âDaddy...â Sammy said as his eyes turned red, âDonât let mommy die, donât...â
âOkay, daddy take it back. I didnât say that about mommy, I didnât say that about anyone!â William surrendered.
âThen you apologize to mommy!â Sammy rubbed his eyes.
âEr...â Williamâs face was turning blue.
Sherry wanted to laugh but didnât. This was the first time that she felt so blissful to be protected by someone. Although they were two of her sons, she felt exceedingly blissful. She felt that she was the most fortunate mother on the face of this earth.
âSammy, looks like your daddy wonât apologize!â
âDan!â William suddenly wondered if he had offended Dan. His deep eyes looked towards Dan and Sammy suddenly said, âWow! Dan has the same eyes as daddy!â
Sherry was stunned and wondered if Dan was the child of William and some woman.
William was also very surprised but he only knew that he had a son who was Sammy. He never had another child with any other woman! He had taken very good precautions and was confident that he did not have a child apart from Sammy.
âSammy, go and play!â William said.
âSammy, I think you should keep your fatherâs last name. Iâll maintain my last name with my mommy.â Dan suddenly laughed craftily. Hmph, how dare he take advantage of my mommy without marrying her? So what if their eyes looked similar?
âNo! I want my last name to be the same as mommyâs!â Sammy threw a tantrum.
William was dumbfounded and said, âSherry, youâve snatched away my child!â His tone seemed pathetic and accused her.
Sherry turned and seemed satisfied with herself but quickly suppressed her good mood, âDonât blame me!â
It was he who couldnât attract his son and he couldnât blame her. But how could Sammy take up her last name? He was the grandson of the Rowland family. She would also not agree to it. As long as William did not do anything too extreme, neither would she.
âSammy, Dan, shall we eat out?â William decided to gain the kidsâ favor and try to get them on his side. From the looks of the current situation, Sherry had the upper hand and he was on his own.
âNo!â
âNo!â The two boys reacted the same way.
William was stumped and rubbed his nose. He became flustered. When did he ever become so pathetic?
âMommyâs going to prepare dinner.â Sherry was even happier now. She grinned happily and secretly rejoiced.
William looked at the apartment. There were only two bedrooms and said, âKids, shall we change an apartment or go back to our house?â
âNo! I want to stay with mommy!â
âBut this place isnât big enough!â William said.
âIâll sleep with Dan.â After saying this, Sammy asked Dan, âCan I sleep with you?â
âYes! Of course!â Dan nodded.
âThen daddy can only stay with your mommy in a room!â William said and looked at Dan. He was certain that Dan would be very nervous and true enough his eyes lit up.
âSammy, tonight you sleep with mommy, Iâll sleep with your daddy!â Dan decided. He was not afraid of William! If he wanted to sleep with mommy, then he needed to marry mommy first!
âOkay! Can I really stay with mommy?â Sammy was very happy and couldnât believe it.
âYes, of course!â Dan said and looked at William to provoke him.
Sherry was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen and felt that something wasnât right. William felt that he wasnât getting anywhere and walked to the kitchen and said to Sherry, âLetâs move to the apartment at the hills.â
âWhy?â She raised her eyebrows.
âBecause I said so!â He said deeply and definitively.
Sherry was washing the vegetables and suddenly her phone rang. She wiped her hands and took out her phone to answer the call. The caller was Celia.
Celia said, âCome out, letâs go for karaoke!â
âBut I canât go out now!â Sherry looked around the house. William stood by the kitchen door looking at her. The light lit up one side of his face while the other side was in the shadows. His good looks concealed his displeasure. His deep gaze stifled anyone looking at him and his hair covered both of his brilliant eyes.
âIsnât Dan staying in the kindergarten? Come out, let's have some fun!â Celia pestered.
âI really canât right now!â Sherry quickly said, âBe good, Iâll go with you when Iâm free, okay?â
Celia relented when she heard this. Sherry giggled as she ended the call. Sherry turned around and looked at William, stopped smiling, and continued to wash the vegetables.
After a while, she looked up and he was still at the door. He was silent, indifferent, and seemed very troubled. She inadvertently looked up and saw his handsome face and thought about what the kids said and his helpless look just now.
She grinned and secretly laughed inside her.
William was wondering who called. Why didnât she say the reason that she couldnât go out? Could it be a man? She once said that she had a boyfriend. Furthermore, she was so happy to receive the call and said coyly that she would go out with the caller. Damn it, when did she ever treat him with the same attitude?
Williamâs gaze looked towards her and saw her grin. Her coy expression was clearly cheerful but he didnât know who was it for.
Suddenly, he frowned with a chilling tone, âWho called?â
Sherry was stunned. From his tone, he seemed to be a husband suspicious of his wife cheating on him. She replied immediately with a foul attitude, âFriend!â
âWhat friend?â
âGood friend!â She glared at him, lowered her head. How was this any of his business? Why did she have to explain to him? Furthermore, Celia was a woman and she had nothing to hide.
âAs a mother, you should watch what you do!â He said with a bad mood.
Sherry was stunned and replied with displeasure, âCrazy!â
He turned around and asked, âWhat did you say?â
Sherry was startled and looked at this furious expression and didnât say another word. She lowered her head and inexplicably explained, âCelia asked me to go out for Karaoke. I didnât have the time to go. I hardly have many chances to spend with Sammy and want to spend more time with my son.â
Even she felt strange why she explained these to him. When he heard the explanation, he was stunned, and then his expression warmed up, and laugh, âHaha...â
With his chuckle, his mood was no longer foul and the atmosphere warmed up significantly as if the cloudy skies cleared and said, âSo itâs Leonâs sister. I thought it was a man!â
She could hear his soft mutter and Sherry looked up and he was looking at her. She quickly looked down and continued with preparing the food.
Williamâs towering frame walked towards her and his slim hands reached into the basin and helped her wash the vegetables. She was startled and looked up. He was witty and humorous as he said, âIâll help you, mother of the kids.â
This title was rather awkward. Her face immediately blushed, âNo... no need!â
She felt very uncomfortable to have his hands in the small basin washing the vegetables together with her. Suddenly his hand touched hers and she quickly withdrew her hands.
âDaddy, are you going to cook for us?â Sammy suddenly ran in and looked at William. Behind Sammy was Dan and William felt that Dan was very crafty.
âUncle, seeing that you are helping mommy, tonight Iâll share half of my bed with you. Mommy, tonight youâll sleep with Sammy. Iâll sleep with uncle.â
âAh!â Sherry was stunned. This arrangement was... very logical. She nodded and then shook her head, âBoth you and Sammy will sleep with me.
Uncle will sleep alone!â
âOkay!â Dan nodded.
âNo!â William shook his head, âI want to sleep with your mommy, Iâm daddy! Dan, come call me daddy!â
âAfter you marry mommy! Itâs too early now!â Dan patted Sammyâs shoulders, âCome brother, letâs go and play a game!â
âOkay, letâs dismantle the robot and then reassemble it.â
âOkay! Iâll teach you how to dismantle the God of war and then reassemble it.â
Sherry blushed in red. She was embarrassed by what the kids said. When she saw his face turn sullen, she said softly, âRest assured that Iâll explain to the kids. You donât have to worry. I wonât marry you. We can be friends and everything can be for the kids. I wonât misunderstand and you must not either.â
William looked at her uncomfortably for a moment. He was unsettled and then said resolutely, âOther than getting married, I can give you everything else!â
Her heart sank, âWhat do you mean?â
âI can be yours wholeheartedly! Except I canât give you the status!â He said solemnly, âPut it differently, you can have a single man, and other than being legally married to you, Iâll give you everything. I will do everything that a husband does and so would you as a wife. Can you accept this? Itâs fair enough.â
She was dumbfounded. She didnât understand, she totally couldnât understand. There was a moment that Sherry thought that time stood still.
What did he mean? Her entire person belonged to him? Did he mean that he would be hers like in a marriage? Just short of a certificate? She wanted to ask him what he meant but she didnât know how to ask.
âDonât understand?â He asked while raising his eyebrows.
She nodded and then shook her head.
âIf you donât understand, then just be obedient!â He said calmly, âBe a good girl who doesnât say too much and donât cause any trouble, then youâll be very happy!â
She really didnât understand what he meant. It was also strange and she didnât understand why. Since he was willing to fulfill the responsibilities of a marriage, then why didnât he want to be married? She really couldnât understand but she decided to forget about it. She should not be involved with a person like him.
âAre you married?â She suddenly asked.
He was startled and his gaze sharpened, âNo!â
âOh!â Sherry thought that perhaps he didnât agree to the concept of marriage, âThen why did you look for a person to bear a child for you?â
He was stunned and his expression darkened. She immediately stopped and realized that she shouldnât have asked such a question. That was his private matters. He had the right to some privacy.
After a moment, she said, âIâll cook now, go out to play with the kids.â
âIâll help you! They can play by themselves!â William didnât say anything else and neither did he explain. He began to take out the vegetables.

William felt that the atmosphere had taken a turn for the better and began to smile.
