Chapter 1508
Noticing the awkwardness in the air, Queenie asked, ” Mom, Brother, what’s wrong? Did you guys argue?”
John reached out to her. “I’ll carry Caprice.”
His other hand continued to hold onto Sherry’s hand.
Queenie did not want to leave her adorable niece, but she let go anyway.
John then glanced at Aunt Wanda. “Aunt Wanda, after they are done packing, send the luggage to my car.”
Aunt Wanda nodded. “Okay.”
John turned around and left with Caprice and Sherry. Madam Stockton said heavily, “It’s my fault! Okay?!”
John stopped.
Madam Stockton noticed the pause and immediately rushed to the front to explain, “Don’t leave. Sherry doesn’t need to leave anymore. I won’t chase her away again. Is

John’s gaze softened. He looked at Sherry. “Do you want to stay or leave?”
Madam Stockton looked at Sherry as well.
Sherry pursed her lips as she found herself at a crossroads.
Of course, she wanted to leave the nonsense behind and live with Caprice in a quiet place, but when she saw the anticipation in Madam Stockton’s eyes and Queenie’s
eagerness, she knew that the two of them did not want John or Caprice to leave.
Besides, she did not plan on staying for long either, and if John had a fallout with his mother because of her, things would end badly.
Sherry said, “I’ll stay.”
John’s gaze shifted.
Madam Stockton sighed a breath of relief. She looked at Sherry differently after the answer as if she was glad that Sherry made the better choice.
“Yay!” Queenie squealed happily. Her sharp squeal woke Caprice.
The girl opened her eyes with furrowed brows.
John immediately glanced at his sister.
Queenie nervously covered her mouth with her hands.
Madam Stockton went up to the girl and stared at her adorable face with utmost infatuation. She wanted to
hold her granddaughter, but John denied her.
“Mother, you’re tired already. Why don’t you go back and rest?” He sounded cold. He was obviously still holding a grudge against his mother for trying to chase Sherry out
of the house.
Madam Stockton knew his son’s temper well enough. She nodded and said, “I’ll go now. You and Caprice should rest early too.”
John curved his lips. “We know.”
Madam Stockton gazed into Caprice’s eyes deeply before she left.
After Madam Stockton left, Julie came over. “John, I didn’t handle the matter well. I should have talked Mother out of it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohn answered coldly, “Just go back.”
Julie puckered her lips as she turned around with a sour look.
He then headed into the house with Caprice and Sherry.
Queenie wanted to follow them inside, but John stopped her as well.
“You. Go back.”
Queenie pouted. She looked at Sherry pitifully.
Sherry then said, “It’s dinner time soon. Queenie will be alone even if she goes back. Why don’t we have her over for dinner?”
John looked at her.
Sherry smiled back.
John curved his lips and said, “Fine.”
Queenie widened her lips into a grin. She said, “Brother, can I play with Caprice for a little longer?”
John then put Caprice in her arms, and she brought Caprice back to the room.
Sherry still could not wrap her head around what just happened. She did not expect the man to be so easygoing this time. She thought he would deny Queenie’s request.
In addition to his leniency, he even defended her against Matthew and Janine and dealt with Madam Stockton once and for all.
Everything the man did today was out of the blue.
