On the other line, the bodyguard was truthful with his reply.
"Ms.Fowler's refusing food."
John furrowed his brows.
Refusing food? Instead of giving her bread and canned vegetables, John had instructed that a sumptuous meal be
prepared for her.
Yet, she was refusing to eat.
Was she going on a hunger strike? With a smirk, he responded, "Give her something extra."
Avilla in the suburbs.
Sherry continued to remain in her sitting position without casting a glance at the dining table.
1 Time went by, and soon the footsteps of the maid drew close.
The scent of alcohol wafted in the air before she could even turn her head to thesource of the sound.
It was the aroma of fine wine.
The wine bottle had clearly been cracked open! Unable to resist, Sherry looked over.
The maid carried a tray holding a decanter filled with wine and a wine glass.

eat it while it's still warm." Sherry clenched her fists.
She had a drinking problem.

Sherry had pretty much kicked her addiction to alcohol
Although Sherry was tempted to drinkthe wine, she was not bothered if she did not.
Turning her head away, Sherry fixed her gaze somewhere else.
The maid was dumbfounded.
She had thought that Ms.Fowler would start eating if the wine was brought out.
Placing the wine on the table, the maid tried to get Sherry's attention.
Seeing that she could not get a reaction from Sherry, the maid walked away.
Silence returned to the living room.
It was unclear how much time had gone by, but drowsiness eventually swept over Sherry.

The oncoming footsteps stopped in front of the girl.
Sherry was lost in deep slumber.
Then, she was picked up from the sofa.
Sherry winced and opened her eyes to find herself being carried into a bedroom.
Who else was lifting her if not for John? Sherry was kicking up a fuss to get down when he flung
her to the bed.
With his slender figure towering over her, John clutched onto her chin and stated with a smile,
"Don't even think about threatening me with ahunger strike.
Dying of hunger won't get you out of here." Giving him a bitter smile, Sherry glaredat him.
"I'd rather starve to death than be your mistress!" Huh.
Amused, John burst out laughing.
"You? Starve to death? When pigs fly." Sherry was silent.
Her rage could be seen in her flushed face.
