A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 97 His Weak Side

He didn’t think that she would take the initiative, and she didn’t think that he would continue. This bastard, didn’t they just do it? Why did he want it again?

His kisses were gentle and sweet, at times provocative. He kissed her chin and then licked her sensitive ear lobes. He licked all over her ears and she trembled. She felt numb throughout and that her strength was leaving her body.

He caressed her flat stomach slowly with his hand. It was hard to imagine that she could maintain her figure so well even after giving birth.

“No!” she said weakly.

“No?” he said as he proceeded to spread her legs apart.

Sherry was stunned, “William, didn’t we just do it?”

Her face flushed as she yelled, “Go away!”

“I want you!” He couldn’t stop himself anymore. He forced his already erect penis into her and thrust aggressively.

For the whole day, they made love with each other tirelessly. Their bodies were connected, hugging each other tightly and ardently.

William spurted his last as he growled in a deep resonating voice. Something warm came out.

After William took it out, he noticed that Sherry had lost consciousness as she laid spent on his strong arms. He smirked and covered her up with a blanket. He stared lovingly at her as he grabbed his phone to make a call.

William said coldly as the call went through, “Did you see her?”

John was on the other side of the call. He was taken aback, but he didn’t deny that he talked to Sherry and gave her a warning. He yelled angrily back at William, “So what?”

“Why did you go to her?” He was angry, the incident had nothing to do with Sherry.

John got even angrier hearing his son condemning him, “Why? Do you have feelings for her now that she gave birth to your child?”

The first thing William asked about was Sherry and not about if he could reassume his position in the Rowland Group. Sure, the girl was pretty, but so what? She sold her body and became a surrogate mother for the money. What was she good for?

“I didn’t allow you to meet her,” said William as he raised his voice. Sherry woke up as his voice carried across the room.

“She told you everything? What a despicable woman!” said John angrily. He hated people who would talk behind his back!

“She’s not like you, she didn’t say anything! I just took a guess!”

“How would you know if it wasn’t for her?” John didn’t believe his words.

William was not bothered to explain, he said, “Samuel is my son. I want him to have a mother. It’s my decision and it is none of your business. You’re just his grandfather, you have no rights over him!”

“I’m your father, I gave you the right to live!” scoffed John, “You and Samuel have no choice but to listen to me, that’s the least you guys can do!”

“I will take Samuel away. Go find a partner if you’re lonely, I won’t object to it!” said William indifferent and coldly, though there was a hint of deep concern in his voice.

“You…you bastard! You want me to betray your mother? Never in hell!” bellowed John furiously. “I won’t let you marry her and won’t let Samuel live with her. I will only accept someone as intelligent and reasonable like your mother to be the lady of the Rowland family!”

“My mom is dead. She died while giving birth to me. I am the culprit, I killed her… Don’t worry, Sherry won’t be the lady of the Rowland family. She’ll just be my wife and Samuel’s mother!” said William in a frigid tone of voice.

Sherry was shaken by his words, William, he…

“You have let your mother down!” howled John as William’s word hit too close to home. “Don’t think that I’ll let you bring Samuel to her! He’s my grandson, the successor of the Rowland group!”

“He’s my son and I know what’s better for him than you!” William grew up without motherly love. His mother died because of him and he had to bear that sin for as long as he lived.

His mother died because of him!

His father lived a lonely life because of him!

He was a sinner, but more the reason why he didn’t want Samuel to grow up without a mother! He didn’t want Samuel to feel the loneliness he felt during his childhood. He couldn’t get his mother back, but Samuel’s mother was still alive, and nobody had the rights to take her away from him! It had been five years, the child had suffered enough.

Sherry was still in a state of shock. She quickly snapped out of it and climbed out of the bed. She put on her clothes and was confused about what to do next. William was arguing with his father because of

her and this wasn’t the outcome that she wanted.

She knew that John wasn’t completely at fault, she was indeed a woman with a bad past!

William hung up the phone and stood in the corridor. His face was extremely gloomy.

Sherry opened the door and saw that he was only wearing a bathrobe. He stood in front of the door with his phone in his hand. She couldn’t help but avert her gaze.

He turned around as he heard something. His gaze softened as he saw her, “You could’ve slept in!”

He knew that she was probably exhausted, because of him!

Her face flushed and she looked down, she stared at her toes as she asked, “Did you argue with your dad?”

“No!” he denied. He hugged her and they both went into the room, “You don’t have to worry about anything. I’ll go bring Samuel back right now!”

“No!” Sherry quickly shook her head.

She really wanted to see her child. She thought about what was best for the child and what she could do for the child. Her thoughts were in a jumble right now.

He was taken aback. He then placed his phone on the head of the bed.

“Don’t blame yourself for that incident!” she said suddenly. She thought about what Mr. Rowland had told her and William’s tone of voice on the phone just now. William was clearly blaming himself and was in agony about it.

Sherry felt a sharp pain in her heart. William said that his mother died because of him. It had been thirty years, but he still couldn’t forgive himself. It still hurt him every time he mentioned it. The incident was

always in the back of his mind, even when he didn’t fully know about what had happened.

He didn’t say anything. Sherry’s words hit too close to home.

She glanced at him with the corner of her eyes. His sexy lips were trembling, and he looked extremely stunned. He clenched his jaw tightly as if he was trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart. His eyes looked dim yet sinister.

“It’s not your fault! What else could you have done?” she said as she turned his head towards her. “William, don’t blame yourself!”

“My mom died because of me and my old man never married another woman. He would be lonely forever. I owe them no matter what!” said William, he sounded desolated. He hugged her abruptly and buried his head into her shoulders, “Let me rest my head for a bit!”

Sherry’s body stiffened up. Her hand was briefly in the air, and then she slowly hugged him tight and patted his back softly. William had a big stature and always looked so strong, but he also had such a weak side to him.

He never experienced motherly love. He could stay strong now, but it had to be terrible for him growing up.

“You…” Sherry felt a lump in her throat as she tried to say something. She didn’t realize that she cared so much for him. She choked as she said, “Stop arguing with your dad. Your dad probably loved your mom very much and that’s why he didn’t remarry after all these years. He must have loved her very deeply. Even though your mom had passed away, your dad will still love her forever and ever! And that’s every woman’s dream! Don’t blame yourself anymore! You and your dad are the ones suffering!”

His body trembled, “You don’t understand!”

She couldn’t find the best words to comfort him. She tried to put herself in his shoes, but she couldn’t understand his pain as she didn’t experience what he went through firsthand.

She could only hug him tightly. She hoped that her small shoulders were strong enough for him to rely on.

He was always so strong, but he could be so frail as well!

He hugged her back tightly as if he wanted to carve her into his body. He muttered next to her ears, “Don’t leave me! If you do, then I’ll have nothing…”

Her heart ached and tears started to well up in her eyes. It hit her soft spot and she answered without thinking, “Okay, I won’t. I won’t leave you. Even if you don’t have anything, I’ll still be with you…”

William listened to what Sherry told him to do. He wouldn’t immediately bring Samuel over. Instead, he would be heading over to see Samuel first.

Sherry couldn’t help but worry about Samuel. He was an introverted child. He would definitely cry if he knew that he didn’t have a mother. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sherry stared at William’s side profile as he drove the car, “Drop me at Leon’s restaurant. I promised Celia that I would be there. Don’t forget to tell your friend to bring Dan back!”

He held onto her and didn’t want to let her leave. She promised him that she would stay with him even though she knew that it wasn’t right. She had to discuss with Celia about the whole decision. She might also have to stay at Celia’s apartment for a bit longer. She needed Celia’s advice about the whole thing!

“Let’s pick him up tomorrow! You belong to me tonight,” he said in a low voice, “Just me and you!”

Her face turned red, but she didn’t say anything as she thought about how fragile he was just now.

“Tell your friend that you are not going to stay in her apartment anymore. You can stay in No. 15 Villa. The deposit book from last time is in the drawer, you don’t have to work anymore!”

“I don’t have to work?” she said dumbfounded. “No, I want to work!”

She was healthy and in good shape, why shouldn’t she work?

“I’ll pay for everything!” he said.

“No, William. You don’t have to do that, I can work and earn money for myself!”

“You are not listening to me!” he yelled.

“This is not your decision!” she insisted.

“Fine, then just stop working temporarily until you find a job under me. You cannot work under anyone else! This is my compromise, otherwise, I will force you to quit your job. You promised me that you won’t leave me, are you trying to go against your words?”

“I didn’t mean it like that!” She felt frustrated.

“What do you mean then?” William purposely twisted her words, “Are you going to leave me?”

“Stop it!” She looked outside the window. Her face was bright red.

William glanced at her and said, “I’ll come and get you in an hour. Wait here for me patiently!”

She looked at her watch and it was already 7 pm, which means he would be coming to get her at 8 pm. “Wait, but you haven’t eaten anything yet!”

They spent all day in bed and didn’t eat anything yet.

“Let’s eat when we get home! I’ll go see Samuel right now!” William was quite worried about Samuel. “I’ll comfort him a little when I get there. Though, you haven’t seen him in a long time as well. Do you feel sad?”

Sherry paused for a while and nodded her head, “I am sad, but I want to make peace with your dad! He was only thinking about what’s best for Samuel and we should try to be more understanding!”

“You’ll get bullied if you’re so nice!” He smiled. He finally smiled.

“True, I always get bullied by you,” she said jokingly.

“Oh, since when did you learn how to talk back? You’ll get your punishment tonight!” he said lovingly.

“Please stop joking.” She felt distressed.

“I’m talking about you making me dinner as a punishment!” he explained himself desperately.
