Chapter 1680
The door opened, and Sherry walked in with Caprice. John followed them in.
Sherry turned around to glare at him. He stopped and stood still in the living room like a monolith and kept his distance from the mother and daughter.
Sherry’s grim expression eased up when John decided to act tactfully. She then smiled at Caprice and asked, “Caprice, are you sleepy? Do you want to continue sleeping?”
Caprice sneaked a glance at John and then shook her head. “No. I’m not sleepy.”
“Do you want to have anything to eat?”
The girl shook her head.
“Do you want to play games?”
The girl continued to shake her head.
Sherry sighed helplessly. “Then, what do you want to do?”
Caprice leaned into her arms and said adorably, “I don’t want to do anything. I just want to be with Daddy and Mommy.” She stuck her cheek to Sherry’s chest, looking adorable and obedient.
Sherry patted the girl’s head. “Okay.”
She carried the girl to the couch and sat opposite John with her back turned. The girl could see John, but he would be away from her sight.
However, the atmosphere got a little too quiet, and Sherry felt uncomfortable with the man staring at her from the back. A quick thought later, she said to Caprice, “Caprice, why don’t I play some stories for you?”
Caprice nodded and hummed a reply.
Sherry pulled her phone out. She had downloaded a lot of e-books for children.
When she first came back to Coastrock, she had a problem with insomnia, and it was the children’s storybooks that lullabied her to sleep most of the time. All the storybooks that she listened to were Caprice’s favorites.
The voice that read the storybook sounded gentle and expressive.
She looked outside into the living room and saw Caprice and John. Caprice was sitting on John’s lap in the well-lit living room. She was munching on a piece of cake while watching cartoons on John’s phone.
The entertaining content on the phone put an adorable smile on the girl’s face.
Sherry walked out of her room.
When the father and daughter heard her footsteps, they turned to her.
“Mommy…” Caprice called out happily.
Sherry smiled at her.
Caprice got up from John’s lap and walked over to her mother.
Sherry carried the girl into her arms and asked, “Caprice, when did you wake up?”
