Chapter 1806
To Sherry’s surprise, Queenie and Madam Stockton came to the airport to pick them up.
After leaving the airport, the group of Sherry, John, and Caprice headed back to the Stockton villa.
The surroundings of the villa were the same as they had remembered it. However, they noticed that there were new flowers in the garden and some new decorative details on the exterior.
Some of the flowers were in full bloom while others were still mere seedlings. As a result, it added a different splash of youthful flavor to the ancient villa that seemed to be a relic of a long gone past.
Upon stepping through the courtyard, Caprice leaped out of Madam Stockton’s arms and strolled into the garden. She jabbed at a colorful bell hanging on one of the branches.
Queenie approached her. “Caprice, I made these myself and hung them around the garden. Aren’t they beautiful?”
Caprice nodded, mesmerized by the trinket. She quickly asked, “Aunty, can I take it and play with it?” “Sure-” She had barely finished her sentence when Caprice plucked the bell off.
She did not forget her manners. “Thank you, Aunt Queenie.”
Queenie chuckled softly. “You’re welcome.”
Sherry jerked her lips to one side and began scanning the house.
Queenie mentioned that she was the one who decorated the garden. Sherry noticed that the walls were painted with bright murals, then she saw strips of tiny bulbs lining the corridor. Was Queenie behind all of this?
It was then that Madam Stockton asked her, “Sherry, what do you think of the new look?”
Sherry answered quite frankly, “I think it’s quite interesting.”
Madam Stockton smiled and stated, “It was Queenie who touched up the place. I don’t know where she learned all this, but she insisted that this was how it should be done. If you don’t like how it looks, I will send an interior designer over tomorrow and you can tell them what changes you’d like to make.”
Sherry refused kindly, “I think it looks nice as it is. There’s no need to make changes.”
