Chapter 1523
Sherry was furious beyond words.
After Sylvia followed Odell out of the room, Sherry grabbed the dice cup and swung it
at John.
Thud!
He caught her hand mid–air.
John clutched her hand, got up, and approached her. His eyes narrowed as he said,” Sherry, are you trying to kill
your own husband?”
Sherry angrily said, “Did you do it on purpose?”
He smiled. “What do you mean ‘on purpose‘?”
“Did you purposely miss all the guesses?!”
“Yes, I did,” he said with curled lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSherry choked on his answer. She closed her eyes to clear her mind of the cluttered thoughts, and when she
opened her eyes, she asked, “What do you mean?”
“What do you mean by ‘what do I mean“?” the man asked.
Sherry went straight to the point and said, “Aren’t you supposed to be fed up with me? Then, what the hell was that
for?”
“Yeah. I was fed up with you a while ago, but now…”
He dangerously approached her.
Sherry instinctively retreated to the wall, but unfortunately, she had nowhere to
escape.
John stood right in front of her while holding one of her wrists. He lifted her chin with his other hand and said, “Now,
I somehow got interested in you again.”
Sherry froze. Her heart pounded wildly as if it was stung by a thorn. She frowned at the man and said, “We agreed
that our marriage is only for Caprice’s sake! Don’t you
cross the line!”
Her eyes were slightly bloodshot, which was a sign of her anxiety. She seemed to be afraid of something.
Could he have reminded her of the days when he had imprisoned her?
The man’s eyes flickered, replacing his dangerous and enchanting smile with a warm and serious expression. “If
you perform well, I can look past what you did to me, and I won’t lock you up anymore.”
Sherry’s eyes flickered, but her expression swiftly turned cold. “You have no right to lock me up in the first place.”
“Mm–hmm. I won’t do it again.”
Sherry was stunned by his gentle reaction. The man surprisingly did not argue with her and even promised to not
do it again instead.
Before she could recover her composure, John released her chin. He grabbed the dice from her and put them back
on the table. He then gently knocked her head and said, “Come on, it’s time to go see Caprice.”
Sherry blankly hummed a reply and went out with him.
There was an observatory further away from the game room where one could enjoy the view. The observatory had

Odell and Sylvia were standing outside the glass room with Isabel and Flint in front of them. Both kids lowered their
heads as if they were apologizing.
Queenie watched helplessly from the side.
When Sherry spotted them, she also spotted the other two figures inside the glass room–Caprice and Liam.
Given the distance, she was unable to have a clear look at what they were doing. She could only see them sitting
together.
Sherry strode over while John followed closely.
There were several entrances to the observatory, and they did not take the entrance where Odell and Sylvia were.
In fact, they went up from the other direction.
As soon as they entered the warm glass room, they saw little chubby Caprice lying down on Liam’s lap. Liam
concentrated on playing with his toy.
The girl was obviously leaning on him on her own accord, and her eyes were looking upwards, either staring at the
toy in the boy’s hand or at the boy himself.
Sherry pursed her lips. She was at a loss for action. She turned to John and saw him looking at her as well with a
frosty expression.
Neither of them expected such a scene.
