Chapter 1185
Punishment?
No meal for the day again?
Sherry suddenly remembered she had not eaten breakfast.
The hunger calmed her annoyance and steered her to go
1. in.
Inside the spacious and luxurious living room, both John and Shannon were done with breakfast and were sitting on
the couch.
John was comfortably sitting on the single couch with his usual golden–framed glasses, his white shirt, and his long
pants. His clean and handsome features complemented his elegant sitting posture , making him look like a prince.
Shannon, in her slim–fit dress, perched beside him.
They turned to the entrance when Sherry came in.
John remained nonchalant, but there was a hint of mischievous delight in his eyes when he saw Sherry reluctantly
walk in in the maid uniform.
Shannon smiled although her expression was void of true delight or happiness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Good morning, Sherry. Have you eaten?”
Sherry answered, “No I have not. Is there anything to eat here?”
Shannon was silenced by the question. An unusual expression flashed across her face, and she only recovered to
her usual composure two seconds later.” Unfortunately , we just finished breakfast , and the rest were taken away
by the maids.”
In short, there was nothing left for Sherry.
Sherry refused to ponder on Shannon‘s words. She switched her attention to the snacks on the tea table.“ Well,
there are some snacks.”
Shannon‘s expression froze. “Sherry, those are for John to go with his tea. Why don‘t you go get something else?”
“Is there something else here? Where?”
Shannon glared at her, warning her to stop the insubordination.
Sherry tightened her lips awkwardly. After all, it was Shannon who had asked if she had breakfast.
John was not interested in their conversation. He laid back lazily and only spoke when Shannon fell into an awkward
silence, “Sherry, pour me a cup of tea. If you amuse me, I‘ll spare you a few pieces.”
Sherry wore a professional smile immediately.” Alrighty!”
She attentively went over, bent down, and refilled his cup with tea.
“That‘s not how you refill tea!” warned the maid beside Shannon.
Sherry looked at her, and so did John.
The cold gaze scared the maid who stepped back and lowered her head.
Shannon immediately scolded her, “Celine, how dare you talk to my sister like that?” Celine was shaken. She
nervously said, “I‘m sorry, Madam! I didn‘t mean it. I just wanted to point out that she‘s not pouring in the right
position.” “You are in no position to do that! Get out!”
Celine immediately left the room.
Shannon glanced at John and noticed that he had recovered his composure. She smiled and said, “I‘m sorry, John. I
didn‘t teach her well.” John smiled. “It‘s okay. She‘s doing it to your sister, not me.”
He then looked at Sherry. Shannon‘s expression changed. She, too, looked at Sherry and said, “I‘m sorry, Sherry.
Celine just graduated from home economics school. She‘s still young, so don‘t be mad at her.”
Sherry was holding the teapot when she heard Shannon. She smiled. “Come on, sis, do I look like someone that will
get mad over that?”
Shannon‘s expression froze for a moment before she forced a smile. “Of course, you‘re not.”
Sherry refilled the tea and put it in front of herself before she stood up.
The air went still for a moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShannon was stunned while John narrowed his eyes. They were looking at the cup of tea that was in front of Sherry
and further away from John. Did Sherry just hint at John to reach out to the cup of tea himself?
In other words, she was emphasizing Sherry‘s identity as a maid.
Sherry sighed. ‘Fine. It‘s just tea anyway.‘ She bent over, took the cup of tea, and brought it to John.
John reached out. Sherry passed the cup of tea to him but accidentally touched his finger in the process.
Sherry frowned and immediately retracted her hand.
Meanwhile, John took a sip of tea nonchalantly. He smiled at Shannon. “Shannon, Mother and Julie are attending an
event later. Why don‘t you tag along and accompany them?” Shannon‘s eyes glimmered.
Sending her to a social event with Madam Stockton and Julie was another way to promote her status as the new
Mrs. Stockton, but the thought of Sherry staying back with him rushed to her mind and killed the glimmer in her
eyes.

She said, “John, are you staying home today? Why don‘t I accompany you instead? I‘ll go next time.”
“I‘m going to work later,” John replied with a smile. He added, “The event is happening soon, so go to Mom‘s place
and see what you can do to help.” “Okay, I‘ll go there right away,” Shannon reluctantly said before she got up. She
glanced at Sherry before leaving
