Chapter 1710 She was probably mad at him for ruining her engagement with Carl.
John’s eyes looked disheartened but only for a moment. He curled his lips, and even his golden- framed glasses could not hide the delight in his eyes.
Sherry might be mad at him, but she could no longer be with Carl.
He headed to the door, leaned against the wall, and waited silently.
Inside the house, after Sherry shut the door, Caprice pouted. “Mommy, Daddy hasn’t come in.” Sherry said, “He doesn’t want to come in.”
Caprice was small, but she was not an idiot. She protruded her lips and said, “You didn’t let him in.” Sherry pursed her lips, trying to come up with an excuse to fool the little girl.
The girl hugged her mother’s neck and buried her face in it, nuzzling as she said, “Mommy, Daddy isn’t doing this on purpose. Please let him in, please.”
The girl’s soft cheeks tickled Sherry’s neck. Her adorable voice softened her heart and eased her anger. She sighed helplessly and said, “Fine. I'll open the door.”
Caprice immediately kissed her on the cheek.
Sherry smiled. She opened the door, and the man walked in straightaway.
Sherry took a few steps back and glared at him coldly before she headed to the couch with Caprice. Caprice winked at her father, and he smiled at her.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
John then walked to the couch and sat at the furthest spot from Sherry.
Since the girl loved to watch cartoons, Sherry pulled her phone out and wanted to search for a suitable cartoon for the girl to watch.
However, as soon as she turned on her phone, she saw a dozen missed calls and texts. Her phone had buzzed multiple times on the way back, probably because of the engagement party.
A few moments of silence later, she glared at John who looked baffled.
Sherry glanced at the tablet by his side, signaling him to bring it over.
John smiled. He picked up the tablet and gave it to her. She grabbed it, and he returned to his
seat.
Sherry played a cartoon for Caprice to entertain her.
Before Sherry passed the girl the entire tablet, the girl had already leaned back against her, and her eyes were fixated on the screen.
Sherry went on her phone.
There were several missed calls from Carl and Lisa, plus her assistant. She checked all the texts she received.
Carl had texted her a few times, basically trying to find out where she went or what John had done
to her.
Sherry replied, “Carl, | just got home. Don’t worry. He just wanted to ruin our engagement. He didn’t do anything to me.” Carl replied almost instantly, “I'll go find you now!”
“It's okay. Stay with Lisa. I’ve already had lunch. I'll go find you guys when Caprice is asleep.”
“Are you really safe now? Did he do anything to you?”
Sherry suddenly thought of when Carl had saved her from the burning house.
