Chapter 1576
Sherry was taken aback by this as she shifted the phone to her ears.
John kicked off the conversation. “So, you’re not doing anything at all right now?”
His voice was gentle and soothing.
Sherry felt like a weight was lifted off her as her somber mood was at least slightly alleviated.
She answered, “I’m just hanging out in the room.”
“How long has Caprice been with my mom?” he asked.
She thought for a second and stated, “About half an hour.”
“Did you eat dinner by yourself?”
“Yeah.”
There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, then he spoke again, “Is there anything you want to ask
me?”
What should she ask?
She thought for a moment and asked, “Well, what are you doing?”
“I just got back to the hotel.”

“I had dinner outside before the driver sent me back here.” After a pause, he added, ” The weather here is pretty
nice, I can take you and Caprice here in the future when I
have time.”
Sherry smirked. “Could it possibly be better than Glanchester over there?”
“Definitely not as remarkable as Glanchester, but it still has its unique flavor which is nice. I’d say it’s worth
checking out at least.”
That seemed like a good enough conversation point. They continued chatting about all kinds of casual matters from
there on and an hour passed without notice.
Sherry only realized that an hour had passed when Queenie returned with Caprice.
She wrapped up the call with John. “Caprice is back, goodbye for now.”
“Alright, get a good night’s sleep with Caprice.”
“I got it.”
She hung up.
Queenie came into the room with Caprice. The child was still very energetic and
cried out the moment she entered, “Mommy!”
She put her arms out and demanded a hug.
Sherry obliged and took her into her arms.
Queenie thanked Sherry, “Hey, thanks for tonight.”
Sherry was perplexed by this. “What are you thanking me for?”
“For letting me borrow Caprice. My mom was so happy when she saw Caprice and ate an entire day’s portion of
food in one sitting.”
Sherry was relieved to hear this. “Don’t worry about it, you should be thanking Caprice.”
“Yes, definitely!” Queenie agreed and quickly turned to Caprice, smiling brightly.” Caprice, thank you for spending
time with your grandma and getting her to eat dinner.”
Caprice smiled from ear to ear and was glad to have contributed. “You’re welcome!”
Queenie smiled and gently brushed Caprice’s hair, then she had a quick chat with Sherry before leaving.
Sherry took Caprice to the shower.
After she got Caprice all cleaned up, she took her to the bed and helped her settle in for the night. She then picked
up a book and began telling bedtime stories.
The child was very easy to take care of. She lay still on the bed and listened to the bedtime story. Soon, she was
asleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry kissed Caprice on the cheeks, then she pulled her into a warm embrace before closing her eyes.
The night was tranquil, the room was the perfect temperature.
Caprice’s breathing had a soothing quality that helped Sherry calm down. Although her mind would still replay what
Julie had told her now and then, it was ultimately Caprice’s rhythmical breathing that acted as a lullaby and sent her
into a deep sleep.

The next morning.
After breakfast, Sherry and Caprice walked out of the courtyard in a pair of matching
outfits.
She was going to take Caprice somewhere to play.
When they passed by Queenie’s room, she called out for Queenie. She emerged in no
time.
After that, the trio went to a community playground where they spent the better half of the day playing and
mingling with other children. After that, they went shopping until late evening before finally returning home.
The child was exhausted from the day’s activities and fell asleep in the car on the way home.
After the car stopped outside the courtyard, Sherry carried Caprice out of the car. As she headed back to their
room, she noticed Madam Stockton waiting for her in the living room.
