did not show any strange expression.

Sherry on the other hand was shocked, she looked at him with her beautiful face, "Mr. Rowland, there is no need for that, this was no trouble for me. Please, go!"

William scanned her face, her pursed red lips were charming to him. She had no idea that the calmer she acted, the more she was arousing a man's desire to conquer her.

"Uncle, will you leave?" Daniel stood up and asked reluctantly.

"Yeah, your mom doesn't want me to stay, look at me, still being sick!"

Sherry's face froze, she wasn't heartless, but this man was really scary, "Mr. Rowland, it's not too late yet, you should go home, here is your medicine!"

William didn't take it, he looked down and said to Daniel, "Good bye Daniel!"

"Good bye!"

William took his suit and walked towards the door, but as soon as he got out, he noticed the gray sky, it was raining! The fragrant of mud was hanging in the air, and it was extraordinarily cold! He couldn't help but to look back inside, towards the tightly closed door. He knew that she was really scared of him, but it was amusing for him to see her like that!

And she still hadn't recognized who he was, if she knew that Samuel was the child she has been searching for, she would collapse! Especially if she knew that he was the person with the mask who had spent several nights with her, she would be furious. Would she maybe hate him?

William's eyes squinted, he was suddenly annoyed.

"Mom, uncle is still sick!"

"Don't worry, he will go home!"

"But didn't you say his father would be worried about him?" Daniel asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, he is already better!"

"Okay!" Daniel nodded, and went to his room.

Outside the building, a tall figure was standing at the door, smoking. He blew out the smoke and felt very unhappy. Was he too hasty at the dating party on Saturday?

Just as he was about to leave, the drizzle turned into pouring rain, and it was only getting heavier.

"Mommy, it is raining!" Daniel looked outside the window when he was in his bedroom, and saw the pouring rain outside.

Sherry paused, and looked out, it was really raining, earlier when she came home it was still okay, when did it start so suddenly? Won't he get wet?

"Mommy, it's raining, uncle is already sick, he will get worse if he gets wet!"

Sherry had a strange feeling, and said, "He doesn't even like you, why do you care so much?"

"But he is sick!" Daniel grabbed an umbrella, "I will go and look for him!"

"Wait!" Sherry stopped him, "I will go!"

He must have saved her in her previous life for her to owe him, she took the umbrella and went outside, she went downstairs, but didn't see him, while the rain was getting heavier.

This stupid man, did he really leave? Did he not think about hiding from the rain?

Sherry opened the umbrella and ran into the rain, she didn't understand why she felt so anxious, why did she care if he was sick or not?

Not too far in front of her, she saw a tall shadow in the rain, he had no umbrella and didn't walk too fast, as if he didn't care about the rain.

Sherry suddenly stopped, then she ran towards him, "Mr. Rowland!"

William paused, and turned around, but she was already next to him, holding the umbrella above him, but his clothes were already wet, and his hair sticking on his head, the moment he turned around, he was strangely fluttered.
