Chapter 1744
When they arrived at Sherry’s apartment, Caprice was already dead asleep.
After Sherry got out of the car, she carried Caprice into her arms and threw a gaze at John.
“You can go now.”
John stood by the car and leaned against it lazily. The moonlight’s reflection shone from his glasses as he smiled
bewitchingly. “Goodnight.”
Sherry ignored him. She carried Caprice into the apartment without looking back.
The night was quiet.
After Sherry entered her apartment and turned on the living room lights, the man’s slender figure remained by the
car with no intention of leaving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he pulled his attention away from the window and looked to his left. There was a garden on the left of the
apartment, and there was a fake mountain decoration by the side.
In the shadow cast by the fake mountain was a slender figure.
Carl was aware that John noticed him, so he came out from the shadows.
“Young Master Carl, what are you doing here?” John asked with a smile.
Carl’s eyes flickered. He said, “I live around here. I’m on a stroll after dinner.”
“Oh, I see. So, you have a habit of strolling after dinner.”
The garden was not a park where everyone could have a stroll. It was just a small garden for flowers, and no
trespassing was allowed.
Carl pursed his lips. He smiled and said, “Master Stockton. I heard Sherry telling you to go back. Why are you still
here?”
John smiled. “You’re still here. How could I, her husband, leave?”
Carl’s lips twitched helplessly. “You imprisoned her, tortured her, and she almost died in the fire because of you. If I
were you, I wouldn’t have the guts or the face to claim that I’m her husband.” John looked disheartened.
Carl scoffed. “You can go back now. From today onwards, I will protect Sherry from danger, and that includes you.”
He had already hired bodyguards and stationed them around Sherry’s apartment, so he planned to stay guard for a
while starting today. He did not want Ron and his goons to harm Sherry anymore. John went silent for a moment.
He then asked, “Did you save her from the fire?”
Carl did not expect the question. Surprised, he asked, “That’s right. I dug a hole and brought Sherry out.”
“Thank you,” John said.
Carl was stunned.
John looked extremely sincere. “Thank you for saving her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarl flickered his eyes nervously and gulped. “Don’t need to thank me. I saved her because I want to save her from
you.”
John did not reply.
Carl raised a brow. He added, “Go back. I’ll protect Sherry from now on. Stop disturbing her anymore.”
John curled his lips. “She’s still legally my wife.”
Carl’s expression changed. “So what?”
John smiled. “She will never divorce me, and you cannot be with her.”
Carl looked disheartened. “Master Stockton, I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you.”
John simply laughed it off. He did not reply to Carl’s words. Instead, he switched topics and said, ” There’s only one
way to stop Ron Wright from hurting her again.”
Carl was surprised. “How?”
“Defeat him, and throw him out of the company and the Sagers.”
Carl frowned. He also knew it was the best way, but he and his mother had been trying for years with little results.
