A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 100 Sing An Amazing Song

“Up to you!” William got a cigarette for himself and passed one to Liam as well.

Liam called Leon out of the room to ask, “Hey, bro. Cheer up!”

Leon looked at Liam quietly and gave a bitter smile with nothing to say.

Liam slapped on Leon’s shoulder, “Leon, are you ok? Love is so mysterious to always hurt humans.”

William also asked, “Leon, what do you think?”

“I am totally blank in my mind.” Leon said. He might be crazy; he believed he was crazy. He kept missing Susan much for years; even if he knew it was impossible to get her, he could not help missing her.

Leon encouraged himself, “Let’s go singing. I’m sorry to ruin your happiness.”

In the KTV, the noisy metal music was always heard everywhere. Under the dark light in such decadent and blurred atmosphere of their room, Celia and Ashely concentrated on singing a love song; one sang as the male singer while the other one sang as the female one.

Ashely had a sweet voice but Celia got some of wildness in her voice.

Sherry sat quietly on sofa to listen to their singing.

Liam asked her with care, “Sherry, why not sing a song?”

Ashely and Celia pretended to be unhappy with Liam’s special care to Sherry.

Sherry shook her head to say, “I am not good at it.”

Celia passed the microphone to Sherry, “Why not? Just have a try!”

Sherry had a look at William by instinct; he was also watching her with great fondness. Sherry was shy so that her face turned to red.

Liam toasted a wine to Leon and said to Sherry, “Get start! I am listening. Or you have to finish the wine.”

Sherry tried to say, “But…”

Celia suggested, “Please. I know you do well in singing. You can sing your daddy’s favorite song. That is an old song named, oh, Flowers on the sea. You have sung it in the school and many boys were obsessed with you for it.”

Sherry was not glad to hear it. In her high school time, she did sing the song because her daddy loved it too much.

Obsessed many boys? William was annoyed and got his eyes narrowed; he would love to hear it. Sherry saw William have a frown and had to agree, “Ok. I will try. Please excuse me if it’s not good.”

She had not sung any song since her daddy passed away.

“You are so tender to give me a dream. Lying in your arms is just like in the up-and-down waves of the sea. You are so passionate to swing my dream. Lying on your body is just like sticky to the mysterious spray of the sea. My dream comes true; when turning around, just see the world is covered by the huge waves; only grudge is left with water patterns. I wish we could keep company with each other forever in another life. You are so special to ruin my dream. The whole of my life is like a bubble on water, bright but ends soon. My dream comes true; when turning around, just see the world is covered by the huge waves; only grudge is left with water patterns. I wish…”

Sherry was singing with great emotion. Her daddy loved the song too much, so did her; they especially loved the lyrics in which told something about the complicated and uninterpreted affection.

Sherry’s voice was soft and beautiful enough to stun the audience. William concentrated on her singing.

Everyone kept silent when she finished the song.

Sherry was some of embarrassed, “I said I am not good at it.”

She put down the microphone and walked to the sofa to have a seat. Just then, all of them applauded. William decided that he would not allow Sherry to sing a song to anyone except him in the future; she had such seductive voice that he felt excited in his mind.

Ashely said with a smile, “I like you singing. It’s really amazing. In fact, my auntie also loves the song and always listens to it at home. Sherry, it’s fate that brought us together.”

But Sherry was some of uneasy about her words. She knew her daddy loved the song, so the woman should love it for sure.

William came to sit beside her. Then the others started to sing and Celia and Ashely’s voices were heard one after another.

Liam and Leon kept drinking.

Sherry kept aware of William who sat too close with her. She had to get back to avoid him.

William was unhappy with her move and said with a frown, “Sit nicely. You will fall down for getting back further.”

Sherry said in whisper, “Please keep some distance.”

William gave a short answer, “Be nice, baby.”

Sherry looked at him to find his beautiful eyes which were trying to attract her.

She was nervous and shy, with hands being held closely.

William continued to say in lower voice, “Don’t sing the song anymore.” But Sherry did not hear it due to the others’ loud singing. She asked, “What did you say?”

William got closer to her and cuddled her soon. Before Sherry realized what William was doing and failed to push him, she fell down on him. Sherry was indulged in his special smell right then and there. How could he do it in the public?

However, William whispered to Sherry, “Don’t sing the song to anyone else!”

She was stunned, “Ah?”

He continued to say, “You are so special to ruin my dream…”

What did he mean?

He said, “The song is only for me!”

At that moment, Liam turned to see the lovely couple, then winked and had a drink. After all, he stood up to join Celia and Ashely to sing the song, “It’s my turn.”

Everyone here was happy to sing and talk except Leon who had a lot of wine but could not be soberer. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

William whispered to Sherry again, “You are mine. You cannot sing the song to anyone else. I don’t allow the other man to hear it.”

Her voice was sexy enough to make him sexually excited.

Sherry got William’s breath on her ear as well as having some special feeling in her mind. She had to push him away and had another seat.

It was too noisy in the room; William took her out of the room.

Sherry rushed to say, “Hey, everyone is still here. It’s not good…”

William frowned to say, “Not good?”

Outside the room, he got her face to kiss on her bright red lips. What a French kiss!

It greatly surprised Sherry. She had to say, “William, stop!”

He asked, “Why?”

She was unwilling to talk more and push him to say, “We have to go back.”

William said, “No, we are going home.”

Sherry said, “My bag is in the room and the party doesn’t finish. We cannot leave now.”

“I go to get it.” William did not care about her words and went back to get her bag.

In one minute, he came back with her bag. Sherry could not do anything, only saying, “Celia will blame on me for my rush leaving.”

William said, “Take it easy! I am here with you. Let’s go home. Please prepare something to eat. I am so hungry now!”

Sherry asked, “You had some steak for the dinner.”

William caressed her head and said, “It’s not yummy. I prefer what you cook for me.” Sherry always prepared delicious food for him; he started to refuse other food.

She was worried he was not feeling well for hunger, “Ok, Let’s go.”

William was happy with the result. He saw the lovely lips he kissed just then; before they leaving, he could not help giving another kiss and let her go.

“Mommy? Wow, here is so big as Uncle Alexis’s house! I love here!” Dan screamed as soon as coming into the villa.

William asked, “Do you like it?”

Dan said with a nod, “Sure. But where is Sammy? Can you have Sammy here?”

William squatted down to see Dan’s eyes and asked, “Did you meet grandpa?”

Dan answered, “Yes. But I don’t know it so difficult to talk with your daddy. He did not listen to me at all. Uncle, I don’t like him. He cannot laugh; how poor he is!”

Dan’s answer inspired William to think it over. His daddy could not laugh; how poor he was!

Exactly!

How long hadn’t he laughed? In his memory, his daddy had never laughed; he should have really hard time! William did not expect a five-year boy told the truth to him.

William started to understand his daddy; if he took Samuel away, daddy would have to…

He refused to think further!

William turned to pat Dan’s head and said, “Dan, let’s eat something first. After the meal, I will drop you off school. Your mommy will have a trip with me. On the weekend, Celia will pick you up from school. It’s ok for you?”

Everything was arranged well, but William still asked for Daniel’s opinion.

Dan asked him instead of answering his question, “Uncle, do you really love my mommy?”

Sherry was getting down from the second floor and listened to Daniel’s question at the corner of the stairs; she stopped to listen more.

William watched the lovely Daniel who asked a serious question; he gave a nod.

Daniel said happily, “I’m glad to hear it. Don’t worry about me. I will be nice with Celia. Enjoy your trip.”

Sherry did not know William’s answer and got fast heartbeat.

Last night after they were home, William and Sherry had wonderful time; Sherry felt like a woman in love and could not be happier. However, he had never talked sweet words with her; she felt embarrassed to ask him. Sherry had to believe that it was not bad for them to get along in the way.

After a deep breath, she came got down to the living room.

William and Daniel turned to see her. Just the moment, Sherry had both of them in sight, just mistakenly thinking they were real daddy and son.

She said, “I am going to cook.”

Daniel whispered to William, “Mommy is shy!”

“Brat, you know it?”

Daniel said proudly, “Sure. I am smart. My teacher always says I am smart.”

“Go to see your bedroom upstairs. I have it decorated. Sammy and you both have your own room there.”

Daniel rushed to the second floor, “Ok. I cannot wait to see.”

William came to talk with Sherry while she was frying eggs, “After Dan goes to school, shall we have a trip to Hokkaido?”

Sherry was doubtful, “Why to have a trip?”

“We are between the jobs. Why not get relaxed in a trip? I planned to take you to Italy, but it takes much time on the plane. I am afraid you will be too tried, so it’s wise to go to Hokkaido. Or how about Jeju? Which one do you like?”

Sherry turned to see him.

William asked her which one she would like to go. Her opinion played an important part? She just said, “Up to you. I don’t know.”

Sherry had never travelled before. She did not have money, neither had time. She was too busy with part-time jobs without any fun in spare activities. How would she make a better choice between Hokkaido and Jeju? Finally, she remembered Hokkaido was more recommended in the TV show and she also loved the peaceful life there.
