Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 1546
The image of John fresh out of the shower surfaced in Sherryâs mind again against her will. She felt her cheeks glowing hot and
tried to turn away from John so he would not notice. She asked him a question to distract him, âDo you have anything lined up
later?â
John answered, âThereâs a meeting later. | also need to join this event thatâs taking place later this evening.â
Sherry was thrilled to hear this and quickly seized the chance. âThen can | take Caprice home with me first?â
John gave her a sideways look. âWe'll wait until Caprice wakes up.â
âFair enough,â Sherry said.
John walked out.
Caprice happened to wake up just as soon as he left.
She snapped her eyes open and cried out the moment she recognized who was next to her, âMommy!â
Sherry took Caprice into his arms and repeatedly planted kisses on her chubby cheeks. She threw on a coat for Caprice and
took her out of the room.
John was sitting at his desk going through stacks of documents.
When he heard them approaching, he darted his eyes for a quick look.
Caprice was still slightly drowsy since she had just woken up and was slouched over Sherryâs shoulder.
Sherry smiled warmly at him. âTake your time, I'll take Caprice home first.â
John let them go and merely mumbled, âOkay.â
Sherry hurriedly shuffled out.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator with Caprice in her arms, all of the employees in the building fixed a surprised look in
her direction.
Sherry caught on to what was happening.
She was so focused on trying to get Caprice out of there as soon as possible that she forgot the fact that everyone in the building
recognized Caprice.
Sure enough, all of the employees dropped their tasks and stared at her with equal shock and suspicion.
They were curious how a mere visitor who came to see their president was allowed to simply waltz off with the presidentâs dear
daughter.
Everyone knew that in the past two years, Caprice had never been cared for by anyone apart from President Stockton himself,
so he simply would not allow it.
Their perplexion concerning this strange occurrence was slowly mounting. There must be something more to this!
Sherry stiffened, then she made herself move and quickly marched out of the building.
Just as she was about to reach the exit, she ran into Jason, one of Johnâs security forces.
It seemed like Jason had been waiting for her. When he noticed her approaching, he greeted her with a smile and informed her,
âMadam, Young Master Stockton has instructed me to wait for you here.â
The employees were still staring at her, and they were becoming very curious.
Fortunately, they were far away enough to not hear Jason addressing Sherry as madam.
Sherry thanked him, âAlright, thanks.â
She quickly shuffled out with Caprice.
John followed after her.
As soon as they vanished from the building, the employees grouped together and began speculating.
âWhat's going on? Why did Young Master Stockton let Sager Corporationâs President Sherry take his daughter?â
âHe even let his trusty bodyguard accompany her.â
âYou guys donât think something is going on between them?â
That was when the receptionist from earlier supplied. âWhen President Sherry got here earlier today, Assistant Peter specifically
instructed me to give her direct access to the president's office. He said | didnât need to notify the president and that this was the
standard procedure from here on.â
As soon as she supplied this information, everyone began to catch onto something.
âYou think thereâs really something between the two presidents-â
âWhat are you guys talking about?â They suddenly heard a familiar, authoritative voice from behind.
They turned their heads in unison and recognized Peter. Every one of them stood upright and greeted him with a polite smile.
Peter may come off as being rather by the book sometimes, but the truth was he was very popular among the employees
because of how pleasant he was to talk to.
One of the employees plucked up the courage to ask directly, âAssistant Peter, we just saw Sager Corporationâs Miss Sherry
walk out of the building with Miss Caprice. We even saw Master Stocktonâs bodyguard escorting her, thatâs why we were
curious.â
Peter's eyes shifted. âWhat are you curious about?â
