A Moment in Destiny

Sherry had a quiet life for the next few days. William did not disturb her anymore. A week after the blind date banquet, her life began to return to usual. William and Liam had disappeared.

Dan had just enrolled in an elementary school. Sherry was worried that he couldn’t keep up with his lessons, but the little guy seemed to be at ease. After enrolling Dan came back once a week, Sherry had more leisure time than usual that she was not very used to.

Weekends were the time when the mother and son could get together.

Dan did not mention the matter anymore after he cried that day. Although he did not mention it, Sherry felt that he had changed and was much more silent than before.

She felt pity for her son, but he was already hurt. All she could do was to care for him more, hoping to gradually heal the trauma in him.

“Mommy, why doesn’t Sammy come to our house anymore?” While cooking, Dan couldn’t help himself from asking.

Sherry stunned, thinking that maybe her words influenced William. He would not harass her again. “I don’t know!”

“It’s really strange!” Dan frowned, “I’ll do my homework first!”

“Okay! Mommy will be done with the cooking soon!” Sherry looked back at her son and thought of William- He wouldn’t bring Sammy to their house again, would he?

Soon after finishing his homework, Dan turned on the computer. Last time he exchanged numbers with Sammy and agreed to chat online.

“Sammy, are you there?”

Soon, a message was sent from the other side, “Zai(Yes).”

Sammy did not know how to type the Chinese characters, so he could only type out the pronunciations. He could not recognize as many words as Dan could. But Dan understood what he meant.

“Is your daddy at home?” That was what Dan wanted to know most. It was because he had not seen Mr.William for some time.

“Dan, wohaoxiangqunijiawano(I want to go and play in your house)!”

“Let’s use the voice chat. Reading the pronunciations that you type is too tiring!” Dan launched a video invitation.

After a while, the two children met and laughed.

“Hello! Sammy, can you hear me?”

“Dan!’ Sammy was very shy and sat in front of the computer with a big headset on his ear. “Do you think my dad really likes your mommy?”

“Didn’t you ask him?”

“No!” Sammy shook his head. “Daddy is always in a bad mood recently. Grandpa won’t let him come home!”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Grandpa didn’t mention it!”

“Then your grandfather is extremely strict! He won't even let his son come back home!”

“Yes! I’m afraid of my grandfather, too!” Sammy said as he peeped out the door. “Shh, don’t let him hear that!”

“Ha! You’re talking about your grandfather behind him!”
