Chapter 1497

Author: Eggsoup
John looked at her full red lips and pursed his own. His throat bobbed.

Sherry sensed something wrong and frowned at him.

He curled his lips. "Don't look at me like that. I have no interest in you at all now."

After saying that, he let go of her chin and walked back into Caprice's room.

Sherry stared at him and then walked in as well.

John sat on the sofa, reading a book.

Sherry said to him, "Go back to your room and rest. I'll stay with Caprice tonight."

He read the book and ignored her.

Sherry held back her anger. It seemed he did not plan on leaving.

Her eyes flickered, and she walked out with quick steps.

John lifted his eyes to look at her figure and was suspicious.

Was she leaving?

...

Sherry went to the bathroom as soon as she entered the bedroom.

After quickly washing up, she put on her pajamas, blow-dried her hair, took her phone and a storybook, and went back to Caprice's bedroom.

John had not left and was still sitting gracefully on the sofa, reading. He did n

    After chatting with Sylvia a while more, Sherry put her phone down.John was still on the sofa reading.From Sherry's angle, she could only see the upper half of his face. His gold-rimmed glasses contrasted with his fair skin, and his eyes exuded an air of elegance and nobility. He was quite good-looking. Unfortunately, he was a bit annoying.Sherry stared at him secretly, then wrapped her arms around Caprice and closed her eyes. The little girl's body was soft and smelled of milk.Sherry fell asleep in no time.Unbeknownst to her, after she fell asleep, the man on the sofa put down his book and stood up. His straight figure went around the end of the bed and walked to her side.When he saw her sleeping appearance, he curled his lips up in a manner that was different from how he had faced her before. At that moment, there was a wicked and smug smile in his eyes.A short while later, he took off his glasses and bent down. His handsome face approached her eyes, and his lips kissed

    Aunt Wanda handed John Caprice and left.There were only Caprice and John left in the room, along with Sherry who was snoring away. He narrowed his eyes and went to the bed while carrying Caprice.Caprice's eyes lit up when she saw that her father was going to sleep with her, and she quickly climbed into the middle of the bed. She obviously wanted to sleep sandwiched in between her parents.John smiled and let her lay on Sherry's other side as she wished, then turned off the lights.Caprice's chubby hands spread out at her sides, and she closed her eyes happily.When she fell asleep, a large hand picked her up. Then, she was moved half a meter across the bed before she was placed back down again.The man who originally lay there was now lying beside Sherry.His deep eyes that reflected the dim light of the night were sly and cunning. A long arm quickly looped around her waist and held her in his embrace....Early morning, Sherry opened her eyes as the rays of sunshine shone i

    Sherry immediately went to Caprice's shoe cabinet.The little girl was wearing a cream dress and a pair of white stockings today. Sherry picked out a pair of small yellow boots for her.Taking the shoes, she went to the bed and squatted down to help put on the shoes.John glanced at her and carried Caprice to the bed.The little girl was very smart and raised her chubby feet to Sherry's eyes.Sherry unzipped the boots and put them on Caprice's feet.However, she did not know if it was because the boots were too thin, or if the way she was helping the girl wear them was wrong, but the little girl's chubby foot got stuck and could not slip into the boots.Sherry frowned. Just as she tried to shove the foot into the boot, her hand was smacked.A smack rang out, and it was quite painful.Sherry immediately looked up.John was frowning at her. "Are you trying to break Caprice's foot?"Sherry's eyes flickered. "These boots seem a little small."John gave her a side glance. "Move

    Sherry looked straight into his eyes. “Caprice is already two years old. You can’t just keep her with you all the time. You’re busy, and you won’t have the time to accompany her.” John looked at Caprice. “Caprice, do you want to go out with Mommy?” Sherry smiled at Caprice brightly and added, “Caprice, I’ll bring you to the amusement park later. There are fantasy rides, theme parks, handsome boys, and beautiful girls. It's going to be fun.”Maybe because of Sherry’s bright smile, or maybe because the mention of handsome boys and beautiful girls captivated her, Caprice’s eyes gleamed with interest. She hummed an eager reply. Sherry immediately carried the girl from John’s grip and even raised a brow to tease him. John smiled. He then looked at Aunt Wanda and said, “Aunt Wanda, you should go with them. And bring Jason along.” Aunt Wanda nodded with a smile. “I’ll go inform Jason right away.” John then looked at Sherry. “Don't go wandering around the wrong places with her. Re

    Although his voice contained obvious delight, he sounded warm. If she did not know any better, she would think that he was joking with her. Sherry pursed her lips and answered, “Yes, yes, I’ll send you the pictures right now, sir.” She hung up the phone immediately. Then, she took a picture of Caprice sleeping in Queenie’s arms and sent it to him. John replied almost instantly, “Why is Caprice asleep?” Sherry rolled her eyes. The man must be trying to pick a fight. How could a little girl not be tired after playing for the whole day?“She’s sleeping because she’s sleepy,” Sherry replied. “Why is she sleepy?” “She’s tired, so she’s sleepy.” “Why is she tired?” Sherry cursed out loud at her phone, “Are you dumb?!” Startled, Queenie, Aunt Wanda, and Jason all looked at her. Sherry awkwardly smiled at them. “I’m fine. I’m fine.” She then replied, “Caprice has been playing for the whole day. Of course, she’s tired.” “Didn’t you let her take a rest?” Sherry sighed. “Ca

    The voice message was brief but in a flirtatious tone. He repeated it again and again. His eyes and lips curved in delight as he enjoyed the pleasure her voice brought him. …After leaving the amusement park, Sherry and Queenie brought Caprice home. The car drove in through the gates and went straight to the house that Sherry and John were living in. Caprice was still sound asleep with her face slightly pink. Sherry carried her out of the car and went inside with Queenie and Aunt Wanda. As soon as Sherry stepped into the living room, she saw Julie who sat elegantly on the couch in her aquamarine dress. Although she had a kind smile on her face, Sherry felt like she was looking at the female owner of the residence. Well, Julie had always been in charge of the Stocktons' residence. “Julie, what brings you here?” Queenie asked out of curiosity. Julie stood up with a smile. “I’m here for Ms. Fowler.” She then turned her attention to Sherry. Sherry looked straight int

    “I told her, but she refused,” Julie said with a sigh. “Hmph! She just came back into the family, and she’s already keeping my granddaughter from me. If she continues to stay under this roof, there won’t be any place for me and you in the future,” Madam Stockton grumbled in anger and disgust. Julie immediately consoled her, “Mother, you shouldn’t say something like that. John will never do that.” Madam Stockton argued, “His mind is full of that wretched woman! He has forgotten about his mother!” It was then that a noise came from the living room next door. Madam Stockton’s gaze shifted, and she curled her lips. Julie pursed her lips and exchanged a quick glance with Madam Stockton. The two ladies then went closer to the wall to eavesdrop. In the living room next door, Sherry saw two familiar faces as soon as she walked in: Matthew and Janine. After an initially blank expression, Sherry regained her composure and sat on the couch opposite the duo. She leaned back and c

    Mathew’s eyes flickered nervously while Janine’s face turned pale. They did not expect such sharp insights from Sherry. Matthew sat down on the couch and said with furrowed brows, “Sherry, I have to admit that we did you wrong before, but we Fowlers aren't on the same level as the Stocktons. You saw what happened to your sister. I don’t want you to end up like her.” “She’s not my sister. She’s a murderer who tried to kill me. She’s in jail because of attempted murder. It’s not because of the Stocktons,” Sherry reminded them sternly. Although Shannon was deeply carried away by the fame and reputation of being Mrs. Stockton, the direct reason that put her behind bars was her attempt on Sherry’s life. Had she not tried to kill Sherry, she would not have ended up in jail. Julie and Madam Stockton grew serious when they heard Sherry. Julie said, “Mother, I didn’t expect Ms. Fowler to defend us.” Madam Stockton shared the same thought as well, but after listening to Julie’s words

    She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

    He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

    Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

    They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

    Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

    Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

    "How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

    "I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

    Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
