Chapter 1550
Late into the night, Caprice got tired out from all that playing at Madam Stockton’s and had fallen asleep. It was
Queenie who took her back to Sherry’s.
Sherry promptly took the child into her arms.
After seeing Queenie off, she carried Caprice back into the bedroom.
With the help of Aunt Wanda, Caprice was cleaned up before Sherry put her into bed. She hugged Caprice tightly
and surrounded her with her warmth.
John stepped into the room around this point.
Sherry was just about to fall asleep when she was awakened by John knocking on the door.
She glared at him grumpily. “The door is unlocked, what are you knocking for?”
John stood by the threshold of the door and looked at Sherry with a snarky smile.” What, did you leave the door
unlocked just for me?”
Sherry seemed repulsed by this suggestion and said, “You think too highly of yourself, I just forgot to lock the door.”
John grinned and shot a look at her before turning around.

He was probably going to take a shower.
Sherry ignored him, then she put her arms around Caprice and closed her eyes again.
Except she was not tired anymore. John had interrupted her sleep and now she was wide awake again.
When she heard the sound of faint footsteps approaching, she opened her eyes again and stole a glance.
It was John. He was wearing a set of silver–gray silk pajamas. She could not help but notice that he had left the
buttons from his collar down to the middle of his chest unbuttoned. It seemed like it was intentional.
The collars were pulled to the side, revealing the texture of his skin underneath.
His eyes gleamed with charm, he was up to no good.
He was the devil himself.
Sherry could not resist staring and silently gulped.
As soon as John entered, he peered into her eyes, his vision completely unobstructed by the darkness. “Sherry, why
haven’t you slept yet? Were you waiting for me?”
He spoke in a low and mellow voice, a gentle tone.
Just a small sentence managed to evoke such feelings of endearment.
Sherry was slowly losing control of herself. She had to suppress her restlessness as she answered without directly
looking at John, “I fell asleep just now, but your footsteps woke me up again.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, really!”
“Heh.” John chuckled and got into bed.
As usual, he lay down on the other side of Caprice.
The room was basked in darkness.
Even after laying in the dark for a long time, Sherry still had a hard time falling asleep.
All she could think about was John’s chiseled and alluring figure.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
She carefully propped herself up from the bed so she could gain an angle over Caprice and gawk at John’s figure.
His tall build took up almost the entire length of the bed.
He slept on his back. Even his sleeping posture seemed vigilant.
The buttons along the top of his pajamas were still left unbuttoned, Sherry immediately saw the outline of his chest.
His build was extremely toned, with the perfect amount of sturdiness.

She stared for what seemed like forever, then she lightly coughed to see if it would wake the man.
He still lay motionlessly, the pace of his breathing completely uninterrupted.
He usually fell asleep quite quickly, so she wagered that he must be in a deep sleep by this point.
With this in mind, she sneakily stretched her hand out, passed it over the sleeping Caprice, and reached for John’s
chest.
Wow, it felt wonderful to the touch.
Based on what John usually wore, she would never expect him to have such a figure.
She was cautious of waking him up and quickly retracted her hands after several seconds.
Just when she was going to pull her hands away, a large arm suddenly seized her wrist without warning.
She was startled by this, and her eyes grew wide.
The man who was sleeping soundly only moments ago had sprung to movement, awakened from his slumber.
He quickly sat up from the bed and looked at her with a wolfish gleam in his eyes, he was smiling.
Sherry’s heart began to race, she tried to forcefully yank her hands back.
