Chapter 1752
Sherry wore a quiet frown. She briskly opened the door and stepped inside the house with Caprice in her arms.
John followed her into the house with the food in hand.
He placed the container on the table and opened it, releasing the aroma of the food into the house.
He turned to Sherry and repeated the same thing. “Caprice ordered these for you, come on and eat.”
Caprice urged her to eat as well. “Mommy, it’s very tasty, come on and eat it!”
Sherry hesitated briefly, then she approached with Caprice still in her arms.
John noticed her apprehension and immediately stepped away from the dining table and retreated to the couch in the living room.
Sherry sat down at the dining table with Caprice on her lap.
It was a gourmet meal with a vast variety of seafood, chicken, and pork ribs. Aside from that,
Caprice even ordered drinks and dessert that she knew her mother would like.
The food was mouth-watering.
Even though Caprice already ate, she still gulped when she looked at the food.
Sherry smiled when she noticed the hungry glow in Caprice’s eyes and gave her a piece of pork rib.
Caprice immediately began gnawing at it.
Sherry grabbed the utensils and dug in as well.
Her mind was still replaying what she saw just now at Ron’s villa. Her appetite was ruined the moment she thought of the exchange she witnessed.
Caprice was still nibbling the pork rib when she noticed that her mother stopped eating. She seemed concerned and asked with a puzzled look, “Mommy, why aren’t you eating?”
This caught the attention of John who was sitting on the couch as well.
Sherry smiled softly and remarked, “Mommy is kind of full.”
Caprice did not have much to say as her attention was occupied by the piece of pork rib in her hand.
Sherry silently looked at Caprice sitting on her lap, nibbling away at the pork rib like a hamster, and smiled. She always felt better whenever she was with Caprice.
Soon, Caprice finished eating.
Her hands and lips were stained with grease.
Sherry took her to the bathroom to help her clean up and ended up having Caprice take a shower.
After that, she tucked her into a set of pink pajamas.
He gently, carefully shut the front door after he left.
Sherry frowned sullenly.
She went to take a long shower. She splashed water over her face several times to try to rinse out the sinking, suffocating feeling to no avail.
She ended up heading back to bed and snuggled with Caprice.
It was very comfortable snuggling in bed with Caprice.
Just like that, Sherry’s irritable mood was soothed.
She thought about what John told her, that he was nothing like Ron.
It was true. Ron was an egoistic, arrogant scumbag who took pride in his cheating. John did not have such flaws. However, he did his fair share of horrible things to her in the past.
She remembered what happened when Shannon conspired against her several years back. It ended with her being locked in the house by John like a caged animal for many torturous months. There was another similar episode only several months back with Julie, that ended with her nearly getting burned alive in the middle of nowhere.
Although it was not his intention to harm her, he was largely responsible for everything that happened! He was responsible for her trauma!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, she clenched her teeth unknowingly.
The only way she managed to calm herself was by looking at her calm sleeping expression of Caprice. She kissed Caprice several times to settle her restlessness.
