Sherry took a quick shower before snuggling in bed with Caprice. … Over the next few days, Sherry followed the same schedule. She would hand over Caprice to John in the morning before heading to work. After she returned home from work around the evening, she would take Caprice back with her. John would join them and be in charge of making dinner for them. After the meal, Sherry would help Caprice settle in for the night while John would clean up and leave without being prompted to. This went on until Friday. In the morning, Sherry handed Caprice to John after breakfast as usual before leaving for work. Work was not as hectic today, at least compared to the past few days. She was done with her work around four and had nothing left to do for the day. She grabbed her bag and prepared to call it a day. Just as she was walking out of her office, she chanced into a group of her employees who were chattering about something and shooting sly glances in her dire

Sherry stepped out of the elevator. When Caprice spotted her, her eyes immediately glowed up and she cried out at the top of her voice, “Mommy!” She hopped toward her mother like a rabbit. Sherry smiled brightly and greeted Caprice warmly, taking her into her sweet embrace. Then she took the keys out of her pocket and went to unlock the front door, promptly stepping inside after unlocking the door. She did not spare even a glance in John’s direction the entire time. John frowned faintly before following her into the house. Just like the past few days, Sherry bought plenty of ingredients using a food delivery service. Then she went to the living room to watch cartoons with Caprice while they waited for the delivery. After the ingredients were delivered, John went to collect the delivery and took the plastic filled with ingredients into the kitchen. Since it was rather early for dinner, he only briefly prepared some of the ingredients and had not commenced cooki

The moon cast its luminous glow on John’s face. His aura took on a different form as usual. It was dark and gloomy, further accentuated by the cold gusts of wind that blew by, sending a cold shiver through his spine. The man stood by himself, castaway, and left to fend for himself in the lonely night. He silently crossed the road and entered the hotel lobby. As soon as he entered the lobby, two people approached him. It was Aiden and Caden. They had been waiting here for a while. They were both smiling. Aiden asked, "Mr. Stockton, did you come back from visiting your ex-wife?" John asked in a dark tone, “Did you come here just to ask me this?” Aiden went straight to the point. “She’s going to be engaged to Carl. Has she mentioned this to you?" John answered, his voice gloomy, "No." Aiden and Caden laughed at his expense. "Mr. Stockton, have you made up your mind yet?” Aiden asked with a taunting smile, “Are you going to let her marry another man and say

The venue was all set up for the engagement ceremony, and most of the family members and guests had arrived. As soon as Sherry and Carl stepped out of the car with Lisa, they were greeted by Ron and his two sons, Aiden and Caden. The trio walked up to them with identical smiles hanging on their faces. They jolted slightly when they saw how beautiful Sherry looked and could not keep their eyes off her. Lisa screwed her face in distaste and coughed dryly. Carl held Sherry closer to her and bore a sharp look at the approaching trio. Sherry was the least bothered of them all. She was well aware of the nasty things that the trio got up to and more or less expected this sort of perverted behavior, so she did seem repulsed by their presence. Ron, Aiden, and Caden quickly snapped back to their senses and stopped staring at her. Ron congratulated her with a feigned smile, “Congratulations, cousin, you’re a lucky man! You’ve chosen a beautiful woman for yourself. Not only is

Madam Sager scoffed upon hearing this and no longer made an issue of it. She had Anne walk her to her seat, walking past Lisa in the process. Ada followed closely after her and when she passed by Sherry, she made a point of shooting a hostile glare at her. Sherry scowled but did not otherwise respond to the gesture. Soon, Madam Sager was seated directly in front and center of the stage. Anne and Ada took their seats by her side. Ron went up to Lisa and said while swiping a dismissive glance at Sherry and Carl, “I ended up convincing Mom to come along with Anne. After all, today is a big day for Carl and it would be wrong to miss the perfect occasion. She’s here to give her blessings.” Lisa held back an ugly scowl. She doubted Ron would ever have such kind intentions. If anything, he would be the first one wishing for their downfall especially considering what it would signify for him. Still, she was not too concerned because she doubted there was much he could do to d
