A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 215 That night

As she saw him galloping down the stairs to get some ice, she surveyed his room. This is the place where she secretly sneaked in and slept. She always sniffed the scent left behind his used blanket countless times. But every time she could only sneak in silently. That heartbreak of a former crush, that disappointment, it all made her mind tangled at the moment.

The moment he ran up the stairs, he saw her in tears. Liam Brooks nervously asked, "Sarah Brooks, what is wrong? Is it painful? Does it hurt?”

“...” She shook her head as her forehead was not painful anymore, the only thing in pain was her heart.

“Then why are you crying?” He was being cautious and sensitive, “Lie down, let me apply this cool pack. Go away, swelling!”

He gently wiped the redness and swelling on her forehead with an ice-cold towel, "Does it hurt?"

She did not say a word, but her tears fell more fiercely.

Liam sat by the window and took another towel to dry her tears, "Does it hurt? Why were you so careless? Don't walk so fast next time!”

His handsome face was covered with worry and distress. He rarely got so serious as he was always playful and had a smile on his face. But once he got indifferent, there would be an unspeakable charm radiating from his good-looking face, it was a unique temperament. At this moment, his eyes were full of sorrow. It gave her an illusion that she was being cherished, it was what she had been longing for.

"Sarah?" Liam saw her tears falling even more fiercely, which made him very anxious. "What is going on? You still won't forgive your brother? I am really wrong!”

She turned away and did not look at him, but she still could not help but let her tears fell.

“Sarah, you can not be so ruthless. Are you going to forgive me when we are both old? I sincerely apologize to you, and I hope that you can forgive me. Besides, please do not cry again, it makes my heart aches every time you cry!”

At that moment, his handsome face collapsed. Liam looked so regretful and stared at the woman in front of him that he loved. A trace of painful remorse crossed deep inside his heart. He had already regretted it. He regretted not protecting her back then and let Sarah experience such great agony.

“I did not blame you a long time ago! I just have no idea how I should face you!” She said honestly and tried to stop her tears.

All the aggravation and heartbreaks were all in the past! People like her who had died once had already learned to be staunch and how to let go. After being caught in a life and death situation, nothing was unforgettable!

“Then why are you crying?” There was a sense of helplessness on his indifferent but handsome face. He was staring at her somewhere not far away.

“I am just thinking of the past!” She mumbled, “My head does not hurt anymore. Take this towel away, I am going back to my room and sleep!”

She sat up, took down the towel, and shoved it into his hand.

When she was walking away, he grabbed and pulled her tiny hand, “Sarah, please don’t go. Just stay for tonight, what do you think?”

Her body trembled, she turned over and he was bafflingly looking at her. All of a sudden, she was absent-minded but she suddenly recalled something. That night, he was drunk or actually he might not. Because he did not only drank beer but also some aphrodisiac. She was the one who held him to go back to his hotel room.

“You really did not remember anything that night?” She asked, “You really do not have a clue whether it was me or Darcy Mclean?”

He was also astonished, that night, he…

All he remembered was during the gathering, he drank a beer that Darcy handed to him. Then he started to feel fever all over his body, he also experienced a throbbing headache. Countless scenes were appearing in his eyes, he had no idea who sent him into the guest room. All he remembered was it was a woman!

Under the double influence of his drunkenness and the aphrodisiac, he could not help but hug the lady the moment he entered the guest room. Inside the dark bedroom and under the influence of drugs, Liam had sex with the woman without any foreplay.

At that very moment, Liam’s dizzy brain immediately became crystal clear, a virgin? But he could not stop, he wanted to open his eyes and see but he could not. His eyelids were too heavy and there was only one instinct left in his body.

Since it was her first time, he should be a man with grace and left her with good memories. He kissed her gently all the way down until the body underneath responded with its natural instinct.

***

He was Liam Brooks, a prodigal by nature who always sowed his wild oats. He was dissolute but not despicable and all of his relationships were romance under consent. But Sarah was her younger sister, he could definitely not engage in any sexual relationship with her.

If he was wide awake, he might at least not touch her at that time, that was why he never thought of that night in detail. He always thought that it was Darcy but kept refusing it was Darcy in the bottom of his heart. Anyway, when he woke up that day, Darcy was on the bed fully naked while Sarah was

staring at them with her eyes wide open. Then Darcy said she would let him take the responsibilities while Sarah did not say anything but ran outside…

That was a wonderful night!

The only thing that was not wonderful was seeing Darcy when he woke up…

That night was really difficult to explain!

“Sorry…” Liam could only apologize.

He grasped her wrist and pulled her towards him, then he hugged her in her arms and muttered, “Even when I really did not see your face but that night was really unforgettable for me. I feel so lucky that it was not Darcy. I have no idea why but I just do not like her. But when I knew it was you that night, I felt a sense of relief rushing through my mind, luckily it was you…”

“Actually Darcy really loves you…” Sarah felt a sense of bitterness in her heart when she mentioned Darcy, “You and I, William Rowland and Sherry Murray, we are all entangled by the two sisters. It finally ends now, but I still can not feel any sense of relief in my heart. On the contrary, I feel even more tired. If it was not because of Darcy’s diary, would you still know my presence that night?”

He flinched and his body became rigid, but he was still hugging her tightly. Yes, if it was not because of Darcy’s incident, he would know how much time he would waste. Perhaps, if he really married Darcy, the moment when Darcy was pointing a gun at him, he really wanted to marry her. Not because of love but merely to save her life…

“Everything has passed, life still goes on and we shall look forward!” Liam seemed to be a little bit down, “If she did not die, I would probably hate her… But she was dead, I have no idea how to feel about this person. Blame her, blame her for letting you go through so much pain. But I hate myself, even more, it is my fault!”

She remained silenced with tears and aggrievement in her eyes, but no more hatred…

“Can you stay, for tonight…” He murmured.

“No!” She shook her head.

“I will not do anything. I just want to talk to you!” He said with a begging tone.

She did not reject and nodded her head.

He was ecstatic, would this be a good improvement? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Can I tell you a story?” Liam asked excitedly. When they were young, he used to tell her stories all the time. Every time before he even finished his story, she would already be sleeping soundly.

“What story?” Her mind was drawn to when they were young, she felt that it was a bit hilarious, “I have already grown up, you should tell the story to Samuel Rowland…”

“Mom and dad will tell him that, don’t you realize these days dad and mom are staying with him all day long?”

Yes, dad and mom were guarding Sammy. As Sammy’s mom, she could not even get near. Just now when she just got out from Samuel’s room, the two elders were standing on each side guarding their grandson who was in between. That scene triggered her, she could not help but got her eyes red.

There was a moment where she wanted to marry someone immediately and had few more kids to stay with her parents. But right after that moment, her thought faltered as she had no idea how she should face Liam. ‘Was he really in love with me?’

“When we were young, you would cuddle me when you sleep. But when you started to study in secondary school, you did not even sleep in the same bed with me. Every time I bothered you and

asked you to tell me stories, you would be very mad.”

“That is because I was in puberty and you were just a tiny girl!” Liam recalled the night where it was his first seminal emission and Sarah was on his bed, and he…

When he recalled it, his face inadvertently reddened.

“Are you ok?” Sarah was confused, “Why is your face so red!”

“Don’t ask!” His voice was hoarse as he did not want to recall his own embarrassing memories. It was that night where he realized he had already grown up. He could never sleep next to her sister again.

“Do you want me to tell you a story about Snow White?”

“No…”

“Then what do you want to hear?”

“Tell me about your past relationships then!” She said.

“I have not fallen in love with anyone before!” He shook his head. He sure had plenty of women but he only had sex with them without falling in love. It was purely a natural instinct of his body.

“...” Sarah was a little bit shocked, “But you are so dissolute…”

“...”

“You have nothing to say?”

“Yes! I am ashamed!” He said.

“Goodnight!” She closed her eyes as she was tired. His hug was really warm, she was able to find a few comfortable positions in his arms. She closed her eyes and was asleep after a short while.

Liam absent-mindedly stared at her and listened to her consistent breathing. He sighed deeply, ‘This silly girl is already asleep!’ But it was rare that she did not reject him.

They had a good night's sleep cuddling each other, it was really rare that he behaved well.

But in the morning, Sarah was woken by someone’s hot kiss. Liam pecked her neck and was purposely waking her up.

She slowly opened her drowsy eyes and all she saw was a handsome face, “You said you will not do something silly!”

“Sarah…” He yelled with a low voice, “I like you, I love you…”

“How many women have you said this to?” She raised her eyebrow and was struggling to get down from her bed.

“Only you!” His words directly penetrated into her ears. Those words traveled all the way into her heart and her heart trembled.

There was only her anxious and frenetic breathing sound in the room. She could feel her heart pounding insanely fast.

“Marry me, Sarah!” She felt the itch all over her body, a wave of numbness rushed through her entire body. Her face turned completely red.

She felt extremely shameful and was trying to struggle and get up. Suddenly, her shoulder tightened up as a pair of strong arms took her into his arms!

She frantically looked upwards and her eyes matched with Liam’s eyes, “Liam…”

Sarah looked shy with her face all reddened. She had no idea how she should react to Liam. Liam stared at her for a moment and asked her gently, “Will you marry me?”

Sarah was unbearably shy and did not dare to raise her head. She just buried her face in Liam’s broad chest, his heart was also pounding really fast.

Then, Liam asked her again on top of her head, “Let me just ask you this. I like you, love you and I am willing to hold your hand for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”

Sarah trembled and did not know how she should answer that question. But then Liam hugged her and turned over. Then he looked down at her from above, seriousness and sincerity were written all over his handsome face, “Sarah, I know you have trauma and might worry that I do not love you. But I really do, I just realized that a little bit too late! Let me hold your hand forever, is that ok?”

He was waiting for her reply, his eyes were shining brightly and he looked really passionate. He put her delicate hands on his lips and gently kissed her palm...

She only felt a tingling sensation in her palm and almost blurted out the two words ‘I do’. But what she said instead was “Let go of me!”
