Chapter 1600
John stood unmoving.
His whole figure was engulfed in the darkness of the night, save for the shining gleam of his gold-rimmed glasses.
He noted the frantic and terrified demeanor of Sherry but did not utter a word.
Sherry was deeply terrified of the man. He was more menacing than the devil himself. She wrapped her arms around her neck protectively and whimpered, “I didn’t know your mother was tailing me. After you called me, I began to regret what I was doing and wanted to bring Caprice back… I never intended for anything to happen to your mother…”
She was curled up into a ball and had never felt as terrible as she did at this moment.
John watched her silently.
After a long time, he approached her.
Sherry shrunk away from him, but there was nowhere for her to go with the wall right behind her. She guarded her neck with her hands and stuck close to the wall, hoping she could somehow slip through it like a ghost.
John suddenly stopped when he realized how terrified Sherry was.
Sherry seemed slightly eased when she noticed him stopping, but the same cautious look lingered in her eyes.
John frowned and asked, “So, you’re saying that it’s not your fault, is that it?”
If she had not taken Caprice in the first place, Madam Stockton would not have had to chase her down, and none of what happened after would have gone down at all. Sherry realized this as well and knew that she had exhausted all excuses.
“Is it because I’m not good enough for you? Am I supposed to hold my tongue and just learn to deal with it when I see you sneaking around with the man you used to cheat on me with?” He could not suppress his emotions and trotted up to Sherry. He bent over and grabbed her by her chin. “You just decided to up and leave with our daughter just because I lost your temper at you once because of your actions?”
There was a sharp and angered look in his eyes when he roared from the depths of his soul, “Sherry, how could you be so heartless?! Did you have any idea how hard I tried to look for her in the years when you went missing? Do you know that I married you not only for Caprice but mainly because I wanted to marry you?
“I cared so much about you that I looked past what happened back then and help Mason, the man you dumped me for! I did it just because you asked me to!
“And what did you ever do for me? Nine years ago, I cut off all ties with my family to be with you, and where did that get me? You cheated on me and dumped me because I was too poor for you!
