A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 171 Friendship Crisis

"Then it is settled! Don't you think it has so much meaning to get married with a mask on? If you really can't accept that, you can wear it! I really have nothing against it, but I will definitely wear this mask and get married in church!" She announced in all seriousness, and she was really happy about just seeing the embarrassment on William's face.

She didn't know how good it felt to be spoiled by the man she loved, and she was getting addicted to it now!

"Wifey!" He felt a different tidal bore in his heart as he watched her laugh, he had an idea, he wasn't afraid that she won't give in, he will not allow his wife to wear a bridal dress and a fox mask to get married to him! He was afraid people might wonder why they got married with the mask, he was afraid people might assume that he had his own special fondness.

"Come over!" He suddenly said to her in his hoarse voice.

Sherry was surprised, as if she suddenly realized something, she swallowed, "What is it?"

He looked at her, the mask woke some strange emotions in him, and he suddenly got up, the blanket slid down and exposed his strong and elegant naked body, and his particular part was now erected.

"Ahh, William you hooligan!" She screamed and tried to run away.

But he grabbed her by the waist.

"Ahh! Uhh!" Her mouth was blocked by him.

Even through the mask, that limp and numb feeling made Sherry blush.

"Can we please drop the mask?" William said through his warm kiss mixed with his strength.

His sexy lips wrapped around hers, his tongue covered her mouth, and they were kissing deeply.

"Okay?" He asked again.

"No..." Her voice was soft.

"Please?" He asked again, kissing her whole body.

"No, I won't give in just because you are begging me this way, I can also just not get married to you at all!" She said, and in her heart she told herself not to give in, ever!

Finally, Sherry took down her mask, "William, stop it, I am hungry, don't you hear my stomach?"

Sherry was really hungry, she looked at the time, it was already two in the morning.

In that moment, her stomach started to rumble.

"I am hungry too!" He said helplessly, but he felt sorry that she hadn't eaten yet, he tired her, "I will call for take out!"

"Where will you get take out at this time!" She was speechless.

He looked at her red face, and his expression softened, "I will cook for you!"

"Okay, I want to eat your cooking!" She said.

So he got up, threw on some clothes and went downstairs to prepare food.

Half an hour later, he still wasn't back, so Sherry went downstairs as well.

William was standing in the kitchen, staring at the ingredients and dreaming, his brows were knit, as if he didn't know what he had to do next. She remembered that he didn't even know how to wash the vegetables, before he almost destroyed the vegetables while doing so, how could she allow a big boss like him cook.

She rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Let me."

"No!" William turned to look at her, he didn't realize how long he had already been standing there, "I said I was going to cook for you!"

"Master, please let me eat something first before I have to wait for your breakfast tomorrow morning, it looks like you won't be done until then, I am afraid I might pass out before that!" She laughed and shook her head, but she was touched that he wanted to do this for her.

"You can teach me, this can't be too hard." It couldn't be harder than the business world, he didn't think so.

She looked at his beautiful face with the confused mind written on it, and stood on her toes to give him a kiss, "Alright, babe, you can go and take a rest, I will take care of this."

William was surprised and happy about her being so forward, changing from being so passive to being active towards him, but by then she already let go of him and started to work.

William touched his lips like a silly little boy, and stared at the busy woman right there, and felt a deep happiness.

Ten minutes later, Sherry was done with some scrambled eggs and two bowls of noodles, then she added some coriander on it, "Come and help me carry this!"

He took the bowls and looked at the coriander, then knitted his brows but didn't speak.

The two of them sat down and Sherry said, "Just go with this, it's took late and I was about to pass out from hunger! Why are you not eating?"

William shook his head, "I don't eat coriander!"

"What? How could this be! Daniel doesn't like it either!" Sherry laughed, "William, sometimes I wonder if Daniel is your child that you abandoned!"

"No ways!" William denied, and then said very seriously, "Sherry, I am not such an ass, don't think like that about me! But you don't have to worry, even though Daniel is not my own child, but I will love him just as much!"

"I wasn't worried!" Sherry laughed, "Your Dad treats Daniel better than Samuel, maybe he really likes Daniel! Our son is too shy compared to Daniel!"

"That's my fault!" He said, "If he grew up with you, maybe he wouldn't have turned out like that. Now he is much more active than he used to me! We have to be confident!"

"Yeah!" She nodded, "You should eat some coriander, it's good for your health!"

"Nope, I will get an allergic reaction!"

"Daniel does as well!" Sherry said again.

"Then let's just pretend he is my son..." --

Cohen took Susan to the mall to buy some baby things, who knew they would run into Celia.

Celia looked at them shockingly, as Cohen put his arm around Susan, careful and afraid she might slip, it was such a loving gesture, and it shocked Celia.

She went to them, "Mr.Sutton, Sue! It's you!"

She noticed that she was speechless, and in her heart she already had a bad feeling, but she had to make things clear.

"Celia?" Susan was also surprised as she looked at her, "Are you here for shopping?"

"Hey, it's Celia, if you have time you should come over for a visit, I still have to thank you for taking care of Sherry and Daniel all these years, I really have to thank you for that!" Cohen said laughing.

"Oh, that's alright!" Celia tilted her head awkwardly, "Mr.Sutton, sorry but I need to talk to Sue!"

She pulled Susan to the side, "Sue, why are you with Mr.Sutton? You two? Why are you buying baby stuff? Are you pregnant?"

Susan bit her lips and suddenly said, "Celia, you don't have to guess anymore, just like you saw, he is the father of my child!"

Celia felt as if her head exploded! She couldn't believe her, "Sue, you..."

"Celia, I have already started my new life, I have decided to stay with him, to raise our baby, and to live my life!" She said this to break off with her old life, she really wanted to start new.

"No!" Celia shook her head, "I don't believe this, I don't!"

"It's true, even Sherry can accept it!"

"She knew?" Celia said in a high pitched voice, "Why didn't she tell me? She knew that this baby will be her sibling?"

Susan nodded and explained, "You can't blame Sherry for it, it was me who told her not to tell, you should blame me!"

Celia couldn't believe her, "How can you be with him, he is so much older than you! He is Sherry's Dad!"

"15 years aren't much!" Susan said calmly.

"So all these years, you and my brother only... because of him...?"

Susan didn't answer, so she must have agreed!

Celia said angrily, "So you like those old men and not my brother, is it because he has more money?"

"Celia! You should be happy for me!" Susan said calmly.

"No! I can't! Does my brother know?" She asked.

"Maybe!" Susan answered.

"I know!" Celia turned around, "I got it!"

"Celia!" Susan wanted to call her back, but she was already gone.

"What happened?" Cohen came to her, not understanding, "What's wrong with Celia?"

"Nothing."

Celia ran out of the mall and ran into Keegan, who just parked his car, "Celia? You..."

"Keegan!" Celia paused, and looked at him angrily, then she kept running! --

When Sherry picked up Celia's phone call, she heard her cold voice on the other side of the line, "Sherry, how long have we been friends?"

"Celia?" Sherry's heart twitched, "What happened?"

"Answer me!" Celia's voice dropped even colder.

"Ten years!" Sherry said.

"Then why didn't you tell me that Susan is pregnant with your Dad's child? Do you have any idea how much I hoped she would become my sister in-law?"

"Celia, I..." Sherry didn't know what she should say, she panicked, she knew that Celia would be sad about this.

...

"Sherry, you need to give her some time to accept it, Celia needs time!" William looked at Sherry worried, "If you want to find her like this, you might not find her at all!"

"No, William, you don't know her, she isn't mad about Susan, she is mad that I didn't tell her, she must think that I lied to her on purpose!" Sherry was worried about it and took her phone, but the number was already unreachable.

Sherry was standing on the street, her heart dropped, she was very anxious and worried, Celia must be really angry! She really didn't do it on purpose!

She lowered her head to look at her phone, then she called the Hickman's house, but Celia wasn't home, then she called Leon's phone but couldn't find her either, her own phone was turned off!

William looked at Sherry's pale face worried, they looked for her outside for a long time, but couldn't find her, he knew that Celia was really important to her!

Sherry sighed and mumbled, "I really cannot lose her, she has to forgive me!"

He didn't say anything, only reached out a hand to hold hers.

Suddenly she felt his hand around hers.

The way he crossed his fingers with hers, that close gesture, the way he held her hand was as if he was trying to give her strength, the temperature of his hand was warming her heart.

But, who was giving Celia strength now? She must be really hurt, and as she thought about that, anxiety filled her whole world. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Let's go home, it won't be helpful to just run around." William said in a lowered voice, and pulled her towards the crowd to the car.

"But..." Sherry was in a low mood, she pressed her lips together and didn't speak again.

She felt very confused the whole time because she couldn't reach Celia, she wasn't calm at all, and her brows were knitted tightly, she couldn't relax.

Celia's words were playing over and over again in her head, it made her feel so scared. She only had to remember that she said "Sherry, what kind of a friend are you" for her to feel the guilt again, for her hands to start sweating.

Right, what kind of a friend was she?
