Chapter 1017
“Oh...” Sherry had not expected the water to be that cold. Luckily, it was not to the extent that she could not handle
it.
After sucking in a few breaths, she became more used to the cold. She then bent over and started to try and catch
a fish.
Surprisingly, the carp were quite agile despite being so fat.
A school of carp swam away the moment she stepped into the water.
Sherry did not manage to catch one carp even after bending over for a long time.
Nevertheless, Flint became more and more excited. He kept laughing.
Sherry felt embarrassed and crossed her arms across her front. She asked, “Flint, are you laughing at me?”
Flint grinned. “Aunty...”
He called her so sweetly.
It was so sweet that Sherry could ignore the annoying John, who was staring at her strangely.
“Just wait and see. Aunty will definitely catch a fish for you today!” As she spoke, she turned and walked forward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSherry slowed her movements to prevent alarming the fish. She slowly bent down and inserted her hands into the
creek. After that, she maintained her position.
Soon, a few carp swam over.
When she saw a carp swimming between her hands, her gaze focused on it and she put her palms together.
Splash!
Although the carp was slippery, Sherry still caught it.
She quickly stood up and raised the carp in her hand. She called out to Flint, who was watching her with wide eyes.
“Flint, Aunty caught one!”
Flinty beamed from ear to ear as he waved his hands happily.” Aunty, Aunty...”
Sherry went to him.
However, just as she was about to reach Flint‘s side, the sole of her foot stepped on a smooth stone. She slipped
and exclaimed as she fell sideways.
Just as she was about to fall into the water, a strong arm suddenly moved toward her and wrapped around her
waist.
In the blink of an eye, she was picked up.
Flustered, Sherry raised her head and her eyes met a cold, disdainful gaze.
The person who was carrying her was John.
She was startled but before she could snap back to her senses, she found herself already being carried to shore.
Immediately after, John dropped his hands.
Bang!
Sherry fell on the grass like a sack of potatoes.
Luckily, the ground was not hard and she was not in pain from the fall.
However, she rolled on the ground twice before she finally came to a halt.
The grateful emotions that she had felt from being saved by John vanished in an instant. She got up and said
furiously, “Are you still a man? Don‘t you know how to treat a woman gently?”
John returned to sit by the creek with his back to Sherry. Flint was attempting to crawl into the creek to catch a fish,
so John used one hand to pull him back while he used his other hand to take his wet shoes and socks off. It seemed
like he did not have any intention of replying to her.
Sherry was frustrated for a moment before she suddenly thought of something. Her hands crept up behind him,
and she quickly snatched Flint over from his arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohn turned his head and stared at her coldly.
Sherry immediately took two steps back while carrying Flint.
She had just raised her chin at John and was acting smug when the baby in her arms suddenly broke out in tears.
Sherry hastily looked toward the baby.
Flint pouted. His face was flushed red, and he was crying pitifully.
He had clearly been smiling a second ago. Why was he crying now?
Sherry was flustered. “Flint, what‘s wrong?”
“Wahhhhh...”
Flinty cried even harder.
At that moment, her arms became empty. Flint was taken away by John, who had walked over.
He carried Flinty carefully and examined him from head to toe. After that, he gave Sherry a cold–eyed stare. “Did
you touch him anywhere when you grabbed him just now?”
Sherry replied hastily, “I only held him by his armpits. I didn‘t touch anywhere else.”
