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
- 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.
“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!”
Shannon 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
