Chapter 1537
They bumped into Queenie on the way out.
Upon being told that they were going shopping, Queenie immediately volunteered to join them.
Since it would be rude to not take her along, Sherry obliged.
They arrived at a famous shopping district in Glanchester. Sherry brought her card with her and braced herself for
a wild shopping spree with Caprice.
They bought clothes, jewelry, and all sorts of toys that Caprice liked.
Queenie was a shopaholic herself as well.
They were not done with shopping even when it was past noon, but the car was already loaded to the brim with
their hauls for the day.
Finally, they decided they had enough and went home.
On the way home, Caprice sat between Sherry and Queenie and was jovially fiddling with a new doll that Sherry had
bought for her while munching on a pack of snacks. She seemed like the most satisfied out of the trio.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven when the car stopped at their residence, she was still nibbling on the same pack of snacks.
The car was parked outside Sherry and John’s courtyard.
Sherry had just gotten out of the car with Caprice in her arms when she saw Madam Stockton walking towards her.
She was staring at Caprice.
Caprice was so focused on her snacks that she hardly noticed her grandmother approaching.
Sherry prompted her, “Caprice, your grandma is here to see you. Say ‘hello, Grandma.’
Caprice turned to Madam Stockton and greeted her, “Grandma!”
Madam Stockton smiled warmly at her. “Hey!” After that, she directed her attention toward Sherry.
Sherry seemed to have caught sight of something. She quickly put Caprice down and gently nudged her forward.
“Caprice, go play with your new toys with your grandma and aunt. Mommy has some work to do and will join you
once I’m done, alright?”
Caprice was very well–mannered and nodded.
Madam Stockton’s eyes lit up. Could this mean that she could spend time with Caprice? She quickly took Caprice
into her arms. “Little Caprice, come on, show Grandma your new toy!”
Queenie got out of the car and joined them. She heard what Sherry told Caprice and smiled warmly at Sherry, then
she took out the haul of new toys they bought for the little girl from the car and joined Madam Stockton with
Caprice in the garden.
Sherry watched the trio stroll into the garden. She watched her daughter joyfully unpacking her fresh collection of
toys.
After making sure that Caprice was well attended to by Madam Stockton and Queenie, she walked into the
courtyard. She had some minor tasks to attend to.
She went back to her room and turned on the computer.
Caprice must have inherited a certain trait from one of her parents as she got bored with her toys very quickly.
The race car was abandoned to the side after she played with it for a while. She tried one toy after another, but
each one of them was tossed aside in quick succession.
Queenie was at a loss by this point. She tried to salvage the situation by bringing Caprice’s favorite excavator toy.
The child immediately lit up. She drove the excavator around the well–maintained lawn and began to shovel up
batches of dirt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, Queenie only watched Caprice play and let her do as she willed. However, when she noticed the excavator
swerving in a certain direction, she immediately cried out, “Caprice, that’s my favorite hydrangea! Stop!”
Just when it seemed like Caprice was going to stop, Madam Stockton told Queenie off, “It’s just some flowers.
Shovel them back in and replant them. How hard can it be? Don’t get mad at the child!”
Queenie was perplexed and muttered, “I wasn’t mad at her…” All she did was warn Caprice!
Madam Stockton glared at her.
Queenie immediately zipped her lips. They turned their attention back to Caprice just in time to see her driving the
toy excavator into Madam Stockton’s favorite roses and plowing them out of the ground, roots and all.
Queenie immediately took a deep breath and glanced at Madam Stockton.
Madam Stockton was cheering Caprice on like the perfect cheerleader, “Wow! There you go! Caprice!”
Queenie was speechless.
Meanwhile, Julie was standing on the patio a short distance behind them. She had been there for a while and was
observing Caprice play with a disdainful scorn on her face.
After observing them for a while, she took special care to fix a warm smile on her face before joining them in the
garden.
