Chapter 959
Sylvia pouted. “Oh.”
Then, she reluctantly took a sip of hot water.
Not far away, John and Sherry watched their interaction and were both silent for a moment.
Dinner was over.
Odell held Sylvia‘s hand while John took Sherry‘s as they walked out of the restaurant together.
The wind outside at night was cold.
After coming out, they walked along the
roadside. Sylvia wanted to walk with Sherry, but Odell gripped her hand.
Sherry was also in John‘s grip
and obviously could not break free. Sylvia could only turn her head to look at Sherry from time to time.
Not long after that, John suddenly said, “Master Carter, I heard that Mrs. Carter and you
are going back tomorrow, right?”
Odell replied, “Yeah.”
“What time are you leaving?”
“10 a.m.”
“What bad timing. I have an important meeting to preside over at that time, so I can‘t come
to see you off. I‘ll ask Peter to see
you off.”
“It‘s fine. There‘s no need to bother Peter.”
“That
won‘t do. Not only is this our first time working together, but your wife is also best friends with my girlfrie
nd.”
“Why don‘t you let Sherry see us off?” Sylvia turned her head to look at him when she finished speakin
g.
John‘s smile froze for a moment.
The air also went deathly silent.
Then, he smiled again. With his arm still around Sherry, he looked at Sylvia and said with a smile, “It se
ems that Mrs. Carter is very reluctant to part with Sherry. If you‘re free in the future, you‘re always welc
ome to look for her.”
Sylvia frowned.
‘This guy‘s ability to change the subject is quite sharp.‘
She added, “Then, can you let Sherry see us,”
Before she could say the word “off“, she was dragged into Odell‘s arms. He gave her a look
that told her to stop talking and said, “Sherry is Master Stockton‘s girlfriend. It‘s not appropriate for her
to see us off.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. “Oh.”
After walking for a while, John said that it was getting late and they had to go back, so Odell nodded.
The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Sylvia looked at Sherry worriedly before being dragged away by
Odell.
Seeing Sherry being swept away by John, she frowned and asked in confusion, “Why didn‘t you let
Sherry see us off?”
Odell looked at her. His deep eyes saw right through her thoughts. “You want her to come with us, don‘t
you?”
“Yeah.”
“If you can think of it, then John can too.”
“Well, how am I going to save Sherry?”
Odell raised his hand and touched her head, saying, “You don‘t have to do anything. Be good and come
Sylvia frowned. “What about Sherry? Are we going to just leave her?”
“John will take care of her.”
After saying that, he held her hand and continued to walk forward.
Sylvia‘s heart was stifled, and she immediately stopped in her tracks. Odell
had no choice but to stop and look down at her.
