Chapter 118 Dialogue

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry, however, just said quickly, "Sir, please don't bother me again. You really have the wrong
number!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Keegan was dumbfounded. This was the second time he had seen her crying today, and she was
crying with such sadness and despair. A bad thought suddenly came to his mind. "Sherry, is it that the
child's father disowned him?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry was stunned and did not answer, then she heard Keegan say again, "Sherry, don't be afraid. I'll
help you! The child is innocent!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry was even more dumbfounded. Had Keegan misunderstood that she wanted to have an
abortion?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She and Keegan were just colleagues, but at this moment, when he said such words, her heart
warmed up. "Thanks ... I can do it myself! I will give birth to this baby!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You don't have to be polite. We are friends. I don't have many friends, and I don't usually have many
acquaintances besides my adoptive father. I have plenty of time, and I can help you watch the baby!"
Even Keegan himself felt a little strange after saying so many words in one breath. This was the first
time he had said so much!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His support caused her eyes to heat up again. Once she lowered her head, she had more tears!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Don't cry!" He really couldn't stand girls crying. When she cried, he was so clumsy that he immediately
didn't know what to do! He could only stare at her blankly. "Don't cry, don't cry! Aren't I still here?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His words, "Aren't I still here", startled Sherry. It was her father's favorite phrase. Yet he knew it too! It
was so familiar! It was as if she had a family again. Sherry's heart warmed up. She immediately wiped&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;away her tears and suddenly broke into a smile, "Keegan, you're right. You are still here."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Keegan was a bit baffled. She was changing her face too quickly, wasn't she?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Uh! Let's get going then! Aren't you going to pick up Dan?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes! But do you have time?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;William's body went cold as he looked at the hung-up phone. He was in dismay. How could Sherry
have cheated on him with another man?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;No! She wasn't like that!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;William didn't believe it! He couldn't believe it! He dashed out, not caring about the people on the
couch, and ran straight out the door.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Brother-in-law, where are you going?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Darcy, I have to go out!" He didn't have time to explain and just left!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;And the woman on the couch cowered. "William ... don't go ..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Keegan drove Sherry to the Rowlands' old residence. Sherry didn't expect John to let Samuel out too!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as he saw Sherry, Samuel pounced on her. "Mummy! Mummy! I missed you so much!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Keegan was dumbfounded! Her another child!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;This kid called Sherry Mummy too?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Dan then glanced back at John and noticed what appeared to be displeasure in his eyes, "Mr.
Rowland, are you really letting Samuel live with my mummy? I thought you didn't approve?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;John grunted coldly. What could he do at this point? He could only compromise and take the next best
choice. This woman was not threatened, and that was all he could do!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sherry, take Samuel with you. I allow him to stay with you for a month!" John said coldly, "And let him
come back to see me once every week!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Ah..." Sherry was dumbfounded. What did Mr. Rowland mean by this?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Seeing Keegan and Sherry come together made John even more angry. He pulled Dan over and went
back to the door, avoiding Sherry and Keegan, then whispered, "See, that man over there, he's going
to be your stepfather!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mr. Rowland, you're so gossipy! Mr. Fox doesn’t not chase after my mommy! Besides, Mr. Fox is so
cool and taller than Mr. Rowland. If my mummy married him, their baby would also be tall and strong,
and definitely stronger than Samuel!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Brat, even if you want to find yourself a stepfather, leave Samuel out of it!" John said as his brows
knitted together. "A good girl doesn't marry twice. You want your mummy to marry two men, huh?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"But my mummy hasn't been married." Dan said in confusion, "Has she ever been married to Mr.
Rowland? Did Mummy and Mr. Rowland ever get divorced?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With that, Dan's eyes then widened with a very skeptical look on his face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Boy, whether your mummy has been married or not, if your mummy is married to another man, she is
not a good woman. Do you want your mummy to take the blame for that?" John was, after all, wily and
scheming. He had got Dan's curiosity up at once.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mr. Rowland, would anyone scold my mummy? Wouldn't that mean that all those ladies who have
divorced and remarried are going to be scolded? What's wrong with not being a good woman? Good&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;women are to be bullied! Mr. Big Dick has disappeared on his own, so why should I help him? I want
my mummy to marry Mr. Brooks, or if not, Mr. Fox! Yes! Or Mr. Fox! Mr. Fox and Mummy are in the
same company. It'll be easier for them to go to work! I won't have to worry about mummy being
harassed by perverts. I'm relieved to have such a cool guy to protect Mummy." Dan didn't take the bait
at all but talked to himself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;This pissed John off! "Boy, it's an old saying that a good girl never gets married twice. Do you know
that?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"But that's not fair! What's the point? Isn't there another saying? Mr. Rowland, haven't you ever heard
that? Celia said so to Mummy: keep your options open." Dan said proudly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Ugh! Do you see how cute Samuel is?" Seeing that he wasn't falling for it, John immediately
suppressed his temper and began to lure him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes! Samuel is cute. But he'd be as cute as me if he lived with my mummy, probably cuter than me!
Look now, Samuel is turning into a little girl because of you!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Brat, why are you always crossing with me?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're the one who's cross with me, aren't you, Mr. Rowland? Didn't you hate me and my mum at
first? Why are you being so fawning now?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Who's being fawning?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Isn't that what you mean, Mr. Rowland? All right then, let Mummy stay with Mr. Fox!" Dan looked over
towards the two people outside the gate. The more he looked, the more he thought Mr. Fox looked
taller than Mr. Rowland. "Yes! Mr. Fox and Mummy are perfect for each other! Their baby will be a
model too! Well, it would be great if I had a model sister!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Humph!" John grunted. "But he's not as handsome or as pretty as my son. Even if he had a daughter,
being taller doesn't necessarily mean she's good-looking! It's too hard to be a model if she isn’t
beautiful!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She can go to Korea for plastic surgery! They say on TV that Korea has great plastic surgery! Mr.
Rowland, you should get a facelift too, so you can smooth out the wrinkles on your brow. It's so ugly! If
Mr. Big Dick looks like you when he's old, won't Mummy be at a disadvantage? How can such an ugly
old man be worthy of my mummy?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You--" John nearly spat out blood!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Mrs. Howe looked dumbly at her master's dark face and suddenly laughed. "Master, the boy is really
articulate and cute! I really like him!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"He'd piss me off!" John couldn't help but say in a doting tone too.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mr. Rowland, you're too grumpy, aren't you?" Dan raised an eyebrow, and his brow actually resembled
John's. Mrs. Howe was dumbfounded. The boy and his master did have a connection. He was also the
only one so far who could make his master speechless!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Kid, can I talk to you for a minute?" John continued his ploy.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mr. Rowland! Let's get this straight! You called me to your house out of the blue, there must be
something! But you didn't say anything last night, and you won't say anything today. I am going to
leave!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Is William's company big?" John asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes, it's big. Very grand!" Dan said sincerely. "The last time I saw it. There were very tall buildings!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Would you like to have a company like that in the future?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes! I want!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Then how about you being the heir to my family?" John continued.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Mrs. Howe was dumbfounded! What did Master mean by this? Was he going to give Rowland Group to
this boy?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why?" Dan was puzzled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let your mum marry William and you take the last name Rowland, become my grandson, take over
the reins of the Rowland Group and be the president. Pretty cool, huh?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Dan pouted and shook his head. "Mr. Rowland, I'm not going to be the president of your group!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Uh!" John was stunned too.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'm going to start my own company, not anyone else's!" Dan said and smiled. His large eyes curved
into crescent moons. "When I have a company, I'll make my mommy the chairman. Mr. Rowland, my
mummy will be at the same level as you by then! You'd better mind your company! Be careful not to let
me screw it up then!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You arrogant boy!" John laughed out loud.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He said this like himself over fifty years ago.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His laughter immediately drew Sherry's attention from outside the door. She then realized that they had
been at the door for a long time and had almost forgotten about Dan, and guilt rose up in her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mr. Rowland, you don't believe me?" Dan was still talking to John. "Then wait! Mr. Rowland, you'll
have to live a little longer, or you won't see it!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;…
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the car on the way back.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry sat in the passenger seat and the two children were in the back. Keegan drove the car quietly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The two children were chattering and cheering. Samuel kept talking like a bird that had been let out of
its cage. "Mummy, I miss you so much! I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you come and see
me, Mummy?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Samuel, it's Mummy's fault! Mr. Rowland has promised to let you stay with me for a month. Are you
happy?" Sherry's heart was sour. She hadn't expected Mr. Rowland to let Samuel go. but when they
had arrived, Mr. Rowland had warned her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're a mother now. You should behave properly and don't get involved with other men, or it will
affect the child's physical and mental development!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry didn't understand what was going on. Only later did she realize that John might have
misunderstood her and Keegan. In fact, they were just colleagues who had just met not long ago!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mummy, John is not that bad, is he?" Dan suddenly spoke up, "he is like an old kid. I don't know if he'll
be sad to see us go!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Dan to be so concerned about John, yet she felt
comforted. "Dan, Mr. Rowland is actually very nice. He's just a bit serious. He’s unhappy because he
lost the love of his life!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Does Mr. Rowland's mummy live in heaven like uncle?" Dan asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sherry shuddered inside. She hadn't been to see Luke and Dad for a long time and couldn't help but
sigh. This time, she was taking her two sons with her, and going to visit their graves together!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Keegan looked at the two children through the rear-view mirror and was actually a little envious of
Sherry. She had so many relatives, while he, only had his adoptive father.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The four of them went to the supermarket to do some shopping before coming back, and upon entering
the house, they found Celia.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Celia!" Dan pounced on her, "Celia, I missed you so much! Why didn't you come to see me?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh, Dan, I missed you so much. Come on, give me a kiss!" Celia said as she kissed Dan's face before
releasing him, causing the little boy to itch.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
