Chapter 1670
Ding!
Sherry was building blocks of sand with Caprice when the phone in her pocket rang.
It was one of her employees calling her, they were probably wondering where she had been this entire time.
Caprice heard the phone ring as well and promptly stopped playing as she cast a
ruminative look at her mother.
She did not want them to part just yet.
Sherry wanted to prolong their time together as much as she could as well. She picked up the call and promptly informed, “Hey, something urgent came up so I’m going to have to leave early, no need to wait for me.”
Her employees were understandably disappointed to hear this and expressed, “But President Sherry, we haven’t even got the chance to drink with you yet.”
Sherry smiled faintly and said, “Sorry, I’m not feeling well today. I don’t think I’d be able to drink with you all even if I didn’t have to leave early.”
“Alright then, be careful and make sure you get home early and get a good rest.”
“Sure, have fun and remember to send the bill to me.”

She hung up after that and gazed into Caprice’s marbly eyes that were looking back into hers as if caught in a trance.
She asked worriedly, “Mommy, are you not feeling well?”
Sherry eased her worries with a quick smile. “Don’t worry, Mommy is very healthy, I just had to make up an excuse so they understand why I can’t go drinking with them.”
Caprice was relieved to hear this.
Sherry’s heart melted when she noted how much affection Caprice had for her. She lifted Caprice in the air and planted a kiss on her cheeks. “Come on, Caprice, let’s build a sand castle.”
Caprice gleefully obliged.
They continued playing in the sand, ignoring John’s presence the entire time although he was just a short distance behind them.
John silently gazed at Sherry and observed her frail figure, his brows tightened.
The two continued playing until late into the night.
