Chapter 72 Parental Love

Clearly, that was a male customer, and it was a customer who admired Sherry, "Miss, what is your name?" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Sherry laughed, "Sir, our meals are served on second floor!"

"Miss, as soon as you tell me your name, I will go upstairs! This is my name card." The man behaved very rascally, and took out his name card while speaking, Sherry did not take it though, then, the man took Sherry's hand, Sherry got so scared that she pulled it back, but he grabbed it tight.

"Sir!" Sherry was still smiling, she hoped that he could be more self dignified, "Please let go!"

Upstairs, William was watching this scene, and his face darkened.

He walked downstairs quickly, and came to her side.

The person saw the well talented and good looking William, and was stunned, "What do you want?"

Sherry tried to duck away, turned around, and saw the dangerous eyes, but those eyes were staring at the person next to her, and not Sherry herself.

She was startled for a moment, then William grabbed her wrist with one hand, with the other he held on to the man's hand, so tight that he hurt him, then, the man let go of Sherry, and William pulled her behind himself, telling the guy, "She doesn't want your name card, can you not see that?"

"How is that any of your business?" The guy swallowed, he was pressured by William's aura, and left.

Sherry felt complicated, still behind William, she didn't expect that the first day of her working in the lobby, she would run into a situation where she had no idea how to handle it. If it wasn't for William to help her out of it, she would have been taken advantage of, suddenly, she felt difficult towards William, and there was some awkwardness between them.

William turned to her, without speaking, instead, he scanned her up and down.

"Thank you!" Sherry said in a lowered voice.

"Come with me!" He grabbed her hand again, and pulled her outside.

"Hey, let go of me, I am still working!" Sherry yelled.

"Not anymore!" He replied.

Sherry looked at his strong back, the way he was pulling her out of the building, even the security men at the door were only staring at them, and could only imagine Sherry's distress at that moment.

What did he want from her? She didn't understand why he suddenly appeared at the restaurant again, and every time he did something unexpected.

Only when he stuffed her into his car, and the Bugatti started driving, Sherry stopped to fight him.

"Where is Daniel?" He suddenly asked.

"What do you want?" She asked in return.

"We are going to pick him up!" William knew it was his fault last night that Sherry spoke about her dark secret, he already asked his people to find out about her past five years, soon, he will know every detail about her from the past years.

"Why would we want to pick him up?" She didn't understand. She stared at him, his thick dark hair, his dark eyes that were flashing and sparkling.

William lit up a cigarette, and took two puffs.

The smell of tobacco was spreading in the car, Sherry just looked at him, and couldn't get herself back on earth.

"Are you not worried him to be alone in the kindergarten after crying for so long last night?" William said, asking with his cold voice.

Sherry felt pulled back to reality, she bit her lips, "And what if I am? It has already happened!"

He blew out the white smoke, and said, "Address, tell me the address!"

"What do you want to do? William!" She asked him.

His voice was very mild, "I just worry about the child, is that not okay for you?"

When she heard his words, she looked at his face that she really wanted to slap. Even though this face has charmed countless women, but she wanted to rip if off his head, throw it on the ground, and just step on it, then she wanted to put it back on his skull again, and see how he will ever so arrogant again!

"I don't need anyone else to care about my own child!" She said annoyed, she didn't even know why she was so impatient when talking to him.

"Maybe you should ask Daniel about that! Maybe he needs to have a father, only then it would help him growing up!" He said. Smoking, driving, chatting with her, none of those were neglected by him.

Sherry paused, what did he mean?

To have a father?

Is a father someone who will be there by just saying he needs one? Plus, what did he care if her child had a father or not!

She never thought about finding a father for Daniel, Sherry lowered her voice, and said, holding back her emotions, "Tell me, what is it that you want? William! I don't think it is any of your business if my son has a father or not! Don't you feel you are already invading other's lives?"

This annoying man, why was he always haunting her?

And on top of all, they had said to pretend not to know each other, now he came to the restaurant to assault her again! And she didn't even know what for, if there was something for him to go after, fine, but there was nothing at all! It's not like he needed money, or women, she really couldn't wrap her head around the reasons. Or were rich people just easily bored and needed something to do?

He was being so unreasonable by following her like that!

"Oh, really? I don't think I am invading your life. Or am I?" William' voice was strange.

"What do you want!" Sherry sighed.

"To be Daniel's Daddy!" William said.

"..." She stagnated.

"Oh, don't overthink it. I don't mean to woo you!" William added, yeah, sure, "These are two different things!"

Sherry blushed, so she did think too much into it! Thank God she didn't say anything.

"I mean, I want to be his Dad, but there needs to be no love between us, I don't like to talk about love, I just jump straight into bed, if you need, I can help you with that too!"

Sherry blushed even more, but it was anger. Why was this man so garrulous! He seemed to be completely different than the impression he first left her, he completely overturned his image of

president of Rowland Group!

"I don't have time to waste with you!" Sherry rolled her eyes, "Stop following us, my son is strong enough, he doesn't need a Dad!"

"Well, that would depend on Daniel!" William's cigarette in his hand kept glowing, it had collected a string of ashes. He seemed to have forgotten about smoking it.

"Your ashes are about to fall!" She reminded him and bit her teeth.

"Oh!" William flicked his cigarette, and killed it in the ash tray.

"Well, that's settled then, tell me the address, I don't like to ask things three times, or else you can try me!" His voice was mild, but it mad Sherry suddenly feel cold.

This kind of feeling caused her to give out the address unwillingly.

But she still felt uncomfortable inside, and said to William, "Mr. Rowland, I don't know what I did to offend you for you to like mocking me, but now, I have already resigned, I am not part of Rowland Group anymore, I do not think you need to care so much about me and my son anymore."

"Not happening!" He kept driving.

Shit, why did he look so handsome even just holding his steering wheel.

"William!" Sherry yelled out angrily, "Can you please stop making trouble for us! You have cause too much damage, if it wasn't because of you, Daniel would have never found out, if my son will be shadowed because of that, I will curse you for the rest of your life!"

"Any shadow can be chased away by the warmth of sunshine, as long as we love him, it will disappear some day!" William sighed, he smiled and said, "We are going to get him and take him to play! If you

don't want to go, you can get off the car now, go back and be harassed by the guy in the restaurant!"

Why should he take her son to play? Who did he take himself for?

"Don't even think about taking my son out by yourself!" She didn't trust William, she didn't even know his intentions, oh god, her head was about to explode!

"Then be a goody girl, I like them!" His expression was so unconcerned, but the way he was speaking made her want to throw up.

She looked at his unscrupulous but at the same time handsome face, Sherry felt her heart tighten up, she felt stuffy, and suddenly terrified. How could she allow herself to be angered so easily by him, why could she not be the same calm Sherry she usually was when she saw him?

She quickly got herself in order, then said more calm, "Mr. Rowland, I thank you for your loving and caring, you have a son too, I know you do have fatherly love for him, you can use it all on Samuel, not Daniel!"

"Yeah, you are right, then why don't we go and pick Samuel as well, let them skip school for a day, and go out to play!" He suggested, "Right, your idea is great, let's do this!"

"William!" Suddenly, the anger was showing on her face again.

Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath!

William could hear her fast breathing, and couldn't help but to smile, was she angry? Did he say something? "You don't want my child to feel motherly love? Sherry, why don't we agree on a deal, none of us will owe each other, I can give your son a dad, and you can be my son's mom, isn't that fair?"

"If you want to find a mother for Samuel, you should go and get married, find a gentle and kind woman to take care of him!"

"Then why don't you go and find a man? Why don't you find a man and get married? You have been a single mother all these years, you have had a hard life, why would you do that? His words were blunt, and suddenly she felt a rock hit her heart, her ears were humming.

"I don't have the material for that!" She turned her face to the side, and looked out of the window at the passing scenery, she felt a haze inside. Since the day she lost her virginity when she was 17, she has lost her right to get married!

His hands on the steering wheel suddenly grabbed tighter, after a while, he said, "Is there something shadowing your heart?"

"..." That was her secret she had buried deep down inside, she didn't want to tell anybody, she would never allow herself to do that, only three months, Mr. Fox asked for three months, then she would be able to see her son, she can endure it for three months!

"Maybe everything is not as bad as you think!" William said, his words sounded equivocal.

Sherry kept quiet, there was no way she could communicate with this guy, she didn't know what to say. When the car arrived at the kindergarten, Sherry got off the car, and when William found a parking space, he followed her. It was lunch time, so Daniel was in the play area, sitting all alone in a corner.

Sherry spottet him there, sitting in the corner, looking down on the ground, he looked very sad, and she felt her heart ache immediately.

This whole thing had a great impact on Daniel!

William came to her, looked up and saw Daniel, was he also an introvert like Samuel? This child used to be so active! He didn't understand why, but he felt that his heart ached as well, he pulled Sherry, "Don't worry, let's hear what he was saying!"

The two of them walked in carefully, and heard him speaking to a puppet.

Sherry stopped abruptly, because Daniel looked so lonely, all of her focus was on him, she never noticed William was holding her hand.

When she saw Daniel having his head hanging, and mumbling something to himself, her brow knit, she was wondering if maybe her son has gone dumb due to the impact?
