A Moment in Destiny

"Mommy!" Daniel looked up and saw both his mother and Samuel. He slipped out of William’s embrace and looked up at Sherry, “Mommy, Mr. Rowland was smoking again, but I stopped him!”

“Good boy!” Sherry leaned down to kiss him on his forehead.

William looked at Sherry and cracked a smile, “We aren’t married yet and you’re already controlling me?”

Sherry raised her eyebrows and asked in a mischievous way, “Can’t I?”

William shook his head as he laughed, “Sure, the king approves!”

“Daddy, are you the king?” Samuel asked in a confused manner.

“Of course! If I’m the king, then your mother’s the queen!” William jested

“But doesn’t that mean mommy is your mommy as well?” Daniel shouted, “Doesn’t that make mommy old?”

“Hmph! Runt! I was just making a comparison; your mother still holds the highest authority!” William leaned down to pinch Daniel’s nose, “Now take your brother and go play, I have something to say to your mommy!”

“OK!” Daniel nodded and grabbed Samuel’s hand, “Come on, let’s go play chess!”

The children held hand in hand and headed towards their playroom. Looking as they left, William and Sherry let out a sigh, then Sherry asked, “How are we going to tell Samuel? I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it!”

“So long as there’s love, it’ll all be fine. No matter what, they’re our sons… We have two sons…” William stood behind her and said softly.

Sherry turned around to look at William. His eyes were filled with lovingness. In this moment, he appeared calm and peaceful, even his handsome face exuded a gentleness.

William lowered his head to look at her; she had on a thick sweater, but it wasn’t enough to cover up her slender figure. A heavy winter coat covered her shapely body, but as soon as he stepped closer, her fragrance would captivate him and make him start to fantasize and become excited.

Although she hadn’t slept all night, but her tiny face was still beautiful.

The balcony’s roof was designed to be open in order to see the stars in the night sky. Winter was a bit chilly, and even the scenery seemed desolate.

Sherry continued to stare at him until he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his embrace. Even as she stared at the desolate winter night sky before her, she felt warm.

She fluttered her long eyelashes, and her eyes were filled with a tenderness. Though all the troubles and worries of late made her head dizzy and eyelids heavy, but she still felt excited, because Daniel was her biological son. Whenever she thought of this, she was too excited to even sleep.

“Something on your mind?” She softly asked him.

He said nothing, but leaned his chin on her shoulders and said, “Sherry, there’s a chance that Peter is my brother! My half-brother from another mother!”

“What-” Sherry gasped, “How could that be?”
