She suddenly forgot how to cook with him around. She was flustered. The frying pan heated up but she forgot to turn on the cooker hood and she forgot to cut the vegetables. He quickly turned off the fire, âBe careful, you almost started a fire!â
Sherry came to her senses and said, âGo out, I can handle it on my own.â
She was nervous and uncomfortable because of his presence and even forgot how to fry the vegetables.
âIâll help you! The vegetables havenât been cut. What are you thinking about?â William was puzzled and looked at her. He walked over to cut the cucumber but the cucumber was too small and his hands were too large. They were too slippery when he held onto them. He also didnât know how to cut them. When he sliced down, the cucumber was simply split into two.
âIâll do it!â Sherry looked at his clumsy actions and couldnât imagine that he was a venerable businessman in the industry. Looking at his hands, it was clear that he never did chores and remarked that everyone had their strengths and merits.
William frowned, âIt looks easy but why canât I cut it?â
âHow do you want them cut?â She asked.
âSlices.â He said and handed the knife to her.
âOkay!â She positioned the cucumber and started to slice them.
He looked on as the cucumber started to be thinly sliced by her lively hands. He was surprised at how nimble her hands were.
His heart ached when he thought about her returning the entire 7.5 million yuan to him and asked, âDo you like doing housework?â As he said, he looked around the tidy apartment which reinforced his opinion.
She was stunned, stopped and placed the cucumber slices into the plate, and answered, âYes, somewhat.â
After saying this, she felt strange about their interaction. It felt good that they did not quarrel.
Sherry smiled as she looked at him, âYou never did any housework, have you?â
He laughed immediately and was more charming than before. Sherry was stunned when she looked at his smile. This man was dangerously dashing and handsome. She quickly lowered her head and started to blush.
He looked at her intensely, âYou sliced them very well!â
âErm!â She was flustered and looked directly into his eyes. Both of them were dazed and didnât know that they had fallen into each otherâs hearts.
He suddenly laughed and she came to her senses and lowered her head.
âYou must be very happy tonight.â He said.
âOf course!â She was definitely happy to have finally found her son and continued, âI will be very happy every day as long as you donât hide Sammy from me.â
âOh? Really?â He was startled and pondered deeply.
She suddenly felt the conversation very strange as if they had known each other for a long time. Even she felt that something was abnormal. In front of him, she will always lose control of her emotions. Normally she didnât like to speak much especially in front of âstrangersâ. But when she was with him, she kept getting angry. Before she knew about his connections with her, she already had those inexplicable mood swings.
Strangers? She stared at William and wondered if he was a stranger.
He was and yet he wasnât...
She quickly shook her head and thought about a scene in âThe Dream of the Red Mansionâ when Jia Baoyu first met Lin Daiyu and said, âI know this young lady!â
She felt her face heat up and realized that she must be blushing.
She quickly looked down in order to hide her sudden embarrassment and quickly said, âYou wonât hide him from me, correct?â
He stared at her face and wondered why her face became so red all of a sudden. The pair of red cheeks tugged his heartstrings once again. He didnât like that kind of feeling. He only once had those feelings for Lucy. But Lucy was gone, gone, gone! He took a deep breath felt that he needed to smoke!
âI wonât hide him from you!â He declared like it was a promise to her.
âThanks!â She looked up and thanked him sincerely. The lights shone on her face and her fair complexion revealed two round red patches. Her eyes were clear, contented, and serene.
She began to fry the vegetables and made cucumber with egg soup. The dishes were simple but beautiful.
He continued to look at her silently. She handed the dishes to him and said, âTake them to the dining table.â
âOkay!â He did as he was told.
The next morning, William sent the kids to the school and kindergarten and Sherry went to work.
William slept by himself on Danâs small bed while Sherry slept with the kids. She felt very blissful to have two kids for the first time.
The television on the public bus was broadcasting the news. Sherry happened to sit under the television and didnât take notice of it initially. But then she heard âThe CEO of Rowland groupâs authority had been rescinded and William was no longer the CEOâ, she was shocked!
Why wasnât he the CEO of Rowland Group anymore?
The scene turned to William facing the reporters. William was calm and collected while frowning tightly and said, âNo comments!â
Sherry was dumbfounded.
At this moment the reporter explained that it was because William had rejected his arranged marriage with Jones Chemical Corp and enraged his father. In his anger, old master Rowland rescinded Williamâs status as his successor. William even said to the media that he will never get married!
It was as if Sherryâs brain exploded. Was this the reason why he said that he will never get married? She continued to stare at his towering body being surrounded by numerous reporters. No wonder he looked so fatigued when he came back yesterday and his clothes were also creased. So it was because he was surrounded by reporters. He was no longer the CEO of the Rowland Group?
As Sherry was digesting this news, the scene changed to a stern-looking old man in a business suit. He frowned as he walked in front of the reporters and appeared to be very frustrated.
âMr. Rowland, do you really intend to change the successor of the Rowland group?â The reported pestered.
John didnât say a word and his thin lips were tightly pursed. His bodyguard pushed the reporters aside and he disappeared from view. It looked like a press briefing and could it be that he really was...
She didnât dare to think any further! Change the successor? Sherry was dumbfounded and she didnât even realize that the bus had reached the final stop.
âMiss, weâre at the final stop!â The driver announced.
Sherry was shocked to her senses. Where was she? Sherry paid again and took the same bus back.
She called Williamâs phone but no one answered. Sherry became nervous immediately. What was he doing now? Why didnât he answer her call? She called after a while and still, there was no answer.
Sherry sent a message, âAre you alright?â
She remained troubled after sending the message. To think that something so big happened yesterday. Was his father the reason why he didnât want to get married? Was it true when the reporter said that William will never get married?
He even said that other than the marriage certificate, he could give her anything! Was it because he was helpless and had to choose that kind of arrangement?
When she thought about this, Sherryâs heart suddenly ached and her hands tightened. She thought about how he was injured when he saved her after her cell phone was stolen. She suddenly became very sad.
She called Leon to apply for leave and not work that day. She knew that it wasnât appropriate to keep applying for leave but at that moment she only wanted to see William and ask him was it because of his father that he didnât want to get married. Additionally, she wanted to tell him not to quarrel with his father. She remembered the look on his father. How could an old man tolerate the disobedience of his son!
Sherry called Liam just as she got off the bus. This was the first time that she called Liam, âLiam, had the CEO of the Rowland group really been replaced?â She felt that her voice was quivering when she asked.
âOh Sherry, itâs you. Yes, the director has personally taken up the position. Will had been suspended!â Liam also sounded tired. Without William, he had to do most of the work.
âThen, is he at the office?â Sherry asked again.
âWill?â Liam didnât expect Sherry to be so concerned about William. Previously they behaved strangely whenever they interacted and it was William who was making things difficult. He never expected Sherry to be concerned about William and now she called him to ask about William.
âYes! Is he at the office?â
âHe isnât here. I donât know where he is!â Liamâs voice sounded downhearted.
âOh, thanks, Liam. Bye.â She quickly ended the call as she noticed that she had received a message.
Her heart skipped a beat as she opened the message as it was from William. There were only the words: Iâm fine.
But somehow she felt that the reply was forced. She quickly called his phone but he didnât answer. Sherry felt strange that he didnât answer the call.
She quickly sent another message.
Sherry: Where are you? Iâll go and look for you!
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 85 Itâs Too Early After a long pause, he replied.
William, No need!
He rejected her! Sherryâs heart was racing and didnât know why she was so concerned for him. Her heart seemed to be bound and wanted to see him so that she could ask him personally if he was alright.
But where was he?
Sherry suddenly realized that she didnât understand William. Although she had a son with him, although they were once colleagues, she totally didnât understand anything about him.
Was he at MH residence or at no. 15 villa?
She decided to look for him regardless. She couldnât be sitting on her hands and wait for him!
The car stopped at MH residence. It wasnât easy for her to enter the high-end residential complex. Sherry spent a long time explaining to the guards before they let her in. She only had fifteen minutes and must leave if she couldnât find him.
Based on that nightâs memories, Sherry found Williamâs apartment and knocked on the door. Her hand gently knocked on the door but her heart pounded heavily. Was he here? Could he be here? She had to leave after knocking for a long time and no one opened the door.
She then went to the no. 15 villa and there was a black Bentley and a Sapphire blue Bugatti parked in the courtyard.
Was he there? Sherryâs heart almost jumped out of her throat. She ran over and pushed open the door. The door opened and there was a pile of cigarette butts on the coffee table but no one was there!
âWilliam! Where are you?â She yelled.
Her voice echoed in the huge room and suddenly she felt very cold. The villa was huge, felt unwelcoming and cold.
âWhy are you here?â Suddenly a tired voice said calmly from behind her.
