Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1422

Chapter 1422

Sherry felt a lump growing in her throat.

She was in no mood to get into a screaming match with John. Still, she voiced her frustration with him. “John, just say whatever is on your mind and stop being so weird about it.”

John smiled coyly. “I did go back there to find you, but that’s mostly because you’re the mother of my daughter. You can humiliate yourself all you want but it’s when it starts affecting my daughter’s reputation when it concerns me.”

Sherry felt something tightening in her chest, suffocating her.

Upon noticing her reaction, the smile John wore grew wider. “You asked me why I was asking about the nature of your relationship with those two men you speak of. Well, I was just wondering what the current state of your private life is like. If you’ve done something

inappropriate with them, I believe you’d not be fit to become a mother and I’ll immediately have you kicked out of this city.”

He made a point of emphasizing the sentence ‘kicked out of this city’.

His tone was unfalteringly threatening.

Sherry felt like John had plunged a dagger into her heart as he said this. She gestured helplessly with her arms and said, “You don’t have to worry about that, I’m doing well enough on my own. Those two are the only good Samaritans who took the time to take me to the hospital. They left immediately after that.”

“Good.” John set the cup down and rose.

He was a head taller than her so the moment he rose to his feet, Sherry felt meek in his presence.

She quickly drew to the side, away from him.

John glanced at her and stepped forward.

After having taken two steps, he suddenly came to a stop as if a thought occurred to him. He looked at her intently and said, “Sherry, since you abandoned Caprice two years ago, I’ve lost all respect for you. If you’re still capable of feeling any shred of shame, I’d like you to stop trying to fool yourself by telling yourself that I still care for you.”

Sherry grimaced and took a deep breath. She smiled sarcastically and said, “You don’t have to worry about that. Even if I’m as thick–skinned as you said I am, I still have some self–respect. I’d pick any common man off the street before even considering the great Master

Stockton.”

A sharp look greeted John’s eyes for a split second.

He quickly wiped away the look and smirked. “I hope

you’re speaking from the heart.”

As if fearful that Sherry was lying about her feelings, he made sure to add, “The sheer sight of a woman like you disgusts me.”

With that departing statement, he dragged his tall figure past Sherry and walked out of the hotel.

Although the hotel lobby was warm and cozy, Sherry felt a cold gush of air rush past her and shivered all over.

She could feel her entire body seizing up with a cold and turning stiff.

After a while, a rush of warmth poured over her face.
