âOr maybe we were wrong!â Sherry didnât want to jump to conclusions. At the same time, she was also afraid that it was the truth. What would she say to Celia if it was all true then?
Her expression turned bitter thinking about it. William felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly, âOkay, stop thinking about it. You need to stay calm.
Just leave everything to me!â
âLeave it to you? Can you convince Leon and Sue to make peace with each other?â she said harshly.
He didnât mind her harsh tone and said, âI donât know. But I first need to find out about Sue and father-in-lawâs relationship, then only I can decide what to do!â
âI guess thatâs all we can do for now!â Sherry sighed. She then noticed her bag and grabbed it.
âI have your bag with me for some time now, it was sitting in my car the whole time. I feel like youâre with me every time I look at the bag. Sherry. I was miserable without you by my side,â he told her his thoughts earnestly.
âYou didnât open my bag?â It seemed like he didnât.
âNo! It was your privacy, I couldnât just invade it!â he said.
Sherry smiled bitterly. If that was the case, the album should still in the bag! She opened the bag and took out the album. She placed it right in front of him.
âWhatâs that?â he asked as he arched his eyebrow.
âPictures of you and Ms. Mclean. Please return this to Ms. Mclean!â said Sherry calmly.
As time went by, Sherry felt like she didnât mind the pictures as much as before. Time had past and Sherry finally understood the meaning behind the saying âtime heals all woundsâ. She was now as calm as ever.
But William wasnât, âShit, when did she give you this?â
âI saw this album first. I saw this before I saw the one in your apartment!â said Sherry plainly.
William knew that he was done for. He felt scared hearing her emotionless and cold tone of voice, âSherry, Iâll destroy them right now!â He then took out a lighter and walked to the bathroom.
âThereâs no need!â said Sherry plainly, âJust return it to Ms. Mclean! It belonged to her and she should be the one making decisions about what to do with it!â
âNo! I burned the ones at the apartment already. I donât want them to exist!â he said stubbornly.
âBut William, so what if you burned it?â Sherry sighed and said calmly, âMemories are not something you can just get rid off so easily. You have a complicated past with her, and you guys almost got married! For all these years, nobody could be a part of you guys' relationship! But to me right now, itâs just a photo album! I also have my past. For example, I had a crush on the guy who was good at basketball at school, but that was in the past! Nobody should write off anybodyâs past, we should accept each otherâs instead!â
William suddenly hugged her tightly, his heart was thumping, âSherry, you had a crush on someone else?â
Sherry nodded, âYeah, doesnât everyone have one when they were a teenager? I still remember how handsome that basketball guy was! He was probably around the same height as you! I think I picked up the ball for him once. But I was too far away and couldnât see his face properly!â
âWho is he?â Feelings of jealousy and sadness were brewing in William even though it was just a crush from a long time ago.
âI couldnât remember his name!â Sherry shook her head, âI was really young, I was about 13 or 14 years old I think. It was a wonderful memory!â
âSherry!â he growled.
Why couldnât he accept the fact that she had a teenage crush back then when she was young and naive, and that she couldnât even remember his name? Why was it driving him crazy?
Sherry turned her head and looked at him, âThe past is in the past. Iâve been through a lot and I know that I should stay open-minded in order to be happy! So we shouldnât let ourselves be trapped by the past and we should try to move on!â
âI donât care, Iâm still going to burn this!â He went into the bathroom and lighted the lighter. The album was burned and nothing was leftover. He wasnât heartless, he just really wanted to destroy and forget everything!
The house was then filled with the smell of burnt plastic. Sherry choked and coughed repeatedly.
William watched the album burn until the end and threw the ashes in the toilet bowl. He flushed it away. He walked out hastily and saw that Sherry was in a coughing fit, âSherry, letâs get out. Weâll come back after the room is aired!â
Sherry sighed and walked out of the room. Such an unnecessary thing to do. He was so careful yet so clumsy. Was this really the stern and resolute Mr. Rowland she knew from before? She was dumbfounded.
...
Sherry frowned as she looked at him, he seemed unhappy. She was annoyed, why could he be unhappy about?
âWilliam, everyone has their past. I didnât mind you living together with Ms. Mclean before, but you are depressed now just because I had a crush on some guy whose name I donât even remember? Youâre outrageous!â
âSherry, itâs not outrageous!â he growled.
Sherryâs quiet and serene eyes met with Williamâs gaze. She raised her hand and moved away from his hand that was grabbing hers, âDonât touch me.â
âSherry, I donât mean it like that,â he quickly grabbed her hand again. He forcefully pressed his large body on her and she was trapped between him and the bed, âI just feel uncomfortable that you had a crush before.â
âWilliam, then you should be grateful that I wasnât wild in the past. My chastity was still protected when I first met you, but how about you?â William had a lot of sexual intercourse with different women in the past, she should be the one feeling uncomfortable.
âSherry, Iâm sorry!â he growled. He knew that she was right. In comparison to her, he was the more disgusting one. âAlright! Just promise me that you wonât think about him anymore!â
Sherry shook her head, âWhy should I? You also couldnât forget Ms. Mclean! Stop telling me what to do, I hate it!â
âSherry!â said William as he hugged her, âYouâre mine, I want you to only think of me!â
âYou donât love me, youâre obsessed!â she said.
âI love you!â
âNo, you just love yourself!â she said.
âSherry!â He was still hugging her tightly. She wanted to break free, but he strengthened his grip. She gave up.
William used the chance to lie down next to her. He held her hand tightly and said earnestly, âSherry, love is selfish. But I wonât think about anyone else but you anymore, will you do the same for me too?â
Upon hearing that, Sherry felt an odd and sad sensation flowing through her heart. Sherry stared at him, he was so obsessed. She felt afraid and helpless!
âPlease?â He stared at her. He couldnât help it and wanted to kiss her.
The moment he inched closer, Sherry turned her head. Williamâs kiss landed on her cheeks and Sherry closed her eyes listlessly as his thin cold lips touched her cheek, âIâm tired. Get out.â
âOkay, go sleep! I won't bother you!â he said. He was dejected, she wouldnât let him into her heart anymore.
âIâm not leaving!â he whispered next to her ears. His warm breath made Sherry shudder.
Her soft and supple earlobes made William's heart throbbed. Shit, he got hard!
He growled and wanted to punch himself, âOkay, you should sleep. Iâll go downstairs!â
At night, it was merry at the Sutton family. The two children got back from school.
Sherry wanted to go shower after dinner. She was still smelling like smoke because of Williamâs deed in the morning and felt uncomfortable.
âMom, Iâll be at the door looking out for you!â Dan volunteered. He stood in front of William, not letting him get close to Sherry.
âSherry, Iâll get you your clothes!â
âNo need, Iâll get mommyâs clothes!â Dan didnât even glance at William. Williamâs face turned dark, but Dan was still vigilantly standing in front of the door.
âHey kid, Iâm you momâs man. This is my job!â William got angry, Dan was his born nemesis.
Dan scoffed and raised his head, âI rather have Mr. Fox going after mommy than you. Stop threatening me!â
âWhat? Did Keegan slip you some candies or something?â William blinked and met with Danâs protective eyes. William then had an idea, âDan, but your mom doesnât like Mr. Fox. Your mom will get angry and not like you anymore if you convince Mr. Fox to go after you mommy.â
âHmph! That wouldnât happen!â Who was he trying to bluff? His mother was not that small-hearted. âMom, you wouldnât hate me, right?â
Dan walked over and held Sherryâs hand. His expression turned from provocative to meek, his puppy face pulled everyone's heartstrings, âMom, do you not like me anymore?â
âHow could I? I donât want anyone else but you!â said Sherry. She pecked him on his cheek and said, âGood boy. Protect the door and donât let anyone come in. Iâll go shower now.â
âYes! Go ahead, mommy!â Dan glanced at William smugly.
âYou! When will you stop blocking my advances?â said William coldly. He swiftly went up to Dan and carried him up. Dan was dumbfounded and William threatened him complacently, âIâll send you to Africa and youâll be lionâs feed!â
âI dare you!â said Dan, âMom will hate you to death and you wonât get to marry her!â
This bastard! Williamâs face turned darker, he was so pissed at the child.
âMr. Rowland, Iâm going to sleep together with Sammy and mommy tonight. Youâre not welcome here, please go back!â said Dan as he tapped Williamâs shoulder as if he was comforting him.
âYou are my nemesis. Did God send you here to punish me?â William frowned as he looked at the small hand tapping his shoulder.
âAre you afraid of me?â said Dan contently.
âYes, yes I am!â William put Dan down. Suddenly, his phone rang.
âAlexis, how was it?â he said as he picked up the call.
Alexis was talking on the other side of the phone and the creases between Williamâs brow burrowed deeper and deeper. He glanced at the bathroom door and had another shady idea in his head. He hung up the call and glared at Dan, âHey, kid. Your mom wonât be sleeping with you guys tonight!â
âWhy?â
âBecause she needs my wide chest for love support. You guys are still too tiny!â said William.
When Sherry got out of the shower, Sherry had to make Dan leave after hearing Willaim said, âSherry, Sue and your father had an affair!â
Dan protested as he was being pushed out of the room, âMom, you promised to sleep with us!â
âBe a good boy, this matter is urgent!â said Sherry as she closed the door.
There were only two people in the room now. Sherry said shockingly, âIs it real?â
William dried her hair with a towel and said, âAlexisâ information is trustworthy. Sue was father-in-lawâs mistress for 5 years!â
âWhat!â Sherry trembled and felt cold all over.

âWhat?â She didnât think she could handle another shocking news.
