Chapter 1717
Caprice was feeling much better by now except her eyes were still swollen from crying just now. She spoke out, “Mommy, | want to go with you.”
It was impossible to refuse her when she pleaded so sincerely.
Sherry smiled and gave in. “Okay.”
Besides, Lisa and Carl were not dangerous.
With that, she got out of the car and went to the other side to get Caprice, taking her into her arms.
Caprice made sure to turn to her father who was waiting inside the car, “Bye-bye, Daddy.”
John leaned lazily against the seat of the car and smiled. “See you.”
Then, he cast a gentle gaze toward Sherry. “Go on, I'll wait for you here.”
Sherry merely shot a look at him, then he ignored him. She promptly took Caprice into Lisa’s house with her
As soon as they stepped past the entrance, Carl came rushing out toward them from the living. room. He went toward Sherry and looked at her from head to toe to ensure she was fine. Only then did he manage to calm himself. Then, he turned to Caprice and greeted her warmly, “Caprice, do you remember me?”
Caprice bobbed her head up and down and greeted him cheerfully, “You're Uncle Carl.”
Carl smiled and turned to Sherry. “Sherry, don’t just stand here. Come on, let’s go inside.”
Sherry entered the living room with Caprice.
Lisa rose from the couch. She seemed startled to see Caprice here as well.
Caprice stared intently at Lisa.
Sherry turned to Caprice. “Caprice, this is Aunt Lisa. Say hello to her.”
Caprice did as she was told. “Hello, Aunt Lisa,” she greeted Lisa in an endearing and polite voice. Lisa smiled lovingly. “Oh, hello there, what is your name?”
Caprice answered, “My name is Caprice.”
“How do you spell that, darling?”
Caprice tilted her head to her side and seemed visibly confused.
Sherry answered for her, “C-a-p-r-i-c-e.”
Lisa considered for a moment before asking, “Who named her?”
Sherry answered proudly, “I did.”
She came up with the name as soon as she realized she was pregnant as she thought it was a wonderful name for a cheerful and sweet child.
Lisa remarked kindly, “I see, it’s a wonderful name for her.”
Sherry smiled. She began apologizing for the disastrous engagement ceremony, “Aunt Lisa, | am very sorry for what happened today.”
“It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing?” Lisa forgave her immediately. “Oh, your daughter is such a cutie. Mayl hug her?” Sherry turned to Caprice, but Caprice had already stretched her arms out without needing to be told to do so.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Lisa was enamored by her cheerful and adorable attitude and immediately took Caprice into her arms and went to the couch. Sherry sat next to them while Carl sat on another chair nearby.
Lisa was quickly obsessed with Caprice, especially when she observed how Caprice settled onto her lap without a single note of complaint. She took her time getting to know her before turning to Sherry “Sherry, even if your engagement with Carl doesn’t work out, I’m still not going to let Ron take Sager Corporation away. Worst-case scenario, Carl will have to wait several years longer before he takes over, so don’t blame yourself for what happened.”
Sherry grimaced. “Okay.”
The reason everything turned out so disastrously was that Aiden and Caden managed to get in touch with John to devise their underhanded scheme. However, Sherry felt like she was to be blamed as well, but there was no use lamenting about it anymore. Right now, they should focus on what was to come next.
