Even until the car disappeared into the traffic, the man did not show any intentions of turning away. His charming eyes teared up under the starry night. Some time later, an exasperated sigh could be heard. Lisa had been standing behind him for a while. She tapped on his shoulder and said, “Sherry said she will come to visit us often. Stop standing here. Go home and take a rest.” Everything that needed to be said had been said, thus Lisa then left the office. Carl remained standing before the window with pursed lips. After his mother left the office and shut the door, his body leaned forward against the window. He held up his hand against the window and propped his forehead against the back of his hand. Tears fell from his tightly shut eyes. …It took Sherry a full month to do a complete handover. Her last day was on a Friday. Sherry booked a table at a restaurant to treat her subordinates to a feast. Her subordinates were reluctant to see her go, but they were quite h

The flight back to Glenchester was on the next morning. After breakfast, Sherry and John brought Caprice, Jason, and Aunt Wanda to the airport. When they finished checking in, Sherry carried Caprice and was walking through security with John. Suddenly, a ground staff came to her with a smile. “Hi, are you Ms. Sherry Fowler?” Sherry was slightly surprised. “Yes, I am.” The staff then handed her a small bouquet of flowers and a delicate-looking box. “Someone wanted me to hand you this. He wanted me to tell you to be happy.” Looking at the flowers and the box, Sherry was slightly stunned. Noticing her mother’s blank state, Caprice took the little box. The staff then left. Sherry looked at the flowers in her hands. It was a bunch of pink roses with a beautiful daisy in the middle. It was lovely. Caprice then opened the box out of curiosity. Her eyes blinked in awe, and her jaw dropped when she saw what was inside. Sherry looked into the box. There was a diamond neckla

To Sherry’s surprise, Queenie and Madam Stockton came to the airport to pick them up. After leaving the airport, the group of Sherry, John, and Caprice headed back to the Stockton villa. The surroundings of the villa were the same as they had remembered it. However, they noticed that there were new flowers in the garden and some new decorative details on the exterior. Some of the flowers were in full bloom while others were still mere seedlings. As a result, it added a different splash of youthful flavor to the ancient villa that seemed to be a relic of a long gone past. Upon stepping through the courtyard, Caprice leaped out of Madam Stockton's arms and strolled into the garden. She jabbed at a colorful bell hanging on one of the branches. Queenie approached her. "Caprice, I made these myself and hung them around the garden. Aren’t they beautiful?" Caprice nodded, mesmerized by the trinket. She quickly asked, "Aunty, can I take it and play with it?” “Sure—“ She ha

John must have sensed what was on her mind. He fell silent for a moment before stating, “We can choose to invite only our close friends and relatives.” Only the ones closest to them in their personal lives needed to witness the commemoration of their relationship. He brushed her cheek again and asked softly, "Is that alright?” Sherry wavered for a moment, then she nodded. “Alright.” John smiled softly, the same gentle glow appearing in his charming eyes. She was going to get up and leave, but there was an enchanting, magnetizing power in his eyes that made her draw closer to him. She had barely inched her head toward him when he palmed the back of her head and drew her into him. Their lips locked. … The date of the wedding was set for the next week. The time, venue, and every other logistic detail had been sorted out. Ten sets of wedding dresses had been tailored for Sherry. All she needed to do was to choose her favorite one among them. Needless to say, J

Sylvia did not join them. Caprice craned her head to the side and kept stealing glances at the door. She wanted to go back to Liam. Sherry pinched her chubby cheeks and lectured her, "Caprice, the kind of relationship Mommy and Daddy has is different from the one between you and Liam.” Caprice frowned and protested, “What’s the difference? If I like Liam, then it’s the same.” "You and Liam are both children. The way you like each other is different from the way adults like each other.” Sherry lowered the pitch of her voice and explained patiently, "You will understand when you grow up." The last part was the only part that got through to Caprice. She shaped a short ‘ohh’ with her mouth. Sherry smiled and told her nicely, "You can kiss Liam if you want, but only on his forehead or cheek, maybe even his nose. Anywhere but the lips, got it?" "Why can't I kiss his lips?” "Because children shouldn’t kiss on the lips. That's for adults.” “Okay.” Oh well, she figure
