Chapter 1282
Flint pouted.
Odell took him back into his arms and looked at John indifferently. “Flint isn‘t that big either. They
can play together even now.” John said with a
smile, “Flint can already walk, but my Caprice can‘t even babble yet.”
However, when he remembered his purpose of coming over
today, he held Caprice and walked over to Odell. “I‘ll let Flint look at her, but I won‘t let him
touch her. My Caprice doesn‘t like anyone else other than me touching her. Otherwise, she will cry.” Od
ell‘s expression softened slightly as he hummed. With that, he held down both of Flint‘s hands.
The little boy could only stretch his neck to look at Caprice . He stared at her while giggling, and it was
not long before saliva dribbled out from the corners of his mouth.
John immediately held Caprice and went to the sofa to sit down.
With pursed lips, Odell raised his hand to
wipe Flint‘s drool and sat down too. He held Flint with one arm
and asked directly, “What are you doing here?”
John said with a smile, “It‘s nothing important. I just wanted to bring Caprice over for a little stroll with y
ou guys.” After listening to this, Odell looked at Sylvia. Sylvia was not
stupid. She could vaguely guess the purpose of his visit. When he left a week ago, he had asked her to
convey to Sherry that she should go to Glanchester within a week, or else, she would never see her da
ughter again in the future.
A week had passed, but there was still no news from Sherry. He was probably still trying to find out som
e good news about her.
Although threats left his lips, unexpectedly, his body language seemed to convey honesty.
Sylvia did not want to beat around the bush and said bluntly, “I sent a message to Sherry last week afte
r you left, but her phone was switched off. She hasn‘t contacted me until now, so I don‘t know where sh
e is either.”
She was speaking the truth. Recently, in addition to staying at home with Madam Carter, she had been
trying to find Sherry. However, she had no idea where her friend was hiding. There was no
news of her at all. John‘s brows wrinkled . The smile that had been on his face just a moment ago com
pletely darkened. The atmosphere in the living room also grew gloomy.
Suddenly, Sylvia‘s phone rang. The first thing she saw when she took it out was the
caller ID: Sherry Fowler. She
was startled and subconsciously looked at John. John noticed her gaze and instantly stared at her, igno
ring Flint who had just crawled to his side.
Sylvia brought the phone to her ear.
Sherry‘s voice came from the phone. “Syl, I‘m so sorry. I didn‘t mean to disappear. I‘m fine
now, so don‘t worry about me.”
“Where are you now?” Sylvia asked directly.
Sherry lowered her voice, perhaps out of guilt. “I left Westchester. I‘m somewhere else now.”
Sylvia‘s eyes flickered, and she pressed the speaker option and said,
“I didn‘t catch that. Could you say that again?”
Sherry repeated, “I‘m somewhere else now. Don‘t worry about me. I‘m fine.”
Her voice was amplified by the speaker, so everyone in the living room could hear her. John, who was
holding his daughter , frowned. His eyes were still fixed on Sylvia‘s phone.
Sylvia asked, “Did you see the message I sent you?”
“Yeah, I saw it four days ago, and then I left Westchester that night.” Sherry‘s tone was calm and even
contained hints of disappointment and frustration. “Syl, thank you for
taking care of me for so long. I‘ll come back to look for you when I become successful in the future. I ha
ve something to do now, so I have to go now. Bye.” Whoosh!
John stood up and rushed to Sylvia in an instant.
Sylvia knew that
he wanted to snatch the phone, so she rushed to ask Sherry, “What about Caprice ? Aren‘t you coming
to see her?”
Sherry was silent for a few seconds before replying, “I can‘t win against John now, so I‘ll leave Caprice w
Then, she hung up before Sylvia could say anything.
The entire living room plunged into silence.
Sylvia‘s eyes flickered. She looked at John and said in a low voice, “You heard that, didn‘t you? She‘s no
John pursed his lips coldly. His usually gentle and elegant face was terribly gloomy.
No one knew if Caprice was scared by his expression or felt abandoned by
her mother, but she suddenly burst
into a piercing wail in John‘s arms.
