Chapter 1742


    The day passed while Sherry buried herself in work.


    At dusk, Sherry walked out of the office and saw her white car parked beside the road.


    The window was wound down and Caprice popped her head out, calling her adorably, “Mommy...”


    The sweet expression felt warmer than the breeze.


    Sherry hastened her steps to the car. She got in, hugged the girl in her arms, and kissed her on the


    cheek.


    Caprice giggled as she kissed her mother back. They yed around for a while before Sherry released the girl. She then


    switched her attention to the driver’s seat. “Why aren''t you driving?”


    John smiled and looked at her through the rear mirror. “I’m waiting for your order.”


    Sherry gulped. “Drive.”


    John started the car and drove, but not in the direction of her apartment.


    Sherry asked, “Where are you going?”


    He said, “Caprice wants to have something good to eat. | booked a restaurant. We''ll be there in twenty minutes.”


    Sherry frowned.


    “I''ve only booked a table. | didn’t pay for it yet,” he added.


    Sherry’s brows eased. “If Caprice wants to eat nice food, let’s


    go.”


    Even though their rtionship was not as tense as before, it did not mean that she had forgiven him or epted him. She would


    never eat the food that he bought.


    Sherry then looked outside the window with Caprice.


    John nced at her through the rear window. His lips pursed in silence.


    Less than twenty minutester, they arrived at the restaurant that was famous for seafood.


    John had booked the best room on the second floor.


    Sherry carried Caprice and followed John and the waiter to the room. She was stunned when she saw the ce.


    There were only three of them dining in, and there were multiple empty seats on the first floor that could fit a family of four. The


    man just had to choose the best room with the most space. The minimum spend to dine in the room was ten thousand.


    Although Sherry was no longer living under the poverty line, she was still a working adult. Her purse was already bleeding before


    she even sat down. Her chest tightened as she red at him.


    John looked confused. “What’s wrong? Something wrong with your eyes?”


    Two waiters came by with concerned looks.


    Sherry bit the bullet and said, “Caprice is hungry. Let''s just eat.”


    The waiters folded the round table smaller to fit the family of three.


    Sherry ced Caprice in the baby chair and sat down beside her; John sat opposite her.


    The waiter gave them a menu each. Sherry and Caprice went through the menu together.


    When she saw the price listed on the menu, she gasped. The cheapest dish on the menu cost two thousand.


    Caprice had no concept of money. She pointed at the pictures that captured her attention and said, “I want this, this, this, and


    this!”


    The waiter wrote down the order one by one.


    Sherry felt like her soul had left her body. She pursed her lip and stayed quiet.


    Caprice flipped to thest page and pointed at a beautiful-looking dessert. “This!”


    The waiter smiled brightly. “Alright. Is there anything else?”


    Caprice said, “Nothing else for me.”


    The waiter looked at Sherry.


    Sherry forced a stiff smile on her face. “Me too.”


    Caprice had ordered half of the menu, so there was no reason for her to order any more.


    The waiter then turned to John.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    John nced at Sherry as the closed the menu in his hands. “Three sses of fruit juice please.”


    “Alright. Please wait while the kitchen prepares your order.”


    The waiter kept the menus and left.


    John looked at Sherry.
