Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1538

Chapter 1538

She approached Queenie and Madam Stockton.

Madam Stockton was focused solely on Caprice and did not acknowledge her. Julie turned to Queenie with a smile, “Queenie, didn’t you just come back from shopping with Sherry? Why is it just you and Caprice? Where is Sherry?”

Queenie informed her, “Sherry said she has some work to do.”

Julie had a strange reaction and commented, “What’s the matter with her? How could she just leave Caprice behind?”

Queenie frowned. She felt that Julie was being unfair and immediately spoke up for Sherry, “What do you mean by that? She entrusted Caprice to me and Mother, didn’t she?”

Madam Stockton seemed to have overheard what Julie said as well, which was evident by her darkening, expression.

Julie hurriedly explained, “No, I’m not saying that you two cannot take good care of Caprice. I just can’t help but notice the difference between Sherry and John. John always keeps Caprice by his side at all times while Sherry seems like she doesn’t mind letting her be on her own.”

Queenie countered, “It’s not like that. She knows that we miss Caprice as well, so she specifically made a point of letting us spend time with her.”

Julie looked towards the garden. It seemed like Madam Stockton was not paying attention to what they were saying anymore and only had her eyes fixed on Caprice. Julie mumbled under her breath, “Wouldn’t it be nice if that were the case?”

“You know, I was wondering if you have a problem with Sherry,” Queenie said out of nowhere.

Julie seemed intimidated by this question.

Madam Stockton looked like she was only paying attention to Caprice, but she was fully alert and listening in.

After a brief pause, Julie asked, “Queenie, why are you asking this out of the blue? Did Sherry say something about me?”

Queenie was not one to run circles around a subject. She said whatever was on her mind, “She never badmouthed you or anything like that. I only asked because what

you just said about her being negligent about Caprice sounds like you have something against her.”

Julie tried to salvage it, flashing the same smile as always. “It’s not like that. You might have misunderstood. I just found it surprising that she would entrust Caprice to Mother because I thought there were some issues between them. Then, when you told me she specifically entrusted Caprice to you two I thought she was not being very attentive to Caprice. I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood her.”

She salvaged the situation very expertly.

Queenie seemed convinced by this and remarked with a quick smile, “Sister–in–law, Sherry is a good person. She has some problems here and there, but at the end of the day, she’s more than fine.”
