A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 170 Confession

He looked down at her face and leaned down to plant a kiss on her forehead. There was a subtle scent coming from her that stimulated his senses.

He just looked at her until she finally slept and woke up.

It was already one in the morning.

Sherry slowly opened her eyes. Her watery eyes were as cool as a clear spring, with beautiful ripples floating gently, and her thick lashes were as delicate as a butterfly's feathers. As she breathed, her eyelashes trembled gently. When she opened her eyes, she met his handsome face and deep eyes. He kept looking at her with a doting look.

She seemed startled, and then shyness colored her cheeks. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I was watching you!" He whispered.

"What are you looking at me for?" She asked shyly. "Aren’t you tired?"

She was even more embarrassed after the question. He'd been "exercising" hard all day. How could he not be tired? But how could he be so fit and energetic?

"I was afraid you'd disappeared!" His handsome face came closer to hers, and his thin lips curled into a slightly melancholy smile. The tip of his nose was almost to Sherry's. The exhale between them was audible, and his hot breath blew against Sherry's small face. "I'm afraid the happiness feels like a dream!"

A shiver ran through Sherry's heart. For a moment, she was lost, and her heart ached. Then she cupped his face and said, "Don't make a scene. As long as you don't change your mind, the happiness will never become! Hurry up and get up. Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry!" He said. His handsome face smelled of burning love and his heart was slowly warmed.

She was in a trance and got even more shy. "Get up, stop it!"

"Honey, let's get married!" He said. His eyes burned, but he was very serious. Then he said it again, "Let's get married!"

She froze and looked deep into his eyes. Was he proposing to her?

He didn't seem to be prepared for anything, did he? Shouldn't there be flowers, a ring, and lots and lots of things associated with love? Was he just going to say a few words and trick her into getting married? She blinked and shook her head in disbelief again. It turned out she was so vulgar to think of those things too!

Once he saw her shake her head, he was nervous and even more unsure, "Don't you want to marry me?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She still didn't say anything, but in her heart, she knew that there was no way she could refuse. For she was so in love with him, the daddy of her children. This man, dominant, affectionate, warm, and responsible, she couldn't find a reason to refuse him!

But there was nothing romantic about the way he proposed! Fine! Even if she didn't want romance, she wanted to be in love like all women do!

She had married him before she had ever been in love, and she always felt a little aggrieved and regretful.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, William was anxious. "Are you starting to hate me?"

He was so unsure of himself when he asked, trembling with a hint of worry, and she suddenly smiled. Because he was so cute.

"Idiot!" She said.

"What?" He raised an eyebrow.

"To have nothing, and you want me to marry you? Mr. Rowland, isn't that too good for you?" She looked at her and her smile widened.

He was startled and still a little sluggish. "Don't you want to marry me?"

"No!" She shook her head.

"Then what is it?" He began to get hopeful in his heart, but with a tinge of worry.

"Mr. Rowland, have you ever seen anyone propose like that? Shouldn't you have proven yourself? No flowers, no ring, no candlelit dinner, no romantic declaration of love, and you're asking me to marry you? Just thinking about all the things you've done to trick me before makes me feel very aggrieved ..." She said with a smile, but as she watched the expression on his face change a little, she found him even more adorable.

"Well, is it possible that with these you agreed?" He asked eagerly.

She deliberately thought for a moment, "Not necessarily!"

"Honey!" He exclaimed and pouted. "What does it take for you to marry me?"

"William, you haven't chased after me yet! I haven't even been in love. I don't want to just marry you!" She said with a smirk. "And my dad and brother wouldn't approve of it either!"

At the mention of Clark, William's face froze, and he suddenly became solemn. "Sherry, I'll make sure you're happy! But, no matter what happens, you mustn't hate me!"

"That's not necessarily true. I'm not going to promise you. In case you do something out of the ordinary with my promise, I think I'll hate you." She said this deliberately. What she meant was simply that he was not allowed to cheat on her in the future.

But his face dimmed instantly and suddenly he became sad. Her heart trembled with concern.

But he said, "I won't do anything out of the ordinary. I promise to love only you. For the rest of my life, I will only love you. Even if I grow old and lose my teeth, and we get wrinkles on each other's faces, and you are no longer beautiful, and I am no longer handsome, I will still love you alone! I'll get up every morning and give you a good morning kiss and a good night kiss before I go to bed! I promise to talk to you every day, to listen carefully to every word you say, to do everything you tell me to do! I will not lose my temper with you or yell at you. I will be the first to send my chest for you to lean on when you cry ..."

He said so affectionately. She was also touched by him, and her eyes actually grew moist as well.

"No! I won't let you shed any more tears. I will always make you smile and make you feel that the man you have chosen is the best for you in this world! Even if I have many flaws, I will work hard to change them! Please give me a chance, and let's hold each other's hands for the rest of our lives, okay? Don't hate me, and don't leave me!"

She finally couldn't hold back her tears. Her eyelashes fluttered like a fan, hanging with teardrops, while she was so moved. "No matter what happens, I will never hate you. Never will. I am to live my life with you once and for all. But Mr. Rowland, you're going to be in love with me! I've never been in love!"

...

"In love? Aren't we in love?" He asked sluggishly.

"Are we? Why don't I feel it?" She asked.

Her smiling, tear-stained face was close at hand, and she was looking at him intently. William's heart was suddenly silent at this moment. "Honey! We'll be in love for the next fifty years! I promise to dote on you every single day, like a couple in love, for the rest of our lives!"

She thought for a moment. "Is it that I'll be sorry for your deep love if I don't say yes?"

"Of course! Marry me! I'm sorry for making you cry again!" With that, he used his long fingers to wipe away the tears that ran down from the corners of her eyes because she was so moved. "Honey, lean on my chest!"

She pushed him and wiped away her tears, "I'm not crying. I'm just a little touched! But I don't know if what you're saying is true!"

"It's all true. I promise I can do it all!" He said.

Sherry, however, thought about it again, and her big eyes rolled. She had been repressed herself for too many years and now she seemed to be coming alive. She kept looking at him, then suddenly she was pulling on her nightgown, walking out of bed, running to the bedside table and pulling open the drawer, pulling out that fox mask and putting it on.

William was puzzled. Once he saw that mask, he actually got a little bashful. "Honey, I was wrong! I shouldn't have teased you with the mask on before. But I really couldn't help myself at that time. Apart from the first time when I was helpless, later I really couldn't help myself ..."

"Mr. Rowland, I'm going to wear this mask and marry you. If you agree, I'll marry you. If you don't agree, then just wait until I'm in the mood to say yes!" Sherry’s eyes twinkled. For the first time, she felt so relaxed and felt really happy to be pampered!

She'd had a really, really hard time all these years! Her original nature had been overwhelmed by the harsh reality of life!

But then she felt that God was fair. All human life was fair. God gave you trials and thorns to experience, and he also gave you happiness. And because of the hard life, one was lucky to get happiness!

She didn't mean to be so mean. She just wanted to be pampered and wanted him to spoil her all the time. She didn't dare say for the rest of her life, but at least at the moment, she wanted him to spoil her!

William was both surprised and dismayed!

He was surprised that she had agreed to marry him, and dismayed that she had to wear this mask?

This?

He looked at the mask and suddenly realized how treacherous his wife was. And the fox mask was so ironic that he finally knew what it was to shoot himself in the foot!

"Honey! Let's discuss it, shall we?" His tone was humble. He just looked at her cautiously, and the more he looked, the guiltier he became.

For that mask signaled how vile and hateful he had once been. How could he even think of making love to her wearing a mask? Ugh! He really was so speechless at his own behavior...

After another glance at the mask, he quickly lowered his head and actually dared not look away. The mask made him feel despicable and unscrupulous at all times. It would be a "stain" that would remain unspeakable for the rest of his life.

Whoops ... he was really wrong!

"Yes! You tell me! Discuss what?" She crossed her arms and stood three meters away from him. She was still wearing her mask and her eyes curled in a smile that really looked like a fox at the moment.

"You don't look good in a wedding dress with this mask on. Honey, you only get married once in your life. Let's not wear this, shall we?" He tried to convince her.

But she shook her head. "I remember just now, ten minutes ago, a very affectionate man confessed to me that he would carry out everything I said! I didn't ask him to do anything, just that one thing, but that man actually said no! We're not even married yet, so if we are, you'll be even more disobedient! Forget it, let's not get married! No wonder they say that it's better to believe in ghosts than in this shitty mouth of a man!"

"Honey ...," William's forehead had begun to break out in a cold sweat.

He was beginning to be dumbfounded. Yes, he had said that he would listen to everything she said in the future, but this...

He came up with this great idea and he said, "Honey, people will think how I married a vixen! Vixen is not a nice word. Why don't you stop being a vixen?"

"That's okay! I think it's fine. I'd just like to be a vixen. Vixens are so pretty, and it's not hard work. I love being a fox!" She said very cheerfully. And she bent over with laughter at William's embarrassed look.

"Honey, this is really bad! People call vixens sluts, and say they're slutty!" He tried to convince her. "I ... I'm not disobeying you. It's really not that I'm not listening to you! I ..."
