Chapter 1516


    Sherry scrambled for a response. When she turned around, John was staring at her intently with a gentle glow in his eyes.


    She felt a well of uncertain emotions and ended up telling him, “I know, | won''t just let myself get pushed around.”


    She did not need him to look out for her.


    John suddenly grew morose and said, “Alright, good to know. Take Caprice back to your room. We''ll see if something good


    happens tomorrow.”


    Something good tomorrow?


    “What do you mean by that?” Sherry’s curiosity was piqued.


    John made a strange look.


    As if to say: Wouldn''t you like to know?


    Sherry made a look, then she swung around and went back to her room with Caprice.


    John chuckled to himself and went to his room as well.


    The first thing Sherry did was to help Caprice settle in for the night. With Aunt Wanda’s help, they helped Caprice wash up and


    changed her into a set of clean pajamas.


    Then, she took Caprice to bed.


    Caprice fell asleep again the moment her headnded against the pillow. Meanwhile, Sherry went to the shower, it was her turn


    to clean herself up.


    After she came out of the shower, she changed into a set of pajamas and dried her hair before she returned to the bedroom.


    She stepped out of the shower to meet John lyingzily on her bed in a set of pajamas. Hey next to Caprice and held a book


    in hand.


    He looked very cozy lying on the bed and acted as if it was his bed.


    Sherry frowned disapprovingly and asked, “Who said you coulde in here? Get out of bed and go back to your room. | want


    to sleep.”


    John merely peered at her. “Sherry, this is my house. | can sleep wherever | want. If you’re not happy with me being here, the


    door is right there.”


    Sherry nearly went nk with rage. She could not parry with a counter—argument although this room was rightfully hers.


    “Either | sleep with you and Caprice here, or else I''ll take Caprice back to my room while you stay here.” John smiled coyly. “The


    choice is yours.”


    Sherry took a deep breath and walked to the other edge of the bed. She climbed in without a word and gentlyy down next to


    Caprice.


    The room was engulfed in silence.


    John directed his attention back to his book, hardly sparing a nce in Sherry’s direction.


    This time, it was Sherry who was stealing nces at him.


    The past two nights, he would only join her in the bed after she had fallen asleep. Tonight, with him being here while she was still


    awake, she realized she had trouble falling asleep.


    She tossed and turned in bed until midnight.


    She suddenly broke the silence and said, “Hey, Young Master Stockton, would you mind going back to your room first and only


    coming back here after | fall asleep?”


    John looked at her, and a hint of irritation shed past his eyes.


    Sherry suddenly grinned and said tteringly, “The magnificent radiance emitted from your noble self is too blinding, | can’t fall


    asleep like this ”


    John chuckled. “Heh... Do you need my help in falling asleep?”


    What sort of help?


    Sherry asked suspiciously, “How can you help me?”


    John set the book aside and gestured for her to approach. “First, you need toe over here.”


    Sherry was immediately rmed by this approach. She immediately turned around to face the other side of the bed and wrapped


    the quilt tightly and protectively around her body.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    He had already tricked her once back in the car, so it was not going to happen again! She was not to be taken advantage of!


    John smiled, took off his sses, and set them on the nightstand. Then, he flicked a switch to turn off the lights in the room.


    The room immediately descended into a thick sheet of darkness.


    Sherry could hear the soft ruffle of the bedsheets when Johny against the bed and after that, remote


    silence.


    Surely he would not try anything weird, right?


    If he was going to do something, he would have done it sometime during thest two nights when she was asleep.


    She told herself to stop worrying. Before long, she had drifted off to sleep.


    Unbeknownst to her, the manying on the other side of the bed was staring at the ceiling, his eyes wide open without the


    slightest hint of sleep within them. He seemed slightly flustered as if there was something deeply bothering him.


    At one point, Sherry woke up naturally, it was already daytime.


    She realized that she was the only one left in the room.
