Chapter 1400
With that, the call was rudely cut off.
Sherry watched as John took Caprice with him and strode into the parking lot.
The closer he got, the more visible his enraged expression became.
Caprice, clutched in his arms, seemed to be able to sense his fuming emotions. She grabbed tightly
onto his collar and gaped at him meekly.
Soon, the figures of the father and daughter walked past Sherry’s car and entered the silver car parked
on the other end of the parking lot.
Shortly after that, the car revved its engines and drove away.
Peter and the crew of bodyguards entered their respective vehicles as well and drove away.
Sherry heaved a sigh of relief. She dropped her hand that was still clenching the phone up till this point.
After a while, she turned to the driver. “Let’s go back, Brandon.”
Brandon glanced at her through the rearview mirror and answered in a low voice, “Got it.”
Inside the silver car coursing down the highway.
It was still and quiet.
Both the driver and the bodyguard in the passenger seat felt like they were suffocating underneath this
tense atmosphere. They had to temper the pace of their breathing for fear of upsetting John.
The pressure only grew heavier as time went on to the point where they felt like they were being
crushed.
Just as they were about to break down from the sheer pressure, a honeyed voice suddenly chirped.
“Daddy, what’s going on?”
Caprice had been wanting to ask this for a while and could not keep it inside her any longer. She turned
to John blankly.
John softened up immediately, the dull and gloomy air surrounding him seemed to scatter away.
He made himself smile and assured Caprice. “Daddy is fine.”
Caprice stared at him as if scrutinizing him with her eyes. “If Daddy isn’t happy, Caprice won’t be happy
either.”
She pouted as she said this and looked upset.
John smiled and brushed her cheeks. “Daddy isn’t upset
because of you.”
Caprice chirped. “I know that, but I don’t want Daddy to be upset at all.”
As if by magic, John suddenly calmed down completely.
He inched his head toward Caprice. “Daddy might feel better if Caprice would give me a kiss.”
Smooch!
Without any hesitation, Caprice pursed her lips and planted a kiss on John’s cheek.
John was very satisfied.
Upon seeing John’s earnest smile, Caprice grinned from ear to ear, revealing a row of milky white
teeth.
She was very sweet when she smiled, like a sun irradiating John’s mood.
The sinking feeling in his chest was instantly swept away. He gave Caprice a gentle kiss on the cheek
as well.
The girl giggled with joy and buried herself in her father’s arm and snickered like a little gremlin.
John was so completely bedazzled by her adorable behavior and could not stop laughing.
The atmosphere inside the car became one filled with warmth and love.
The driver and bodyguard up ahead both heaved a silent sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Sherry had just got back to the hotel when she received a message from Sylvia.
Sylvia was checking up on her to see how she was getting along in Glanchester.
Sherry replied, “Hey Sylvia, everything is fine here in Glanchester. Don’t worry about me.”
Sylvia asked, “Have you seen Caprice yet?”
The mention of Caprice filled Sherry’s eyes with tears. She replied, “I saw her. I saw her twice,
actually.”
Sylvia was very concerned. “Did John see you?”
Sherry informed, “He knows I’m here but he hasn’t seen me.”
Sylvia did not have much to say after that. It seemed like she did not know how to respond either.
