Chapter 1678


    Back in the restaurant, even if Sherry was an idiot, she could tell it was actually ‘dinner’ instead of lunch. She had no idea what


    had gotten into Carl’s mind for arranging a


    candlelight lunch in the middle of the day.


    However, she agreed to have a meal with him, so she tended to keep the promise. She reluctantly walked in and sat down.


    Carl sat opposite her across the long table.


    The waiter served the food and left them alone, leaving only a violinist ying inside. The music was pleasant to the ears.


    Just when Sherry wanted to eat, Carl stopped her. He raised his ss of red wine and smiled bewitchingly with his charming


    eyes curved. “Sis, a toast.”


    Sherry grabbed her ss and said, “Carl, congrattions on closing two major deals. Cheers.” She then finished the ss of


    wine in a single gulp.


    Carl pursed his lips helplessly and took a small sip of wine.


    Sherry then moved her attention to the steak before her. She was toozy to cut it with a knife, so she forked the whole piece


    and started chewing it.


    Carl was stunned. He simply responded with a helpless and bitter smile.


    After a while, he narrowed his eyes and smiled bewitchingly. “How’s the food, Sis?”


    Sherry said without looking at him, “It’s quite okay.”


    “Do you want one more?” he asked.


    “Yeah,” she said with a nod. It was delicious, but the portion was a little small for her appetite. She could easily devour another


    te.


    Carl pursed his lips and told the waiter to bring another serving of steak for her.


    After two tes of steaks and two sses of wine, Sherry finally filled that ck hole in her stomach. She put the fork and knife


    down and smiled at Carl. “Thank you, Carl. I’m done. | still have something to do, so | have to leave now.”


    Carl propped his cheek on his hand and looked at her. Watching her getting up in a hurry, he smiled. “Sure.”


    Sherry simply grabbed her purse and walked out without saying anything.


    While the candlelights in the room continued to glow romantically, the rose petals blessed the atmosphere with a faint fragrance,


    and the violinist pleasured the guests’ ears with his passionate ying.


    Carl simply stared in the direction Sherry left. A whileter, he regained hisposure andUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    sighed helplessly.


    “Fine. I''ll have all the time | need after the engagement.”


    Aftering out of the restaurant, Sherry drove back to her apartment.


    The car entered the parking lot and parked at her designated parking space. She got out of the car. As she walked to the


    elevator, an adorable voice rang out all of a sudden.


    “Mommy...”


    Sherry turned around.

    She saw the man carrying the girl, standing in the corridor of the entrance.


    It was Caprice and she looked like she had just woken up. The girl looked sleepy as she stared at her mother with her googly


    eyes.


    Sherry strode over to the girl, but before she could get close, she sensed a pair of eyes watching her. The gentle gaze somewhat


    felt enchanting, but Sherry did not want to approach the man.


    She frowned at him.


    John smiled. “Caprice just woke up and wanted to see you, so | brought her here to wait for you.”
