âWhat the heck, youâre being so unreasonable!â Sherry Murray shuddered. And after a sustained standoff, she gritted her teeth and said, âArenât you worried about your first love at all?â
He looked at her and smiled, âI just care about you!â
She was dragged into his arms, and in a trance, his strong arms were wrapping around her tightly. Sherry could smell the faint scent of the shower gel on his body, without any tobacco smell. The smell that she missed, and the warm embrace that she couldnât forget.
Thinking that Lucille Mclean had just hugged him, she pouted as she struggled in his arms, âAlright! Letâs eat. Arenât you going to America tomorrow?â
âMmm! Nope, itâs us! Youâre following me!â
âNo! Iâve to take care of the kids here!â Sherry raised her head. âThe two kids are worried about what had happened in the past two days. I havenât been with them for a while. I should spend some time with them now!â
âCannot! Youâre following me to New York. Weâll be back in three days later!â He announced domineeringly.
âNo!â Sherry shook her head. âI canât be such a selfish parent! I need to have some time with them too!â
âStay with them during the holidays, which are coming up soon!â William Rowland said.
âNo! Just go by yourself. And weâll get married when you come back!â Sherry felt guilty for not being with her kids for a long time.
âWhat?â He was stunned, with his attention all drawn to her, feeling unbelievable. She seemed to be talking about their marriage. âDid you just say...â
Sherry smirked and looked at him calmly. âArenât you going to marry me?â
âSo you agreed to marry me?â He looked at her in surprise.
âYes!â She nodded her head earnestly. âLetâs get married! William Rowland!â
He bent his body slightly in excitement and hugged Sherry tightly.
âHoney, I should be the one to propose to you but you did it first.â His husky voice had touched her heart.
Sherryâs eyes were filled with tears. There were no boundaries for loving someone. At this moment, she didnât want to let go of him!
William lowered his head to kiss on her fair face compassionately. He leaned his head on her shoulder, smelling her fragrance. He said in a deep voice with a sense of childish and yet authoritative, âBut I like it when you say marrying me!â
Sherry smiled, and Lucille was almost ready. Sherry and William could stop worrying!
William woke up refreshed at nine oâclock in the morning. He felt something smooth and silky pressing on him. William froze as it was Sherry lying on him. He felt shocked for waking up in such a posture in the morning.
Her black hair was covering her neck, and her face was on Williamâs bare chest.
William still felt refreshing after sleeping for just a few hours. Finally, they had reconciled, and it was all over!
He gave a faint smile inadvertently with the tender affection welled up in his heart.
He reached out to hold her naked body. The soft and smooth skin of Sherry was leading William to a trance. Eventually, he was unable to control himself anymore, lifting her chin and kissed on her lips.
Sherry, who was still sleeping, was like having an erotic dream. In a moment of surprise, she felt something filled her up. She hummed in a daze after feeling the slight pain and pleasure.
William smiled, looking at Sherry. He held her hips gently as he penetrated in rhythmically. She was still able to sleep in this situation unexpectedly.
Sherry moved her body feeling sore, and moaned softly again. The hot and erotic scene of her and William last night was still in her head. As she opened her eyes, she saw a big handsome face.
âAh...â She was startled and then awakened, struggling to get away. But William held her waist, letting her lie on him, and jerked. Sherry drew in a breath, crying out, âWilliam Rowland, you pervert!â
âHoney! Youâre the one lying on me! You get what you want!â William was shameless, not letting her move.
âYou... Nonsense!â Sherry was shy, covering her eyes.
âYou didnât even have my consent...â
William felt funny and smiled wickedly, âHoney, you were so liking it!â
âLet me down!â She struggled, begging him.
He pulled her head down. âNo...â
When it was all over, Sherry covered herself under the quilt, feeling ashamed to look at him as she reminded sullenly, âWhy arenât you leaving yet?
Youâre late for you flight!â
âJust let it be!â William looked at her funny. Sherry was still shy after so many times. âWell, come out, donât get yourself trapped inside!â
After saying this, he went into the bathroom. Sherry then sneaked out from the blanket when she heard the water splashing sounds coming out from the bathroom. She picked up the clothes and put them on, ready to go downstairs. But then, a pair of strong arms hugged her from behind.
âAh... Hurry up! Youâre late already!â Sherry looked at the time, and it was already 11 oâclock.
âI wonât let you go! Just let it be!â He turned her around, facing him. âCome with me!â
âNo! Iâm staying home with the kids. I need to find Celia too! I canât lose this friend!â Sherry said.
As she said, her phone suddenly rang!
...
Then, William went on a business trip to New York. Before leaving, he urged Sherry to take care of herself. She apologized for not sending him to the airport as she was thrilled to receive Celia Hickmanâs call. William was understanding, and so he didnât request her to send him.
In the café.
Sherry met Celia, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Sherry blamed herself when she saw Celia, âIâm sorry, Celia!â
Celia glanced at Sherry, not saying a word. Sherry was anxious. âAre you still mad? I didnât mean to hide it. I just donât know how to tell you about it!â
Celia was still looking at her, not talking.
Sherry looked at Celia cautiously, but she refused to meet Celiaâs eyes. Sherry was feeling guilty. She was afraid of losing Celia as her friend. She was so perturbed for Celia not talking at all.
After a moment, Celia burst into laughter!
âCelia!â Sherry whimpered.
Celia patted Sherryâs shoulder. âYou thought that I was still being mad? I was really mad at first, but not now! It would be pity to break off with you after so many years of friendship. But actually, Iâm missing your two son.â
âReally?â Sherry was dumbfounded. âNot angry anymore?â
âYou think that I would be such petty?â Celia frowned.
âAh! Celia, I knew that you wonât be such petty!â Sherry screamed as she rushed over to hug Celia. âAh! Thatâs great! Iâm finally relieved as youâre not mad at me anymore!â
Sherry finally could breathe a sigh of relief.
Celia was holding Sherry tight too. The screaming of the two women had drawn the attention of all the guests in the café, âLook. Everyoneâs watching us!â
Sherry immediately silenced, looking around, and realized that there were indeed many people looking at them. Her face turned pink. âSit down!â
Both of them sat down.
Sherry hurriedly explained, âCelia, I was shocked too as I get to know about that matter. I was going to tell you about it but I donât know how to open up. Thanks a lot for your forgiveness!â
Celia shook her head, âSherry, I have thought about it. Leon and Susan were not meant to be together. Love is fate. Without fate, the two would never be in love.â
Sherry was silenced too.
Indeed, fate and destiny brought two people together at the right time and the right place.
âMy mom told me that Leon was always heading to the Jonesâ home recently, but Ashley keeps ignoring him!â
âErr!â Sherry then thought of Ashley Jones being pregnant. She wasnât sure if Celia would be angry if she didnât tell her about it. But if Sherry told Celia, that would be her breaking her promise to Ashley. Sherry was now in a blue funk.
âDo you have something hiding from me?â Celiaâs gaze fell upon Sherryâs guilty face. Celia knew well that Sherry was not good at lying.
âI...â Sherry was torn for a moment. And she nodded, gritting her teeth, âWell, Iâm indeed hiding something from you, Celia. But Iâve promised her not to tell anyone.â
âSomething about Leon, isnât it?â
âHow did you know?â
âYou were on the edge of your seat when I talked about Leon. Is it something about Leon and Ashley?â
Sherry sighed deeply, âCelia, I canât tell you... But... Iâm really hoping that Leon could be together with Ashley now. Ashley is a good girl! No matter what, they should be together! Letâs help them!â
âSure! I was just thinking about that. My parents like Ashley too. Leon was always heading to her place recently. But something had happened to the Jonesâ family...â
Speaking of the matter about Sierra Anderson and Payne Jones, Sherry turned pale, feeling dejected.
âForgive your mother, Sherry. She had a bad time after all these years. She looks good on the outside but she was actually devastated. Such kind of living was uneasy for her too.â
âI have stopped blaming for her already!â Sherry sighed, âWhat a poor life she had!â
âWell, thereâs only Ashley left in the Jonesâ family now. Itâs pity for her to support such a big family business.â
Sherry thought of Ashley being pregnant and still needed to take charge of the company. She felt sad too when thinking of herself being pregnant at that time. She was lonely and helpless, with just Celia as her friend. She gritted her teeth and asked suddenly, âCelia, had Leon really been looking for Ashley recently?â
âYes!â Celia nodded. âPerhaps he wasnât having no feelings for Ashley. Seeing him being driven to distraction lately, perhaps he was still unable to accept it about Ashley keep ignoring him! We all hope that he can start over again!â
âThen just let Leon propose to her soon!â Sherry said. Ashleyâs belly would be growing bigger any later, and she might be unable to look good in her wedding dress by then.
Celia smiled, âI canât make this decision anyway. Itâs Leonâs business. Who knows!â
On the other side.
Leon Hickman was again at Ashleyâs house.
The butler saw him and said immediately, âMr. Hickman, Miss Jones has gone to the office!â
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 179 Pure Love The convenient Bride ï¤Chapter 414: There Is Nothing Happier Than This (Ending)
Predestined Marriage ï¤Chapter 1718: The End âUh! Isnât she not feeling well?â Leon was concerned, âWhy did she get back to work again!â
The butler took a look at Leon and said, âWhat to do if she doesnât go? The shareholdersâ meeting is called and thereâs no one to preside over the meeting other than Miss Jones. Itâs hard for her to hold up the family at such a young age!â
Leonâs heart ached, âIs she feeling better now?â
âStill the same. She is always throwing up and seemed to have an upset stomach recently!â the butler said.
âAh! Iâll find her at her office then!â Leon said nervously.
Ashley had been refusing to meet him. Every time Leon came, Ashley was always sleeping or feeling under the weather. He broke in several times and found out that Ashley was sleeping soundly. Leon thought of her being exhausted and always wanted to sleep. So he didnât think much about it.
