Sherry called her, “Caprice, Daddy is tired. Why don’t I carry you instead?”

Caprice finally looked at her and put her hands out.

However, John said, “Daddy is not tired.”

Caprice retracted her hands, and Sherry grumpily stared at him.

As though he noticed her sour expression, John looked at her with a smile. “I’m taller than you. Caprice can see further if I carry her,” he explained why he did not let her carry Caprice.

Sherry’s eyes flickered.

Caprice then grumbled, “Daddy, up, up!”

Up?

Sherry was slightly confused by what that meant.

John then carried Caprice higher and sat her down on his neck.

Sherry finally realized what he meant by Caprice being able to see further. Although she knew he loved Caprice, she did not expect him to pamper her to this extent.

Besides, Caprice seemed to get along better with John than herself.

Sherry felt jealous and slightly annoyed.

The collaboration with the Stocktons was at its final phase, and when everything was settled,

    He carefully and gently carried Caprice from Sherry’s arms. Sherry was confused by his gentle movements. Was it to prevent waking her up? As the question lingered in her mind, his scent came closer again and his strong arms wrapped around her. Soon, Sherry was carried out of the car. The chilly wind was unforgiving outside the car, but the man’s strong arms and broad shoulders shielded her from the cold. Her heart raced. She never thought the man would carry her out of the car. Given his temper and character, should he not wake her up inside the car? What was with the kindness? The question caused her annoyance and anxiety. She hoped he did not hear her pounding heart. A while later, the surroundings got warmer. She was carried into the living room, and she even heard John speaking to Aunt Wanda. “Aunt Wanda, please take Caprice back to her own room.” “Alright,” Aunt Wanda answered. Sherry was more baffled than before. What did he mean? Was he not putting her to

    Sherry’s eyes gleamed. Barbecue! She loved having grilled meat outdoors! For some reason, she had a feeling that the man prepared the grill just for her. John raised a brow at Sherry’s stillness. “What’s wrong? Don’t want to eat? Then, I’ll tell them to bring the things back inside.” “No! Wait! Yes! I’ll go right now!” He had already prepared the grill, so why not just enjoy it rather than let the effort go to waste? Sherry got up from the bed and strode outside but was stopped at the door by the man. He put his hand behind her neck and tugged her closer into his arms. Sherry was forced to lean on his chest, and before she could react, he said in his deep voice, “Put on a jacket before you go out.” He then released her. Sherry’s heart raced and her chest heaved strongly. She hummed a reply as she went to get a jacket in the closet before coming back out. As usual, John was sitting by the window in the living room. Outside the window was the front yard with the gri

    Julie sat elegantly on the couch, enjoying her fruit tea and pastries. When she heard Mia’s update, her expression turned frosty. John already went out with the mother and daughter for the whole day, yet he came back and prepared the grill for the woman? What did the uneducated woman from a rural village do to deserve the man’s care and love? Mia noticed her master’s expression, and out of annoyance, she added, “Madam, I even saw Jason and Aunt Wanda eating with them. Ms. Fowler has really ruined the rules around here. I don’t know why Master Stockton likes her so much.” Julie grunted but quickly recovered her composure. She thought of the collaboration between the Stocktons and the Sagers and the fact that John and Sherry did not have sex at night. She added, “Did you find the seam on the wall leading to John’s backyard?” Mia had gone there earlier looking for the entry point and found it. “Yes. It’s just like you said. The seam is right behind the garden and was blocked

    Sherry came out from the bathroom with John and Caprice. The leftovers and the plates on the table were kept away, and so was the grill outside the corridor. All that was left in the front yard was a layer of snow. Caprice wanted to play, so Sherry held the girl’s hand and had fun in the front yard for a while. After playing for a while, Sherry brought the girl inside, fed her dinner, and continued playing in her room. Later that night, Sherry read the girl a few more stories before putting her to bed. Sherry then washed up and changed into her pajamas before she lay back down beside Caprice. As soon as she settled down, a towering figure came in from the door. The man wore blue satin pajamas but had intentionally left a few buttons open. Sherry’s eyes gleamed. John curved his lips at her. His handsome face looked extremely gentle yet bewitching with his smile. Sherry’s heart raced. She quickly turned away and closed her eyes. The man was trying to seduce her with his

    Although the pictures were in different sizes, they were all of a single man. The pictures captured the man in different events and places, some in formal wear, and some in casual clothes. There was not a single picture that showed the man’s face, but they all managed to capture his exquisite presence and elegance. The man in the pictures was John. Julie’s expression softened when she entered the secret room. She walked to the center of the room where there was a wax statue of John at the exact same height. The handsome suit, the golden-framed glasses, and the hyper-realistic texture of John’s handsome face really made her feel like John was indeed standing before her. The subtle smile on the statue’s face set off his presence. Julie went up to the wax statue and looked at it with an infatuated gaze. Then, she undressed, tiptoed to hug the statue, and kissed it on the lips. …A few days went by since then. On this particular day, Sherry was woken up by her own alarm. S

    Sherry lost the mood to argue with John. She quickly carried the girl into her arms and consoled her. “I’m sorry, Caprice. Mommy was loud, wasn’t I? Did I scare you?” Caprice nodded pitifully. Sherry stroked her cheeks and said softly, “Mommy was being loud at Daddy, not you. But I promise you I won’t speak so loudly in front of you anymore.” Caprice pouted and nodded. “Mommy, don’t be loud to Daddy too.” Sherry had no resistance to the girl’s adorable voice, especially when she was her precious daughter. She nodded and said, “Alright. Mommy won’t be loud to Daddy anymore.” It was impossible for her not to be angry with John, but at least she had to keep her temper from Caprice. Caprice finally regained her composure after getting her mother’s assurance. Sherry picked up the spoon and continued feeding her. She had a glance at John and saw the man smiling mischievously. It was as though he was challenging her to be loud at him in front of their daughter again. …After

    Tea was served in the meeting room. Sherry and her subordinates sat down on the other end of the table. The receptionist said, “Ms. Fowler, please wait for a while.” Sherry smiled. “Okay. Thank you.” There were over twenty minutes left until the meeting time. Arriving earlier showed the Sagers’ sincerity in this collaboration, so Sherry was more patient than usual. To her surprise, the door was opened before she could finish her tea. Peter was the one who opened the door, and then John came in. The man’s slender figure and his expensive suit appeared before Sherry’s eyes. The golden-framed glasses set off his handsome features, and he looked even more charming when he smiled at Sherry. Sherry was stunned. She thought the meeting would start at 2 o’clock, so why did John come over so early? While Sherry’s subordinates stood up immediately, she had to regain her composure first before getting to her feet. John walked to her and put a hand out for a handshake. “Ms. Fow

    Caprice was holding a toy plushie while dozing off on the couch. She tried her best to fight the sleepiness but was losing as time passed. “Caprice…” Sherry called the girl as she strode over. Caprice was awoken by her voice and her eyes widened immediately. She answered with a sleepy voice, “Mommy…” Sherry carried the girl into her arms and kissed her on her chubby cheeks. “Caprice, Mommy missed you.” The little girl widened her grin when being showered with kisses. “Do you miss Mommy?” she asked. “Oh, yes.” Caprice’s eyes felt extremely heavy after the brief excitement, and she looked like she would pass out any moment. She grumbled, “But I want to sleep too.” Sherry smiled. “Okay. Mommy will take you to bed.” She then carried the girl into the mini lounge. She helped the girl to remove her jacket and shoes before putting her on the bed. Caprice clung onto her clothes and said, “Mommy sleep too.” The girl wanted her mother to sleep with her. Sherry smiled. “Okay,

    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
