A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 224

“Celia, how come you're not skiing?” Dan had just finished a lap, but he did not expect that Celia would still continue standing there. This was not good. Mommy had told him to be the matchmaker of Keegan and Celia, if he does not complete this task, how should he explain to mommy?

“I, I feel hot, I don’t want to exercise anymore!” The moment Celia looked up and saw Keegan, she became a little nervous and made a random excuse.

“Hot?” Dan laughed cheekily. “In a place like this, Celia can still feel hot, how remarkable! Bahahaha...”

“You little brat, how dare you laugh at me!” Celia grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him.

“Hahahaha… you the one who said it!” Dan turned around and skied away for a certain distance. “Dan, come back here quickly!”

Celia wanted to chase after him, but she forgot that she was wearing skis. Because of that, she failed to coordinate her movement, and as she lost her balance, she fell backwards.

“Be careful.” The moment Keegan had warned her, he had also reached out with his large hand and caught Celia’s waist.

“Ah...” Celia was so scared that she squinted her eyes, but she did not feel cold. Her suspicious eyes slowly wandered down and saw a pair of large hands around her waist, no wonder she was not covered with snow.

“Thanks.” As Celia’s face turned red, she quickly stood up panicking. “I... I'm fine, thank you!”

A fragment smell passed though Keegan’s nose, stunning him in the process. “You don't know how to ski?”

“Yeah!” She frustratedly took a step back, trying to increase the distance between them. However, her feet slipped and she fell backwards once again, but she was not lucky this time.

Keegan also only had time to reach out and hug her. However, because of his strength, he could not maintain his balance thus causing both of them to fall at the same time. Fortunately, as they were falling, Keegan caught onto Celia’s hand and pulled her towards him, causing Celia to fall onto his muscular chest.

“Ah...” another scream came out.

“It's okay!" Keegan's deep voice passed through her ears.

As Celia opened her eyes and met with Keegan’s handsome face, only then did she realize that she had fallen on top of him. In a panic, she scrambled to get up again, only to trigger Keegan’s deep roar. “Ah! Don't move!”

Damn, this woman, she actually pressed on his dick!

Celia heard his voice changed and was too scared to move, once she lowered her head and realized what was going on, her whole face turned red like a tomato. Keegan lifted up her body, her soft body fell into his arms, and her legs also pressed against his dick. Keegan felt somewhat embarrassed. Moreover, this was his first time falling awkwardly with a woman.

After Celia was moved to the side by Keegan, he took a sigh of relieved. As his turned his head, he met up with Celia’s beautiful face. He quickly averted his gaze, and Celia also lowered her head while feeling flustered, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat ambiguous.

“Oh... Keegan hugged Celia! Keegan hugged Celia!” Samuel’s cheerful voice interrupted the strange atmosphere between the two.

“What are you talking about?” Celia whispered.

“Keegan must take responsibility for this!” Dan skied towards them easily, “Keegan, you can't just take advantage of Celia, you have to be responsible for her!”

***

After Keegan bought Celia and both children to eat, it was already quite late. So, it was strange that Sherry and Sarah could not be found.

“Our moms are not in the room!” Dan searched around the room without seeing anyone.

“I'll go to the main reception and ask!” Keegan told Celia. “You watch the kids!”

“Ok!” Celia nodded while blushing. After they come back from the snow field, this was the first time he spoke to her.

“Celia, you like Keegan, right?” During the waiting process, Dan couldn't help but ask Celia.

“You little brat, you should be worried about your mommy and your aunt!” Celia rubbed her head. “Right now, they are still nowhere to be found.”

“My mommy and my aunt must be with their husbands, don't worry too much!”

“How do you know that your daddy already arrived here?”

“If he did not arrive here today, then he really isn't my daddy anymore!” Dan shook Celia’s hand. “Celia, my mommy has the same age as you and I am already quite big. So, you have to hurry up and get married, otherwise Dan will be very worried about you!”

“What are you worrying about?” Celia was a little bit surprised.

“I am worried that you will be alone forever!” Dan said it as a matter of fact.

“You little brat!” Celia’s heart was warmed. She lowered her head and held Dan’s small face; this child was the one whom Sherry gave birth to that night. After many twists and turns, it was revealed that Sherry child was Dan. Celia felt that it was not in vain to love him for so many years, such a sweet child, she really wanted to have one of her own, but...

“Alright! Celia will quickly find a boyfriend, so that Dan can be reassured!” Celia tapped on Dan’s little nose. “If Celia can't get married, she will continue relying on Dan!”

“It won’t happened, Dan will definitely help Celia to get married!”

“Keegan is back!” Dan shouted. “Keegan, where have our moms gone to?”

“Both your fathers have arrived here; I think they are with each other!” Keegan walked up to Celia, “We'd better help watch the kids for a while longer! They each got their own rooms!”

“They really were chasing after us!” Celia exclaimed, “How enviable, what a romantic wife chasing!"

“Celia, I'll go back into the room with Samuel to watch TV, you can go ahead and have a romantic time with Keegan, there is no need for you guys to supervise us.” Dan took Celia’s hand and handed over to Keegan. “Keegan, you have to take care of Celia!”

“You little brat!” As Celia jerked her hand in a panic, Keegan was stunned and his gaze faintly moved.

“Brother, let's watch TV!” Samuel and Dan went back to the room hand in hand, and when they went in, the two children turned back at the same time, “You guys go and have fun!”

“Uh!” Celia was embarrassed. “Don’t you mind them; they are just kids and were talking nonsense!”

Keegan’s dark eyes flashed as he went silent for a while, and after a long time, he said, “Let’s go out and have a look around!”

“Ah!” Celia did not expect it at all, she thought he would refuse. As she was wondering what to say, Keegan already stride towards the outside of the hotel.

She had no choice but to follow.

Sapporo city was the capital of Hokkaido, Japan, and also the number one biggest city in Hokkaido. Being the economic and cultural center of Hokkaido, the streets at night were full of cool men and beautiful women, each feasting and pleasure seeking, it looked quite prosperous.

The two arrived in the streets, Celia was walking with Keegan by her side. Her heart was pounding as she actually quite liked Keegan. The reason was that he can cook, and in this society, for a man willingly helping a woman to cook in the kitchen was really too scarce. So, when he helped took care of Sherry that day, she has a good impression of Keegan.

Keegan had also kept walking. He occasionally glanced at Celia, looking at the woman who was somewhat shaken walking by his side. As she was not looking at where she as going, he silently helped her watch the road.

Seeing others were already with their significant partner, and he was also going to be thirty years old, it was time to find a woman to get married and have children. Although he did not think about such things as love before, he was still quite jealous of William and Sherry, and also envied Liam and Sarah, even adoptive father and Susan…

Celia was thinking about something on her mind. Keegan was also doing the same thing.

As the two people continued walking, Celia was tripped by the steps, her feet were twisted, causing her to lose balance and fell to one side.

“Be careful!” As he quickly came back to his senses, Keegan once again reached out and caught onto the shaken woman into his arms, saving her from the pain of falling down.

Celia’s heart was pounding because of the shock, and she looked at the person holding her in fear, as she stammered out, “Thank you.”

Keegan still held onto her, seemingly forgetting that he should let go. As her soft, light body, was limping in his arms, he could feel her heartbeat.

Her soft breasts, pressed against his chest, made his heart palpitate inexplicably.

Keegan lost focus for a moment while holding Celia for a long time and did not move. Feeling the softness of this woman, his mind became surprisingly confusing. This was the second time he held her today, and it felt very weird…

When Celia noticed that he was not letting go, her face turned red, “Kee, Keegan…”

Being held like this, she was more or less unaccustomed to, especially since he is so tall. When she was being held by him, she felt like a small pet. Although she had a good feeling about Keegan, it did not mean that she was an easy woman, “Keegan, thank you!”

She was also reminding him that he could let go.

Keegan came back to his senses and lowered his head to look at the woman who looked a little flustered but was forcefully holding her composure. Her blushing face looked so cute that it suddenly excited him.

He did not let go of her, but instead asked, “Are you always this careless when it comes to walking?”

She was a little embarrassed, “It was an accident just now! You let go of me!”

“If I let you go, what if you fall again?” Keegan never tease people, but he could not help but tease her while still holding her waist. Her waist was really slim, he was even afraid that such force will break her bones.

Celia’s hands were pushing against Keegan’s chest to try to separate their distance. However, she found that her effort was futile, it only made him laugh at her.

Celia clearly saw a faint smile under the eyes of Keegan, someone who was normally cold towards others. She started feeling frustrated, what was the meaning behind this? She could not overpower his strength and simply gave up.

Then she heard Keegan say, “Celia, I am a straightforward person!”

“Eh?” She raised her eyes, not understanding what he meant.

“If you like me just a little bit, we can give this a try, if not, let's not waste any time!” Keegan spoke with a cool tone and look.

Celia looked at him in dismay, and the bottom of her eyes reflected Keegan’s characterful face.

He let go of her and took a step back, pulling away.

Is there a way of confessing?

So straightforward, so domineering, she doubted if he was used to holding a gun and became so domineering in everything he did. She did not know whether to laugh or cry, at the same time her heart was also racing. Did he meant that if she liked him, he will accept her?

Keegan just quietly looked at her, and then he pursed his lips. “Forget it, you can go back! I'll walk by myself!”

He had been lonely for too long, far too long, and he was also a man who had been in jail, so how could he expect a woman to like him. It turned out it was him who had mistaken.

He left with big strides. Seeing that he was walking further and further away from her, Celia’s heart started panicking, “Hey! Wait! Keegan!”

As he continued walking, his inferiority complex came rushing back up. It was not suitable for him to be with a woman like her, maybe he's not fit to get married forever! He continued to walk forward.

“Keegan, stop right there!” Celia shouted urgently, but he walked faster and faster.

She did not want to lose the opportunity. Although women normally do not take the initiative, she still chased after him, running fast. Because there were still some ice and snow on the streets, her feet slipped again, and lunged her forward. “Ah…”

This time, no one came to save her. So, Celia fell to the ground and her hands were bruised. It hurt so much that painful tears started flowing down

Perhaps the fall was too loud, Keegan stopped walking and turned back. As he saw the petite figure lying on the ground, he helplessly turned around, how can she walk so carelessly?

Her hands hurt!
