A Moment in Destiny

Standing quietly, that cool little face was emotionless and was calm. The dark pupils were filled with strange emotions and looked exactly like himself.

“Master, your father misses your mother a lot. Don’t blame him and it had nothing to do with you!” Mrs. Howe comforted him as she wiped his tears.

How much of the father’s words could a five year old child endure? Mrs. Howe tried to comfort William but the small boy shook his head.

“Mrs. Howe, I understand. I know that I lost my mother when she gave birth to me. It’s my fault! It’s all my fault!” The voice of a five year old child should be innocent but his was mature and rigid. William turned and walked into the garden. Even the sun could not warm up his loneliness and burden.

“What are you thinking of?” Dan didn’t receive his answer and asked again.

Dan’s words broke John’s train of thought and once he came to his senses, he looked at those eyes and his heart strangely ached. Vivien, why do this child’s eyes look so much like you?

John felt every part of him ache when he thought of his wife.

“Mr. Rowland, what are you thinking about?” Dan was puzzled and looked at him. What’s wrong with him?

John came to his senses and looked at the child again as he shook his head, “Boy, what is your name?”

“Didn’t I tell you?” Dan remembered that he had told Mr. Rowland his name.

“Maybe I’m old and can’t remember!”

“You are not old!” Dan pursed his lips, “Our guard at the school is older than you!”

“Ha!” Perhaps it was due to what Dan said, John grinned again and felt strangely close to him.

At this moment, a child’s cry could be heard from upstairs. It was Sammy’s voice.

“Old man, you lied, you are not a good person!” Dan frowned and rebuked. “Sammy is upstairs. You lied to me that he is overseas. Liar! Shame shame!”

“What?” John’s face turned red and felt like he had been caught in a lie. It was the first time someone had said that to him. After a long while, his expression changed, and said, “Go home and tell your mommy that Sammy is the grandchild of the Rowland family. It was agreed in the beginning and she must not renege on the agreement!”

“What renege?” Dan asked, “My mommy will not renege. I’m going to shout to Sammy! Sammy! I’m Dan. I’m downstairs, come down quickly!”

The cry paused for a moment and then became even louder, “Waahhh…”

John frowned even more, “Cry cry cry, you only know how to cry…”

“Sammy, come down!”

John endured his discontent and shouted, “What are you crying for?”

Suddenly it fell silent and only sobs could be heard.
