Chapter 1489
“No, I can’t let this woman ruin his reputation. I have to figure something out,” Madam Stockton said defiantly and
marched back to her room.
Julie was left all by herself, cold and harsh wind beat against her.
She clenched her teeth and looked venomously in the direction of the courtyard before walking away.
Meanwhile, Sherry had just walked into the house and
met Aunt Wanda.
“Miss Sherry?” Aunt Wanda exclaimed and did not hide her surprise at seeing her.
Sherry was just as excited to see her, she smiled radiantly and greeted her.
Sylvia informed her that John employed Aunt Wanda and brought her to Glanchester with him after he took
Caprice.
She must have contributed greatly to Caprice’s current healthy state.
Sherry greeted her kindly and followed her into Caprice’s room.

It was decorated with all varieties of adorable plush toys of all kinds of sizes.
Her bed was pink-colored as well, positioned in the middle of the room. Tiny sparkling lights dangled over her bed
like stars in the night sky.
Sherry settled Caprice into her bed.
Aunt Wanda helped her take off the child’s coat, all done in one swift and practiced motion. Then, they covered her
with a large blanket.
After they were done, Sherry expressed in a heartfelt voice, “Aunt Wanda, thank you for helping me take care of
Caprice these last two years.”
Aunt Wanda smiled radiantly, beaming with pride. “No need to be so formal with me. Besides, Master Stockton pays
me a handsome wage, I don’t think there’s any other confinement nurse in the country making as much as I do. It’s
only right that I take care of Caprice as best as I can.”
Unaware that Sherry had already caught up with recent developments, Aunt Wanda shed some light on the
situation. “Caprice is with Master Stockton pretty much all the time so he’s the one caring for her the majority of
the time. I only help out with Caprice when he’s busy. He treats Caprice like a prized jewel and brings her with him
everywhere he goes. He wouldn’t trust anyone else with Caprice for an extended time, not even Madam Stockton!”
Sherry smiled.
John might be a complete scumbag with her, but nobody could accuse him of being a poor father.
Aunt Wanda was a chatterbox. She had always been this way even back then when Sylvia had arranged for her to
take care of Sherry who was still pregnant with Caprice. They would spend all their time gossiping about everything
under the sun.
After they were done talking about Caprice, Aunt Wanda moved on to another topic. “Miss Sherry, where have you
been for the past two years?”
“I went to Coastrock.”
Aunt Wanda was surprised to hear this. “Why did you go somewhere so far away?”
Sherry answered matter-of-factly, “I just felt like going there at the time.”
At that time, all she wanted was to get away from John. Coastrock stood out as the best option since it was a very
modern city and leagues away from Glanchester, so she went there.

“Well, it’s pretty fine.”
“Then what brought you back here?” Aunt Wanda expressed with a sigh, “I thought you should know this. Ever since
Caprice understood the concept of parents, she’s been asking day and night about why she didn’t have a mother. It
pains my heart to see her innocence and I didn’t know how to explain things to her.”
Sherry frowned and said, “Things didn’t go very well when I first got to Coastrock, things only got better in the past
six months.”
Aunt Wanda asked concernedly, “Was it some difficulties you ran into?”
Outside the bedroom door, the man who was just about to step into the room quickly halted. He lurked in the
shadow, beside the doorway where he was out in sight, and listened.
Sherry said in a hushed voice, “I did’run into some
problems, but it’s all settled now. I’m pretty much over it now.”
It was apparent that she did not want to recount those tales.
Aunt Wanda understood and smiled. “It’s alright, it’s all in the past now. I’m just glad you came back to us.”
Sherry smiled. “Yeah.”
“Are you going to leave again later on?”
