Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1648

Chapter 1648

Madam Stockton’s expression turned grim.

Queenie stared at her mother. “I don’t care what you are going to say. I won’t allow you to stop John from going to look for Sherry!”

As her voice subsided, John was coming out of the room. He looked at his mother with a rather frosty expression.

Madam Stockton’s expression shifted immediately and said, “John, I have something to talk to you about. Don’t worry, I’m not here to stop you. I just want to tell you something that happened a long time ago.”

John looked rather dubious. “Something that happened a long time ago?”

Madam Stockton’s eyes flickered. She somehow started to evade his gaze, but she mustered up enough courage to speak in a softer voice than usual, “I’ve buried it in my heart for a long time, and it’s time for me to tell you.”

John’s expression changed as well. He looked at Queenie and said, “Leave us.”

Www

Queenie released Madam Stockton’s arm. She had one last worried glance at her mother before she reluctantly walked out.

The living room returned to silence.

John looked at Madam Stockton. “What is this about?”

Madam Stockton took a deep breath and said, “The truth why you and Sherry broke up nine years ago.”

“You left the house because of her, and your father forced you into labor work. You were injured and I was worried, so I told her that if she doesn’t want to push you over the ledge, she must break up with you…”

Her voice stuttered as she reached the end of the explanation.

She started to tremble, not just because of the dense atmosphere, but also because she could no longer control her son who she took pride in raising.

John’s face turned pale and his eyes were bloodshot as if he was bloodthirsty.

“Anything else?” he asked.

Madam Stockton flickered her eyes and continued, “She left crying and said she would have to think about it. I met her two days later, and she agreed. She even said she had broken up with you, but you didn’t want to let her go.

“I told her that if she doesn’t want your father to continue torturing you with labor, she has to break up with you completely. Then, she emphasized how poor you were and tried to use all kinds of excuses to leave you, but you didn’t let her go either. You had to work even harder and got insulted by those bastards…

“I was worried about you, so I went to her again, and she asked Mason for help…”
