Chapter 1395
The driver joked. “You’re usually the one on the chase, it’s interesting to see the tables turned around for once.”
Sherry expressed with a tired sigh, “I can’t confront this man just yet, all I can do is bide my time and hide for now.”
It was fortunate that she made it out shortly after John left with Caprice. If she had dallied around a moment longer, she would be caught by John.
She wagered that Caprice could not keep her lips sealed and eventually confessed everything to John after getting into the car with him.
There was no chance that she would hide a secret from John considering how close the two were.
Just the sheer thought of the bond the two shared was searing to Sherry.
If it was not for his underhanded move of breaking
into the confinement center to take Caprice away from her two years ago, Caprice would undoubtedly choose her over him any day of the week!
An hour later, inside the lobby on the first floor of the clubhouse.
John was seated on the sofa with Caprice in his arms.

Caprice had fallen asleep by this point.
John carefully balanced her in one hand while he flipped through the stack of
documents with his other hand. It was a compiled list of all the registered members at the clubhouse.
When he arrived at the last page, he immediately spotted the name ‘Sherry Fowler‘, it was the latest entry.
It would appear that she had only registered this very night.
He was puzzled by this. His coming here with Caprice was a last–minute decision, how did Sherry come to know of it?
He fell into deep thought, then he picked up his phone and noted down the phone number Sherry registered with.
The manager observed what he was doing and informed cautiously, “Master Stockton, we had no idea that Miss Sherry was involved with you at all. If we knew, we’d have infor
John returned the stack of documents to the manager
after saving Sherry’s contact. He smiled courteously and pardoned the manager. “It’s alright. If you see her again, please make sure she doesn’t sneak away.”
The manager answered confidently, “Yes, sir. If we ever see her again, I promise you that we won’t let her get away.”
John saw that there was no need to prolong their conversation so he carried Caprice and walked out.
Nobody spoke the entire way home.
By the time they arrived back at the house, it was already midnight.
The rain outside had progressed from a gentle trickle to a downpour.
John took Caprice and quickly trotted into the house.
The lights inside the house were still on.
As soon as he walked inside, Madam Stockton, Queenie, and Julie came out to greet him.
Madam Stockton led the charge and asked John
anxiously, “John, why did you come home so late today? Is Caprice asleep already?”
“Yeah.” John stepped up to her and carefully passed the sound asleep Caprice to her, then he promptly
unbuttoned his jacket.
Madam Stockton carefully took the girl, an affectionate
look surfaced on her face when she observed how peacefully Caprice was sleeping.

Julie approached John. “Here, give me the coat.”
John obliged and handed her the coat, then he took Caprice back into his arms.
Madam Stockton seemed slightly perturbed by this and complained a little, “Come on, let me hug her just a little longer, won’t you?”
She gestured for John to hand Caprice to her.
John refused to yield. “It’s very late and she needs to rest. You can hug her all you want tomorrow.”
With that, he took Caprice and went straight back to the
bedroom.
Madam Stockton grimaced, it was as if John did not trust her to not wake Caprice up!
Everyone knew that the real reason was that he was very possessive of his precious daughter.
As upset as Madam Stockton was, she could not fault him for it. She tried to follow John into the bedroom to get one last look at her precious granddaughter before they retired
Queenie and Julie both trailed after her.

They watched silently as John took off the child’s coat in one swift, practiced motion. After that, he tucked her into bed and made sure she was covered with warm blankets.
