SWNOVELS Chapter 168 Too Coincidental
"Ugh!" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Dan glanced at Sammy as if he was looking at an 'idiot'.
"Oh my God!" Sherry looked down at Sammy and exclaimed, "Sammy, who's Alba?"
"My friend. She doesn't have a daddy or a mummy. Alba is so pathetic, isn't she? I'm going to marry her. I'll keep my word!" Sammy said seriously.
John shook his head.
"What's so great about a nymphomaniac? I wouldn't get married!"
Everyone turned back and looked at Dan.
Dan shrugged and said coolly, "Mummy, don't marry him. I'll marry you when I grow up! Don't worry, your son only wants you in his life, not his wife!"
"Ugh!" Sherry laughed dumbly.
"How would that work?"
"I won't have you doing that!"
William and John both spoke up.
William had gathered everyone here today to talk about the wedding. But when he saw Dan like this, he suddenly lost his confidence. Was Dan too obsessed with his mother?
"No matter what, your mum is my wife. Whether you agree or disagree, we'll get married!"
"Fine then, I'll get my mummy back when I grow up!" Dan was deliberately pissing off William.
"Sherry, how can you ignore this brat being so arrogant?" William's handsome, cold face was now filled with more frustration and chagrin. Dan's words in particular made William's face get even grimmer. "William, children say what they like!" Sherry said helplessly, "Why are you being serious with a child!"
"Sherry, do you love me or do you love this little brat?" William got serious too. He had to get this straight. Sherry was a little embarrassed. How could she say that in front of Mr. Rowland?
"Mummy loves me more, of course!" Dan said again. Seeing that John seemed to look displeased, he immediately fawned over him, "Grandpa, let's eat. I'll play chess with you when we've finished eating!" "Yes! Let's eat!" At the sound of chess, John was immediately energized, "Let's play two rounds tonight!"
"Sherry, you tell me!" William came over and buried his face deep in Sherry's hair and asked in a muffled voice. Although his question was a bit childish, well, he admitted that it was very childish, he wanted to be the one for her!
Seeing how silly Daddy was being, Sammy followed suit and ran to the table. "I'm going to eat too!"
"William, you're so childish!" She really couldn't do anything with him. "Well, Dan's teasing you. He wants you to be nice to me and not bully me in the future!"
"Fine! I admit I'm childish, but you have to tell me you only love me!" He wouldn't relent.
"Well! Let's go to the cemetery tomorrow! I'll tell you after I visit my dad and brother's graves!" Sherry whispered.
"Why does it have to be tomorrow?" William grumbled in discontent, "I want to know now."
Sherry laughed faintly and didn't say anything. She just pulled his hand away and walked towards the table...
In the cemetery.
The cemetery was a little bleak in winter. Sherry held two bouquets of flowers in her hands as she walked to the spot where she had met William a few months ago. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you come to this cemetery that day to visit your mother's grave?"
"No!" William shook his head. "You ran into me here that day and knocked all my flowers off!"
"Yeah!" Sherry thought about it and felt as if everything was right in front of her.
"Yeah! Let's hurry up and go! There's so much I want to say to Daddy and my brother!" Sherry couldn't wait. It was the first time that she was in a pretty relaxed mood to be here.
The past was too sour and her heart was heavy every time she came here.
"Okay!"
When Sherry led him to Clark's tombstone first, William's expression froze for a moment and his face turned miserably white.
Looking at the picture on the tombstone and the words "Clark", William was dumbstruck. How could it be such a coincidence?
But Sherry didn't notice William's expression. She placed the flowers in front of her father's tombstone and couldn't help but stroke her hand over his picture. Looking at the kind face on the tombstone, she smiled quietly and faintly, only with tears in her eyes. "Daddy, I've come to see you!"
"William, this is my dad!" Sherry took William's hand and said, "Dad gave me the most selfless love in the whole world. I didn't know how great he was and I didn't know I wasn't his real daughter until now, but he gave me the deepest and greatest love! He is the greatest father in the world!"
William closed his eyes. There was a sharp pain in his heart and he felt dizzy. He was speechless. Just looking at the picture on the tombstone, he suddenly couldn't stop the tears from dripping down his face. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Sherry looked back at him with surprise, "William, are you crying?"
William was in a trance, "No, no. I'm just grateful that he raised you!"
Suddenly, a feeling of panic gripped him firmly. That feeling of guilt that hadn't been there for a long time flared up again. He looked at the tombstone with open eyes, his heart sank and his hands and feet went cold.
Without thinking much about it, Sherry continued to turn back to the tombstone and said, "Dad, thank you for raising me and giving me a warm home. Dad, I will always love you! You will always be irreplaceable in my heart. Even though I have found my real father now, but you are in my heart like no one else..."
"Daddy, I've brought William to see you! Are you still happy with the man I like? Would you object if I were to marry him?" Sherry whispered to herself, without noticing anything different about William. The cold sweat on his forehead increased, and his heart was sinking, sinking, sinking ... all the way down into a deep, bottomless cellar of ice.
He looked at the picture on the tombstone and felt as if Clark was looking at him as if he was still alive, and as if they had looked at each other profoundly for a long, long time at this moment. It was as if he heard Clark's voice... He would not agree to marry Sherry to him!
No!
Why should that be?
William's face was pale and his thin lips were pursed.
Sherry spoke for a long time, then turned her head and asked William, "William, don't you want to say something to my father?"
William's body shuddered. Looking at her bright little face, he nodded his head. "Sherry, will you go aside? I want to talk to Uncle alone ..."
"Okay!" Sherry nodded, "I'll go over there and wait for you. I have to go and talk to Luke!"
"Yeah!" William's back straightened and he raised his head. His neck was stiff and his body was tense all over.
It wasn't until Sherry was far away that he whispered, "Uncle, I didn't expect Sherry to be your daughter. I am sorry, and I will never forget my apologies to you in this life. I will definitely take good care of Sherry and never fail her in this life. Please do promise me that you will let me marry her and give her happiness!"
After a brief pause, he added, "Are you still blaming me? I know that you must be blaming me. But I really can't help it. Please forgive me for not being able to lose Sherry and tell her about this... I know you must think I'm mean, but I really love Sherry too much... I'm sorry!'
After saying these words, tears came to his eyes. He bowed deeply, over and over again ...
"I'm sorry..."
Sherry watched him from afar. She wondered what he had said to her father. It was time for her to marry William, she thought. She had told her dad that she could decide to marry him!
Watching his tall figure approach, she didn't realize that he looked bad until he came closer. She was a little worried, "What's wrong with you?"
William shook his head, and his smile was a little unnatural. "No, it's fine. It's probably just too cold. It's Christmas time. Let's go see Luke!"
With that, the two walked back to Luke's tombstone. Looking at that young, innocent face, William blamed himself again....
The two spoke for a long time before walking out of the cemetery.
Standing at the entrance to the cemetery, Sherry took his hand in hers and noticed that it was cold. "It's really cold. Let's get back to the car and turn on the heating. You don't want to catch a cold!"
In the study of flat 15.
William went into the study as soon as he got back. He shut himself up in his study without the slightest expression on his handsome face. At the moment, he was on the phone and Sherry was downstairs making coffee.
"Peter, it's me!" William's voice was a little lower. "Do you know who Sherry's father was five years ago?"
Peter paused for a moment, "No idea. What's wrong?"
"Peter, it's Clark!" William closed his eyes and his voice lowered even more.
"Isn't that too much of a coincidence?" Peter was startled for a moment. "President, did she know something? What should we do about this?"
"I don't know what to do. She doesn't know yet..." William shook his head, "Are you sure you sent the money five years ago?"
"Well! I sent it!" He said.
William nodded his head. "Well, then, you keep it a secret. I'll contact you!"
William hung up the phone, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly.
Sherry smelt the tobacco as she came in with the coffee. She frowned and said, "You keep smoking! It's not good for your health. When are you going to quit smoking?"
"I can't quit!" William exhaled white smoke rings and took her hand, making her sit across his lap. The ambiguous position made her blush.
Sherry, however, snatched the cigarette from his hand and put it out in the ashtray on the desk. "How can you not quit? If you want to quit, you can!"
He grinned. Sherry didn't know why, but she always felt that there seemed to be more than a little sadness in his smile. For a moment, she was confused. "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine!" William finally came back to his senses. He took her by the waist and wrapped her into his arms, "Let me hold you!"
Sherry looked up in a trance. He held her close and rested his head in the nook of her shoulder.
"What's wrong with you? You seem preoccupied!" She said.
William suddenly reached around her neck and lifted his head close to hers. His handsome face pressed down and his hot tongue dug into her mouth and tossed hers at once.
'I'm just scared to lose you, so scared and afraid!'
He said in his mind.
His kiss felt like he was plundering something. He curled his tongue in and kissed her small mouth dominantly.
She let out a muffled grunt, but couldn't hide from it.
He kissed so violently that she was not only unable to breathe, but also a little scared. Her body trembled slightly as well.
"William ..." Sherry finally got a breath of air and let out a low exhale.
His breath faltered as William kept kissing her deeply, holding her head in his broad palms, not allowing her to struggle or escape. His dominance came so suddenly that she could not resist him.
He breathed heavily and his voice was extra hoarse, "You're mine."
Sherry froze, feeling a strange twinge of happiness and yet inexplicably uneasy. Her cheeks were flushed from lack of oxygen. Her lips were red and swollen from his kiss and her heart was pounding. "You're so weird!"
William's grip around her waist suddenly tightened. He hauled her up with both hands, picked her up, and kicked the door straight open to the bedroom.000
