Sherry was alarmed by John’s presence. She took Caprice in her arms and shuffled forward while murmuring, “Nothing, I was just apologizing to Caprice. I wasn’t saying anything else." John grinned, then he looked at Caprice who was wrapped tightly in Sherry’s arms, and spoke gently, “Sorry, it was Daddy’s fault, I brought Mommy back to my room last night, that's why we didn’t spend the night with you.” Sherry was taken aback by his honesty. Aunt Wanda took her leave to give them some privacy. Caprice pouted grumpily, but she was no longer upset as she was though she was still feeling down. Sherry felt guilty when she saw Caprice in this state and promised her, "Caprice, I'm very sorry. l’ll never leave you alone again.” Caprice made a look and remained silent. This was the first time Sherry saw her daughter in such a depressed state so she was at a loss for what to do. John motioned. "Give her to me.” Sherry had run out of ideas of how she could comfort Capric

Contrary to Julie’s belief, Sherry was hardly interested in trying to suck up to Madam Stockton as she barely cared about what Madam Stockton thought of her at all. Sherry answered curtly with a condescending smile, “Sorry for disappointing you, but I never planned to go inside in the first place.” Julie was suspicious. "Then why did you send Caprice to her?” Sherry chuckled. "Heh… Julie, do you truly think that I sent Caprice to Madam Stockton just to please her?” Julie asked cautiously, “What else?” "No comment." Sherry smiled and walked on. A thought suddenly occurred to her while she was walking away. She suddenly halted and approached Julie again, stopping only a step in front of her. "Julie, there’s something I’m curious about as well. Is pleasing Madam Stockton the only thing you care about?” Why else would her immediate assumption of seeing Caprice being sent to Madam Stockton be that Sherry was trying to get on the madam’s good side? Julie looked ashame

Sherry was taken aback by this as she shifted the phone to her ears. John kicked off the conversation. “So, you’re not doing anything at all right now?” His voice was gentle and soothing. Sherry felt like a weight was lifted off her as her somber mood was at least slightly alleviated. She answered, “I’m just hanging out in the room.” “How long has Caprice been with my mom?” he asked. She thought for a second and stated, “About half an hour.” “Did you eat dinner by yourself?” “Yeah.” There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, then he spoke again, "Is there anything you want to ask me?" What should she ask? She thought for a moment and asked, “Well, what are you doing?" "I just got back to the hotel.” "Have you had dinner?" “I had dinner outside before the driver sent me back here.” After a pause, he added, "The weather here is pretty nice, I can take you and Caprice here in the future when I have time.” Sherry smirked. “Could it

It was a night without dreams. Shortly before noon, Sherry had put Caprice into a lovely dress. Her hair was tied neatly into two braids, mimicking the look of the little red riding hood. After they were ready to head out, they walked out of the courtyard. Queenie did not join them today as she was going on a blind date arranged by Madam Stockton. Sherry took Caprice in her arms and stepped into the car. She went to the park with Aunt Wanda and Jason accompanying her. This was the largest park in Glanchester, located in the middle of the jungle. There was not much exotic view to speak of in this season, but there were certainly plenty of parents who brought their children here to spend the day. A lot of people were flying kites on the large field. Caprice did not like rowdy activities so kite-flying seemed like an ideal sport for her. Sherry had her pick out a large kite that she liked from the store. After that, they stepped into the field. It was a sunny day a

Shortly after that, she picked out one of the pictures and sent it to John, accompanied with a message. “John, a friend of mine ran into Sherry when she was at the park and sent me this picture. I thought really hard about whether I should send this to you but I think it’s the right thing to do.” Meanwhile, in another city miles away from Glanchester. A silver car was cruising down the highway. Ding! A phone rang inside the car, indicating a message had been received. John was seated by himself in the back row. He reached for the phone in his pocket and read the message. In an instant, a gleam of ice flashed past his eyes. Ding! The phone rang again, it was a follow-up message from Julie, “My friend said that those two chatted for some time. It doesn’t look like they’re up to anything in particular, maybe it’s just a coincidental meeting at the park.” A mere coincidental meeting? Glanchester was a large city. What were the odds that they just happened to bump
