Chapter 1580
Shortly after that, she picked out one of the pictures and sent it to John,
accompanied with a message. “John, a friend of mine ran into Sherry when she was at the park and sent me this picture. I thought really hard about whether I should send
this to you but I think it’s the right thing to do.”
Meanwhile, in another city miles away from Glanchester.
A silver car was cruising down the highway.
Ding!
A phone rang inside the car, indicating a message had been received.
John was seated by himself in the back row. He reached for the phone in his pocket and read the message. In an instant, a gleam of ice flashed past his eyes.
Ding!
The phone rang again, it was a follow-up message from Julie, “My friend said that those two chatted for some time. It doesn’t look like they’re up to anything in particular,
maybe it’s just a coincidental meeting at the park.”
A mere coincidental meeting?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGlanchester was a large city. What were the odds that they just happened to bump into each other at the park?
John clutched the phone tightly in his palms and seemed like he was going to crush it with sheer force. He silently looked at the picture of Sherry and Mason standing together,
both with bright smiles on their faces. His mind immediately jogged back to the harrowing memories from nine years ago.
He recalled how he had severed ties with his family because of Sherry. He went on a desperate job hunt to no avail and had to resort to renting a cheap apartment with
Sherry, where the two had to live frugally. Soon, Sherry proposed to break up because she could not stand the condition they were living in.
Even now, he could remember how dejected he felt then. He blamed himself for not being motivated enough and failing to provide a cozy life for Sherry. He was not willing to
let go of the relationship and was practically begging Sherry to give him two years. He would slave away, taking all sorts of labor work to ensure a better life for the two of
them.
On a fateful rainy night mixed with a thundering storm, he managed to leave work
early and head back to their cheap rental apartment. That was when he stumbled into the scene of Sherry sharing the bed with Mason…
What he saw that night was scalded into his memory.
After being caught cheating, Sherry did not express any signs of remorse. On the contrary, she took the chance to vent out all of the pent–out frustration inside her, blaming
him for subjecting her to such poor conditions of living and expressing that she had had enough. She insulted him and said that Mason was a much better man than he was
and wanted to be with Mason.
He gave in and let her walk away with Mason.
She did not even bother to pack up her things. She put on her clothes and left with Mason without another word, leaving him all alone in that desolate house on a stormy
night…
Was it a mere coincidence that the two happened to bump into each other while he
was on a business trip?
His eyes twitched uncontrollably. Even his veins were beginning to bulge when the implications came to him.
He shut his eyes and tried to calm his nerves.
After a while, he opened his eyes and announced solemnly, “Peter, book me the earliest flight back home.”
Peter was surprised by this sudden order. “Sir, you mean right now?”
“Right now.”
“But you have an important meeting scheduled later.”
“I said, right now!” He roared without warning.
Peter recoiled and quickly obliged. “Yes, sir. I’ll book a flight right this moment.”
The morning passed quickly.

After they ate, they went shopping.
Around evening, she brought Caprice back home.
As soon as they got back, they ran into Queenie. She quickly took Caprice into her
arms and greeted her warmly.
Sherry recalled that Queenie went on a blind date arranged by Madam Stockton today and asked out of curiosity, “How did the blind date go?”
Queenie answered quite frankly, “He’s a nice guy, but he’s not my type.”
Sherry smiled and made no further comment.
Queenie took the opportunity to ask, “Hey Sherry, can I take Caprice to my mom’s again today? She’s not in a very good mood today and I can’t cheer her up after what I do.
Really, I wonder what’s been going on with her lately.”
Sherry quickly noted, “Sure, I happen to have something planned for tonight. Feel free to take Caprice.”
“Alright, thanks!” Queenie thanked her and brought Caprice to Madam Stockton’s .
Sherry trailed after them as usual and turned back at the entrance to Madam Stockton’s courtyard after she made sure that the two had gone inside.
She then sent Mason a message and asked where they were going to grab dinner.
Mason replied with a location tag.
Without wasting any time, she got into the car and went straight for the location Mason had sent her.
