Chapter 1572
Sherry was alarmed by John’s presence. She took Caprice in her arms and shuffled forward while murmuring,
“Nothing, I was just apologizing to Caprice. I wasn’t saying anything else.”
John grinned, then he looked at Caprice who was wrapped tightly in Sherry’s arms, and spoke gently, “Sorry, it was
Daddy’s fault, I brought Mommy back to my room last night, that’s why we didn’t spend the night with you.”
Sherry was taken aback by his honesty.
Aunt Wanda took her leave to give them some privacy.
Caprice pouted grumpily, but she was no longer upset as she was though she was still feeling down.
Sherry felt guilty when she saw Caprice in this state and promised her, “Caprice, I’m very sorry. I’ll never leave you
alone again.”
Caprice made a look and remained silent.
This was the first time Sherry saw her daughter in such a depressed state so she
was at a loss for what to do.

Sherry had run out of ideas of how she could comfort Caprice, so she yielded Caprice to John without protest.
John took Caprice in one arm and gently patted Sherry’s head with the other. “I’ll bring her to the living room, you
can go wash up first.”
Sherry was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, her hair was a tangled mess.
She looked at Caprice who seemed to be feeling a little better in John’s arms. This brought great relief to her. She
nodded and left.
She headed back into the room.
Meanwhile, John took Caprice to the living room and sat on the couch.
The child continued wearing the same pout and refused to speak. She crossed her
arms over her chest and refused to be coaxed into speaking.
John smiled and pinched her cheeks. “Hello, Caprice?”
Caprice snapped grumpily. “What?”
“I want to apologize, it was my fault,” he said.
Caprice looked at him and decided that he was truly sincere. She thought about it and pardoned him graciously.
“Alright, I forgive you.”
John smiled and continued, “Caprice, you’re almost three years old. Do you know that Uncle Carter’s children
stopped sharing a room with their parents after they turned three years old?”
Caprice grunted and seemed to not understand what John was trying to imply.
John frowned.
He could not help but compare himself to Odell. He wondered why all three of Odell’s children seemed so mature
beyond their years while her three–year–old daughter still seemed to have some ways to go. She was not good at
communicating her thoughts and seemed to have some trouble catching on to what was being said at times.
Oh well, this was his daughter.
Besides, Sherry wanted to have a chance to bond with her, he figured it was better to continue the current
arrangement for the time being.
Sherry went back to her bedroom and took a quick shower.
After changing into a set of clean clothes, she went to the living room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe saw Caprice coddled in John’s arms, she was holding a piece of bread and nibbling it like a hamster.
She seemed very quiet and very well–behaved as she always was. It looked like she
was in a much better mood now.
When Caprice noticed Sherry entering, she immediately called out after her in an affectionate voice, “Mommy!”
Sherry quickly went to her and lifted her into her arms without a word.
“How’s the bread?” she asked.
Caprice nodded with approval.
“Can you give me a bite?” Sherry asked with a smile.
Caprice generously stuffed the entire piece of bread into Sherry’s mouth.
Sherry was not expecting this.
She let Caprice stuff the entire piece of bread into her mouth until her cheeks bulged like a hamster’s cheeks
would.
Caprice was humored by this and giggled.
Sherry smiled.
John did not move from the couch as he silently watched the pair and smiled at the pleasant sight of them having a
cute moment together.
