Chapter 1424

The next day, the sky was clear.

By the time John woke up, his room was already basked in sunlight. It must be partially because it took him a while

to fall asleep last night.

Caprice even woke up before him.

Although she was not rummaging around wildly, she did manage to wake John up with the movements she made,

shuffling around on the bed.

She was dressed in white like an angel and was busy playing nurse, giving her dolls injections one after another.

John found himself surrounded by her stuffed dolls laid out across the bed.

Upon noticing John waking up, her eyes shone with brightness. She remarked in an adorably serious voice, ” Wait a

moment, Daddy, it will be your turn soon.”

With that, she took her toy syringe and jabbed it into one of the monkey dolls on the bed.

John smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

He slowly sat up.

He waited until Caprice studiously poked him with the

toy syringe before finally getting out of bed.

He reached for the phone on the nightstand.

There were some unopened messages, mostly from Peter and some of his other employees. Their contents were

work–related as usual.

He briefly went through them before selecting Sherry’s contact.

He had removed her from the blacklist last night but the last exchange between them displayed on the phone was

still from several days ago. It was when she voiced her grievances at him after he left her all alone on the roadside

amid the freezing cold.

He frowned.

Perhaps what he had said to her had stung a little too much? Was this why she had stopped trying to see Caprice

and would not text him again?

The day passed in the blink of an eye.

Evening.

There was a sudden knock at the door. Before John could even respond, Caprice sprang toward the door and threw

it open, her enthusiastic cry immediately followed after, Hello Aunt Julie.”

Julie greeted her with a warm smile, then she turned to

John. “John, the party is about to start. Mom and Queenie are ready, would you like to come with us?”

She said while slowly approaching John.

Clad inside a silky long dress that dragged all the way to her ankles, she resembled a fairy. The skirt was inlaid with

pieces of glittering diamonds that reflected the ceiling lights and dazzled with every step she took.

Her hair was curled and draped over her shoulders, like a woman who had stepped out of a painting. She smiled

politely as she headed toward the man sitting at his desk.

John swiped a look at her. “I still have to deal with

something, you girls can go first. I’ll bring Caprice with me later.”

Julie seemed slightly dejected by this but did not let it show. “Alright.”

She turned and prepared to leave.

“Hold on,” John called after her suddenly.

Julie turned around expectantly, not concealing her eagerness with a smile. “Is there something I can do for you?”

John said with a faint smile, “You look good.”

He spoke with an unusual gentleness in his voice. His face seemed to radiate a warm glow as he said this, a soft

crease formed along the edge of his eyes as he delivered

the unexpected compliment.

Julie was completely caught off guard, her cheeks immediately flushed red before she knew it. She bowed her head

courteously and thanked John, “Thank you for the compliment.”

John observed how flustered she had become and

remarked, “Julie, you’re still so young. You should take the time to dress up more in the future.“.

Put in some effort in presenting herself better so that she may attract some potential suitors, that way she would

not have to remain chained inside the house for the rest

‘of her life.

Julie kept her head bowed so John would not see the pink

shade washed over her cheeks as well as the excitement in her eyes. “I got it, thank you again for the

compliment.”

“Yeah, go on, now.”

Julie did not linger a moment longer in the room and quickly left.

After she left, Caprice performed her duties as a little

assistant and went to the door to close it.

Then she went to John’s side.

John took her into his arms.

He put her on his lap and directed his attention back to

the documents on the computer.

He only left for the party after he had sorted everything out.

Glanchester Hotel.

The largest ballroom was located on the first floor. The venue was designed with transparent floor–to–ceiling

windows on three sides, providing a wonderful night view of the city.
