Chapter 1571
John kissed her again.
Sherry placed her palms against his body defensively, but she did not attempt to push him away.
It did not take long before she lost herself in the kiss they shared.
Even after when he let her go, she was still holding on to John’s wrist.
He chuckled.
Sherry was deeply embarrassed. She stammered shyly, “I… I couldn’t control myself, you’re..”
She drew the blankets over her face and wanted to burrow herself into a hole.
John smiled and hugged her. “Sherry, if you still need time to process your leftover trauma from what happened
three years ago, I’d be more than willing to give you time. But one thing I won’t do is let you go. I’ve had enough of
this marriage of ours which is nothing more than a formal arrangement.”
Sherry’s breathing was becoming erratic, but she did not utter a word.
A stiff silence loomed over the two of them.
John raised his palm and brushed Sherry’s hair with it. “Right, have you considered the offer I made you yesterday
about coming to Stockton Corporation?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSherry frowned faintly. “No.”
John asked, “Apart from the prestigious position you hold and the handsome salary you’re paid, do you receive any
other special treatment at Sager’s?”
What sort of question was this? What more special privileges would anyone need from a job apart from a
handsome salary? She answered, “Yeah, why do you ask?”
John proposed, “If you come to work with me, I will not only triple the salary Sager pays you, I will also let you own
shares in the company.”
Company shares? Sherry glowed at the prospect.
“So, what do you say?” There was a hint of seduction in his voice as he said this.
Shares were indeed more tempting than just a large paycheck, but at the moment, she did not plan to remain in
Glanchester long–term. Besides, she also signed a contract with the Sagers and had a verbal agreement with
Madam Sager that she
would take over the reins of the corporation along with Carl.
“I’ll think about it.” It was a difficult choice to make. She could not make any promises yet.
John smiled softly. “Okay.”
With one final pat on her head, he said, “Enough lazing around, Caprice should be up any moment. We should go
see her.”
He let go of her.
She poked her head out from underneath the blanket and saw that he had already put on his clothes.
He flashed a quick smile at her, then he went into the bathroom.
Sherry pried the blankets off her and reached for her clothes thrown on the edge of
the bed.
After getting dressed, she walked to the door barefoot and opened it.
She was immediately greeted by Caprice.
Her hair was braided neatly into a twin pigtail that poked out of the top of her head. She stood rather
authoritatively, her tiny fists perched on both sides of her waist as she pouted quite angrily at her mother.
Sherry was alarmed by this. She quickly bent down so she could meet Caprice at eye level and asked, “Caprice,
what’s the matter?”
Caprice would not speak to her and grunted, “Hmmph!”
It seemed like she was going to blow fumes out of her nose like what one would see
in a cartoon.
Though she was mostly harmless, Sherry felt like she had to be careful in her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmapproach.
Aunt Wanda was standing in the corridor behind Caprice as Sherry darted a glance at her
Aunt Wanda informed her, “Mrs. Sherry, Caprice is upset because neither you nor Master Stockton spend the night
with her.”
Sherry frowned a little when she heard this.
Aunt Wanda added, “She woke up half an hour ago and was very upset when she saw that she was all alone in her
room. This is the first place she came after she woke up.”
The child seemed very upset, it looked like the dam would give out any moment and tears would come pouring like
a biblical flood out of her eyes.
Sherry pulled Caprice into her warm embrace. She apologized and tried to comfort her, “I’m sorry, Caprice, it’s all
Mommy’s fault. Mommy shouldn’t have made you sleep alone.”
Caprice pouted. “And Daddy.”
Mommy and daddy have both abandoned her! They did not sleep with her!
Sherry agreed with everything Caprice said, “Yes, Daddy is a big meanie, he was the one who brought Mommy back
to his room, otherwise Mommy would’ve slept with you last night.”
That was when a large figure appeared from behind, casting a shadow over the two of them.
“Sherry, what are you talking about?” John grimaced, his tone was quite intimidating.
