Chapter 1483
He had Caprice sleep over at her place very recently. What had changed since?
John smiled. “No, you haven’t crossed me recently.”
This only made Sherry more upset. “Then why don’t you let me see Caprice?”
She suddenly felt a sharp tingle in her nose and an urge to cry seized her out of nowhere, and she wanted to
attribute it to the freezing air.
She glared at John vehemently as if looks could kill.
The look in John’s eyes gradually softened, and he released Sherry.
“Sherry was not expecting this and nearly lost her balance.
After several drunken steps, she regained her footing.
She stepped away from John and cast an apprehensive look at him.
John tucked his hands in his coat pockets, stood tall and straight, not one to bow in front of anyone. He resembled an English gentleman in his getup.
He regarded Sherry with a distant look. “No specific reason, I just decided that I won’t let you see her again.”
Sherry protested. “I’m her mother, why can’t I see her?!”
“Because you abandoned her after giving birth to her.” He looked at her apprehensively, his tone sharp like a dagger.
Sherry exhaled exasperatedly. “You know exactly why I had to leave her, stop screwing with me!”
John sneered. “That’s no excuse for you to abandon your daughter for more than two years.”
Sherry zipped her lips.
She did feel like she was in the wrong here as she should not have made the rash decision to leave Caprice behind.
Also, this was not the time to bring up long–past affairs that no longer made a difference as it would only serve to ‘enrage the man further.
Cold surges of wind blew from every direction.
Sherry remained silent for a while before finally
speaking, “I was wrong, it was my fault. I promise you that I’ll never leave Caprice again from here on so… could you please find it in your heart to let me see her again?”
She said this in a sincere voice and turned up to meet John’s gaze.
C
The beads of tears swelling in her eyes reflected the luster of the streetlamp above.
It was heart–wrenching to see her in this state.
After a brief silence, John asked, “And how will I know that you’ll keep your word?”
