Chapter 1395
The driver joked. “You’re usually
the one on the chase, it’s interesting to see the tables turned around for once.”
Sherry expressed with a tired sigh, “I can’t confront this man just yet, all I can do is bide my time and hi
de for now.”
It was fortunate that she made it out shortly after John left with
Caprice. If she had dallied around a moment longer, she would be caught by John.
She wagered that Caprice could not keep her
lips sealed and eventually confessed everything to John after getting into the car with him.
There was no chance that she would hide a secret from John considering how close the two were.
Just the sheer thought of the bond the two shared was searing to Sherry.
If it was not for his underhanded move of breaking
into the confinement center to take Caprice away from her two years ago, Caprice would undoubtedly c
hoose her over him any day of the week!
An hour later, inside the lobby on the first floor of the clubhouse.
John was seated on the sofa with Caprice in his arms.
The personnel in the clubhouse along with the team of security forces had rummaged through every co
rner of the entire clubhouse not just once but twice. They eventually came to John, fearful of his wrath.
Caprice had fallen asleep by this point.
John carefully balanced her in one hand while he flipped through the stack of
documents with his other hand. It was a compiled list of all the registered members at the clubhouse.
When he arrived at the last page, he immediately spotted the name ‘Sherry Fowler‘, it was the latest en
try.
It would appear that she had only registered this very night.
He was puzzled by this. His coming here with Caprice was a last–
minute decision, how did Sherry come to know of it?
He fell into deep thought, then he picked up his phone and
noted down the phone number Sherry registered with.
The manager observed what he was doing and informed cautiously, “Master Stockton, we had no idea t
hat Miss Sherry was involved with you at all. If we knew, we’d have informed you the very moment she
stepped through the entrance.”
John returned the stack of documents to the manager
after saving Sherry’s contact. He smiled courteously and pardoned the manager. “It’s alright. If you see
her again, please make sure she doesn’t sneak away.”
The manager answered confidently, “Yes, sir. If we ever see her again,
I promise you that we won’t let her get away.”
John saw that there was no need to prolong their conversation so he carried Caprice and walked out.
Nobody spoke the entire way home.
By the time they arrived back at the house, it was already midnight.
The rain outside had progressed from a gentle trickle to a downpour.
John took Caprice and quickly trotted into the house.
The lights inside the house were still on.
As soon as he walked inside, Madam Stockton, Queenie, and Julie came out to greet him.
Madam Stockton led the charge and asked John
anxiously, “John, why did you come home so late today? Is Caprice asleep already?”
“Yeah.” John stepped up to her and carefully passed the sound asleep Caprice to her, then he promptly
unbuttoned his jacket.
Madam Stockton carefully took the girl, an affectionate
look surfaced on her face when she observed how peacefully Caprice was sleeping.
Julie approached John. “Here, give me the coat.”
John obliged and handed her the coat, then he took Caprice back into his arms.
Madam Stockton seemed slightly perturbed by this and complained a little, “Come on, let me hug her jus
She gestured for John to hand Caprice to her.
John refused to yield. “It’s very late and she needs to rest. You can hug her all you want tomorrow.”
With that, he took Caprice and went straight back to the
bedroom.
Madam Stockton grimaced, it was as if John did not trust her to not wake Caprice up!
Everyone knew that the real reason was that he was very possessive of his precious daughter.
As upset as Madam Stockton was, she could not fault him for it. She tried to follow John into the bedroo
Queenie and Julie both trailed after her.

They watched silently as John took off the child’s coat in one swift, practiced motion. After that, he tucke
