Later that night, Sherry collapsed on her bed after cleaning up and texted Peter.
“Assistant Johnson, are you asleep?”
Peter texted her back after a moment. “What’s the matter, Ms. Fowler?”
Sherry sent him a smiley face emoji. “Nothing in particular. Do you have time tomorrow?”
Peter texted back after a minute. “Why do you ask?”
She avoided the question and replied with another question. “Are you going out tomorrow? Or are you going back to the office?”
A minute later, Peter’s reply came. “I am going out on a business trip tomorrow.”
Sherry’s eyes gleamed. “Where to?”
“A site inspection on a project in the suburbs.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs John’s assistant, Peter usually stayed by John’s, side. Therefore, if Peter were to go on a business trip, John would probably be
with him.
If John went, Caprice would be there too.
Sherry asked, “The suburbs are huge. Which area are you going to?”
On the other hand, Peter sent a screenshot of every conversation he had with Sherry to John.
At the Stocktons‘ residence, Caprice sat in her baby chair obediently and ate the food Aunt Wanda delivered to her
mouth. Her crystal clear eyes were glued to her father.
John was on his phone beside her. He was looking at the screenshots Peter sent him.
‘Hmph. Look at the words she uses with Peter. I bet she’s been fooling around with men in the past two years,‘ John
thought.
His lips curled subtly as he replied, “Tell her the address.”
“Yes, sir,” Peter answered.
A few seconds later, Peter sent him another screenshot. The screenshot showed Sherry’s reply after Peter
texted her the address.
“Why is it so far away? I heard it’s going to snow tomorrow. Assistant Johnson, remember to bring extra clothes and
keep yourself warm.”
John’s expression turned cold.
Ding!
Peter texted him, “Sir, how should I reply?”
John curled his lips into an ominous smile. “Reply however you want.”
A few seconds of silence later, Peter reluctantly replied, Yes, sir.”
Then, Peter sent him another screenshot that contained his reply to Sherry.
“Thank you, Ms. Fowler. I have something else to do. If there’s nothing urgent, please excuse me.”
Sherry texted back, “It’s okay. Go do your thing. Heart emoji.”

John’s gaze turned cold. Not even his golden–framed glasses could conceal his grim gaze. The air at the dining table
suddenly turned quiet.
It was until Caprice’s adorable voice sounded that the silence broke.
“Daddy…”
John recovered his composure and put his grim expression away. He turned to her with a soft gaze.
Caprice said, “Daddy, I’m done.”
John smiled and patted the girl’s head. “Good girl.”
She pouted. She put both her hands out, signaling him for a hug.
John carried her into his arms.
The girl then reached out to the spoon of soup and fed him. She said, “Daddy, aaaah… Caprice feeds you.
John’s eyes flickered before he opened his mouth in delight.
The girl fed him a spoonful of soup.
She wanted to feed him another spoon, but John held her hand. “Thank you, Caprice. I can eat by myself.”
Caprice pouted. “Daddy is not happy. You are not eating. The soup is cold.”
John looked slightly surprised.
