Chapter 1460
After returning to the Elysian Hotel with Carl, Sherry went back to her room.
She made sure to lock the door behind her as she entered. After that, she unpacked the luggage she brought with her. She took a long–awaited shower before collapsing onto the bed in a set of pajamas.
She turned off the lights and the room immediately descended into darkness. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yet, she did not feel sleepy.
Whenever she closed her eyes, the scene of John pressing her against the wall and forcing a kiss on her would replay in her mind as if it had only happened seconds ago.
Her cheeks were burning with heat. She was incensed at the mere thought of it.
Did that awful man suddenly take an interest in her again after seeing her recent accomplishments?
After tossing and turning in bed for a while without even a hint of sleep, she sat up irritably and reached for her phone.
As soon as the display lit up, she was greeted by Caprice’s adorable appearance filling the frame of the display.
Just like that, her irritation was washed away. She grazed her fingers against the screen, a part of her expecting to feel the soft texture and warmth of her daughter’s cheeks. She even kissed the screen several times.
Her daughter was so unfathomably adorable!
The more Sherry stared at her picture, the more charmed she became.
Her irritation may have been washed away, but what took its place was a bitter spite.
If she continued remaining passive, that man would only take it as a sign that he could continue doing as he liked.
Sherry told herself that she was no longer the same
helpless and frail little girl that could be simply pushed around two years ago. She had to pull herself together and take Caprice back!
The next morning.
Inside Stockton Tower.
John arrived at the office with Caprice in his arms as usual.
As soon as they arrived, Caprice went straight for her usual play area.
John sat in his office chair and got started with his tasks for the day.
After a while, there was a soft knock on the door. Peter pushed the door open and stepped inside.
He looked at him with a troubled expression and informed, “Sir, Miss Sherry just… I mean, President Sherry’s assistant just got in contact with me several minutes ago.”
John turned to him. “What did her assistant tell you?”
