Chapter 1529
John pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tears and snot off the girl’s face. Then, he stared at Sherry’s chest.
Sherry flushed. “What are you looking at?”
John wickedly grinned and narrowed his eyes. “Do you want me to wipe it off for you?”
Caprice’s weeping had left tears and snot on Sherry’s chest.
Sherry glared at him. “No thanks!” She then carried Caprice into the car.
John chuckled and followed them inside.
Queenie captured the little interaction from the side and pursed her lips. She was the last one to get into the car.
During the quiet journey back, Caprice fell asleep due to exhaustion from all the weeping. Her adorable face leaned
onto Sherry’s chest quietly as she was soundly
asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSherry smiled gently while she stared at the girl.
John looked at her with a smile. His gaze switched from her to Caprice, and then from Caprice to her.
The car finally arrived at the Stocktons‘ residence.
Queenie was the first one to get out of the car when they reached, and she went straight back to her own house
without pause.
The car drove further into the residence and stopped in front of John and Sherry’s house.
John got out.
When Sherry wanted to get out, he had already circled the car and stood by her side with his hands reached out.
“I’ll carry Caprice.”
It was difficult for her to get down with Caprice in her arms, so she passed the girl to her father.
John took a step back while he held Caprice.
Sherry put her legs out of the car, but before they could touch the ground, the man’s rich voice sounded, “Be
careful, there’s ice on the ground.”
Sherry hummed a reply and got out of the car.
However, she lost her balance when her feet could not land properly on the ground. She started to wobble forward,
but a strong hand held her by the wrist and helped her recover her balance.
Sherry fell into his arms and almost hit Caprice. Embarrassed, she quickly took a step backward and reinforced her
landing on the ground.
John glanced at her and asked, “Are you okay? Did you sprain your ankle?”
Sherry’s eyes flickered.
Nine years ago, when they were still madly in love, Sherry would always lose her balance due to some large
movements. She would either fall or sprain her ankle. Every time she sprained her ankle, John would put ice on the
swollen foot and jokingly call her a clumsy person, but he was always gentle with his hands.
Sherry choked on the memories and was heart–stricken for a moment. She quickly pulled herself out of her

John hummed a reply. Then, he kicked her.
Sherry glared at him. “What was that for?!”
“To make you remember.”
The man then headed into the house with Caprice.
Annoyed, Sherry went after him and wanted to take revenge on him, but when she walked into the courtyard,
something at the side of her gaze caught her attention. She stopped and turned to the left side of the wall.
Madam Stockton had been waiting there for a while now, just to have a glance at
Caprice.
Sherry’s sudden attention shocked her, and she instinctively took a few steps back behind the wall. She came to see
Caprice, but she did not want Sherry to find out, or else, the wicked woman would badmouth her in front of John
again.
Sherry’s eyes flickered in that particular direction.
Jason, the bodyguard, asked, “Madam, what’s the matter?”
Sherry retracted her gaze and said, “Nothing.”
