Sherry curled her lips into a polite and welcoming smile. “ I’m looking for you.”
Peter instantly got cautious and nervous. “What is the matter?”
With her smile widened, Sherry said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m not asking you to commit a crime.”
Peter awkwardly chuckled. “Then, what do you want me to do?”
“I want to know about Caprice.”
“Uh… Ms. Caprice is always with Master Stockton. Why don’t you just ask him yourself?”
“You know he and I are having a fallout right now. He might not even want to see me.”
Peter pursed his lips. “I believe if you could just beg, or maybe meet him in the middle, he would want to see you.”
Beg? Meet him in the middle?
She had never begged him, but she had been trying to meet him in the middle for days now.

Peter was left speechless. What she did was not try to meet John in the middle.
While he was at a loss for words, Sherry’s eyes got teary.
Sherry took a deep breath and said in a sobbing tone, That bastard took my baby Caprice away before I could even
spend a month with her, My precious baby was just as big as a ball back then. She couldn’t even speak yet, and she
was taken away from me!
“It has been two years since she left me. Every night is a sleepless night. The moment I close my eyes, I see him
take my baby away from me, and how she cried her lungs out…
“Peter, you are a man. You have no idea how painful it is for a mother to lose her child. I…” Sherry choked on her
words and tears, and could not finish her sentence.
Peter was rendered speechless.
After being quiet for a while, Peter helplessly said, “Ms. Fowler, please calm down. I’ll tell you how Ms. Caprice has
been doing lately.”
Sherry continued to bury her face behind her hands, but her sobs grew softer.
Peter said, “Ms. Caprice is always with Master Stockton, even if he goes on a business trip. Please don’t worry. Even
though you have not been by her side for the past two years, Master Stockton has been taking good care of
her…”
While he was patiently telling her how Caprice has been
doing, Sherry’s sobs suddenly grew louder. Her face remained buried behind her hands as she said, “My Caprice,
my poor girl, my pitiful child…”
Peter was confused. He had not once used the word ‘poor‘ or ‘pitiful‘ while talking about Caprice.
He immediately explained, “Ms. Fowler, please calm down. Please don’t overthink it. Master Stockton really takes
good care of Ms. Caprice. He loves her. He doesn’t allow others to touch her. Not even Madam Stockton or Ms.
Queenie can carry her without his permission.”
Sherry continued, “My poor baby… She’s still so young and she has to travel up and down with her father to make a
living…”

It was off–duty hours, and many of the employees were leaving the building. When they passed by the pavement, they all glanced
at Peter and Sherry by the side of the road.
Many were curious about what happened, but most of them were just busybodies, looking for matters to poke their noses into.
Peter helplessly sighed and said, “Ms. Fowler, you’re not here to ask about Ms. Caprice, am I right? What do you want?”
Sherry continued to sob but grew softer gradually.
Peter said, “Why don’t we talk in the car?”
Sherry instantly stopped sobbing although her face remained covered behind her hands.
Peter opened the door for her, and she got into the car in a flash.
Peter sighed and got into the passenger seat.
The car then drove off into traffic.
Peter asked, “Ms. Fowler, please be honest with the intention of your visit.”
“Assistant Johnson, Peter, my man! Since we’ve known each other for so many years, can you at least give me your contact
number?”
