Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1689
Sherry turned to Caprice and announced, “Caprice, hang in there just a little longer, alright? Once the ingredients get here, Mommy will make something nice for you to eat.” Caprice nodded while munching her snacks. John raised an eyebrow and asked tauntingly, "Can you cook?" Back then when they were living in the rented place nearly a decade ago, Sherry had only tried to cook once and nearly burned down the kitchen in the process of doing so, which explained why that was her only episode in the kitchen. Ever since then, John was put in charge of cooking whenever he had time. Sherry glared at him sharply. “Keep your mouth shut, will you?” If this man was not going to keep his mouth shut, she would kick him out! John noticed the sharp glare in her eyes and zipped his lips. He decided to not get on her nerves anymore. The doorbell rang in no time, and the ingredients Sherry ordered from the supermarket had arrived. She shot a look at John. John took the hint and we

Within an hour, John had prepared two vegetable dishes and two meat dishes with an additional topping of soup to boot. Dinner was served. As if that was not enough, he even went out of his way to make some noodles for Caprice. Every dish was mouth-watering. Sherry gulped as she sat Caprice at the table. She wanted to feed Caprice but the child was a step ahead of her and was already hungrily devouring the bowl of noodles as soon as she sat at the table. Sherry was astounded. John took off his apron and joined them at the table, sitting across the pair. He smiled at the sight of Caprice enjoying the food, then he looked at Sherry. Just like previously, Sherry turned cold and avoided his gaze. He merely smiled and announced, “Come on, dig in.” Sherry did not budge. John asked coyly, "You’re the one who bought these ingredients. Are you not going to eat?” This drew a response out of Sherry. He had a point. Even though he was the one who did the cooking, sh

Sherry took a quick shower before snuggling in bed with Caprice. … Over the next few days, Sherry followed the same schedule. She would hand over Caprice to John in the morning before heading to work. After she returned home from work around the evening, she would take Caprice back with her. John would join them and be in charge of making dinner for them. After the meal, Sherry would help Caprice settle in for the night while John would clean up and leave without being prompted to. This went on until Friday. In the morning, Sherry handed Caprice to John after breakfast as usual before leaving for work. Work was not as hectic today, at least compared to the past few days. She was done with her work around four and had nothing left to do for the day. She grabbed her bag and prepared to call it a day. Just as she was walking out of her office, she chanced into a group of her employees who were chattering about something and shooting sly glances in her dire

Before Sherry could process what was going on, she heard the sharp screech of a brake from behind her. She turned around and saw Carl stepping out of his sports car. He leaned against his car with a look of pride and looked at Sherry with a charming smile, expecting her to fawn over the car. “Sherry, do you like it?" Sherry was speechless. Was this sports car stuffed with gemstones supposed to be a gift for her? Upon noticing her astonishment, Carl walked up to her and gently brushed his fingers against her cheeks. “You like it, don’t you? You look like you can’t even find the words to describe it.” Sherry took a breath and expressed what she truly thought, "Carl, didn’t I tell you that I don’t want this?” He had mentioned giving her a sports car on one occasion and she could recall her refusing the gesture. Carl smiled and declared, “It’s my code to not mistreat my woman so whether you want it or not, it’s yours now.” Sherry hissed angrily. “What do you mean

Sherry stepped out of the elevator. When Caprice spotted her, her eyes immediately glowed up and she cried out at the top of her voice, “Mommy!” She hopped toward her mother like a rabbit. Sherry smiled brightly and greeted Caprice warmly, taking her into her sweet embrace. Then she took the keys out of her pocket and went to unlock the front door, promptly stepping inside after unlocking the door. She did not spare even a glance in John’s direction the entire time. John frowned faintly before following her into the house. Just like the past few days, Sherry bought plenty of ingredients using a food delivery service. Then she went to the living room to watch cartoons with Caprice while they waited for the delivery. After the ingredients were delivered, John went to collect the delivery and took the plastic filled with ingredients into the kitchen. Since it was rather early for dinner, he only briefly prepared some of the ingredients and had not commenced cooki

After a hot and steaming plate of rice was served in front of Caprice by her father, she thanked her father lovingly, "Thank you, Daddy.” John smiled gently. "You're welcome, Caprice.” He picked up another plate and prepared to scoop Sylvia’s portion into it. Sherry snatched the plate from him with an unruly frown and did it herself instead. Then she sat down and ate without a word. John fell silent for a moment, then he got himself a plate and joined them at the dining table. Apart from the clatter of utensils, there was not so much as a whisper heard at the table. After her portion, Caprice announced, "I want to drink some soup!” John took a bowl and filled it to the brim for her. Caprice smiled. "Thank you, Daddy.” "You're welcome." Caprice drank the soup and savored every drop. John turned to Sherry and suggested, “It’s Saturday tomorrow and Caprice said she wants to go to the beach. Let's take her to the beach together.” Sherry held the spoon

The moon cast its luminous glow on John’s face. His aura took on a different form as usual. It was dark and gloomy, further accentuated by the cold gusts of wind that blew by, sending a cold shiver through his spine. The man stood by himself, castaway, and left to fend for himself in the lonely night. He silently crossed the road and entered the hotel lobby. As soon as he entered the lobby, two people approached him. It was Aiden and Caden. They had been waiting here for a while. They were both smiling. Aiden asked, "Mr. Stockton, did you come back from visiting your ex-wife?" John asked in a dark tone, “Did you come here just to ask me this?” Aiden went straight to the point. “She’s going to be engaged to Carl. Has she mentioned this to you?" John answered, his voice gloomy, "No." Aiden and Caden laughed at his expense. "Mr. Stockton, have you made up your mind yet?” Aiden asked with a taunting smile, “Are you going to let her marry another man and say

Sherry wanted to stop the car and greet them, but she remembered that Lisa and Carl were already waiting for her. Besides, now that Caprice was awake, it would be hard to have to explain to her directly why she could not spend the day with her today. As much as it hurt her to do so, she simply pretended to not notice them and stomped the gas pedal, accelerating past them. Caprice took notice of the car and seemed intrigued. She pointed a greasy finger at the back of Sherry's car that was driving off into the distance and expressed, "Daddy, that car looks like Mommy’s.” John's eyes darkened. "Yeah." The car was out of sight in no time. Caprice continued to nibble on the piece of waffle and the car had become nothing more than a passing thought. "Daddy, this waffle is so tasty, you should eat some too." She said as she brought the half-eaten waffle to John's lips. John took a tiny bite and smiled delightfully. "Thank you, Caprice." Caprice smiled brightly. “You're

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
