Chapter 1530
Sherry then went inside the house, and Jason followed.
Madam Stockton noticed there was no one else in the front yard, so she came out and walked back to her own
place.
A few steps later, she saw Julie waiting for her at the corner.
Julie smiled and said, “Mother, I heard John came back with Ms. Fowler and Caprice. Are you here to see them?”
Madam Stockton’s expression turned frosty and said with annoyance, “Indeed, I saw
them.”
Julie went up to her and said out of concern, “Then, why are you walking back?”
Madam Stockton did not want to tell Julie that she was almost exposed for watching from afar, so she simply said,
“Caprice was sleeping, so I came back.”
Julie’s eyes flickered. “What about John? What did he and Ms. Fowler say to you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadam Stockton did not even meet him. If Sherry had not badmouthed her in front of John, the mother–and–son
relationship would not be this tense, and she would not need to peek from afar just to have a glance at Caprice.
The thought about Sherry made her mad. She grumbled, “Nothing!”
Julie pursed her lips. She accompanied the lady for a short while and asked meekly,” Mother, did Ms. Fowler say
anything to you?”
“Hmph! She wouldn’t dare!” Madam Stockton’s expression turned frosty. “But I bet she’s bad–mouthing me in front
of John.”
“She’s with John almost every day, and since you are having difficulty communicating with her, I’m sure she’ll say a
thing or two.”
Madam Stockton frowned and her expression turned grim.
Julie watched as the lady’s expression shifted. She continued, “But I believe John won’t simply believe her. He knows
who you really are, and he cares about you.”
Madam Stockton’s brows remained furrowed. Her expression screamed anxiety and frustration.
If John really cared about her, he would have let her see Caprice already. He obviously cared about Sherry more.
Sherry had just married into the family recently, and he was already starting to keep Caprice from her. In time, she
might even lose her position in the house. The thought of it fueled her anxiety.
“Mother, you shouldn’t be thinking about that now,” Julie said.
Madam Stockton glared at her. “Enough. Stop talking!”
The anxiety was driving her mad.
Julie zipped her mouth. She did not react sourly to Madam Stockton’s temper but showed submission instead.
Madam Stockton was instantly drowned by her guilt. She liked her second daughter- in–law, but she felt sorry for
her as well.
Her second son passed away a few days after the wedding. Not only did Julie remain a widow until now, but she
even helped the Stocktons take care of everything in the house. Sherry was not even half as good as her.
Madam Stockton switched to a softer tone and said, “Julie, I’m not mad at you. I’m
mad at that woman.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I understand, Mother. I just hope that you can let it go. Being angry will only harm your health,” Julie said softly.
“Sigh. If only Sherry is half as good as you, I wouldn’t be this angry.”
“Mother…”
“Stop persuading me. I want to be alone for a while.” Her mind was drowning in messy thoughts.
Julie pursed her lips. “Okay.” She stopped following Madam Stockton, and simply
watched from the back.
Madam Stockton continued walking home with her head down. Even without seeing her expression, her walking
posture alone screamed anxiety and frustration.
Julie grinned.
Judging from the progress, Madam Stockton would soon come up with a plan to chase Sherry out of the house.
Back inside Sherry and John’s house, when Sherry entered the living room, John had already placed Caprice in her
room.
Sherry went to the room as well and took off her jacket and shoes. She lay down beside Caprice and said to John
with a smile, “I’ll take care of her. You can go do your own thing.”
John curved his lips. “I have nothing to do now.”
He then unbuttoned his jacket.
