Chapter 120

Sherry grimaced irritably before approaching John. 

John remained seated gracefully on his throne and looked at her like a monarch toying with its subjects. 

Shannon remained seated as well with an unchanging expression although the look in her eyes seemed to have dimmed a little. 

Sherry walked mechanically. She hardly spared so much as a glance at both of them the entire time. She approached the table with a pot of tea in her hand and poured its contents into a teacup, then she took the cup and handed it to John. 

He took the cup and seemed to intentionally brush his fingers against the back of Sherry‘s hands. 

Sherry grimaced and shot a look at him, but he smirked coyly and proceeded to sip his tea candidly. 

She rolled her eyes and silently muttered curses at this detestable man!
