Chapter 1022
Sylvia had to bathe Isabel many times.
Not only did the girl have mud in her hair, but it had gotten in her ears too.
Sylvia only managed to get her clean after bathing her for over an hour.
Finally clean, the little girl was now fair with a hint of rosiness.
The clothing that John had prepared for her was a puffy pink dress. Isabel transformed into a chubby lit
tle princess after putting it on.
However, she sighed when looking at her reflection in the mirror. “Ah, how childish.”
Sylvia felt a lump in her throat. She said, “Mommy thinks it looks nice. Besides, this was
specially prepared by Uncle John for you. You can‘t dislike it. It’s impolite. Do you understand?”
The little girl was cute and should be doted on. However, she could not be allowed
to become overly spoiled.
Nevertheless, it was Sylvia‘s first time lecturing Isabel ever since she had lost her memory.
Sylvia felt nervous after speaking.
Surprisingly, Isabel pressed her lips together. Not only was she not behaving
defiantly, but she also became bashful.
“I know. It‘s just that I think that this is clothing that only preschoolers wear. I don‘t dislike it. Don‘t be an
gry, Mommy.” After speaking, she turned to hug Sylvia.
Sylvia felt a warmth all over her body. She patted Isabel‘s head
and said softly, “It‘s good that you know that. I‘m not angry.”
Isabel immediately raised her chubby face and chuckled.
Sylvia smiled too. Then, she took Isabel out to meet Sherry.
They took the shuttle bus and not long after, they arrived at the dinner spot.
The night was silent, and the lights were bright.
The starry sky above their heads and the night view around them were amazing.
Sylvia was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery once she arrived. She even had the urge to draw.
However, this was not the time to draw so she quickly suppressed that urge.
They walked along the stairs and reached the field that was at the top.
Liam was sitting on the topmost step of the flight of stairs. When he saw them coming, he raised his fac
e and looked toward them with his big, round eyes.
“Hmph! Baddie brother!” Isabel was still holding a grudge over what had happened before so she
put her hands on her hips and
shouted at Liam. Then, she ran toward Odell and John.
Liam‘s face remained emotionless, obviously not taking Isabel‘s words to heart.
When Sylvia reached his side, he stood up.
She held Liam‘s hand and walked over to the barbeque grill with Sherry.
Isabel was already seated on the chair beside Odell.
She must have been hungry as she was already eating a piece of cake.
Odell and John looked up when they saw the women walking over.
Odell looked at Sylvia and smiled at her.
Sylvia pressed her lips together. She then led Liam to sit down on the other side of Odell.
There were only four seats on their side of the table, so it was instantly filled.
Sherry had no choice but to sit beside John.
At that moment, a waiter came to them and asked John respectfully, “Master
Stockton, has everyone arrived for your table?”
John smiled. “Yes, you may start now.”
“Alright.”
The waiter informed the chef in charge of the barbeque. Next, he
–

placed drinks and snacks on the table with the other waiters.
Soon, all sorts of barbequed meat were also placed on the dining table.
Isabel enjoyed the food the most.
Sylvia‘s appetite was also extremely good, probably due to the beautiful
scenery around her. She did not stop eating from the moment the barbequed meat was served.
Sherry, who was sitting opposite her, had an even better appetite and she ate even more than Sylvia.
Halfway through the meal, John suddenly said, “Eat slower. Be careful that you don‘t choke.”
Sylvia was stunned.
John was smiling as he talked to Sherry with a very gentle expression on his face.
