Chapter 1566
John seemed very concerned. “What’s the matter?”
Sherry tightened her lips together but could not stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks.
John was stunned by this. He wondered if it was because of something he had
done. “What’s wrong, Sherry?” he asked again, staring at her worriedly.
“Sniff…” Sherry sobbed and tried her best to contain her emotions.
John stiffened.
The last time he saw Sherry in such a state was ages ago. It was so long ago that he had forgotten how vulnerable she could be at times. It was heart–wrenching to see her like this, to imagine what she was going through.
He wondered how to handle this. Then, he gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back gently. “It’s alright, don’t cry.”
Sherry suddenly felt an enormous amount of grief taking over her, and this made her bawl her eyes out. She suddenly cried out at the top of her voice, “Why did you do it? Why did you keep me imprisoned in your house and make me work like a slave? You made me pull weeds and produce embroidery for you! You even married Shannon just to rub it in my face! Why would you…”
John frowned. He thought that Sherry of all people should know why he had done what he did.
Sherry’s voice got caught in her throat, she stopped shouting, “You’re a good–for- nothing prick. I’ve never done anything wrong. I’m the victim in all of this. Do you have any idea that you put me through hell since our break up?”
John seemed greatly affected by what she said. He pulled away from her and held her by the shoulders. From this angle, he could see straight into her reddened eyes. ” What are you talking about? What time were you referring to? When did you become the victim?”
Sherry continued to sob. She was completely hysterical and bawled as loudly as she could. John was silent.
She was charged with emotions and constantly beat his chest with her tiny fists while crying. When she recalled everything that happened to her in the past, she cried even louder and continued to thump her fists on John.
John scowled and tried to comfort her, “Sherry, calm down.”
“I’ll show you how to be calm, you jerk…” She continued sobbing while pummeling him.
John stayed silent. He took off his glasses and pulled her into his arms, then he pressed his lips against Sherry’s.
“Almost,” John replied softly.
As soon as he said that, the car stopped outside their courtyard.
Jason‘ appeared from inside the courtyard and went up to open the door for them.
John gently pulled away and got out of the car first.
Sherry suddenly felt an inextricable sense of loneliness when John moved away. She turned around and pushed the door of the other side, intending o get out. Her head was still very dizzy and she had trouble maintaining her balance. It looked like she was going to stumble out of the car and fall.
That was when a strong pair of arms reached out and grabbed her, so she was lifted off her feet effortlessly.
John carried her in his arms and allowed her head to rest against his shoulder. His grip was firm and reassuring, and he began to step into the house.
Shortly after that, they arrived in a warm and cozy room.
