A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 47: Genius Son

Whether it was intentionally or otherwise, he had stirred her peaceful heart!

He stared at her and looked at her sparkling eyes, her delicate lips, and very slight breathing. She could detect the gentle moving of her shoulders as she breathed.

He was very close to her and could smell the fragrance of her shampoo, with her original freshness, captivating his soul.

“How?" He asked again.

“No!” She shook her head violently. She didn't dare to believe it and felt that it was totally impossible.

Putting aside their identity and status, after she gave birth to her child she found it impossible to accept any man. But why did he put it that way? Was he a pervert? Was he insane? Did he think that he controlled everything? Did he think that he was very great?

No! It was impossible! Sherry refused.

He looked at her, she was stubborn, alarmed, at a loss but yet pretended to be dumb... she looked flustered. He thought that he would just fixate on her and look at her like that for the rest of his life.

He understood that she was traumatized. After he stared at her for a long time, he finally looked away. “Come on, consider it properly! Tell me once you've considered it carefully. Remember that I'm serious about this!”

Her mind was a sea of blank. It was like he threw a bomb into the sea and it exploded with a huge wave.

“Mommy! It’s great!” Dan shouted and ran out of his room excitedly. “Mommy, my game was bought by someone. An uncle said that he wanted to buy my game!

Mommy, mommy, uh? Mommy, what are you thinking?”

From the moment she came back from the kindergarten, mommy had been deep in thoughts. She was pondering about something when she was eating and now, she was still ina daze. She didn’t even hear him when he spoke to her. Dan went to sit next to Sherry, "Mommy, what are you thinking about?”

“Ah! Dan! You frightened me!" Sherry patted her chest. She was shocked when Danny called out to her. “What's the matter?”

“Mommy, what's wrong with you? I spoke to you but you didn’t hear me” He was very disappointed. Dan pouted his tiny lips and said pitifully, “Mommy, tell me what you're thinking about” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“I'm sorry dear, mommy's fine” Sherry was blushing and tried her best to hide it but felt guilty. What William said shocked her causing her to think about it the entire afternoon.

Why did he want to harass her? She already told him that she had given birth to a son and he actually said that he didn’t mind that! Oh lord! Was he a fool? Or was she a fool?

“Mommy, listen to me!" Dan shook her arm and yelled when he noticed her in a daze again.

“Yes! Go ahead!” She snapped back to her senses and listened carefully.

“Mommy, do you still remember Mr. Big Dick? That uncle said that he wants to buy my game! It's that uncle on the airplane!”

“Ah?” Sherry was stunned, “How is that possible?”

“Mommy, it’s real, come and have a look! This uncle is online now and come have a look! I don’t know how much should I sell it for!” Dan pulled Sherry into his bedroom.

“Really, Dan?” Sherry suddenly realized that he was telling the truth and looked at her son in surprise.

There was a chat window on the computer monitor.

Mr. Big Dick,Kid, is your mother here?

“Look, mommy, it’s that uncle. Mr. Big Dick was the one who bought all the condoms. It's him. He said that he wants to develop the game further!” Dan pointed to the computer and said to Sherry. “Hurry up and chat with him. I want to know how much money can I sell the game for!”

Sherry looked at the chat window and checked that the other party really wanted to buy the game designed by Dan. But she still had to confirm if it was really the case.

“Dan, let me chat with this uncle!” Sherry patted Dan’s cheek. “Let's see how much he is willing to pay, okay?”

“Okay!” Dan jumped onto his bed, “Mommy, tell me when you've decided!”

“Okay!” Sherry started to chat.

Dan was rolling in his bed. He was thinking that once he sold the game he and his mommy would have a better life. They wouldn't need to stay at Aunt Celia’s house and can buy their own home. Mommy can also buy new clothes.

Sherry,Mister, do you really intend to buy the game designed by my son?

Mr. Big Dick,Of course! Are you his mother?

Sherry, Yes, I'm his mother. Mister, I would like to know which aspect of my son's game attracted you. How can I be sure that you are not a conman? Please forgive me for being direct!

The other party seemed to be surprised by her query and answered after a pause.

Mr. Big Dick,Miss, you are very sharp. I appreciate your cautiousness. I would like to ask you. If I wanted to cheat him, do I still need to discuss the matter with you now? I can immediately take the game and develop it and you won't be able to receive a single cent! Even if you want to sue me for copyrights you can’t produce any evidence, am I right?

Sherry was shocked at the reply and she immediately accepted the man’s reasoning.

Sherry ,I'm sorry mister. My son is very young and I needed to protect him. Please forgive my rudeness.

Mr. Big Dick, Your son is very intelligent!

Sherry, Thanks!

Mr. Big Dick, I want to develop this game. I hope to discuss this with you in person!

Sherry, Oh, okay.

Mr. Big Dick, When are you available?

Sherry, How about tomorrow?

She took a few days leave from work because of her injuries.

Mr. Big Dick, Okay. How about this. Tomorrow at midday I'll have my assistant meet you at the Tranquil Restaurant. Alright?

Sherry, Okay! How will I contact your assistant?

Mr. Big Dick, Bring your son along and look for a Mr. Brooks!

Sherry, Brooks?

Sherry was stunned. He shared the same last name with Liam!

Mr. Big Dick,Yes! As for the price, Mr. Brooks will negotiate with you tomorrow!”

Sherry, Thanks, Mister!

Sherry didn't expect it to turn out this way.

The other party immediately went offline.

Sherry turned around and looked at her son. She felt comforted and her heart ached at the same time. Dan laid on the bed playing with his feet and waited for the outcome.

“Oh, my lord! Son! You are a genius!” Sherry sat and hugged Dan. She gave him a big kiss. “Honey, someone is really buying

your game!”

“Mommy, I said that it’s real! Did uncle say how much?” Dan sat up excitedly. His voice still sounded cute and like a baby.

Sherry started to laugh happily. This little man was truly gifted.

“He didn't say. Tomorrow I'll apply for leave for you and we'll go and discuss with him, alright?”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“That's great! Oh yes, Mommy, the teacher said that I can skip a grade!”

“Skip a grade?”

“Yes, go directly to Primary school!”

“Oh my!” Sherry was shocked. Her voice trembled with disbelief, causing the beautiful boy to be puzzled, "Skip a grade!”

“Yes!” Dan didn’t know why his mommy was so shocked.

“Son, how did your little brain develop to become so intelligent?” Sherry was in disbelief. “But do you want to skip a grade? Primary school is much tougher than kindergarten!”

“I want to go to primary school. It's much cheaper for studying at a primary school. I also want to quickly finish my studies and start to take care of mommy!”

“Dan!” Sherry hugged him tightly, “Mommy doesn't want you to be so tough on yourself. Let's not skip a grade. I want you to be happy like the rest of the children, okay?”

“Mommy, but I’m doing fine! I like to study and want to go to Primary school. The children at the kindergarten are all so childish!”

“Oh!” Oh my, he was only five years old and felt that other kids were childish? “Are you really fine with more studies?”

“Yes! Let me skip a grade after we sell the game, okay?”

After pondering for a moment, Sherry nodded, “Okay, so long as you don't feel too tired and are happy, mommy will support your wishes.’

At midday of the next day, Sherry brought Dan to the Tranquil Restaurant.

“Miss, is there a Mr. Brooks here?”

The waitress shook her head, “No.”

“Mommy, is this the place?” Dan frowned and looked at her.

Was that a conman? Sherry murmured. This was clearly the place to meet. She looked at her watch and it was the appointed time but where was he?

“Mommy, isn’t uncle here yet?” Dan asked again.

“Dan, calm down. Let's wait for a while” Sherry rubbed his cheek but the little boy was very frustrated. “Mommy... did uncle

play a prank on me? Uncle said that my game was very interesting. But why isn't uncle here yet..” As Dan said, his voice softened.

“Don't be anxious, mommy will ask again”

After waiting for fifteen minutes at the Tranquil Restaurant, Mr. Brooks still had not arrived.

Sherry looked at her watch and then at her son's disappointed face. She didn’t bear to leave and said, “Dan, I'll order a glass

of fruit juice for you”

“I don’t want it!” Dan shook his head. He softly whispered to Sherry, “Mommy, the fruit juice is very expensive here. Mommy, let's go! Uncle must be toying with me!”

Sherry's heart sank and blamed herself for not being able to spend money as she wished. Even her son had to remind her

that they needed to be frugal. She felt very useless. She felt extremely guilty and she could be hard on herself but her child must not suffer due to their poverty.

“Dan, let's wait for a while. I'll get you a glass of fruit juice. Don’t worry, I can afford it”

“Mommy, I don’t want to drink fruit juice!” Dan shook his head and said, “Fruit juice is not nice!”

Sherry looked away and her eyes sparkled with tears and waved to the waitress, “Miss, I'd like a glass of Kiwi fruit juice!”

“Mommy!”

“Dan loves kiwi fruit juice. Son, it doesn’t matter if your game can be sold. In mommy's eyes, you're the best! It's not important to fail or to succeed. What is most important is for us to keep trying, okay?” Sherry was worried that Dan would be disappointed and comforted him.

“know, mommy!” Dan nodded his head.

The waitress served the fruit juice and Dan pushed the glass towards Sherry, “Mommy, you drink first! Your lips are dry!”

Sherry was stunned and was moved to tears, “Mommy doesn't want to drink!”

“If mommy doesn't drink, then I won't drink!” Dan knew that his mommy didn't have money and didn't make up and buy new clothes like the other mommies.

Whenever his mommy had money, she would buy new clothes for Dan and buy delicious food for Dan. From the moment he understands the situation, he knew that his mommy was very frugal.

“Mommy, you drink! You drink first!” Dan already placed the straw in front of Sherry’s mouth and wanted her to drink first.

Sherry shook her head but her heart ached terribly when she saw the cute face of Dan. She nodded, “Okay, mommy will drink first.”

She took a small sip and the juice was very refreshing. The sip made her feel so fortunate and blissful. Her eyes welled up with tears and said, “Okay, I took a sip.

Now it's Dan's turn to drink!”

“Okay!” Dan became very happy, he took a sip and smiled, “Mommy, it's very nice!”
