Chapter 1586

Chapter 1586Sherry sat beside the bed for a while. She wanted to see Caprice, but the girl was with the man.

She had no idea if the man was still mad at her, and if she took the risk to go out, it might exacerbate things. Therefore, all shecould do was hide in the room.

Back in the living room, Caprice had just finished a bag of snacks.

John wiped her mouth and asked, “Do you want more?”

Caprice shook her head and then looked in the direction of the bedroom.

John’s gaze shifted. He asked, “Caprice, what are you looking at?”

She said with protruded lips, “Why isn’t Mommy coming out?”

He was silenced.

Caprice was obviously upset by her mother’s absence. “Daddy, why did you bully Mommy?”He said with a smile, “Daddy did not bully Mommy. I’m just joking with her.”

She furrowed her tiny brows. She pondered and said, “Then, can you not joke with her again?”John's eyes flickered. He then curled his lips and said, “Alright, Daddy knows what to do.”Caprice immediately widened her lips into a smile.

He hugged her with a smile. “Are you sleepy now? Why don’t we go to bed?”

“| want to listen to Mommy's stories.”

Amomentary silence later, he said, “Okay.” He carried the girl up and headed to Sherry’s room. He knocked but there was noanswer.

The door was locked from the inside as well.

Had he frightened her with his words and actions earlier? Why would she be so defensive all of a sudden?

His brows furrowed as he carried Caprice out. He took a detour from outside the house and soon arrived at Sherry’s balcony. Heopened the connecting door and carried Caprice into the room.

He saw Sherry sitting by the bed with her messy hair and thick clothes. She seemed to have fallen asleep.Caprice said, “Daddy, Mommy is sleeping on the floor.”John narrowed his eyes. “Yeah.” He then approached Sherry and tapped on her head.

Pak!

Sherry woke up. When she saw the man before her, her pupils shrank and she instinctively moved backward.

John was disheartened by her reaction. He then said, “Caprice wants a story.”

Then, Caprice reached out her little arms and said, “Mommy, | want to listen to ‘Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf’!”Sherry felt relieved as she carried the girl in her arms, but she remained cautious against John.

He tightened his lips. “I have to go settle some work matters. I'll be back in two days. Stay at home and take care of Capricewhile I’m gone.”

Sherry’s eyes flickered. “Got it.”The man then left from where he came in.Sherry went over as soon as he disappeared and locked the connecting door.

To her surprise, the man had not gone very far and was standing right beside the door. She noticed him when she locked thedoor.

His tall figure and kind looks looked rather intimidating under the moonlight.
