Chapter 1542
Sherry seemed mildly shocked to hear this. She answered blankly, “You better.”
John smirked. “As long as you stop tempting me.”
Sherry felt a lump in her throat. She cast one last glare at him before stomping.out.
Tempt him? She had better things to do than that.
Inside the living room.
Caprice was snacking with Queenie and Aunt Wanda.
The moment Sherry showed up, Caprice brightened with joy and cried out, “Mommy!”
Sherry smiled and quickly went to take Caprice into her arms.
John arrived in the living room as well.
He had straightened up his clothes and restored his usual grace, his beastly appearance just now seemed like
nothing but a mirage.

Queenie sat next to her.
John took his seat directly opposite.
After they had dinner, Queenie and Sherry played with Caprice for a while longer before calling it for the night.
As usual, Sherry helped Caprice get washed up before washing up herself. After a quick shower, she stepped back
into the room and joined Caprice in bed.
Even when midnight rolled around, John was nowhere to be seen.
Was he not coming tonight?
Sherry was relieved by this. She promptly turned off the light and cuddled Caprice, ready to settle into a good
night’s sleep.
Just as she was about to doze off, she heard footsteps approaching.
She pricked up her ears, fully alert by this point.
The footsteps stopped at the other edge of the bed.
What followed after was a round of faint rustling.
It sounded like he had lied down on the other end of the bed.
Sherry heaved a silent sigh of relief. It should be safe to fall asleep now.
That was when she felt a hand grazing her cheeks.
Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest, she winced at the touch.
The few warm fingertips caressed back and forth against her cheeks.
Sherry did not dare to move.
Moments before she decided she had enough and was going to launch out of bed to give John a good scolding, he
withdrew his hand.
He sighed. The sound of his sigh echoed around the quiet room.
It sounded like he was very troubled about something.
Sherry was baffled by this. What was he sighing about anyway? Was the texture of her skin not smooth and delicate
enough for his taste?

The next morning, Sherry had to head back to the office. Caprice was going to stick with John today.
John’s driver dropped Sherry off at her building as usual. Before stepping out of the car, she kissed Caprice
goodbye before reluctantly bidding farewell.
The next few days would more or less follow the same pattern as her schedule was rather hectic.
Until a certain morning. As usual, Sherry stepped out of the courtyard with John who had Caprice in her arms. They
were going to their respective offices.
As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, they bumped into Madam Stockton.
She looked at Caprice, then turned to John. “John, are you taking Caprice to the office again today?”
John grunted. “Yeah.”
Madam Stockton tried her luck. “Both of you are very busy with work. Why don’t you leave Caprice at home so we
can take care of her?”
John hesitated for a moment and looked at Sherry. Sherry lowered her eyes and pretended to not notice.
She would much rather not get involved in the affairs of the pair of mother and son.
