“Are you here to help her with work?” “No.” Carl narrowed his eyes in a curve. “I’m here to see her.” Sherry furrowed her brows. Before she could glare at Carl, John asked, “See her? Are you here to inspect her work then?” “No. I’m just here to keep an eye on her so that she won’t go looking for men behind my back.” John pursed his lips. The atmosphere in the room somehow got awkward. Sherry glared at Carl. “Carl, you better shut—” “Are you two having a relationship? Why would she go looking for other men behind your back?” John asked, interrupting Sherry. Carl narrowed his eyes further and locked eyes with John. “Master John, you have no idea. Sister Sherry here is actually my future wife.” The atmosphere plunged into dead silence. Only Caprice’s munching could be heard. Carl ignored Sherry’s furious glare and continued locking eyes with John. John stared at him coldly. A moment later, he curled his lips. “Future wife? Are you engaged?” “Nope. Not yet. But

Sherry frowned. “The engagement won’t happen for now.” For now? He squinted coldly. “So, it’s happening soon?” Sherry averted his gaze. “I don’t know.” John took a step closer to her. He stared into her eyes and asked, “What do you mean you don’t know?” Sherry averted his gaze once more. “There’s still a lot of time to figure it out. I don’t know if I’ll remain single, or if I’ll marry someone in the future.” John curled his lips. It was not an ominous and frosty smile but a bright and relieved one. “Come out,” he said. Sherry was stunned. Then, the chubby Caprice came out from the closet beside them. Sherry’s eyes gleamed. “Caprice!” Caprice ran to her as well. “Mommy…” Sherry bent over immediately and hugged the girl tightly. She could not help kissing the girl’s adorable cheeks. Caprice stared at her mother with her widened eyes. Sherry pinched her cheeks and said, “Caprice, what are you doing here? Do you miss me?” Caprice looked at John. “Daddy brough

John patted Caprice’s head and answered expressionlessly, “Caprice missed her mother, and she insisted on coming last night. So, I stayed a night with her.” Carl’s smile froze. “Sister Sherry snores when she sleeps. I wonder if she bothered you and Caprice last night.” John narrowed his eyes but his smile remained. “She slept well last night. You don’t need to worry about that, Young Master Sager.” Carl choked on the answer he got and pursed his lips helplessly. John smiled and continued, “But she slept rather late last night, and she’s still not awake. If you are not in a hurry, I would suggest coming back later.” Carl awkwardly smiled. “Great. I stay in this hotel as well, so I can see her every single day. I don’t need to rush things.” “I see… Well, I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me.” “Take care, Master Stockton.” John carried Caprice and walked forward. The moment he walked past Carl, his handsome face was shrouded in gloom, and the smile disappea

Sherry’s eyes flickered. Maybe because her patience was worn out after days of fruitless waiting, she suddenly decided to come out from hiding. She crossed her arms and stared back at him arrogantly. John smiled and strode over to her. Sherry sat on the ground, leaned back on the wall, and refused to move. Soon, his slender and towering figure arrived before her eyes, shadowing the light from her sight. “What are you doing here, Sherry?” His hands pocketed in his trench coat as he looked down at her condescendingly. “No money to buy food, or are you trying to experience what a homeless person feels like?” Sherry glared at him. “Where’s Caprice? I want to see her!” “Caprice is too busy to see you.” John then turned around and headed to the parking lot. Sherry bolted up and chased after him. “Where did you send her? Why is she so busy?” The girl did not need to go to school, so how could she be busy? It had been days since she saw her daughter. John ignored her and

An hour of squatting later, she spotted the silver MPV coming out. Her gaze shifted. She bolted up and wanted to run over to the man, but due to an hour of squatting, her legs were numb. Her sudden rise caused her to lose her balance, and when coupled with the numbed legs, she fell down. The silver MPV drove off like the wind in front of her eyes. Sherry was left speechless. She simply lay on the ground without the slightest intention to get up. Inside the silver MPV, the driver and Peter dared not even breathe loudly as things got tense. Caprice was in her father’s arms while wearing a beautiful red dress. She curled her arms around her father’s neck and looked out of the rear window. It was dark outside. She could barely spot a thing. She then looked at her father and said meekly, “Daddy, I thought I saw someone fall down.” John smiled and answered softly, “You must have seen it wrongly. There’s no one there.” Caprice frowned. “I did, I did.” She might not have gott
