Chapter 1788


    John said soberly, “Yeah”


    With that, Madam Stockton took Queenie and made her leave the room. Queenie was still trying


    desperately to get a word in.


    Sherry was blindsided by what happened.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    She did not expect John to be so supportive, nor did she expect Madam Stockton to be so understanding.


    After Madam Stockton and Queenie left, she turned to John and asked curtly, “You''ve been here long enough Haven''t you begun


    missing home?”


    nchester was his base of operation, and most of his assets were in there as well.


    He had spent a considerable amount of time in Coastrock, so it was not reasonable to expect him to spend much longer here.


    “Peter and the others are keeping things in order for me. Besides, | can manage well enough remotely” He assured Sherry.


    “Don’t worry.”


    She stated with a troubled expression, “My work is in Coastrock, I’m not leaving anytime soon.”


    He smiled, his voice still gentle and reassuring. “I know, just focus on your work and don’t worry about the rest.”


    Sherry tried to put things as bluntly as she could. “I’m saying that you''re free to head back if you have things you need to take


    care of. You don’t need to feel pressured to stay by my side.”


    John smiled. “Alright, but | don’t have anything urgent to attend to.”


    Peter was more than capable of holding down the fort.


    He wanted to be wherever Sherry was. After finally winning her trust again, he was not going to allow himself to be separated


    from her again. He would not allow anyone to swoop in on her in his absence.


    Sherry observed him. He spoke with lucidity and confidence, he had everything under control.


    She gave in. “Alright.”


    Meanwhile, in the living room.


    After Madam Stockton took Queenie out of the bedroom, Queenie immediately protested. “Mom, why wouldn’t you let John take


    Sherry back to nchester?”


    They belonged in nchester.


    Madam Stockton said in a hushed, urgent voice, “Can''t you see that she doesn’t want to go back?”


    Queenie was perplexed by this. “She’s made up with John, hasn’t she? Why wouldn’t she want to go back?”


    “Sager Corporation is based in Coastrock and she’s a senior executive, why would she want to leave? She has a lot of


    commitment and responsibilities here. What do you think will happen to her work if she goes


    back to nceshter?”


    Queenie finally understood, but she continued to grumble. “But our family business is based in nchester. Is John supposed to


    live here with Sherry and Caprice for the rest of his life?”


    “Don’t worry about that, your brother will figure things out.”


    Queenie frowned and still seemed skeptical. “Mom, | don’t want to be so far away from John, Sherry, and


    Caprice all the time”


    Madam Stockton teased her “How old are you? You’re still acting like a child if you feel lonely, go find yourself a partner”


    Queenie pouted “I don’t want to, | don’t n on finding one anytime soon


    Madam Stockton peered at her and expressed somberly, “Queenie, you''re twenty seven


    Queenie was getting rather annoyed, so she turned around and went to sit next to a window


    Madam Stockton sighed weakly


    She had said everything that needed to be said In the past, she would have continued to impose her will on Queenie However,


    everything that happenedtely had softened her, so she decided it was better to not interfere with her children’s affairs


    There was an important meeting that required Sherry to attend in person


    The meetingsted until nearly noon.


    After the meeting. Sherry thought of Madam Stockton and Queenie who were still at her ce She hurried home so she could


    take them somewhere nice for lunch. She stepped into the house and mmediately noticed an assortment of steaming hot dishes


    laid out on the dining table


    John was resting on the couch reading a book. He was dressed casually.


    Queenie was watching cartoons with Caprice.


    Madam Stockton emerged from the kitchen in an apron. She was bncing a bowl of soup in hand


    Sherry was shocked by the disy.


    Upon noticing her, Madam Stockton smiled and motioned to the dining table. “Sherry, you came back just in time! | just finished


    making soup. Come on, have a seat and eat with us.”


    “...Okay.” Sherry was amused by the full courseid out on the dining table.


    Madam Stockton must have seen the entranced look in her eyes. She exined with a shade of embarrassment, “John ordered


    these from a restaurant. The soup is the only thing | made myself.”
