Sherry wore a quiet frown. She briskly opened the door and stepped inside the house with Caprice in her arms. John followed her into the house with the food in hand. He placed the container on the table and opened it, releasing the aroma of the food into the house. He turned to Sherry and repeated the same thing. “Caprice ordered these for you, come on and eat.” Caprice urged her to eat as well. “Mommy, it’s very tasty, come on and eat it!” Sherry hesitated briefly, then she approached with Caprice still in her arms. John noticed her apprehension and immediately stepped away from the dining table and retreated to the couch in the living room. Sherry sat down at the dining table with Caprice on her lap. It was a gourmet meal with a vast variety of seafood, chicken, and pork ribs. Aside from that, Caprice even ordered drinks and dessert that she knew her mother would like. The food was mouth-watering. Even though Caprice already ate, she still gulped when sh

Without Ron, Aiden, and Caden around, there was a marked improvement in terms of work efficiency throughout the company. This improvement was not only seen in Sherry’s department but in other departments as well. Lisa and Carl rarely showed up over the next few days as they were busy dealing with the aftermath of the scandal. Sherry only saw Lisa once over the next two days and never saw Carl at all. Fortunately, the details of the two projects he signed on had been worked out. The departments were coordinating as they should and things were progressing smoothly. Sherry returned to her usual routine. She would go to work every day and return home on time where she would spend time with Caprice before they went to bed. She hardly paid any attention to John. This evening, Sherry left the office as usual after she finished up her work for the day. She drove past several junctions and swerved into the apartment compound where she lived. After she got out of the car, sh

Caprice was sleeping soundly in her arms. She slung Caprice over her shoulders, leaving both of her hands free. She turned toward the trash cans and fumbled around in the dark. After a while, she was done. She stepped away and walked toward the lobby, making sure that Caprice was asleep the entire time. She stepped into the lobby that was illuminated with ceiling lights. John, who had been standing by his car the entire time, noticed that when Sherry approached the trash cans, her wrist was still filled with bracelets. However, her wrist was empty now. He took a deep breath and furrowed his brows. After Sherry had gone out of sight, he approached the trash cans. He opened them and inspected what was inside. There was scarcely any light, so he could see nothing but stinky piles of domestic waste. He furrowed his brows and stretched his hand out. With an exasperated sigh, he dug his hands into the garbage and began shoveling around. Soon, he tossed the co

"You have really heavy bags under your eyes. Did you not sleep well last night?" John repeated the question. Caprice grew wide-eyed and stared at her mother upon hearing the question. Sherry avoided John’s gaze and answered curtly, "I had some urgent work to deal with last night so I ended up sleeping late.” "What kind of urgent work?” he asked. This got him a sharp look from Sherry. "Why are you so talkative today?” John pursed his lips and changed the topic. "What do you want for breakfast?" Sherry pretended she did not hear him and ignored him. Caprice answered for her, “I want pancakes!” John looked at Sherry to see if she had other opinions. She did not provide any feedback at all. … The next few days were relatively uneventful. One afternoon, Sherry finally saw Carl. This was her first time meeting him since their last encounter at Ron’s. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was neatly combed. Although he still had a little air of playfu

Sherry sat motionlessly in her office for some time. It was only when one of her staff knocked on her door to inform her that it was going to rain outside and wondered why she was not leaving yet that she was finally pulled out of her trance. She looked outside. It was dark. On any other day, it would still be relatively bright outside at this hour. She tried to shrug off her thoughts and got up. It began raining very soon after. It was nowhere near a downpour but it was enough to affect the traffic condition. Although her place was only several junctions away, she was held up in traffic for almost an hour before finally reaching home. She swerved into her parking space in the parking lot. She did not have an umbrella in her car. She braced herself for a sprint into the building. Moments before she threw the door open, she spotted two familiar figures approaching her car. One was a tall figure and the other was a child. It was John and Caprice. John held Capr
