Chapter 1713

His thin lips moved and said, “I was wrong. It was my fault for blaming you.”

Sherry’s rage was ignited by his words. She lost control of her emotions and shouted, “I don’t want to hear any of this! Get the

hell out of my face!”

Even after she shouted at him, John showed no intention of moving.

Sherry pushed him. She wanted to shove him to the side, but he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms. He curled

his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

Sherry struggled as hard as she could while she felt like she was being pierced by a thousand. needles. She hated being so

intimate with him.

“Let me go!” she shouted.

He hugged her as tight as he could and said in a small voice in her ear, “Sherry, I’ve learned the truth about what happened nine

years ago. I’m sorry. | was wrong. | mistreated you for all these years.”

His expression grew bitter as he apologized.

Sherry froze before she uncontrollably scoffed. She had forgotten about nine years ago if he did not bring it up.

In order to make him return to his family and stop him from suffering with her, she had gone through a lot just to break up with

him. In the end, not only was she terribly hurt, but he had even resented her for so many years.

The reason why Julie’s scheme was able to succeed was because of John’s resentment of her. It was because of the trauma

from nine years ago that he no longer trusted her.

He learned the truth in an untimely manner. Now that she had decided to cut all ties with him, he came haunting her.

How ironic.

Sherry smiled helplessly. “That’s ages ago. I’ve forgotten about it.”

She continued shoving him. She wanted him to disappear from her face and never appear before her again.

However, the stronger she struggled and pushed, the tighter he hugged her.

Sherry mustered all her strength but failed to even make him budge. She lost her strength after struggling for a while and she

could no longer shout. She scoffed and said softly, “John Stockton, what is the meaning of this?”

“| don’t want you to go find Carl,” he said.

She could not see his face, but she heard his trembling voice clearly in her ears.

“| won't allow you to find him either,” he added.

Sherry’s chest tightened. She wished she had the strength to beat the man to death, but she

sounded helpless when she pleaded to be freed. “Let me go.”

“I'll let you go if you don’t go to him.”

Sherry pursed her lips. “John Stockton, do you know how disgusting you are right now?”

John frowned.

“| feel disgusted when you touch me,” she said coldly.

He used to imprison her, hated her, and forced her to eat grass on the lawn. Now, he hugged her tightly and refused to let her go.

He has no right to do this to her!

The apartment plunged into silence.

Asecond after her words subsided, he released her. He looked at her with bloodshot eyes that were hiding behind his golden-

framed glasses.

Sherry had fair skin. Her frosty look made her look like snow in the winter, and it set off her bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.

The man was petrified. He gulped and asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you really have to go find him?” “Yes. Please stay out of my

way,” she said coldly.

He pursed his lips. “Sherry, we haven't legally divorced. Even if you are engaged with him, you can’t marry him.”

Sherry looked into his eyes and said calmly, “In order to marry him, | must first divorce you.”

John was disheartened. He asked, “You are planning to be engaged to him, then divorce me before you marry him?”

“Yes,” she said.
