Ch. 1491..1495

Chapter 1491

Chapter 1491 Queenie immediately glared at Sherry. However, she did not scold Sherry and rushed over to hug her instead. Fortunately, there was a wall behind Sherry. Otherwise, she would have been tackled to the ground.

After hugging Sherry for a while, Queenie released her and looked at her, saying, “Sherry Fowler, you're the president of Sager Corporation. Why do you still run your mouth so annoyingly?”

Sherry grinned at her. “You're already three years older. Why do you still dress so childishly?”

Her curly blonde hair and her puffy skirt were quite beautiful, but it was a style that only younger girls would pull off.

Queenie’s expression shifted. She planted her hands on her hips in anger. “Will it kill you to stop snubbing me for one second?” “Hehe...” Suddenly, a peal of childish laughter sounded.

Sherry quickly turned around.

The man, who had been sitting inside, had arrived at some point. His slender figure stood by the door frame as he looked at them with a smile in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Caprice was sitting in his arms, grinning happily. She was obviously amused by Sherry and Queenie’s banter. Unexpectedly, the little girl liked to watch people bicker. Sherry laughed.

Queenie seemed to be angered by Caprice’s mocking and raised her voice at the girl. “Caprice Stockton, what are you laughing at?”

Caprice held up her hand and covered her mouth.

However, her eyes were still curved. It was clear that she was still amused. Her little appearance was charming and adorable. Queenie snorted.

Sherry also smiled and held out her hand to the girl.

She was worried Caprice would not leave with her, so she said, “Caprice, your daddy has to work. Why don’t Aunt Queenie and | take you out to play for a while?”

She stared at Caprice after she spoke and did not notice the smile blooming in the man’s eyes. Was this woman being considerate of him?

Upon hearing that, Caprice immediately extended her chubby hand to Sherry.

Sherry instantly took her into her arms and turned to walk outside without sparing him a glance.

The smile in John’s eyes immediately turned cold. That woman only claimed that he wanted to work because she was worried that Caprice would not go with her.

Sherry learned from Queenie that Caprice liked to drive an excavator to shovel dirt. There was a large garden just behind. After Queenie spoke to the servants, Caprice’s pink excavator was quickly brought over.

The little girl wore a thick padded jacket as her two hands controlled the steering wheel. The excavator began to shovel the soil in the garden. Her cute little face looked very serious as if she was actually working on a job.

Furthermore, she did not need any help at all. Sherry and Queenie sat to the side and watched her dig.

Every time she dug up a handful of soil, Sherry praised her. “Wow, my baby Caprice is so amazing.”

Caprice smiled and dug harder.

While Queenie sat next to her and watched her interact with Caprice, the corners of her mouth also pulled up in a smile. After all, Madam Stockton and her often let Caprice dig and play, and Madam Stockton always praised Caprice for being amazing. However, the girl never seemed to hear her and only focused on digging. She had never

responded to the compliments before.

Now, it was apparent that it was not that Caprice could not hear, but that she did not want to pay attention to her grandmother at all.

Just like that, Caprice dug the soil for two hours.

Several large craters were created in the garden, and the little girl only stopped when she was tired. Then, she reached out to Sherry. “Mommy, hug.”

Sherry quickly took the girl into her arms. “Are you tired, Caprice? Do you want some water?” “Yes.”

Queenie passed Caprice’s water bottle over.

The girl sucked on the straw and took several gulps.

Sherry looked at her lovely appearance and could not help but smile. When Caprice finished drinking, she said, “My Caprice is such a good girl.” Caprice grinned. “Hehe...”

 

Chapter 1492

Chapter 1492 Queenie said there were other fun things to do at her place. The little girl was also tired of playing with the excavator, so Sherry carried her and followed Queenie to her courtyard.

There were indeed many ‘fun’ things here. There were all kinds of limited edition plush toys, dolls, beautiful action figures, and so on.

Sherry just placed Caprice down, and the girl beelined toward the pile of toys. She lifted the hem of her shirt and reached out to the group of dolls. When she saw something she liked, she simply took it without saying a word and placed it on her shirt.

Sherry was stunned. It was clear that Caprice’s actions were well practiced. She looked at Queenie who had her arms crossed. Her expression was like a rich person declaring, “Take whatever you want.”

After a while, Caprice only stopped moving when she could not fit any more toys on her shirt. She walked back to Sherry and looked at her with wide eyes.

Sherry asked, “Do you want Mommy to help you carry these back?”

Caprice said, “Yeah.”

Sherry smiled. “I can help you, but these are from your aunt, so you have to say ‘thank you’ to her first, understand?” Achild might not know better, but an adult did. Although Queenie did not mind, Caprice must have basic manners.

Caprice was confused. She obviously did not know that she had to thank people when she took stuff from them. After all, her father always let her take whatever she liked wherever she went with him.

Just then, Queenie said, “Caprice is my niece. You don’t need to tell her to thank me.”

Sherry ignored her and looked at Caprice seriously. ” Caprice, your aunt is your elder. She loves you and spoils you, so you have to be respectful to her. Understand?”

Caprice blinked her wide eyes, obviously not knowing what it meant to be respectful. Sherry’s lips twitched. Did that damned man spoil the little girl so much that he did not even teach her common courtesy? Fortunately, Caprice was born soft and cute. Otherwise, she would have been spoiled rotten.

Sherry crouched down in front of the girl so that they were eye-level, and said, “Caprice, while other people give you things out of kindness, we can’t just take them. It would be rude of us. Saying thank you is a polite response, understand?”

Caprice pursed her lips and seemed to comprehend it a little.

Sherry smiled. “Aunt Queenie gave you so many pretty dolls, so you should say ‘thank you’ to her, right?” Caprice hummed.

“Go on, then. Say ‘thank you*.*

Caprice obediently looked at Queenie and said, “Thank you, Aunty.” Her voice was sweet and childish. Queenie smiled back at her. “You're welcome!”

Caprice looked back at Sherry.

Sherry praised with a smile, “My baby Caprice is so obedient and polite.”

Caprice curled her lips up and gave all the dolls on her shirt to Sherry.

In turn, Sherry took a bag from Queenie and placed the dolls in it. Then, she looked up and saw Caprice go back to the pile of dolls, and then place the pretty ones on her shirt again.

When she came out, she said to Queenie, “Thank you, Aunty.”

Queenie smiled and said, “You’re welcome.”

This time, the girl did not go back inside after giving the dolls to Sherry.

Sherry helped her put all the dolls into the bag.

Caprice reached out toward her.

Sherry held the bag with one hand and carried Caprice with the other.

“Let's go back, Mommy,” her little mouth muttered.

Queenie was instantly upset. “Caprice, how could you just leave after taking my stuff? You're heartless.” Caprice said again, “Thank you, Aunty.”

Queenie’s anger immediately fizzled out.

The little girl was obviously a quick learner.

Sherry laughed and said to Queenie, “Do you want to come over to our place to play for a while?”

Chapter 1493

Queenie’s gaze lit up, and she said, “I don’t have anything to do at the moment. Since you want me to go so much, I'll go with you guys.”

It was very cold outside.

Sherry hugged Caprice tightly after they walked out of Queenie’s place. Queenie followed them.

When they reached a corner, they met Julie head-on.

Julie smiled at Sherry, but the smile that hung on Sherry’s lips instantly disappeared. She glanced coldly at Julie then simply walked past her with Caprice in her arms, not paying attention to Julie.

The smile on Julie’s face stiffened.

Queenie sensed something was off and said with a smile, ” Julie, I’m going to John’s place tonight, so | won't be having dinner with you and Mom.”

Julie smiled and said, “Okay.” However, after Queenie and Sherry went far away, her face instantly turned cold again.

‘Sherry Fowler, what is it about you that makes John care so much about you? You're from such a poor background. How dare someone like you dare to ignore me?!"

Meanwhile, Queenie caught up to Sherry and asked in confusion, “Why did you ignore Julie?” She remembered that although Sherry and Julie were not close before, they would at least greet each other when they met.

Sherry replied, “I didn’t want to pay attention to her.” “Why? Did she offend you?”

“Yeah.”

Queenie was stunned. “When? How did she offend you?”

At that moment, in Sherry’s arms, Caprice was also looking at her. Her wide eyes were full of curiosity. She seemed to understand the conversation between Sherry and Queenie.

Sherry did not want her to hear these bad things, so she said to Queenie, “It’s a long story. I'll tell you later.” “Okay.”

In a short while, Sherry and Queenie returned to John’s place with Caprice and the pile of beautiful dolls that Caprice had taken from Queenie.

Caprice wanted to be placed down when they arrived at the warm house, so Sherry put her down. The little girl reached out again and asked for the bag of dolls Sherry was carrying.

After Sherry passed the bag to her, the girl dragged the bag and went down the corridor in the direction of the bedroom.

Sherry followed her in confusion.

Just when she thought the little girl was going to drag all the dolls into her room, the girl walked straight through the door of Sherry’s room instead. She went into the room which had just been tidied for Sherry today.

Sherry’s eyes flickered as she hurriedly went after Caprice.

When the girl entered the room, she took out the dolls from the bag, climbed up the bed using the small stool beside it, and placed the dolls in a conspicuous place on the bed.

Although it did not match the decor of the simple room, the contrast was quite cute.

Sherry curled up the corners of her lips, and her eyes could not help but light up. She did not expect the little girl to take so many things from Queenie just to place them in her room.

The little girl walked back after setting up the last doll. Her large eyes shone brightly as she looked at Sherry. She seemed to be waiting for praise.

Sherry fished her into her arms and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, saying happily, “I love it, Caprice. Thank you for giving all these to me!”

Caprice smiled. “You’re welcome, Mommy.”

 

Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494 The little girl was just so cute! Sherry could not resist her and kissed her face twice again.

Standing not far away, Queenie was dumbfounded. After all, Caprice did not like to be too close to people and rarely let people hold her, let alone kiss her.

‘The girl will definitely be unhappy with how frantically Sherry is kissing her.’

However, just as she had that thought, Caprice pouted her lips and softly pressed a kiss to Sherry’s cheek as well. Queenie was speechless.

“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Caprice said to Sherry.

Sherry immediately picked her up. “Mommy will get you something delicious to eat.”

She walked over after saying that. When she passed Queenie and saw the latter's shocked expression, she could not help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”

Caprice’s large eyes also looked at her curiously.

Queenie snapped back to her senses. “N-nothing.”

Sherry carried Caprice out.

The snacks were all freshly made on the day itself. There were a few plates of delicious morsels on the table. Sherry placed her down, and she reached out for the snacks. She ate slowly like a chick pecking at grains. Sherry and Queenie sat to the side while chatting and eating with Caprice.

In the study, the man, who had been working for a long time, came out. When he reached the corridor, he heard the sound of Sherry and Queenie chatting in the living room.

Caprice sat between them, eating snacks. The warm living room was filled with their voices. It was very different from the usual coldness, and the atmosphere was warm. He leaned against the wall and watched them for a while. The corners of his lips also subconsciously curled up.

When Caprice was tired from eating and lay in Sherry’s arms to nap, Queenie asked in a soft voice, “Sherry, | heard you got a marriage certificate with my brother again. Is that true?”

She looked at Sherry with a bright gaze. It seemed like she very much wanted Sherry and John to be together.

Sherry did not want to lie to her, so she said, “We did, but it was because of Caprice. "

“That’s great!” Queenie said excitedly, “You won't leave anymore, right?” She obviously did not listen to Sherry’s last sentence. Sherry pursed her lips and repeated her answer to Aunt Wanda earlier. “Yeah. I'll go wherever Caprice goes.”

Queenie smiled and asked, “How did you become the president of Sager Corporation?” She looked curious, and there were a few hints of admiration for Sherry’s status in her eyes.

Sherry laughed and said, “| met Madam Sager not long after | went to Coastrock, then | joined Sager Corporation and became the president.”

Queenie wrinkled her nose. “You became the president right after she brought you into the company?”

“No.” Sherry took a bite of Caprice’s snack and said, ” Sager Corporation wasn’t doing well back then. | helped them pick up a big order, and Madam Sager let me into the marketing department because she thought that | was somewhat capable. After that, | felt that Sager Corp could develop entertainment projects, so | helped them expand their clubhouses and opened several nightclubs and other entertainment establishments. The projects | handled went well, so | was promoted to become president.

Queenie cupped her cheeks in her hands and said, “I really didn’t expect you to have a knack for business.”

Sherry raised her brows. “Well, | used to run a nightclub in Westchester.” Furthermore, she ran it very well. If she had not come to Glanchester and was put under house arrest by John...

Her eyes darkened. She did not want to think about those things, so she reached out and took Caprice’s juice pack and drank it. It was sweet and sour, and very delicious.

Queenie suddenly glared at her. “You're going to finish all of Caprice’s snacks if you keep eating.” “lm her mom. | can eat them all if | want to.” Queenie snorted.

Not far away, the slender figure of the man leaned against the wall while listening to their conversation. His eyes behind his glasses flickered several times.

She made it sound simple, but the Sager Corporation was a well-known family business. Its shareholders and top management were all members of the Sager family. She must have gone through many hardships to become the president of Sager Corporation.

 

Chapter 1495

However, Sherry’s talent for business should not be underestimated.

would

If he had not kept her at home for those two years, she have been able to make a name for herself a long time ago? Just as he was contemplating, Sherry suddenly stood up with Caprice in her arms.

His gaze changed as he pursed his lips, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Sherry was going to send Caprice back to her room to sleep. Unexpectedly, she saw him right as she turned around.

He came out of the study at some point and had been eavesdropping for an unknown amount of time. His posture was lazy as he smiled languidly.

Sherry’s brows wrinkled.

What was that look supposed to mean?

Queenie also saw him and asked with a smile, “Are you done with work?” “Yeah.” John pursed his lips and said to her, “Stay for dinner later.” Queenie’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”

it was

Although she did not intend to go back for dinner, different when her brother personally asked her to stay. After all, he had not spoken to her with such a smile for a long time.

Since Sherry ran away three years ago, he only ate at

home a handful of times. His attitude to them was cold and indifferent, and he always looked listless. It was only after he brought back Caprice from Westchester that he started to smile a little more.

The dinner was sumptuous, and all the dishes were excellent. Sherry ate a lot and had a few sips of wine with Queenie.

However, Queenie was not a good drinker and got inebriated after a few glasses. After dinner, she clung to Sherry’s arm and declared that she was not going back to her place to sleep. She insisted on sleeping with Sherry.

Sherry wanted to help the woman to her room and let her sleep, but the man’s somewhat displeased voice rang out. “You two, help her back to her place,” he ordered two servants.

Sherry said, “She drank too much. Just let her sleep with me.” John said without changing his expression, “She’s a wild drunk. She'll disturb Caprice.” Sherry pursed her lips.

Queenie was already almost asleep. How wild could she get? Furthermore, Caprice was a heavy sleeper. She would not wake up that easily.

However, John’s words were the law in this house, so the two servants helped Queenie up.

Sherry did not say anything else and let go.

After seeing the two servants help Queenie out, Sherry turned around and went directly into Caprice’s room. She did not even look at him, let alone talk to him.

John narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat displeased.

However, that displeasure was quickly covered by other emotions. She was his wife now. There was nowhere left for her to run. There was plenty of time for him to deal with her in the future.

In Caprice’s room, the little girl was still sleeping when Sherry came in.

Sherry sat beside the girl and took out her phone. She had finished all her work in advance a few days ago, but there might be unexpected situations. She wanted to see if

there were any urgent matters in the work group chat.

As soon as she opened her phone, she saw a message that was sent from Carl an hour ago. “Sherry, why didn’t you answer me when | knocked on your door? Did you go out? Are you not back yet?”

Sherry’s expression flickered. ‘Oh no, | forgot to tell him that | was moving out.’

While she was thinking about how to tell him about it, her phone screen suddenly flickered. It was an incoming call from Carl.
