Both Cohen and Reggie were surprised at Keeganâs unusual actions. They never expected a cold person like Keegan to do something so tender.
Sherry blushed and said, âThanks, Mr. Fox!â She was pregnant and could not drink sodas.
Sherry didnât seem to notice the expression of the other two and lowered her head to drink the water. She was busy with her work the entire morning and had yet to drink any water. She enjoyed the glass of warm water.
Cohen looked sheepishly at Keegan and Keegan immediately came to his senses and explained, âDad, itâs not what you think!â
âWhat do you think Iâm thinking?â Cohen laughed and didnât think that his adopted son would be so concerned about his secretary. How interesting.
Had this kid finally found someone he liked?
Sherry looked so pure and though she already had a son, she still looked so young. It was natural for anyone to like her. Furthermore, Sherry did her work seriously. If Keegan was really in love with her, then Cohen would certainly support him!
âKeegan, Iâll support you no matter what!â
âDad...â Keegan was embarrassed and kept quiet.
Reggie pursed his lips and looked towards Sherry and noticed that she didnât react and just drank the water quietly. She didnât participate in their conversations and he was surprised that this lady was so quiet!
At this moment, a family of three came up in the see-through style lift. A well-dressed lady said to the waiter, âTell your boss that Ashley Jones is here.
Ask him to come out!â
Sherry was drinking the water quietly as she heard Ashley. She quickly turned around and saw the person who she really didnât want to meet, Sierra Anderson.
Cough, cough... She choked on the water and coughed.
âWhy are you so careless?â Cohen gave Sherry a paper napkin.
Reggie raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of where Sherry was looking. The Jones family of three was brought to a table three tables from them. Leon was called out by the server.
When Ashley saw Leon, she immediately laughed happily and yelled, âLeon! I brought my parents to your restaurant for a look!â
Leon smiled, âGreat!â Thereafter he greeted Payne and Sierra, âMr. and Mrs. Jones, how do you do!â
Sierra smiled and nodded, âMr. Hickman, our Ashley keeps talking about you. You, youngsters, should spend some time together. Donât keep working and forget about taking a break, especially you. Why donât you go with Ashley for some horseback riding this weekend? Our ranch just took delivery of a new batch of horses.â
âYeah, Leon, come to our ranch!â Ashley added jovially like a lively princess.
Leon simply smiled.
Sherry lowered her head and maintained her silence.
Keegan and Reggie noticed Sherryâs strange behavior and asked, âSherry, are you alright?â
âIâm fine, I just choked due to my carelessness!â Sherryâs face turned red from the coughing and apologized, âIâm sorry I interrupted your meal!â
At this moment, Ashleyâs gaze turned over and saw Sherry and immediately yelled, âAh! Leon! Sherry is here. The last time we went for Karaoke, she was dragged away by William. Weâve not seen each other for a long time! Sherry! Sherry!â
Ashley began to walk over as she said.
Sherry didnât expect Ashley to recognize her from her back view. She wanted to keep her head low but Ashley already walked over.
âHow do you do?â She greeted the men and then looked at Sherry, âMs. Murray, itâs been a while.â
Sherry stood up and calmly said, âHow are you?â
Sierraâs face turned pale and looked down pretending not to see them. But her eyes looked over to see what theyâre talking about.
âMs. Murray, weâll go for Karaoke again and this time you must not run away! I would like to listen to you sing that song Flower on the Sea!â
âFlower on the Sea?â Cohenâs eyes lit up and his hand shivered. He looked up at Sherry who stood up and his expression turned profound.
Sherry didnât expect this song to shock Cohen this much.
She really didnât know and quickly excused herself from the three men, âMr. Sutton, Reggie, Keegan, please excuse me. Iâll have a chat with my friend for a minute.â
âAshley, come back. This is a western restaurant, donât raise your voice here.â Payne also walked over and nodded at Sherry.
Sherry nodded in return, âMs. Jones, go ahead with your meal. Leon is waiting for you!â
âThen when can we go to the karaoke together?â Ashley asked again.
âSome other day!â Sherry couldnât reject and could only push it off.
âOkay then! Ms. Murray, donât forget about it!â Ashley emphasized before leaving.
Sherry looked at Sierra who continued to droop her head. Sherry felt unsettled, took a deep breath, and walked to the restroom.
She didnât expect to meet her here and tried to bring Ashley and Leon together. Sherry felt amused. She knew that Sierra was influential but when she saw her in person, she felt that Sierra was rather pitiful. Why was she her mother?
After a while, she heard footsteps and turned around. She saw Sierra about ten meters away and walking towards her. She knew that Sierra would come and had anticipated it.
âDonât get close to Ashley, she is a very naive child!â Sherry was amused with what Sierra said. So that was what she came over to tell her!
âI know that you blame me but I had no choice. Things are like this now. Sherry, please try to understand me!â
The air felt stifling and Sherry stared at her calmly with full of disdain. Did Sierra imply that Sherry had a motive to know Ashley?
âWhy do you think that everyone is as scheming as you? Hold back your filthy thoughts and donât see everyone through your lens. I donât know you and we wonât see each other from now on. Donât ever look for me!â
âSherry, Iâm the person who gave birth to you. Will you be happy if you hate me?â Sierraâs expression froze and spoke with a wheeze.
âYou are mistaken. I have no love nor hate towards you. We are strangers!â Sherry scoffed, âIâll make myself clear. My parents are dead. I do not have a mother. If I can do it all over, Iâd rather become an animal than be a daughter of a woman who thirsts for fame. Iâm done talking. You may leave!â
âPromise me that youâll stay away from Ashley! Donât tell her about our relationship and Iâll leave!â Sierraâs face was as pale as a sheet of paper and implored.
Sherry scoffed and raised her eyebrows, âSince when did you see me approach her?â
âI... As long as you donât admit to our relationship!â Sierra heaved a sigh of relief but was still worried.
Sherry shivered when she heard this, âWe are strangers! Do not ever look for me. Otherwise, I wonât guarantee what I will say next! You should be the one who disappears from my view!â
Sierra was stunned and her face went pale. Her expression darkened and both stayed silent. Sherry didnât look at her but felt very remorseful about having such a mother.
Sierra said, âRegardless, youâve already taken away William. If it wasnât for you, perhaps that marriage would be successful... Now that Ashley has some feelings for Leon, even if you hate me, please donât mess this up for her.â
At this point, Sherryâs cellphone rang and it was a call, not a message.
She glanced at Sierra and said, âYour thinking is always so filthy. Do you think that Iâm like you? Always depending on a man?â
Sierra looked at Sherryâs phone which was still ringing and calmly said, âTake care of yourself. I know that you have a child. Iâm not a good mother but I hope that you are a good mother.â
Sierra smiled bitterly and left!
Sherry closed her eyes and saw that William was calling. She suddenly felt like crying and felt that she missed him.
âWilliam...â
âWhatâs wrong?â William heard some displeasure in her voice and was concerned, âWhatâs wrong, Sherry? Why do you sound so moody?â
Sherry walked to the window in the restroom and stood by the window. Her voice remained moody, âNothing, William, Iâm fine. How is Ms. Mclean?â
âSherry, whatâs wrong? Where are you? Iâll look for you!â William was worried.
âNo!â She quickly rejected and continued, âYou should look after Ms. Mclean!â
âSheâs asleep! I already hired a private nurse. It looked like she doesnât reject the nurse anymore. Jesse Wood said that she can be saved! Sherry, I called you because of this news. The sooner she recovers, the sooner weâll be together!â
Sherry felt some hope within her but became even more melancholy. Could she really recover? Even if she recovered, could Lucille leave William?
âSherry, did you hear what I said? Where are you? Iâll look for you!â William felt that it was tormenting every moment that he wasnât with her.
âI have to work in the afternoon. Rest if you have the time or go and see your dad!â She said. She didnât say anything about Sammy as she thought that Old Master Rowland had told William.
âNo! Iâll look for you in the afternoon. Tonight weâll go to No. 15 Villa. Wait at the office for me. Iâll pick you after work! Itâs raining today!â

Predestined Marriage ï¤Chapter 1718: The End âNo need. Iâll take a bus there! Iâll hang up now, they are waiting for me.â Sherry felt re-energized after speaking with William.
âNo! Promise me that youâll wait for me to pick you up and Iâll hang up. Otherwise, Iâll look for you at the office now!â William insisted.
Sherry could only nod, âOkay, pick me up after work!â
âThatâs great!â William immediately rejoiced and then said affectionately, âHoney, donât tire yourself! Wait for me! My heart will ache if you are too hard on yourself!â
Sherry was stunned and her face turned red immediately, âWilliam, are you the William that I know? Itâs so embarrassing!â
What he said was so affectionate and although she reacted that way, she felt very happy inside her. What he said managed to drive away a lot of her gloom.
âBye!â
She was stunned when she returned to the restaurant.
She noticed that Cohen and Sierra were standing in the restaurant looking very surprised.
Payneâs face had turned blue with anger while Ashley looked stunned. Keegan and Reggie also looked dazed and didnât know what happened.
âSierra... is that really you?â Cohenâs voice was quivering.
Sierra lowered her head and bit her lips. Her face was pale as her body shivered, âMister, Iâm sorry, youâre mistaken!â
