Chapter 1485

Sherry did a double take.

The staff congratulated the newlyweds warmly, “Master Stockton, Mrs. Stockton, | wish the both of you a happy marriage.”

John answered politely, “Thank you.”

Then he turned to Sherry. 1

Sherry was still staring at the marriage certificate with a dumbfounded look in her eyes. He put his hand out and gently tapped

her head.

Sherry came back to her senses and turned to look at him.

She met the sinister gaze in his eyes.

Yet, he made sure to keep his usual charming smile. He looked like the happiest man on earth, nobody would ever know the

sheer amount of hatred this man had

harbored inside him.

Sherry frowned and felt an inexplicable uneasiness welling up in her heart.

John spoke to her, “What are you daydreaming about? Are you not going to leave?”

With that, he took his marriage certificate and walked out.

His usual hostile demeanor had returned.

Sherry heaved a sigh of relief and brushed off the heavy feeling in her chest. She must have been overthinking things.

She tossed her marriage certificate in her bag and followed him out.

The car was parked by the entrance of the city hall.

After John emerged, he got into his car right away.

Sherry looked at the black car she was driven here in and’ wavered as she cast a longing look at the car John had just entered.

She fulfilled her end of the deal. There was no reason she should not be allowed to see Caprice.

While she was still pondering whether she should

approach John’s car, the windows lowered and revealed John’s unmistakably dashing profile, his eyes peering into her soul.

His voice was rather impatient. “What are you doing standing over there? Are you going to see Caprice or not?”

Sherry glowed up at the invitation as she quickly got into the car from the other side.

Caprice was tucked into a child seat next to John.

As soon as she noticed Sherry entering, she extended her arms as far as she could toward Sherry and cried out in that sweet

voice of hers, “Mommy!”

Sherry felt like she would melt right then and there.

She pulled Caprice into her tight embrace and said

passionately, “Oh, Caprice my baby, mommy misses you so much.”

Caprice was just as emotional as she was. “Caprice misses Mommy too.”

Smooch!

Sherry could not withstand the urge to plant a big kiss on her cheeks.

Caprice tightened her lips and seemed to take several seconds to register what had happened. Then, she pursed her lips and

returned the favor.

Sherry was on cloud nine.

She hugged her again and showed her with all the affection she could muster and promised her. “Caprice, mommy will never be

separated from you again.”

Caprice was delighted to hear this and bobbed her head up and down, nodding vigorously.

Last night, her father had spoken to her about what will happen today. He told her that from now on, her mother would be with

her every day and tell her bedtime stories

every night.

Sherry kissed Caprice again and again, her adorable puffy cheeks were irresistible.

Caprice frowned slightly and asked in a puzzled voice, Mommy, why do you always kiss me?”

It appeared that the child was not used to this manner of affection.

Sherry held up her cheeks and answered with a bright smile, “That's because you're so cute! Mommy can’t resist kissing you

every time she sees you.”

This answer was very satisfactory to Caprice, she smiled radiantly.

She revealed two rows of pearly teeth when she smiled.

Sherry palmed her cheeks in hand. It took everything in her to hold herself back from kissing Caprice again. She exclaimed

brightly, “Oh, my Caprice is even more beautiful when she smiles!”

Caprice was giggling, she loved being complimented.

Meanwhile, John sat quietly next to the duo fawning over

each other.

He observed the way the pair of mother and daughter smiled in a similar manner, the same crook on the corner of their lips.

Their resemblance to each other startled him a little and brought a smile to his lips.

Shortly after that, the car began to accelerate.

Sherry was so busy playing with Caprice that she hardly paid any attention to where they were going.

It was only until the car stopped by the entrance of the Elysian Hotel that she finally snapped back to reality.

She darted a suspicious look at the man next to her. What are we doing here?”

ll

John reached forward and took Caprice away from her arms, then he shot an icy look at her and said, “You have ten minutes to

pack up. Caprice and | will be waiting for you here.”

Sherry was puzzled. “Pack up?”
