Chapter 1663
Sherry told him, “Just a simple white dress.”
“In what style?” Carl approached her and smiled in a way only someone in love could. ” Could you wear it again for
me to see?”
Any other time, Sherry would not entertain him at all and even ignore him, but since Lisal was right here with them,
she could not brush him off condescendingly. She hesitated for a moment and told him, “I have a meeting later. I’m
afraid I don’t have time to put on the dress for you to see now, let’s wait until next time.”
Carl frowned and let his frustration show.
Sherry did not think much of his response and headed toward the parking lot.
She was not lying as she had a meeting with a client in half an hour.
Carl hurriedly followed her.
Lisa followed behind them and watched the pair walk together. She smirked and murmured to herself, “What a little
brat.”
They got into the car together.
Meanwhile, inside another car parked out of sight in the corner of the parking lot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man in the backseat was paying close attention to the trio that had entered the parking lot and gone to their
car.
After Sherry got into the car, Carl invited himself into the car as well and sat right next to
her.
Lisa knew better than to crowd in the backseat with them and took the passenger seat
instead.
Shortly after, the car swerved out of the parking lot.
Nobody spoke inside John’s car.
Eventually, Jason informed in a low and careful voice, “Master Stockton, they’re leaving.”
John ordered with a tight frown, “Go back to the hotel.”
“Yes, sir.”
He promptly started the engine.
They drove a short distance and reached the hotel in no time.
John stepped out of the car and entered through the main entrance. He took the elevator
to the top floor where the presidential suite was located.
He flung the door open and walked in, already accustomed to the place. Immediately upon his entry, Caprice came
running out of the bedroom.
She looked like she had just woken up, judging by how she was not wearing socks.
Aunt Wanda trailed behind her and called out after her, “Caprice, you haven’t put on socks
yet!”
Caprice barely heard her at all. The only thing on her mind was her father.
Her short and chubby feet carried her like a waddling duck toward John.
John bent over and promptly took her into his arms.
Caprice found comfort in her father’s arms.
John propped her up on his shoulders and met her at eye level.
Caprice’s voice was like that of an angel’s, she immediately asked, “Daddy, where’s Mommy?”
John told her that they were visiting the city to find her mother, but it had been several days since, and yet, there
was no sign of her mother.
John struggled to form a reply but knew he had to come up with something anyway.” Mommy has been very busy
recently, so Daddy hasn’t managed to get in touch with her yet. Don’t worry, we’ll see Mommy when she has time
to meet us.”
“When will that be?” Caprice pouted. “I miss Mommy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt had been a while since the child had last seen her mother.
Liam, Isabel, and Flint got to see their mother every day. Why was it that she did not have the same luxury?
John grimaced. “Mommy will be free in two days, I promise you, you’ll see her soon enough, alright?”
Caprice was rather doubtful of that but nodded anyway.
She would be patient and wait for two more days to pass.
She rested her head against John’s and stopped pestering him with questions.
John took a deep breath, then he carried her into the bedroom.
Aunt Wanda handed him a pair of socks and shoes for Caprice, he patiently put them on for her.
After that was done, he gently patted her head and asked, “Caprice, do you want to go out and play?”
Caprice shook her head. “I don’t really want to go out.”
John was very patient. “What do you want to do then?”
Caprice knew what she wanted. “I want Mommy.”
John became silent.
Caprice sighed faintly and said, “I miss Liam too.”
John did not know what to say.
He reached for his phone.
Caprice immediately took the phone. She tapped through the contacts like she had done it
a thousand times and quickly found Liam’s contact so she could video call him.
