Chapter 1669

Caprice pouted softly. “Okay.”

Sherry took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She ignored John entirely and proceeded to sit on the sand again as if nothing

had happened.

Caprice lay quietly in her arms and looked at her with her large, pearly eyes, then she cast a glance at John who was standing

nearby.

He was not up to anything at all. He only stood motionlessly and stared at Sherry’s figure from behind.

Caprice frowned.

She did not know what went wrong between her parents.

She asked Sherry directly, “Mommy, did you fight with Daddy?”

Sherry seemed affected by this question and answered with a faint smile, “No, we didn’t fight.”

This only filled Caprice with more questions. “Then why were you so angry at Daddy?”

Sherry wanted to tell her that things were more complicated than a simple fight.

He tried to kill her.

She knew better than to blurt out something that would cause her to worry and said, “You wouldn’t understand even if Mommy

told you. One day you'll get it when you’re older.”

There was not much else Caprice could say to refute this point, but she was still trying to remedy the situation. “Could you please

make up with Daddy and not be angry at him. anymore?”

Her voice was angelic and soothing as always.

Standing a short distance behind them, John’s expression suddenly shifted.

Sherry looked at Caprice, deep with emotions, and told her, “Mommy promises to stop being mean to Daddy, but | can’t promise

that we'll make up.”

Caprice was upset by this. “Why can’t you make up?”

“It's very complicated, you wouldn’t understand even if | told you.” Caprice’s dejected reaction made Sherry feel guilty for being

so blunt. She gently patted Caprice’s head and tried to console her. “But you don’t have to worry at all, Mommy will always love

you.

This was not enough to console Caprice, she whimpered, “But | want Mommy and Daddy to make up.”

Sherry grimaced and did not answer.

It was impossible for her and John to reconcile their differences. She chose to remain silent to not hurt Caprice’s feelings.

After failing to get a proper response from Sherry, Caprice sighed faintly.

Adults were so complicated.

She lowered her head to the ground and began drawing circles on the sand to distract herself, she looked entirely downcast.

Meanwhile, John’s figure was still towering over them.

When he looked at Sherry’s figure, the light in his eyes dimmed.

They would never make up?

She had gone and said it so bluntly to Caprice of all people. This was proof of how unsalvageable the situation was.

It did make sense, however.

The first time he wronged her was nine years ago. Then, three years ago he had her locked up in the house for more than a

year. The straw that broke the camel's back was the recent episode where his actions had almost led to her being burned alive.

He thought that if he was in Sherry’s shoes, he would feel the same hatred.

It only made sense that she hated him with all her being.

It was unreasonable to blame her for not wanting to make up after all that had happened.

Despite all that, he was not going to let her cut him out of her life completely.

Don’t even think about getting married to another man!

Nobody said anything for a long time and at one point, he sat on the beach as well.

Sherry joined Caprice and played around in the sand.

John smiled as he watched the pair of mother and daughter enjoying their little games.

The entire time, Ada was hiding from a safe distance and witnessed the entire interaction between John and Sherry. She grew

wide-eyed as she watched Sherry play with Caprice in her arms and John sitting behind them.

She had never met John and Caprice, but when she followed Sherry after she went downstairs, she overheard Caprice calling

Sherry her mother. She had heard the things Sherry said to the man.

If her assumptions were correct, that child in Sherry’s arms was her daughter and that unfathomably handsome man was his ex—

husband!

This entire time, Sherry was married and had a daughter!

The implications were clear, she could feel her heart beating faster, and she found herself

grinning devilishly from ear to ear without realizing it.

As it was, she was already testing Madam Sager’s patience. If everyone in the family found out that she was married and had a

daughter this entire time, she could say goodbye to her chances of ever being part of the Sagers!
