Chapter 1427
He had planted a tracking device on Caprice. An application on his phone was used to pinpoint the exact location
of where she was.
The application led him here.
What was the little brat doing here in the first place?
He wondered as he sped up his pace, his concern for Caprice’s safety was slowly mounting.
Immediately after that, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind the bar counter. It sounded like the voice of
a woman holding herself back from bursting into tears. “… Caprice, mommy had no choice but to leave you, I
promise you I didn’t intentionally abandon you…”
He immediately halted.
What followed after that was Caprice’s voice. “I understand.”
Smooch!
Sherry planted yet another kiss on Caprice’s cheek. “My darling, you’re so sweet.”
John grimaced.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was when Caprice asked, “Are you going to leave again?”
John winced.
Sherry answered, “Mommy won’t leave you. Even if I’m leaving, I’ll take you with me.”
Caprice asked, “What about Daddy?”
Sherry reflected the same question. “What about Daddy?”
Caprice asked innocently, “Aren’t you taking Daddy with us?”
John found himself holding his breath as he waited for the answer.
Sherry seemed to have difficulty answering this. She coughed dryly before stating, “Caprice, I know that he’s your
daddy but unfortunately I no longer have anything to do with him. I’m afraid we can’t get him to come with us.”
Behind the bar counter.
Upon hearing this, Caprice frowned tightly and decided. ” Then you can go by yourself, I want to be with Daddy.”
Sherry was struck speechless.
“Heh.” A chuckle came out of nowhere.
Sherry turned pale and immediately turned toward the direction of the voice.
Caprice turned around as well.
In came the figure of a tall man dragging a long shadow behind him.
“Daddy!” Caprice’s eyes brightened as she pried herself out of Sherry’s arms and ran toward John.
John picked her up effortlessly and carried her into his arms, then he looked at Sherry.
There was a heavy gloom swirling in his eyes.
Sherry rose and took a step back.
“Heh…” She scoffed dryly. “Master Stockton, what a coincidence.”
John scowled. “Sherry, I suppose I have been far too
liberal with you. How dare you have the guts to show up here?”
Sherry smiled and said, “I’m here to see our darling daughter, of course.”
Our?
John seemed offended by this remark. “Our? Who is this‘ our‘?”
“You and me, of course. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have a daughter as adorable as Caprice, am I right?”
John chuckled softly. “That’s right.”
Sherry wore a feigned smile the entire time.
“But I’m sure you heard Caprice just now, she says she doesn’t want to go with you,” he said as he glared sharply

Sherry stiffened and darted a glance at Caprice.
Caprice was looking back and forth between her and John, her eyes agape.
It was easy to see that she felt more affection for John.
Sherry took a deep breath and said, “I heard her, and I respect her choice as well.”
She could not just take her by force. She had not even considered that as a worthwhile option.
Right now, she figured that the best course of action was to take time to build a closer bond with Caprice. Once she
developed a certain degree of trust with her, she could take her away.
John glared at her, observing her strained and wholly unconvincing smile, then he asked, “So what’s next?”
Sherry seemed to be at a loss. “What’s next?”
John’s eyes gleamed with ice, then continued with a condescending smile. “What’s your plan? Are you going to
squat here forever?”
A part of him thought that perhaps Sherry could take this chance to admit her faults and apologize to him. That just
might soften him enough to want to allow her to see Caprice in the future.
