Ch. 1461..1465

Chapter 1461

At that moment, the car happened to pull into a commercial street lined with clothing stores.

Ashop retailing provocative women’s clothing stood out.

Sherry’s eyes flickered. “Brandon, stop the car.”

Brandon immediately pulled over.

Sherry pushed open the door and got out.

Tristan hurriedly followed her and asked curiously, “Ms. Sherry, do you want to buy some clothes?” Sherry’s lips curled up. “Yeah.”

The morning passed by.

At lunchtime, John put down his work, took Caprice out for a delicious children’s meal, and returned to the office. The girl was sleepy after eating, so he carried her into the lounge inside and let her sleep on the bed. He came out after she fell asleep since he was not sleepy yet.

Sitting on the couch, he drank the tea his secretary

poured, picking up his phone with one hand and casually scrolling through it. He had a habit of checking his friends ‘social media.

He had not looked at his phone since the morning, so there were quite a few new posts.

As he scrolled, he reached a familiar figure. The woman with wavy hair wore a seductive, tight black dress under the smoky light while reclining on a sofa. The dress outlined her curvaceous figure. She rested one hand on her cheek with her eyes closed.

Her posture was relaxed, but everything about her screamed seduction and temptation. She was drop-dead gorgeous. She was none other than Sherry.

Sherry was the one who had posted the selfie. In addition to the photo, she added a caption that said, “No work today, so I'ma little bored.”

John narrowed his eyes as his throat bobbed. Ashort while later, his finger typed on the comment bar, “Are you that free?” Sherry replied in the next second, “I’m not as busy as you, Master Stockton.”

John snorted a laugh, and his fingers typed on the keyboard again. “I’m a little free now. If you want to see me, come over in half an hour, or | won't wait.”

Sherry replied, “Sure thing.”

John smiled and tapped on the picture again.

As though he was admiring a beautiful painting, he stared

at it for a long time and did not close it.

When a knock sounded outside the door, he finally put down his phone. Peter walked in and looked at him, saying, “Master

Stockton, Ms. Fowler is here. She said you asked her to

come over. She's downstairs now.”

So soon?

John curled his lips. “Tell her to come up.” “Yes, sir.” Peter turned around and walked out.

As John straightened his collar, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms in front of him, and looked at the closed door calmly.

About two minutes later, there was a knock at the door.

The rat-a-tat was obviously different from how Peter usually knocked.

He smiled. “Come in.”

The door of the office was pushed open, and a slim and straight figure walked in.

Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, the man’s eyes that initially held a wicked smile froze instantly, and his expression also fell. “Good afternoon, Master Stockton. Have you eaten?” Sherry asked while stepping closer to him.

“Heh.”

She was wearing a shirt and a black suit, appearing very different from the photo. Even her curled hair in the photo had become straight and was pulled into a ponytail

behind her head.

Her entire physique exuded the capable and professional aura of a corporate lady.

 

Chapter 1462

“What are you laughing at? Have you not eaten? Or are you still hungry?” Sherry revealed a cordial and concerned expression. “Do you want me to treat you to another meal?”

John was silent for a few moments before smiling. “You posted that picture just for me to see, didn’t you?” Sherry froze for a moment and asked, “Are you talking about the photo you commented on on my social media?” “Yes.”

Sherry smiled. “You think too much. | took that photo a long time ago and happened to be a bit bored this morning, so | uploaded a selfie along with my post.”

John pursed his lips and looked at her sharply.

Sherry’s gaze flickered, and she asked, “Master Stockton,

don’t tell me you asked me to come over because you were attracted by that photo of mine.”

She had a surprised expression. However, it would have

been more natural if the corners of her mouth did not

twitch while she held back a smile.

John’s throat constricted for a moment, then he curled his lips. “What kind of partnership did you want to talk to me about?”

Sherry immediately put the prepared letter of intent on the desk in front of him and said, “We want to develop a casino in Glanchester and sincerely invite you to join and mentor us. The specific details of the project are inside, so please read it.”

John’s eyes flickered slightly. This was the first time he had seen her look so serious in all the years he had known her. She looked quite capable.

He lowered his head and flipped through the letter of

intent, but he only skimmed through a few pages before tossing it to the side. Sherry frowned.

He smiled and looked at her. “I’m not free now. When |

am, I'll definitely read it over carefully and get back to

you.”

Sherry forced a smile. “Sure.”

That damned man must be deliberately putting on airs.

“| still have work to do and can’t entertain you, so you

can leave now.” With that, he picked up his teacup and drank from it.

Sherry looked around the office.

There was a space filled with children’s toys and plushies. It was clear at first glance that it was Caprice’s area. However, Caprice was not around. She could understand if he did not bring Caprice to last night’s Business Association conference because it had been crowded.

However, he should have brought her over today.

“What are you still standing there for?” The man’s somewhat irritated voice suddenly rang out.

Sherry’s gaze flickered, and she clutched her stomach while frowning at him. “I suddenly have a stomachache. Do you have a washroom here, Master Stockton?”

John narrowed his eyes. “No.”

Sherry frowned at him. “Then, how do you usually go to

the toilet?”

He glanced at her. “If you want to go to the toilet, then go

outside.”

“No, it hurts too much. | can’t hold it in anymore!” She

suddenly ran toward the lounge inside his office while holding her stomach.

John was unable to react in time, and she managed to run past him. His expression darkened as he quickly chased

after her.

Sherry scampered into the lounge in a flash. Unsurprisingly, she saw Caprice’s figure on the bed.

The little girl’s chubby body was lying under the small quilt. Her two small hands were clenched into tiny fists resting on top of the quilt, and her eyes and mouth were closed as she slept soundly.

Sherry’s eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to go.

over.

However, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came

from behind her.

She did not want him to throw her out so quickly.

Looking around, she saw the washroom and headed

straight in that direction. Then, she closed the door after going inside.

John happened to walk in at that moment. He looked at the still-sleeping Caprice, then at the washroom door that had just been closed, and held back his anger. He stopped and walked over to the bed. The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Sherry crouched right behind the washroom door.

After not hearing any movement outside for a long time, she quietly pulled the door open a crack and moved to the doorway to look outside.

The next thing she saw was a pair of long, straight legs right in front of her. She tilted her head and met a pair of eyes smiling sinisterly.

John curled his lips at her. “Done with your business ?” Sherry smiled. “Not yet.”

 

Chapter 1463

John’s gaze was cold. “Get out.”

Sherry pursed her lips. She could not continue to squat there, so she tugged the door handle to stand up. However, as soon as she did, her abdomen suddenly experienced an uncomfortable sensation.

Brrt!

Accrisp fart sound instantly rang out.

John’s fair face turned green for an instant.

Sherry laughed sheepishly. “Sorry, | didn’t mean to. Why don’t you go out for a while? | want to let out a few more.” John curled his lips. “Do you believe me if | tell you I'll beat your *ss?”

She was a little upset. “It’s not like | can control it. Don’t you usually fart when you take a dump? Besides, it’s not like you've never heard it before.”

When she was with him in the past, she farted a lot when she could not hold it in, but she had never heard him fart before. John’s eyes looked at her coldly. “I'll give you until the count of three to get out here.”

“Fine, fine. You're so petty.” Sherry held back the fart she wanted to let out, pushed open the door, and walked out. Her gaze fluttered over to Caprice on the bed.

Bam.

In the next second, her butt was kicked.

Sherry stumbled forward two steps. She turned around and glared at him angrily. “What was that for?” All she did was farted! John looked at her. “I can kick you whenever | want.”

“Are you picking a fight?” She rolled up her sleeves.

He sneered. “Yeah, come on and fight me.”

His voice and gaze were contemptuous. It was as if he was saying she was just blowing hot air.

Sherry was indeed just putting on bravado, but it would appear too cowardly if she suddenly admitted that she would not beat him up.

Her eyes flickered as she looked behind him. The wall was behind him. She could slam him into the wall hard and turn around to run away.

With her mind made up, she snorted and said, “Just you wait!”

Then, she rammed into him with all her might.

Just as she was about to hit him, his straight figure suddenly moved a step to the side. Sherry’s eyes widened as she tried to stop, but she

obviously could not brake in time.

Bam!

She collided with the wall and hissed in pain.

“Heh...” The man’s mocking voice immediately sounded.

Sherry’s chest tightened.

“Damn you!” she shouted in anger and turned around to

charge at him again.

John stood unmoving.

Sherry slammed head-first into him and was stuck in his arms. His upright figure was like a statue, not moving at all.

She was confused and looked up at him.

(

He looked down at her and said with an evil expression, Ms. Fowler, did you say you wanted to go to the washroom because you wanted to throw yourself at me?”

Sherry rolled her eyes and was just about to push him away. However, his hand gripped her waist, and she could not push him away.

Her expression changed, and she raised her fist to pound his chest, but he caught her wrists with his other hand. He lowered his head, and his handsome face suddenly approached her.

The distance between their lips shortened. Sherry’s eyes widened in shock.

He tightened his arms around her waist and lowered his head again.

“Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?” A childish voice suddenly chimed.

 

Chapter 1464

Chapter 1464 Just as John was about to kiss Sherry, he froze. Sherry pushed him away and turned her head to look over.

At some point in time, Caprice had woken up. She sat with her little legs crossed, and her pigtails were mussed up. She held her chubby face as her eyes looked blankly at John and Sherry. She looked incredibly confused and cute.

Almost instantly, Sherry rushed to her and wrapped the little girl in her arms. “Caprice, what did you call me?”

She looked at Caprice excitedly, but Caprice did not seem to understand why Sherry was so excited. While her large eyes were slightly confused, she still replied, “Mommy.”

The tip of Sherry’s nose stung as her eyes instantly reddened. Then, she picked up the little girl’s chubby face and peppered kisses on her.

Caprice was at a loss for words. Standing by the side, John was also speechless.

It was a while before Sherry stopped kissing Caprice, but she still held her daughter’s cute face and said excitedly, ” My baby Caprice is so good.”

She thought she had to get Caprice to open up to her before the girl would be willing to call her Mommy. Caprice’s eyes flickered in confusion. “Why are your eyes red?”

Sherry said with a smile, “Because you called me

Mommy. I’m very happy.”

Caprice asked, “Does being called Mommy make you that happy?”

After thinking about it, she raised her little face to look at John, and said, “Mommy.”

John was speechless.

Sherry was also dumbfounded. She quickly turned the girl's face toward her and corrected, “Caprice, I’m Mommy. Mommy is here. He’s Daddy, not Mommy.”

Caprice let out an ‘oh’.

Smooch.

Sherry kissed her daughter on the forehead again and then asked, “Caprice, why don’t | take you out to play?” Caprice shook her head. “I’m sleepy. | don’t want to

play.”

Her face also instantly looked drowsy.

Sherry was a little disappointed, but she did not want to force the girl, so she immediately said, “Okay, then you go back to sleep.”

Caprice lay back down.

Sherry looked at her intently and sat by the bed without moving. John walked over and looked at her coldly. “You can leave now.” Sherry frowned. However, she had managed to see

Caprice today and even heard her daughter call her” Mommy” twice. It was already beyond her expectations. She did not insist on staying and was just about to stand

1. up. “Stay, Mommy.” Caprice, who had just laid down, suddenly tugged on Sherry’s hand. Sherry’s eyes lit up in joy. Then, she turned her head to look at John, who did not appear very happy. “You go handle your work first. ’ll stay with Caprice. Don’t worry. I'll leave as soon as she falls asleep.” John gave her a look. “Caprice doesn’t like noise, so keep your voice down and don't fart at her.” Sherry glared at him in embarrassment. John pursed his lips and went out. Soon, only Sherry and Caprice were left in the lounge.

Sherry climbed into the bed and sat next to Caprice, holding her little hand and coaxing her to sleep. “Go to sleep, Caprice. Mommy is right beside you. Mommy isn’t going anywhere.”

Her voice was calm and soft like a gentle stream. Outside the door of the lounge, the man curled his lips before striding toward his desk. In the lounge, after Sherry said this, Caprice closed her eyes.

The little girl fell asleep quickly. Sherry could not help but lie down beside her and look at her cute little face up close.

 

Chapter 1465

Maybe the indoor temperature was too comfortable, or the little girl’s steady breathing had a hypnotic effect, but after staring at Caprice for a long time, Sherry suddenly felt sleepy as well.

She laid down next to the girl and closed her eyes for a little while.

However, not long after that, she soon succumbed to

slumber.

When she opened her eyes again, Caprice was sitting beside her, looking at her with wide eyes. She was dressed neatly. Her pigtails were secured tidily, and she was eating a milk cracker in her hand.

Sherry was stunned and turned her head to see the sky

outside but saw John instead.

He stood leaning by the wall not far away with his arms crossed in front of him, looking at her with a disgusted expression.

Sherry shot up straight and took out her phone from her pocket to look at it.

It was already 5 p.m.!

Did she sleep here for almost four hours?

“Um... | didn’t fall asleep on purpose.” She chuckled sheepishly at John.

John curled his lips. “If you’re awake, then get the hell out of here.”

Sherry looked at him and turned to say to Caprice,

(

Caprice, Mommy has to go now. I’ll come back to sleep with you another day, okay?”

“Okay,” the little girl answered softly.

Sherry immediately picked the girl up and gave her a big kiss on her cheeks again before releasing her. Then, she got up and walked out.

Passing by John’s side, she smiled and said to him, ”

Don't forget to read the letter of intent, Master Stockton. I'll come back to visit you in a couple of days.” After that, she walked out without waiting for John to

respond.

Her figure disappeared quickly.

John pursed his lips, walked to the bedside, and took

Caprice into his arms. He raised his hand to touch her little head and said gently, “Daddy is done with work now, Caprice. Let's go home.”

Caprice, however, was still staring in the direction Sherry had just left. Her mouth asked, “Daddy, why did you tell Mommy to get the hell out?”

John’s eyes flickered. After a moment, he said, “Daddy was just joking with her. She won’t mind.”

Caprice hummed.

He carried her and walked outside. Thinking of

something, he asked, “Caprice, were you happy sleeping with Mommy?”

“Yeah.”

John curled his lips.

Caprice added, “I'd be happier if Mommy didn’t snore.”

John was speechless.

That woman still snored in her sleep?

Sherry walked out of Stockton Tower feeling refreshed. She had most likely fallen asleep with Caprice for so long

because she did not sleep much last night.

Ten minutes later, her car drove to Elysian Hotel where she lived.

She got out of the car, put both hands in her pockets, and hummed a little tune as she returned to her room. She had just closed her door when her phone rang.

It was a voice message from Carl. “My dear Sherry, are you done with work? I'll accompany you for dinner, and then we can go shopping.”

Sherry had gotten a call from him when she was on her

way to find John in the afternoon. He had said that he

wanted to eat and go shopping with her, but she had refused him because of work.

This guy was probably too bored and wanted to find

someone to accompany him.

Sherry replied, “I’m still busy. Find someone else

instead.”

Carl said, “Can't you work tomorrow instead?”

Sherry said, “No.”

Carl responded, “Boring. I'll look for entertainment by myself. You can coop yourself up in your room.”

Sherry ignored him. She opened her social media and deleted the picture that she had uploaded in the morning and was only visible to John.

Her purpose of going to see Caprice had already been achieved, so there was no need to keep that photo.
