A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 101

In spring, nature looked radiant, with flowers and wild grasses blooming all over the mountains.

In summer, the green hills and blue sea invigorated the tourists who did sightseeing here, making it the perfect season to enjoy the alpine vegetation and hiking.

While autumn was a beautiful season when the hills were full of the red fallen leaves.

Hokkaido in winter resembled a silvery white world. The drift ice of the Sea of Okhotsk, beautiful cranes and white swans made up a beautiful natural world.

Hokkaido was always staging the beautiful sceneries, and no matter what time of the year visitors came to Hokkaido, there was magnificent natural scenery to marvel at.

Sherry remembered a TV program that introduced Hokkaido. The images filmed on the TV came to her mind and she couldn't help but long for it.

"Are we really going to travel?" she asked.

William was a little surprised, how come she had to be so careful even if she wanted to go on a trip? She was really a strange girl.

"Have you decided where you want to go?"

"Is it really up to me?" She rarely made decisions and usually deferred to others' decisions. Making decisions was something she rarely did because it might concern someone else, so she never made up her own mind.

William nodded, "Yes, it's up to you!"

"Hokkaido, I think. I found Hokkaido nice from the TV!" She said, "But I've never been on a tour, so I don't have any ideas. You made me decide, so if I mess up, you can't find fault with me!"

She said it plainly, but his heart ached for her.

"You've never traveled before?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind her. She shuddered and almost dropped the spatula.

"You let go of me, I can't fry my eggs!" she complained.

"Tell me, why have you never traveled?" He breathed in her ear, sending a tingle through her ears.

"I don't have time, I've been so busy!" she said. "And my financial situation doesn't allow me to do that, so I haven't been traveling. Does it sound corny?"

She was not so hypocritical, but she was worried that he would laugh at her after she said those words, and her body tensed up all of a sudden.

But instead of laughing at her, he felt heartbroken for her and wondered how she had gotten through the past. Although she had 750 million, she didn't spend a single penny from it, and she raised a child alone, who was only picked up by her. He suddenly didn't know whether the woman he owned was really stupid or really innocent. In short, she made his heart ache, and his heart prickled with an inexplicable soreness. He rested his chin on her shoulder, she was really thin!

"I'll take you around the world, and you don't have to worry about the financial situation. We'll start with a trip to Hokkaido and go skiing in Canada during winter break. And let's take Daniel and Samuel with us!" He already had a plan in mind.

Sherry nodded, "Your plans are all good!"

He still held her and didn't let go of her. Watching her skillfully frying the eggs, he felt satisfied.

"Let go of me, I can't cook!" Sherry's hands tightened, shyly. His breath was so hot that it scalded her ears.

When he was about to release her, he suddenly saw that the ring on her finger was missing and said in a deep voice, "Where's the ring?"

"Oh! I was afraid I'd break it, so I took it off!"

"Put it on later and don't take it off again!" He said coldly with a cocky face.

Sherry was caught off guard, but eventually nodded. "I got it!"

…

After sending Daniel to school, William took Sherry to Hokkaido.

By the time they walked out of the airport lobby, the two of them had become the center of attention.

Just the upright figure of William, coupled with the aura emanating from him, was enough to attract the attention of people around, especially women. Sherry sighed, as the saying goes, beauty is a recipe for disaster. In fact, handsome men are more dangerous than beautiful women.

The handsome man beside her had already attracted the gaze of countless women.

On the plane, those women's eyes were like knives and they couldn't wait to chop her into mincemeat. Shirley thought those women must be jealous, why would a woman as unremarkable as her sit next to William!

Getting off the plane, William's good looks even attracted the attention of the Japanese women as they began to walk out of the airport.

Suddenly, William stared straight ahead. His eyes filled with confusion and he stared sharply at a woman's back, then pulled Sherry aside.

"What's wrong?" She couldn't even keep up with his pace.

"Susan Gill!" William spat out a name in a low voice, without taking his eyes off the two figures in front of him. If the owner of that back was Susan, then who was the man beside her?

William swept his gaze at the people around him and said calmly, "Sherry, did you see that?"

Sherry followed his line of sight and was suddenly a little surprised. "It seems to be the man from yesterday. Susan was picked up by a middle-aged man yesterday!"

"Let's go say hello to them!" William took Sherry's hand in one hand, carried the luggage in the other, and walked straight to Susan and the man.

Susan was momentarily stunned when they suddenly appeared in front of her, her surprise followed by horror and then bitterness. "Why are you here?"

William glanced at the man beside Susan and narrowed his eyes slightly. William was taken aback by the fact that the face in front of him looked a lot like Liam, uh, no, or could say he looked a lot like Liam’s father.

Who was he?

The middle-aged man's gaze landed on William and Sherry's faces, and then he playfully hooked the corners of his lips. He had the same pair of amorous eyes as Liam, a straight nose, and even the red mole on the wing of the nose was the same as Liam's.

If he had never met Liam’s father, William would have thought this man was Liam's father.

"Susan, don't you introduce them to me?" Seeing William and Sherry, the man raised his eyebrows, and when his eyes fell on Sherry's looks, his breath seemed to be taken away by her beauty.

"Okay!" Sherry nodded in agreement. If she told Leon, she was afraid Leon would be even more upset!

But how could Susan be so close to a man much older than her?

Seeing that Sherry was still thinking about others, William reached out and wrapped her in his arms. "Don't think about anyone else's business, just mine!"

His domineering tone startled Sherry, but then she laughed. He was really like a child, so cute.

"What are you laughing at?" William questioned sourly, "You can't smile at others like that! Especially men!"

Because he found her smiling look really attractive. When she smiled, there were two hidden dimples on both cheeks that were very charming. He wanted to keep the dimples as his private collection and didn't want others to see them.

"So should I cry?" she asked rhetorically, unafraid of any consequences.

He froze for a moment, then a devilish smile hung at the corners of his mouth, with a hidden light under his eyes. Good! Very good, his little girl was not afraid of death, and still dared to provoke him. When they get to the hotel, he must give her a severe "punishment".

When he didn't say anything, she asked again, "Don't you think it's strange? Susan doesn't seem to want us to know about her relationship with Mr. Spencer, and she looked very pale just now!"

When William heard her talking about someone else again, he tightened his grip on her hand. Sherry's body stiffened slightly and she sneaked a glance at the driver in the front seat. Fortunately, he seemed to have been specially trained and was just concentrating on driving.

He rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "You're only allowed to think about me and no one else."

…

Hokkaido in autumn was an enchanting place with many maple trees.

Delightful cool weather, autumn breeze, red and yellow maple leaves, intoxicating autumn scenery…

Looking at the red landscape, Sherry exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder many people like to travel. It's really beautiful here!"

But just after exclaiming, she immediately blushed and lowered her head. Was she too ignorant with such an expression?

"Haha..." William laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You're so cute!"

Sherry leaned into William's arms, looking at the endless redness in front of her, she was refreshed and relaxed.

Just, there was an obscure sadness at the bottom of her heart, and she didn't know where it came from.

She always felt that the feeling of happiness was fleeting, so fleeting that she felt everything was just an illusory.

"What's on your mind?" he asked gently.

"It's nothing!" She shook her head, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart.

But his hands tightened around her waist, clearly not intending to let her go easily.
