Chapter 1752
Sherry wore a quiet frown. She briskly opened the door and stepped inside the house with Caprice in her arms.
John followed her into the house with the food in hand.
He placed the container on the table and opened it, releasing the aroma of the food into the house.
He turned to Sherry and repeated the same thing. “Caprice ordered these for you, come on and eat.”
Caprice urged her to eat as well. “Mommy, it’s very tasty, come on and eat it!”
Sherry hesitated briefly, then she approached with Caprice still in her arms.
John noticed her apprehension and immediately stepped away from the dining table and retreated to the couch in
the living room.
Sherry sat down at the dining table with Caprice on her lap.
It was a gourmet meal with a vast variety of seafood, chicken, and pork ribs. Aside from that,
Caprice even ordered drinks and dessert that she knew her mother would like.
The food was mouth-watering.
Even though Caprice already ate, she still gulped when she looked at the food.
Sherry smiled when she noticed the hungry glow in Caprice’s eyes and gave her a piece of pork rib.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaprice immediately began gnawing at it.
Sherry grabbed the utensils and dug in as well.
Her mind was still replaying what she saw just now at Ron’s villa. Her appetite was ruined the moment she thought
of the exchange she witnessed.
Caprice was still nibbling the pork rib when she noticed that her mother stopped eating. She seemed concerned
and asked with a puzzled look, “Mommy, why aren’t you eating?”
This caught the attention of John who was sitting on the couch as well.
Sherry smiled softly and remarked, “Mommy is kind of full.”
Caprice did not have much to say as her attention was occupied by the piece of pork rib in her hand.
Sherry silently looked at Caprice sitting on her lap, nibbling away at the pork rib like a hamster, and smiled. She
always felt better whenever she was with Caprice.
Soon, Caprice finished eating.
Her hands and lips were stained with grease.
Sherry took her to the bathroom to help her clean up and ended up having Caprice take a shower.
After that, she tucked her into a set of pink pajamas.
She put Caprice to bed and read some short stories for her until the child fell asleep.
After that, she stepped out of the bedroom.
John was standing right outside.
Sherry stumbled into him the moment she opened the door.
Her expression was much more reserved and amiable compared to when she saw John when she stepped out of
the elevator just now. She informed him mechanically, “Caprice is asleep, you should head back.”
John looked at her with a gentle and longing look in his eyes. He did not utter a word but Sherry could tell he was
hesitant to leave.
She frowned.
Just as she was about to shoo him out of the house, he spoke, “I just want you to know that I’m nothing like Ron.”
Sherry was taken aback by this. She looked at him, feeling slightly offended. “You had someone spy on me?”
How else would he know about what happened this afternoon?
John stared into her eyes and spoke sincerely, “I’m not spying on you. My men are keeping an eye on you to keep
you safe.”
Sherry felt her voice caught in her throat. It took her some effort to spit out the words. “Get out, ! want to sleep.”
“Alright,” he said with a tired smile and bade farewell in a gentle voice, “Good night.”
With that, he turned and left.

Sherry frowned sullenly.
She went to take a long shower. She splashed water over her face several times to try to rinse out the sinking,
suffocating feeling to no avail.
She ended up heading back to bed and snuggled with Caprice.
It was very comfortable snuggling in bed with Caprice.
Just like that, Sherry’s irritable mood was soothed.
She thought about what John told her, that he was nothing like Ron.
It was true. Ron was an egoistic, arrogant scumbag who took pride in his cheating. John did not have such flaws.
However, he did his fair share of horrible things to her in the past.
She remembered what happened when Shannon conspired against her several years back. It ended with her being
locked in the house by John like a caged animal for many torturous months. There was another similar episode only
several months back with Julie, that ended with her nearly getting burned alive in the middle of nowhere.
Although it was not his intention to harm her, he was largely responsible for everything that happened! He was
responsible for her trauma!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, she clenched her teeth unknowingly.
The only way she managed to calm herself was by looking at her calm sleeping expression of Caprice. She kissed
Caprice several times to settle her restlessness.
