Chapter 1530


    Sherry then went inside the house, and Jason followed.


    Madam Stockton noticed there was no one else in the front yard, so she came out and walked back to her own ce.


    A few stepster, she saw Julie waiting for her at the corner.


    Julie smiled and said, “Mother, | heard John came back with Ms. Fowler and Caprice. Are you here to see them?”


    Madam Stockton’s expression turned frosty and said with annoyance, “Indeed, | saw


    them.”


    Julie went up to her and said out of concern, “Then, why are you walking back?”


    Madam Stockton did not want to tell Julie that she was almost exposed for watching from afar, so she simply said, “Caprice was


    sleeping, so | came back.”


    Julie’s eyes flickered. “What about John? What did he and Ms. Fowler say to you?”


    Madam Stockton did not even meet him. If Sherry had not badmouthed her in front of John, the mother—and-son rtionship


    would not be this tense, and she would not need to peek from afar just to have a nce at Caprice.


    The thought about Sherry made her mad. She grumbled, “Nothing!”


    Julie pursed her lips. She apanied thedy for a short while and asked meekly,” Mother, did Ms. Fowler say anything to


    you?”


    “Hmph! She wouldn’t dare!” Madam Stockton’s expression turned frosty. “But | bet she’s bad—mouthing me in front of John.”


    “She’s with John almost every day, and since you are having difficultymunicating with her, I’m sure she''ll say a thing or two.”


    Madam Stockton frowned and her expression turned grim.


    Julie watched as thedy''s expression shifted. She continued, “But | believe John won''t simply believe her. He knows who you


    really are, and he cares about you.”


    Madam Stockton’s brows remained furrowed. Her expression screamed anxiety and frustration.


    If John really cared about her, he would have let her see Caprice already. He obviously cared about Sherry more.


    Sherry had just married into the family recently, and he was already starting to keep Caprice from her. In time, she might even


    lose her position in the house. The thought of it fueled her anxiety.


    “Mother, you shouldn''t be thinking about that now,” Julie said.


    Madam Stockton red at her. “Enough. Stop talking!”


    The anxiety was driving her mad.


    Julie zipped her mouth. She did not react sourly to Madam Stockton’s temper but showed submission instead.


    Madam Stockton was instantly drowned by her guilt. She liked her second daughter- inw, but she felt sorry for her as well.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Her second son passed away a few days after the wedding. Not only did Julie remain a widow until now, but she even helped the


    Stocktons take care of everything in the house. Sherry was not even half as good as her.


    Madam Stockton switched to a softer tone and said, “Julie, I’m not mad at you. I’m


    mad at that woman.”


    “| understand, Mother. | just hope that you can let it go. Being angry will only harm your health,” Julie said softly.


    “Sigh. If only Sherry is half as good as you, | wouldn’t be this angry.”


    “Mother...”


    “Stop persuading me. | want to be alone for a while.” Her mind was drowning in messy thoughts.


    Julie pursed her lips. “Okay.” She stopped following Madam Stockton, and simply


    watched from the back.


    Madam Stockton continued walking home with her head down. Even without seeing her expression, her walking posture alone


    screamed anxiety and frustration.


    Julie grinned.


    Judging from the progress, Madam Stockton would soone up with a n to chase Sherry out of the house.


    Back inside Sherry and John’s house, when Sherry entered the living room, John had already ced Caprice in her room.


    Sherry went to the room as well and took off her jacket and shoes. Shey down beside Caprice and said to John with a smile,


    “I''ll take care of her. You can go do your own thing.”


    John curved his lips. “Il have nothing to do now.”


    He then unbuttoned his jacket.
