Chapter 1788

John said soberly, “Yeah”

With that, Madam Stockton took Queenie and made her leave the room. Queenie was still trying

desperately to get a word in.

Sherry was blindsided by what happened.

She did not expect John to be so supportive, nor did she expect Madam Stockton to be so understanding.

After Madam Stockton and Queenie left, she turned to John and asked curtly, “You've been here long enough Haven't you begun

missing home?”

Glanchester was his base of operation, and most of his assets were in there as well.

He had spent a considerable amount of time in Coastrock, so it was not reasonable to expect him to spend much longer here.

“Peter and the others are keeping things in order for me. Besides, | can manage well enough remotely” He assured Sherry.

“Don’t worry.”

She stated with a troubled expression, “My work is in Coastrock, I’m not leaving anytime soon.”

He smiled, his voice still gentle and reassuring. “I know, just focus on your work and don’t worry about the rest.”

Sherry tried to put things as bluntly as she could. “I’m saying that you're free to head back if you have things you need to take

care of. You don’t need to feel pressured to stay by my side.”

John smiled. “Alright, but | don’t have anything urgent to attend to.”

Peter was more than capable of holding down the fort.

He wanted to be wherever Sherry was. After finally winning her trust again, he was not going to allow himself to be separated

from her again. He would not allow anyone to swoop in on her in his absence.

Sherry observed him. He spoke with lucidity and confidence, he had everything under control.

She gave in. “Alright.”

Meanwhile, in the living room.

After Madam Stockton took Queenie out of the bedroom, Queenie immediately protested. “Mom, why wouldn’t you let John take

Sherry back to Glanchester?”

They belonged in Glanchester.

Madam Stockton said in a hushed, urgent voice, “Can't you see that she doesn’t want to go back?”

Queenie was perplexed by this. “She’s made up with John, hasn’t she? Why wouldn’t she want to go back?”

“Sager Corporation is based in Coastrock and she’s a senior executive, why would she want to leave? She has a lot of

commitment and responsibilities here. What do you think will happen to her work if she goes

back to Glanceshter?”

Queenie finally understood, but she continued to grumble. “But our family business is based in Glanchester. Is John supposed to

live here with Sherry and Caprice for the rest of his life?”

“Don’t worry about that, your brother will figure things out.”

Queenie frowned and still seemed skeptical. “Mom, | don’t want to be so far away from John, Sherry, and

Caprice all the time”

Madam Stockton teased her “How old are you? You’re still acting like a child if you feel lonely, go find yourself a partner”

Queenie pouted “I don’t want to, | don’t plan on finding one anytime soon

Madam Stockton peered at her and expressed somberly, “Queenie, you're twenty seven

Queenie was getting rather annoyed, so she turned around and went to sit next to a window

Madam Stockton sighed weakly

She had said everything that needed to be said In the past, she would have continued to impose her will on Queenie However,

everything that happened lately had softened her, so she decided it was better to not interfere with her children’s affairs

There was an important meeting that required Sherry to attend in person

The meeting lasted until nearly noon.

After the meeting. Sherry thought of Madam Stockton and Queenie who were still at her place She hurried home so she could

take them somewhere nice for lunch. She stepped into the house and mmediately noticed an assortment of steaming hot dishes

laid out on the dining table

John was resting on the couch reading a book. He was dressed casually.

Queenie was watching cartoons with Caprice.

Madam Stockton emerged from the kitchen in an apron. She was balancing a bowl of soup in hand

Sherry was shocked by the display.

Upon noticing her, Madam Stockton smiled and motioned to the dining table. “Sherry, you came back just in time! | just finished

making soup. Come on, have a seat and eat with us.”

“...Okay.” Sherry was amused by the full course laid out on the dining table.

Madam Stockton must have seen the entranced look in her eyes. She explained with a shade of embarrassment, “John ordered

these from a restaurant. The soup is the only thing | made myself.”
