    She approached Queenie and Madam Stockton.


    Madam Stockton was focused solely on Caprice and did not acknowledge her. Julie turned to Queenie with a smile, “Queenie,


    didn’t you juste back from shopping with Sherry? Why is it just you and Caprice? Where is Sherry?”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Queenie informed her, “Sherry said she has some work to do.”


    Julie had a strange reaction andmented, “What''s the matter with her? How could she just leave Caprice behind?”


    Queenie frowned. She felt that Julie was being unfair and immediately spoke up for Sherry, “What do you mean by that? She


    entrusted Caprice to me and Mother, didn’t she?”


    Madam Stockton seemed to have overheard what Julie said as well, which was evident by her darkening, expression.


    Julie hurriedly exined, “No, I’m not saying that you two cannot take good care of Caprice. | just can’t help but notice the


    difference between Sherry and John. John always keeps Caprice by his side at all times while Sherry seems like she doesn’t


    mind letting her be on her own.”


    Queenie countered, “It’s not like that. She knows that we miss Caprice as well, so she specifically made a point of letting us


    spend time with her.”


    Julie looked towards the garden. It seemed like Madam Stockton was not paying attention to what they were saying anymore


    and only had her eyes fixed on Caprice. Julie mumbled under her breath, “Wouldn''t it be nice if that were the case?”


    “You know, | was wondering if you have a problem with Sherry,” Queenie said out of nowhere.


    Julie seemed intimidated by this question.


    Madam Stockton looked like she was only paying attention to Caprice, but she was fully alert and listening in.


    After a brief pause, Julie asked, “Queenie, why are you asking this out of the blue? Did Sherry say something about me?”


    Queenie was not one to run circles around a subject. She said whatever was on her mind, “She never badmouthed you or


    anything like that. | only asked because what


    you just said about her being negligent about Caprice sounds like you have something against her.”


    Julie tried to salvage it, shing the same smile as always. “It’s not like that. You might have misunderstood. | just found it


    surprising that she would entrust Caprice to Mother because | thought there were some issues between them. Then, when you


    told me she specifically entrusted Caprice to you two | thought she was not being very attentive to Caprice. I’m sorry, | must have


    misunderstood her.”


    She salvaged the situation very expertly.


    Queenie seemed convinced by this and remarked with a quick smile, “Sister—inw, Sherry is a good person. She has some


    problems here and there, but at the end of the day, she’s more than fine.”


    Julie smiled, “I feel the same way too, but | just thought it would be better if she would show more genuine respect for Mother.”


    Queenie shot her a look.


    The catalyst was Madam Stockton choosing to be standoffish with Sherry, which only generated the same sort of response from


    Sherry. If they wanted to fix things, it would require the same amount of effort from both sides, Madam Stockton had to adjust her


    attitude as well.


    She could not voice this opinion of hers because she was afraid that Madam Stockton would give her a stern scolding if she ever


    said it out loud.


    Upon noticing her apprehension of continuing the discussion, Julie smiled faintly and turned to Madam Stockton again.


    Madam Stockton was still looking at Caprice, but her mood seemed darker than before.


    Could she be upset because Sherry did not respect her?


    It was true that Madam Stockton was feeling rather upset at this moment, but it was not because of how she felt toward Sherry,


    but more so because of her reflection on what Julie had just said.


    Even Queenie immediately recognized what seemed like Julie’s hostility toward Sherry.


    However, toward the end of the conversation, Julie had switched her tone and expressed how she wished Sherry would be more


    respectful toward Madam Stockton. Why was she constantly reiterating this point?


    Madam Stockton knew she had always advised Julie to keep her distance from


    Sherry, and it bothered her to hear what Julie had to say about the situation.


    It was then that a silver car rumbled down the main road and stopped in the courtyard.


    It was John’s car.


    Even from inside the garden, Caprice could tell that her father hade home. She immediately put aside her toy and waddled


    to the entrance to greet her father.


    Madam Stockton was worried she would trip over herself and quickly got up to follow her.


    Julie was one step ahead of them and got to John’s car before any of them did.


    Madam Stockton took notice of this but did not think much of it.


    Shortly after that, John opened the door and got out of the car.
