A Moment in Destiny

William said, “And she has your daddy’s baby in her tummy.”

“Oh, my gosh!” Sherry covered her mouth with hand, trying to stop herself from shouting.

William shook his head and asked, “Could you accept that you daddy will have a new baby even younger than your son?”

Sherry was astonished without saying anything to him.

In the study of Cohen’s house, there was a tall man who was smoking beside the window. He was going blank right then and seemed to forget to flip the much ash from the cigarette.

It was dark at night; Sherry encouraged herself to come to see Cohen Sutton who was lonely standing beside the window.

She was trying to say something but failed to say anything.

This was her biological father.

But Sherry did not know how old he was, what he loved and what his hobby was; she had not yet called him “daddy”, neither asked him how he knew Mrs. Jones. She refused to know all the truth because she hated to betray Clark. Sherry would always keep in mind that it was Clark who raised her; he was her daddy forever.

However, as soon as seeing the lonely man, Sherry still felt some of sad. It might be from the biological relationship; she was still worried with seeing him like this.

She was also selfish to see Susan accompany him for his remaining life. How she wished she could forget the love between Susan and Leon! She hated to be so selfish.

Finally, Sherry called him in a lower and hoarse voice slowly, “Boss…”

Cohen turned around and was surprised, “Sherry, you are here.”

Sherry saw the familiar man but did not know what to say.

Cohen continued to ask with great care, “What happened? You are not happy with William?”

“No!” Sherry was moved by his continuous care about her; she knew he tried to compensate her for his absence for years. Unluckily, she was not a kid anymore.

“So?”

“Susan…”

“Uh!” Cohen’s eyes followed Sherry but not said anything; he was waiting for her to tell him something.

Sherry raised her head to look at him and said slowly, “Susan is pregnant…”

Cohen got stunned by these words; he lost his mind. Susan had a baby?
