Chapter 1484

Chapter 1484Sherry frowned at this remark.

Caprice was her treasure. There was not a day in these past two years where she had not thought about her. She would giveaway everything just to be with her daughter.

How was it fair to question her dedication toward her daring daughter?She knew that he would never believe her so there was no point in voicing these thoughts.

She swallowed her spite and asked in a serious voice, “Is getting a marriage certificate the only way? Are there no otheroptions?”

John looked at her coldly and announced, “No.”

Sherry peered into his eyes. “Marriage isn’t a trivial matter. Don’t you want to discuss it with your mother and other members ofyour family, and see if they have any thoughts on the matter?”

He answered swiftly as if he had a reply ready all along, It’s just a legal formality, we’re doing this for Caprice. There will not be awedding nor a need to ask for their blessing.

Sherry felt a throb in her heart.

His intention to get engaged secretly suggested that he did not want any outsiders to know about theirarrangement. As far as the public was concerned, Master Stockton was still a bachelor.

They only needed the marriage certificate, nothing more than a formality so Caprice would have a proper family.They would continue living as they always had and seek to coexist peacefully.

That was fine with her, so long as he would not keep her imprisoned as he did in the past. Besides, this meant she, would havemore opportunities to see Caprice and could bond with her.

Once she had achieved a certain degree of trust with Caprice, she could take Caprice away when he least expected it.

She was not planning to get married in the future anyway so the marriage certificate was just a useless scrap of paper as far asshe was concermed.

Countless thoughts seemed to flash past her eyes until eventually, she turned to him with a resolute look in her eyes. “Alright, asyou wish, a marriage certificate. When are we going to get this done?”

John nudged his glasses so Sherry would not notice the jubilant look in his eyes as he got what he wanted.When he was finished adjusting his glasses, he returned

to his usual standoffish self.

He decided. “I have time tomorrow morning. Wait for me at the company at nine in the morning.”

Sherry agreed. “Alright.”

With that, she shuffled to the side to make way for him.

John swiped a glance at her, then he strode off, disappearing behind the gates of the villa.

Meanwhile, Sherry went the other way and headed toward the main road.

The next morning.

At eight-thirty, Sherry had already arrived at the lobby of the Stockton Tower. She made sure to bring herdocuments with her.

After about twenty minutes, John showed up in a silver

car.

She hurried toward his car.

Instead of getting out of the car, he only lowered the window and regarded her guardedly. “Have you brought all yourdocuments?”

She patted the bags and assured him. “I have them right here.”That was when she heard an endearing voice come frominside the car. “Mommy!”

It was Caprice’s voice.

She craned her neck and tried to steal a look at Caprice.

The car window was pulled up immediately so she could not even catch a glimpse of Caprice.

Moments before the windows closed, she heard John’s voice ordering her sternly, “Go to the car back there.”

Sherry frowned and looked behind the car.

Parked behind it was another black car. Its exterior was, glossy and freshly polished.

Peter stood next to the car and smiled at her politely.

She took a deep breath and went to Peter.

They were on their way immediately after she got into the car. The silver car in front took the lead. After a shortfifteen—minute journey, they arrived at the city hall.

John got out of the car by himself.

Peter immediately grabbed a briefcase and got outside of the car to follow him.

Sherry swiped a look at the silver car, then she followed them into the city hall.

They entered via an alternate entrance, she wagered it was because John did not want anyone to know about their engagement.They were given special privileges and did not have to queue, and the documents were sorted out with absurd efficiency.John wore a stoic look on his face the whole time. He only smiled when the staff asked them to smile for a picture.Sherry similarly made herself smile at the camera.

Shortly after that, both of them were given a red book.

The picture they had taken together was printed on the, cover page of the book. Inside the picture, both of them were smilingwarmly and seemingly sincerely.

To the unsuspecting individual, they looked like a charming, lovely couple embarking on a married life together.
