Chapter 1496

There was a balcony outside Caprice’s room.

Sherry quickly took her phone to the balcony and answered the call.

Carl's unhappy voice instantly rang out from the phone. Sherry, did you check out of the room? Where did you go?

“| didn’t go anywhere. I’m still in Glanchester. | left in a hurry during the day and didn’t have time to tell you.” Then, she asked

him, “What are you calling me for?”

“Can't | call you when you run away without saying anything?”

The corners of Sherry’s lips twitched. “If you have nothing to say, I’m hanging up.”

“Wait!” Carl quickly asked, “Where are you now?”

“I'm safe. Don’t worry about me.”

Carl was silent for two seconds and asked in a cold voice, ” Did you move in with Master Stockton?”

Sherry’s throat choked for a moment, but she said honestly, “Yes. I’m at the Stocktons‘ residence now.”

“Sherry Fowler, did you forget that we're getting engaged?!” Carl raised his voice. It was several times louder than usual.

Sherry was startled and pursed her lips, saying, Coastrock and Glanchester are thousands of miles apart. No one there will

know. Besides, | moved in for Caprice’s sake. | won't shout about living with him.”

Carl did not speak.

Sherry knew his temper well. He was probably reining it in.

She added, “Don’t worry, Carl. I’ll do what | promised Madam Sager.” She would do her best to help him take over Sager

Corporation.

Carl lowered his voice and asked, “Do you think I’m angry because you won’t help me?”

Then, was he angry that she moved out of the hotel without telling him?

Sherry said, “I didn’t mean to not tell you | was moving out. | just forgot.”

Carl snorted and hung up the phone.

Sherry did not get angry as she put the phone away and turned around. Then, she saw John leaning lazily against the door to

the balcony. His eyes stared at her gloomily from behind his glasses.

“Was that Carl Sager?”

“Yeah, what about it?” she retorted.

“What did he say to you?”

Sherry was a little displeased. “What has that got to do with you?”

John lifted his long legs and walked closer to her.

Sherry quickly took a few steps back and was soon backed up against the railing.

John walked up to her until he was just a few centimeters away from touching her.

She was afraid that she would fall off the railing if she leaned back.

He raised his hand and cupped her chin, then lowered his head toward her and smiled coldly. “Sherry Fowler, you’re Caprice’s

mother now as well as my legal wife. Do you think it has nothing to do with me if a man calls you in the middle of the night?”

“| didn’t say anything to him. | forgot to tell him | was moving out today, so he called me because he couldn’t find me.” After

saying that, she could not help but add, ” Besides, we only got married because of Caprice.”

Why was he trying to control her?

John’s gaze went cold, and his voice suddenly turned icy. Even if it's just an agreement, you're still my wife.”

Sherry’s eyes flickered as her jaw ached.

He squeezed her chin tightly and said, “No matter how many other men you have outside, you'd best forget about them all. If |

find out that you dare to cuckold me again, I’ll make you go back to wherever you came from, and you'll never see Caprice again

in your life.”

He obviously still held a grudge against her for what happened nine years ago.

Sherry frowned and said, “Don’t worry, | lost interest in men a long time ago. | won't let you be disgraced, Master Stockton.” Her

voice was frank.

John’s gloomy face eased up a little. “You'd better keep to your word.”

“| will.” Sherry saw his pleased expression and said, “Can you let go now?”

They were just a few centimeters apart from each other.
