Chapter 1490
Sherry’s eyes flickered and she said with determination, ” I came back for Caprice so I’ll go wherever she goes.”
Aunt Wanda admired her love for her daughter, then she asked, “You and Master Stockton…”
“We got engaged, we just got the marriage certificate today.”
Aunt Wanda seemed thrilled by this.
Sherry quickly added, “We only got engaged for Caprice’s sake. The marriage is nothing more than a formality and
it would have never happened if not for Caprice. Please don’t think that anything is going on between us.”
Aunt Wanda seemed confused by this queer arrangement.
Standing stealthily by the doorway, the man’s expression darkened, and a crook smile formed on his lips.
A formality? Nothing going on between the two of them?
What nonsense!
Sherry chatted with Aunt Wanda for quite a while.
At one point, Caprice woke up. She slowly pried her sleepy eyes open and muttered sleepily, “I want to poop.”

Sherry reached Caprice one step ahead of her and said, ” Aunt Wanda, let me handle this.”
Aunt Wanda was surprised by this preposition and asked, “Miss Sherry, are you sure you want to do this? I can
handle this.”
Sherry offered. “You can teach me.‘
If she were to take Caprice and run away, she would have to do these things by herself so this was a good chance
for her to learn.
Aunt Wanda smiled kindly. “Alright.”
They went to the bathroom together.
There was a children -size toilet specifically built for her.
Following Aunt Wanda’s meticulous instructions, Sherry let Caprice sit on the toilet.
The child was very easy to take care of.
The only thing she needed help with was in taking her pants off. After that, Sherry and Aunt Wanda turned away to
give her some privacy and she was done in no time.
They helped her wash her hands and tied her hair into two adorable buns before heading back into the room.
She looked around the room, freshly energized after the rest she got.
Sherry asked, “Caprice, where do you want to go?”
Caprice did not answer and walked out on her own.
Aunt Wanda smiled and informed Sherry, “I think she’s looking for Master Stockton.”
Sherry felt a spike of jealousy.
She did not hold it against Caprice. After all, she had spent two years by her father’s side.
Sherry took a deep breath and followed her.
Just as Aunt Wanda said, the girl walked down the corridor and quickly found her way toward the study.
She pressed her entire weight against the door and flung it open.
John was staring at his phone with a focused look.
He must be working again.
The moment he noticed Caprice entering, a gentle and doting smile took over his previously stern expression.
The little girl walked up to him and crawled into his arms.

With that, he hung up and set the phone aside.
He wrapped one arm around Caprice and picked up a sheet of document with another hand.
Attending to Caprice while working was apparently a part of his daily routine.
Caprice did not utter a word, she rested quietly in John’s arms.
Sherry stood outside and observed their interaction through the crack of the door, a bitter sensation rose inside
her.
Caprice was so attached to John.
She wondered when she would receive the same kind of attention from Caprice.
“Sherry! It’s really you!”
Suddenly, a deafening cry sounded from behind her.
Sherry nearly got a heart attack. She spun around and met Queenie’s bewildered eyes, she seemed like she was
about to burst into tears.
Sherry was delighted to see her and greeted her with a smile, “If it isn’t you, I haven’t seen you for a few years!
What’s with that peacock voice of yours?”
