A Moment in Destiny

"Isn’t it?" Daniel raised an eyebrow, "That’s how it works on TV!"

"TV shows are poisoning your young mind! Since you’re still a kid, just watch cartoons."

“But that idea isn’t too bad!” Liam nodded and muttered to himself, “We already have a child, but she doesn’t agree. If we have another child…”

Sarah shouted, “What are you saying, he’s just a child, don’t act so childish! Oh, Samuel’s coming down!”

As she spoke, Sherry led Samuel down the stairs.

As soon as they saw their son, they stopped fighting and both rushed over. “Samuel.”

“Hi, Mr. Liam and Ms. Sarah!” Samuel greeted them politely but still held onto Sherry’s hand.

Looking at Samuel’s dependence on Sherry made Sarah feel uneasy and filled her with guilt. Sherry noted Sarah’s feelings and said, “Don’t worry, it’ll all get better over time!”

“Right!” Sarah nodded with enthusiasm.

“Come on, Samuel, let’s see what goodies Liam and Sarah brought you.”

The two boys excitedly rushed over to the snacks; after all, they were kids.

The four adults looked on with contentment as the kids played and ate in joy.

Liam looked at Samuel then at Sarah, then continued to look at Sarah as she radiated a loving, motherly look.

“Uncle, don’t your eyes hurt?” Liam didn’t notice that Daniel was standing before him with a worried look on his face, then he blinked and looked on with concern at Liam.

Liam suddenly snapped to his senses and looked at the large, bright eyes before him. He then got the feeling that these eyes looked awfully familiar.

Everyone was puzzled by Samuel’s sudden question.

“What do you mean?” Liam asked.

“You’ve been staring at Ms. Sarah without even blinking, don’t your eyes hurt?”

“Hah!” William and Sherry burst out together.

Sarah’s face immediately turned red; to think, the kids have even seen through them. She held Samuel who sat next to her and laughed with glee.

Liam wasn’t embarrassed at all; rather he beamed with confidence, “Nope, doesn’t hurt at all! I could stare forever and it won’t hurt! Once you have a girlfriend, you’ll be doing the same thing!”

Sarah’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Liam’s words. Her eyes were wide open, and a wave of embarrassment swept over her.

“Not bad, uncle; the TV shows say, if you want to chase a girl, you gotta be tough and shameless. Looks like you got it down already! Ms. Sarah will be aunty really soon!” Samuel said in a sweet voice.
