Caprice said, “I woke up a while ago. I even had a video call with Liam!” The girl was like a blooming flower when she spoke of Liam. Sherry could not help but chuckle at her expression. She asked, “Are you hungry? Why don’t I bring you to a nice place for dinner?” After all, it was almost dinner time. “I’m not hungry,” she said as she took another bite from the cake in her hand. Sherry pursed her lips helplessly. She wanted to bring Caprice out immediately, but the man’s deep voice said, “I’ve ordered dinner for us.” Sherry was surprised. John smiled at her. “Have a seat. Dinner should be arriving soon.” Caprice echoed, “Yeah! There is a lot of candy there, so Mommy can have some first!” The girl pointed at the other end of the table. Sherry then noticed there were a ton of candies and pastries laid out properly on the table. As a workaholic, her kitchen was nothing but a decoration. Her refrigerator did not even have ingredients for cooking, let alone snacks and pas

Two minutes later, John’s phone rang. It was from Nelson, the bodyguard who stood guard outside Sherry’s apartment. He put the phone near his ear. Nelson said, “Sir, Ms. Fowler’s supper has just arrived, and she should be eating by now.” As he hummed a reply, his tightened expression relaxed. …After a dreamless night, Sherry woke up and started to prepare for the day. Caprice had just woken up. The girl’s response was slower in the morning compared to the rest of the day. Sherry helped her brush her teeth and put on new clothes. It was then the girl thought of her father. “Mommy, where’s Daddy?” she asked with pouty lips. “Daddy will be here soon.” The girl nodded with a pursed mouth. Knocks came from the door. Sherry ordered breakfast half an hour ago. It must be the deliveryman at her doorstep. She put Caprice on the couch and went to get the door. The deliveryman left after handing her the breakfast. Sherry planned to tell Nelson to contact his boss,

After a glance at the caller ID, Aiden’s eyes flickered. He answered the phone. “What did you get today?” …The call ended briefly. He then went on his social media and tapped on the pictures and videos he received. Caden noticed the smile on his brother’s face. “Bro, what’s up?” Aiden was not in a hurry to answer. He said to the ladies and guys, “Caden and I have something to discuss. Give us the room.” The guys, who had been playing poker with the brothers earlier, and the ladies left. Caden then moved close to his brother. Aiden showed him the pictures and videos he received. The picture showed Sherry carrying a three-year-old girl in the theme park with a handsome man following them everywhere they went. The videos showed more or less the same thing, but there was an extra scene of the man handing the girl a water bottle. Although Sherry gave the man the cold shoulder, she looked at the girl with a kind and gentle look as if she was a mother looking at her da

Aiden and Caden smiled in unison. Aiden began spinning his tale. "Mr. Stockton, since you’re not from Coastrock, you might not know about the true nature of Carl. He’s a good-for-nothing that has his eyes on the family fortune so that he can waste it all away. He's someone who would let our empire crumble without batting an eye. I’m sure you understand why we can’t have him inheriting the throne. “And this is where your ex-wife Sherry comes into the picture. We have to admit that she’s very good at her job and is an efficient leader, which is why Carl needs her help if he is going to inherit the corporation. What we want is for you to remarry her and take her back with you. It’s a win-win situation: you have your lover and we have our inheritance.” As if they had rehearsed the entire monologue ahead of time, Caden immediately added, "Mr. Stockton, the last thing we want is to have Carl bring our family to ruin.” John took a breath and expressed, "I admire your loyalty towar

Sherry turned to Caprice and announced, “Caprice, hang in there just a little longer, alright? Once the ingredients get here, Mommy will make something nice for you to eat.” Caprice nodded while munching her snacks. John raised an eyebrow and asked tauntingly, "Can you cook?" Back then when they were living in the rented place nearly a decade ago, Sherry had only tried to cook once and nearly burned down the kitchen in the process of doing so, which explained why that was her only episode in the kitchen. Ever since then, John was put in charge of cooking whenever he had time. Sherry glared at him sharply. “Keep your mouth shut, will you?” If this man was not going to keep his mouth shut, she would kick him out! John noticed the sharp glare in her eyes and zipped his lips. He decided to not get on her nerves anymore. The doorbell rang in no time, and the ingredients Sherry ordered from the supermarket had arrived. She shot a look at John. John took the hint and we
