Chapter 1038
The light in Sherry‘s eyes dimmed. Was John trying to chase her out?
This seemed to strike a nerve inside Madam Stockton as she expressed her pent-
up frustration, “You might not, but I want grandchildren already! All my closest friends already have grandchildren, and I‘m the only one left that doesn‘t have a shot
at getting to hold my grandchildren anytime soon!”
John frowned with a rigid expression on his face.
Madam Stockton seemed to recognize this and immediately suppressed her anger and asked with a long sigh, “John, weren‘t you fond of Master Carter‘s children as well? He‘s a
three children already. When are you going to get married? Your brother is gone… Are you going to let me go to my grave without getting a chance to see my heir?”
Her eyes reddened with emotion as she said this.
Julie took her by her arm. “Mom, don‘t be angry. John is just busy with his career and has no time to get married for now. But that doesn‘t mean that he‘ll never get married.”
Madam Stockton suddenly became infuriated and snapped at Sherry unprovoked. “Why does he keep this woman around at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthome all day if you say he‘s so busy with his career?”
John zipped his lips and stayed quiet. Noting John‘s silence, Queenie suddenly chimed in and shouted
at Sherry, “What are you looking at? Pack your things and get out of here. We don‘t welcome you here!”
Sherry smiled swiftly. “Sure, I‘ll get out of here.”
Queenie was stunned. She was not expecting Sherry to respond this way.
Madam Stockton and Julie stared at Sherry, completely dumbfounded
Sherry began walking down the road. It seemed like she did not even plan to pack her things.
“Sherry,” John called out to her.
Sherry stopped for a brief moment, then she continued trotting away, pretending to not have heard anything.
John jerked with displeasure and suddenly threatened her with a hostile look. “If you take one more step, I‘ll break your legs.”
This made Sherry stop.
She turned to Queenie and expressed sarcastically , “See? It‘s not that I don‘t want to leave. Your brother misses me too much.”
Queenie was vexed by this. “…You!”
She was boiling with rage.
John turned back to Madam Stockton and said, “Mom, I‘ll make plans to get married and will let you know once I‘ve found a suitable candidate. Why don‘t you go get some rest
After that, he shot a look at Julie who was standing next to the
madam.
Julie took the hint and went to Madam Stockton. “Mom, John has already given you his word so there‘s nothing to worry about. Why don‘t I take you home to rest?”
Madam Stockton looked at John sternly. “Are you serious about that? You‘re going to start making arrangements?”
She would not have been this pushy in the past, but something about hugging the adorable boy Flint in her arms had agitated her long–built–up desire to have grandchildren!
Besides, she could no longer tolerate the way Sherry kept John pinned down!
John smiled. “Yes, it‘s a promise!”
Upon receiving John‘s word, Madam Stockton seemed greatly comforted and assured as well. “Alright, I‘ll be waiting for your good news then.”
She glared at Sherry one last time before letting Julie lead her back home.
Queenie scoffed at Sherry before following after them.

John wiped away the smile on his face and looked at Sherry.
Sherry met his gaze and remarked wryly, “Master Stockton, I have a lot of friends who are single. Do you want me to recommend a few to you?”
John made a look. “It‘s three now. You still have five hours to finish up the ten pieces of embroidery you owe.”
Sherry‘s face became twisted with anger. “You b*stard John, you‘ll get what you deserve soon enough!”
With that, she bolted into the house without another word.
“Heh.” John stood in place and chuckled with delight as he stared at Sherry frantically running into the house.
Two hours later, the car entered Westchester City.
Sylvia was holding the sleeping Flint in her arms while she gazed out the window.
It was already evening. The canvas in the sky was seared with a gradient of orange and red. It looked peaceful and tranquil outside.
Sylvia felt an indescribable sense of zen inside her as she stared at the captivating view outside.
