A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 49: Pick Her Up

Sherry didn't explain anything.

"Mommy, I am a man, of course I need to buy a house!”

"Son! No matter what, let me take care of the house, you are just a child, you haven't even grown up yet, can you please not

worry about this?!”

Sherry saw that Daniel was not going to forget about this, the soft expression on her face turned, and she started to yell at him, these premature children are really hard to talk to.

“What a good boy!” Liam was serious, he lost his playful self, "Daniel, come over, let's cheers over your big plans!”

Daniel actually really clinked his glass with him.

During the meeting, Liam took the contract out again to have Sherry sign it.

“Daniel, if anything changed, I will call you!"

After the meal, Liam insisted on driving Sherry and Daniel back home.

"Tomorrow morning I will come to pick you up to go to the hospital!" Liam didn't forget that it was time to take out the stitches.

“No need to trouble you, Mr. Brooks!"

"Mr. Brooks, why does my mom have to go to the hospital?” Daniel heard their conversation, and asked in his childish voice.

"What is wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong!" Sherry said nervously, "I will just go to visit a friend!”

"Oh!" He nodded his head, but his brows were tightly knit, as if he was doubting the truth in Sherry's words.

Liam looked at Daniel through the rear mirror, he was only a 5 year old child, how come he was so sharp to even worry about

housings. Is their life so difficult? He thought about Sherry’s clothes, they were all rigid and stiff suits. She was in her best age, all the other girls were dressed bright and flashy, only she was always so simple.

“Pretty uncle!” Daniel remembered something else.

"Gosh, please don't call me that, call me uncle Liam!" Liam hated it when people called him pretty.

"But you are just as pretty as Mom!"

"And yet you don't call your mom pretty Mommy!"

"Alright, uncle Liam!" Daniel paused while thinking, then his little face was filled with a smile again, and said, “Uncle Liam, why

did Mr. Big Dick not come by himself!"

“Daniel, don't call him that!” Sherry stopped him.

"Hahahaha..." Liam exploded in laughter.

Sherry blushed even more.

"Because he is busy!"

"Can I see him?"

"Of course you can, he is your mother's boss!”

"Then please thank Mr. Big Dick on my behalf!”

"Daniel, please don't give him such nicknames: Sherry knitted her brows, her head aching. She left her head hanging,

suffering a set back, she was really afraid of her son seeing William, just remembering the fact that she sold him a whole box of condoms was embarrassing enough, it would be horribly awkward to see him in person.

"Alright!" Daniel nodded, but it has already become a habit, it will be hard to change it.

"Sherry, I will be there soon!" Liam called, "About 10 minutes!"

"That fast?” Sherry was surprised.

"Of course, I am taking my life savor to the hospital, I gotta be early for that...” Liam laughed.

“Thank you, Mr. Brooks, I will be right down...” Sherry turned off her computer, grabbed her bag and left.

Just as she arrived at the road, she saw the blue Bugatti, the tall man leaning on the car was smoking, it looked as if he has

been standing there for a while, in the same position.

What was he doing here?

Sherry had no idea that he would come over!

"Going out?” He saw her coming out with her bag, and walked towards her, asking.

“Mr. Rowland, what are you doing here?"

"How is your thinking going?" He didn't answer her, instead, he asked her in return.

"What thinking?”

"To move to my house!" He said.

Sherry was full of astonishment, sluggish and baffling!

“Didn't we agree that you would be my woman? My son needs a mother anyways!” He said humorous, walked to her, and

stood close to her.

Sherry raised her head to look at him, his pretty eyes had red vessels, as if he didn't sleep well last night, but yet he was very

energetic, staring at her when saying in a soft voice, "Hm?"

“Mr. Rowland, I already told you I've had a child before, I am not the pure woman you think I am, I also haven't thought about

being anyone's wife or lover, lam not the right person for that!" He saw her own shadow in his dark eyes, so calm, so indifferent, she was very satisfied with her own performance.

William squinted his eyes, the smile on his face froze a little, very slightly, but Sherry still noticed, she knew that he was angry.

Sherry herself was smiling on the outside, but inside, she was very nervous.

In this moment, Liam's car arrived, he saw William's Bugatti, and his eyes dimmed, how come both of them skipped work today?

That moment, William also saw Liam's car, and was terrified for a moment, then he looked at Sherry with deep meaningful eyes.

"Did you make an appointment with him?”

"What! No... yeah, no!"

"Yes, or no?” He raised his brow.

Liam's car turned into the road, and clearly, it was too narrow. It was very eye catching with a Bugatti parking there and now

another Pagani coming in.

"Mr. Rowland, who knew you would be here!” Liam got out of his car, but didn't walk over to them, he stood by his car, and

stared at the two.

"I will not interrupt your date!” William raised his dark eyes, with a hint of satire.

Sherry felt bad when she heard him say that, what did he mean by that? When did she ever have a date with Liam?

“will, where are you going? I am taking Sherry to the hospital for her stitches, wanna come along?" Liam saw William leaving.

"lam very busy!” William said in his deep voice, and got into his car.

He started the engine of his Bugatti, made a u-turn and left.

Sherry stared at the car that was leaving the road, in her heart she felt as if a storm hit and messed up everything.

Liam turned to look at her, his eyes flashed for just a second, then he shook his head, "Sherry, let's go!”

Sherry nodded, and walked over the road, "Mr. Brooks, thank you again!”

"Sherry, can you please stop calling me Mr. Brooks?”

"Then what should I call you?”

“Liam is just fine” Liam laughed as he said, "Anything is better than that formal name!”

Sherry felt a little distressed, she hadn't had much contact with men, but she noticed how kind Liam was, and nodded, “Alright, Liam!"

“That's right, let's go now!” Liam started the engine, non of them mentioned why William was there.

After they finished at the hospital, Sherry wanted to go home, but Liam said, "Let's go grab some dinner, I will drive you home

afterwards-

"But..."

"But what? Let's go!” Liam laughed charmingly, making it impossible for Sherry to turn him down.

He didn't even wait for Sherry to reply before he drove towards the restaurant.

They drove to a restaurant in the city that was surrounded by bamboo shoots, Sherry really liked the environment there.

But as soon as she got off the car, she was hit by the intensive smell of perfume that made her cough.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Even Liam frowned.

In this moment, suddenly they heard a high pitched voice of a woman, "Oh, Mr. Brooks, such a coincidence!”

Sherry and Liam both turned their heads, and saw a pretty woman with wavy hair that was having her arm hooked with

William's, both of them walking towards them from the other side of the parking lot.

The stinging smell of her perfume was coming closer to them, it was again so uncomfortable for Sherry that she had to

sneeze.

William on the other hand had no expression at all, his eyes were deep and sharp.

“Oh, it's Ms. Hartman! Will, what a coincidence, are you also here to have dinner?” Liam greeted him smiling. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Yeah!" Lisa smiled happily, because William hadn't called her for a long time.

Sherry took a tissue to clear her nose, and lowered her head awkwardly.

“Is this your girlfriend?" Lisa pointed towards Sherry and asked Liam.

“Oh, that is my little sister!" Liam laughed jokingly, while looking at William again, who was very calm.

Sherry raised her eyes, and saw the marks on Lisa's neck, it looked like bite marks, then she looked at William, who was still

very calm. Sherry then smiled to Lisa, and asked Liam, "Let's go, Liam!"

When they were passing William, he suddenly asked, "Have you been to the hospital?”

"Yea, Mr. Rowland” Sherry said softly, then she lowered her head like a girl who had done something wrong, “I will be back to

work on Monday...”

“No rush...” William interrupted her, he was smiling as he said so.

Sherry noticed her ears heating up, and nodded.

“Let's go inside!” Liam put on his joyful face again.

When Lisa heard the conversation between William and Sherry, her face had changed, she hugged William's arm tighter, “Will,

so you know her!"

"Yeah, Sherry is Will's assistant!" Liam introduced.

"So that's why!” Lisa's expression froze, then she smiled again, "Why don't we have dinner together, what do you think, Will?”

"Yea, sure!” Will said.

Sherry was feeling awkward, they were going to sit together at one table!

The four of them entered the restaurant.

Only then Sherry noticed how noble this restaurant was, it was a rotating, so that they could see the bamboo scenery from the

windows.

There was champagne, delicacies, waiters dressed in suit and tie, and a musician playing his violin.

The dishes on the dining table was polished and shining, so much that it even hurt the eyes.

Sherry was feeling quite uncomfortable, because she had never been to such a noble place before, and she wasn't sure what to do.

“Sir, Madam, good evening: A waiter greeted them politely, and brought the menu.

They were seated at a table next to the window, Sherry could enjoy the bamboo garden outside.

“Sherry, what do you want to eat?” Liam handed a menu to her.

The waiter handed Lisa one as well.

Sherry scanned the menu, and felt very shocked, that was expensive! Some of the dishes were so expensive that her hands

started to sweat, why did they come here to eat? How could she possibly pay Mr. Brooks back for that?

Lisa, who was sitting opposite to her, already started to order, "Two French Goose Liver, two steaks, the steak medium rare, Will, what would you like to drink?"

"A bottle of 82!"

Sherry was still shocked, just the drink they ordered was worth a few years of her salary.

Liam realized something, and looked at Sherry caring, “Sherry, is something wrong?”

She shook her head, and said honestly, "This is really expensive.”

"Oh!" Liam started to laugh.

Sherry blushed, she knew that she would be made fun of if she said that, but that was what she was thinking.

Lisa turned to Sherry and looked at her in disdain.

William's gaze on the contrary passed by her, and was staring at the scenery outside.
