A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 118

Sherry, however, just said quickly, "Sir, please don't bother me again. You really have the wrong number!"

After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.

Keegan was dumbfounded. This was the second time he had seen her crying today, and she was crying with such sadness and despair. A bad thought suddenly came to his mind. "Sherry, is it that the child's father disowned him?"

Sherry was stunned and did not answer, then she heard Keegan say again, "Sherry, don't be afraid. I'll help you! The child is innocent!"

Sherry was even more dumbfounded. Had Keegan misunderstood that she wanted to have an abortion?

She and Keegan were just colleagues, but at this moment, when he said such words, her heart warmed up. "Thanks ... I can do it myself! I will give birth to this baby!"

"You don't have to be polite. We are friends. I don't have many friends, and I don't usually have many acquaintances besides my adoptive father. I have plenty of time, and I can help you watch the baby!" Even Keegan himself felt a little strange after saying so many words in one breath. This was the first time he had said so much!

His support caused her eyes to heat up again. Once she lowered her head, she had more tears!

"Don't cry!" He really couldn't stand girls crying. When she cried, he was so clumsy that he immediately didn't know what to do! He could only stare at her blankly. "Don't cry, don't cry! Aren't I still here?"

His words, "Aren't I still here", startled Sherry. It was her father's favorite phrase. Yet he knew it too! It was so familiar! It was as if she had a family again. Sherry's heart warmed up. She immediately wiped away her tears and suddenly broke into a smile, "Keegan, you're right. You are still here."

Keegan was a bit baffled. She was changing her face too quickly, wasn't she?

"Uh! Let's get going then! Aren't you going to pick up Dan?"

"Yes! But do you have time?"

William's body went cold as he looked at the hung-up phone. He was in dismay. How could Sherry have cheated on him with another man?

No! She wasn't like that!

William didn't believe it! He couldn't believe it! He dashed out, not caring about the people on the couch, and ran straight out the door.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"Darcy, I have to go out!" He didn't have time to explain and just left!

And the woman on the couch cowered. "William ... don't go ..."

Keegan drove Sherry to the Rowlands' old residence. Sherry didn't expect John to let Samuel out too!

As soon as he saw Sherry, Samuel pounced on her. "Mummy! Mummy! I missed you so much!"

Keegan was dumbfounded! Her another child!

This kid called Sherry Mummy too?

Dan then glanced back at John and noticed what appeared to be displeasure in his eyes, "Mr. Rowland, are you really letting Samuel live with my mummy? I thought you didn't approve?"

John grunted coldly. What could he do at this point? He could only compromise and take the next best choice. This woman was not threatened, and that was all he could do!

"Sherry, take Samuel with you. I allow him to stay with you for a month!" John said coldly, "And let him come back to see me once every week!"

"Ah..." Sherry was dumbfounded. What did Mr. Rowland mean by this?

Seeing Keegan and Sherry come together made John even more angry. He pulled Dan over and went back to the door, avoiding Sherry and Keegan, then whispered, "See, that man over there, he's going to be your stepfather!"

"Mr. Rowland, you're so gossipy! Mr. Fox doesn’t not chase after my mommy! Besides, Mr. Fox is so cool and taller than Mr. Rowland. If my mummy married him, their baby would also be tall and strong, and definitely stronger than Samuel!"

"Brat, even if you want to find yourself a stepfather, leave Samuel out of it!" John said as his brows knitted together. "A good girl doesn't marry twice. You want your mummy to marry two men, huh?"

"But my mummy hasn't been married." Dan said in confusion, "Has she ever been married to Mr. Rowland? Did Mummy and Mr. Rowland ever get divorced?"

With that, Dan's eyes then widened with a very skeptical look on his face.

"Boy, whether your mummy has been married or not, if your mummy is married to another man, she is not a good woman. Do you want your mummy to take the blame for that?" John was, after all, wily and scheming. He had got Dan's curiosity up at once.

"Mr. Rowland, would anyone scold my mummy? Wouldn't that mean that all those ladies who have divorced and remarried are going to be scolded? What's wrong with not being a good woman? Good women are to be bullied! Mr. Big Dick has disappeared on his own, so why should I help him? I want my mummy to marry Mr. Brooks, or if not, Mr. Fox! Yes! Or Mr. Fox! Mr. Fox and Mummy are in the same company. It'll be easier for them to go to work! I won't have to worry about mummy being harassed by perverts. I'm relieved to have such a cool guy to protect Mummy." Dan didn't take the bait at all but talked to himself.

This pissed John off! "Boy, it's an old saying that a good girl never gets married twice. Do you know that?"

"But that's not fair! What's the point? Isn't there another saying? Mr. Rowland, haven't you ever heard that? Celia said so to Mummy: keep your options open." Dan said proudly.

"Ugh! Do you see how cute Samuel is?" Seeing that he wasn't falling for it, John immediately suppressed his temper and began to lure him.

"Yes! Samuel is cute. But he'd be as cute as me if he lived with my mummy, probably cuter than me! Look now, Samuel is turning into a little girl because of you!"

"Brat, why are you always crossing with me?"

"You're the one who's cross with me, aren't you, Mr. Rowland? Didn't you hate me and my mum at first? Why are you being so fawning now?"

"You arrogant boy!" John laughed out loud.

He said this like himself over fifty years ago.

His laughter immediately drew Sherry's attention from outside the door. She then realized that they had been at the door for a long time and had almost forgotten about Dan, and guilt rose up in her.

"Mr. Rowland, you don't believe me?" Dan was still talking to John. "Then wait! Mr. Rowland, you'll have to live a little longer, or you won't see it!"

…

In the car on the way back.

Sherry sat in the passenger seat and the two children were in the back. Keegan drove the car quietly.

The two children were chattering and cheering. Samuel kept talking like a bird that had been let out of its cage. "Mummy, I miss you so much! I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you come and see me, Mummy?"

"Samuel, it's Mummy's fault! Mr. Rowland has promised to let you stay with me for a month. Are you happy?" Sherry's heart was sour. She hadn't expected Mr. Rowland to let Samuel go. but when they had arrived, Mr. Rowland had warned her.

"You're a mother now. You should behave properly and don't get involved with other men, or it will affect the child's physical and mental development!"

Sherry didn't understand what was going on. Only later did she realize that John might have misunderstood her and Keegan. In fact, they were just colleagues who had just met not long ago!

"Mummy, John is not that bad, is he?" Dan suddenly spoke up, "he is like an old kid. I don't know if he'll be sad to see us go!"

Sherry was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Dan to be so concerned about John, yet she felt comforted. "Dan, Mr. Rowland is actually very nice. He's just a bit serious. He’s unhappy because he lost the love of his life!"

"Does Mr. Rowland's mummy live in heaven like uncle?" Dan asked.

Sherry shuddered inside. She hadn't been to see Luke and Dad for a long time and couldn't help but sigh. This time, she was taking her two sons with her, and going to visit their graves together!

Keegan looked at the two children through the rear-view mirror and was actually a little envious of Sherry. She had so many relatives, while he, only had his adoptive father.

The four of them went to the supermarket to do some shopping before coming back, and upon entering the house, they found Celia.

"Celia!" Dan pounced on her, "Celia, I missed you so much! Why didn't you come to see me?"

"Oh, Dan, I missed you so much. Come on, give me a kiss!" Celia said as she kissed Dan's face before releasing him, causing the little boy to itch.
