Chapter 1722
Sherry shot a sideway glance at him. “What are you looking at? I’m just doing this because Caprice is hungry.”
She said as she brought bowls of soup to the dining table.
John chuckled heartily.
Meanwhile, Caprice had already begun eating without them. She held a pair of spoon and fork like trusty weapons
and her mouth was bulging with food.
Sherry made a look as she sat next to Caprice. She put a bowl of noodles in front of her and reminded her.
“Caprice, eat slowly. Here, have some noodles.”
Caprice did as she was told. She made sure to chew her food thoroughly before she moved on to the bowl of
noodles
After ensuring that Caprice had slowed down her pace, Sherry began eating as well.
The food was delicious. John could easily become a professional chef.
It was no surprise that Caprice snuck a piece of shrimp just now as she simply could not wait.
Even Sherry ate more than she would otherwise usually eat.

Sherry looked up and met a pair of gentle eyes staring back at her.
She suddenly felt a bulge of irritation inside her.
Before she could answer, Caprice cried out, “It’s delicious!”
John was still staring at Sherry. He was determined to get feedback out of her.
Sherry hesitated for a moment, then grumbled, “It’s okay.”
John smiled.
After dinner, Sherry took Caprice into the bedroom and helped her shower before putting her to
bed.
They played some games and she read some bedtime stories to Caprice until the child fell asleep.
Sherry pecked a gentle kiss on Caprice’s forehead before preparing to leave.
She wanted to check if John had left. She was going to take a shower and prepare for bed.
She approached the door.
Just as she was about to grab the door handle, she suddenly heard a muffled ringtone from the other end of the
door.
She withdrew her hand.
On the other side of the door.
John was leaning against the door the entire time. The second his phone rang, he promptly answered it and put the
phone to his ear, answering in a hushed and sharp voice, “What do you want?”
It was Jason on the phone. “Young Master Stockton, it’s Aiden and Caden. They’re here again and they’re at the
lobby of the hotel waiting for you.”
John hissed. “Tell the hotel staff to kick them out.”
Jason answered dutifully, “Alright, sir.”
John hung up.
He glanced at the door and observed the lights spilling out from the gap, then he left.
The bodyguard who had just finished cleaning the kitchen followed after him when he noticed John leaving.
Inside the bedroom, Sherry remained standing by the door. She only plucked the courage to open the door after
she heard the men leave.
Sure enough, John was gone.
She closed the door again, then she went to the bathroom for a quick shower.

something was troubling her and she could not fall asleep.
She had put her ears close to the door during the phone call and heard what Jason had told John on the phone.
She wagered that Aiden and Caden were the ones to approach John back then. They must have mistakenly
assumed that he was her ex-husband, which led to the ploy they formulated after that.
She was aware that John had intentionally sabotaged the engagement ceremony, but he had not done it to help
Aiden and Caden. If that was what he had intended, he would not have flaunted his identity as the great Master
Stockton hailing from Glanchester.
In one prudent move, he successfully got in the way of her engagement with Carl while also ensuring that Ron,
Aiden, and Caden could not get what they wanted. If anything, it further cemented her position in Sager
Corporation.
It would seem like Carl’s position was not threatened significantly as well.
She took a deep breath.
As much as she hated to admit it, John was extremely prudent and played the chess match better than any of
them!
