Chapter 1261

Odell wore a calm expression on his handsome face. He looked at John brazenly without a hint of avoidance. Sylvia was slightly caught off guard. If she had not known better, she would have fallen for Odell’s act. John’s sincerity faded upon hearing his words but only for a moment. He wore his signature smile again and said, “She does love traveling, but I believe Mrs. Carter is her best friend, and as far as I know, she will be back soon. If you have any news about her, please do let me know. Otherwise, it’s starting to get annoying and awkward for me to keep bothering you two.” Odell curled his lips. “Alright. If we have anything about her, we’ll let you know firsthand.” Sylvia feigned a smile. She was certain that John was lying when he said he just wanted to see Sherry from afar. What an actor! What needed to be said had been said. Therefore, John nodded and got up to the guest room before Sylvia and Odell returned to their room. After closing the bedroom door, Sylvia wa

Three months went by in the blink of an eye. John would visit once every week. Sylvia was deeply annoyed at first, but as time went by, she was able to completely ignore the man. Flint was the only exception because he seemed to like the man. He would jump into John’s arms whenever he came by. In fact, the little boy would scuttle out of the door when he heard John’s car at the gate. The moment he saw John, he would gurgle, “Uncle, Uncle…” John squatted down and carried the little guy into his arms so that Flint nuzzled against his cheek. John pinched the little guy’s cheek with a smile as he walked inside. The driver followed him inside with a load of presents. He walked to Sylvia and smiled. “Mrs. Carter, good afternoon.” Sylvia responded with a cold glare and nothing else. She tapped Isabel and Liam’s shoulders, signaling them to greet him instead. Liam said, “Hello, Uncle John.” Isabel scoffed and reluctantly greeted him. “Uncle John.” John patted their heads. “He

“Life is simple and good with a good wife and kids. It’s simple and lively.” Odell raised his brows, expressing his satisfaction and gratitude for the life he currently had. John smiled. “I envy you.” Odell smiled. “Everyone has their own life, and maybe I am destined to be happy in this life with the company of my family.” “I see…” Ding! The ringtone of a phone suddenly chimed, and the two of them turned to Sylvia together. After she pulled the phone out from her pocket and saw the caller ID, she unconsciously looked toward Odell and John. Odell’s gaze shifted, while John caught the little interaction and narrowed his eyes. Sylvia answered the call while holding Flint with one hand. “What’s wrong, Aunt Wanda?” Aunt Wanda said something on the phone that made her knit her brows together and a nervous expression settled on her face.However, Sylvia swiftly suppressed her nervousness when she sensed John’s keen gaze. She feigned a calm tone and said, “Go over with Ben fi

Chapter 1264

As John smiled, Odell calmly locked eyes with him. The tense situation only lasted for a few seconds before they indulged in their own cups of tea. …Sylvia got into the car and was on the way out of the Carters' residence. Aunt Wanda had informed her earlier that Sherry’s water just broke, so they should already be at the hospital, ready to deliver. As the nervousness occupied her thoughts, she missed the text from Odell. When the car drove past a set of traffic lights, and they were only ten minutes away from the hospital, Sylvia’s phone rang. It was Aunt Wanda. She answered the phone immediately. “Aunt Wanda, how’re things?” “Ms. Fowler is in the delivery room, and she’s been wanting to see you. The doctors also urge her family to be here. Are you on your way?” Sylvia answered, “I’m almost at the hospital. Tell her to hold on, and I’ll be right there.” “Alright, I’ll convey the message.” Right when Sylvia hung up the phone, she suddenly saw the text from Odell.

Chapter 1265

The mother cried louder and harder, even begging to stop the delivery process. However, her husband and mother continued to soothe her with sweet and calming words. The man and the elderly lady were comforting another woman, yet Sherry felt like those words were for her. It soothed her anxiety and pain, but it did not stop her tears from pouring out. Matthew and Janine’s faces flashed in her mind for some reason. She believed that her parents were more worried about Shannon being in prison than her giving birth. Even if they knew she was pregnant, they would only call her a shameless woman. The contractions continued to torment her. She took a deep breath and placed her hand on her belly. She could feel the baby coming out, but the contractions seemed to be a little more violent than what other pregnant women went through. Could the baby know the father was not around, hence it was throwing a tantrum during delivery? Tears continued to stream out of her eyes. Sherry start

Odell lifted the cup and took a sip of tea without a word. John frowned intently and asked, “Has something happened to Sherry?” “I don’t know," Odell said without any change in his expression John's eyes gleamed with iciness for a brief instant. He remarked with a soft chuckle, “Master Carter, I believe there are many more opportunities for us to work together in the future. You, of all people, should know that since you are a successful businessman just like me.” Odell remained silent. John adjusted his approach and stated, "I'm not going to force you to tell me where Sherry is. All I want to know is how she’s doing currently, and if something bad has happened to her. Could you tell me that at least?” Odell peered into his eyes, "She's fine. Nothing’s going to happen to her.” “Is that so?” John asked with a marked squint, “Then, why did Mrs. Carter look so frantic when she rushed out back then?” “This is all I can tell you.” Odell set down the cup of tea with the

"Sure." Sylvia handed the baby to her with a smile, then she took Isabel with her and left. After they left, Sherry lifted her shirt and put the baby to her body. The baby stopped crying after that. Sherry beheld the baby’s pink and rosy cheeks and how satisfied she looked. Instantly, she smiled tenderly at the beautiful sight. … Sylvia and Isabel stayed there until past noon. She was going to stay here for two more days, but Sherry insisted on her hiding again. She said that the obstetric nurses could take care of her well enough. With that, Sylvia left with Isabel, deciding that she would come to visit Sherry again the next morning. After half an hour’s drive, the car swerved into a familiar district and parked in front of the house. Sylvia and Isabel stepped out of the car and walked into the house hand in hand. To her surprise, John was still there. The pair of father and son, Odell and Liam, were both reading in the living room. John was sitting on the othe

Chapter 1268

It was obvious that John had not given up on Sherry. From that day onward, Sylvia always made sure to instruct Jacob to take another route every time she went to Sherry. She took special care to avoid heading down the route where she saw John’s men last time. The days passed by without trouble. Eventually, Sherry was discharged from the hospital and went to a confinement center near the hospital. One particular morning, Sylvia took a car to the confinement center as usual. However, the traffic was significantly worse today since there was a newly opened shopping mall in the area. There were a lot of cars on the road and traffic was heavy. They were only two hundred meters away from the confinement center, and traffic was at a standstill. After waiting more than ten minutes without moving even an inch, she lost her patience and decided that it would be easier to get out of the car and walk to the confinement center. She stepped out of the car with a set of new clothes

Chapter 1269

"Understood.” … Several days later, in the confinement center at Westchester, it was slightly past noon, the perfect time for a nap. Sherry had just fed Caprice and then taken a quick nap with her. For some reason, she suddenly woke with fright after a very brief nap, and she found herself drenched in sweat when she woke. She sat up and anxiously looked at her daughter, Caprice. The adorable girl was sleeping soundly, her eyes zipped into two lines, and she seemed perfectly at peace. Sherry breathed a sigh of relief and gently took Caprice into her arms. The postpartum nurse, who was tasked by Sylvia to look after Sherry, noticed this and quickly approached Sherry and asked in concern, "Miss Sherry, is everything okay? Did you have a nightmare?” "No, I don't know what that was about either. Maybe I just had too much to eat today," Sherry remarked with a smile and told the nurse, “Why don’t you go get some rest as well? I’ll take care of Caprice myself.” “Alri

"Probably not. Look after the kids and make sure they sleep early. You should sleep early as well.” Odell pulled a face and stayed silent. Sylvia bent over and planted a kiss on his lips, then she asked, “Did you hear me?” He smiled softly. “I got it. Don't worry." She then exchanged a few words with the children before heading out. She had only just left the house when Odell turned to the children and commanded sternly, "Go back to your room." Isabel pouted and complained, "It's only eight o'clock!” It was nowhere near bedtime yet. Odell approached her and effortlessly picked her up in one hand, then he carried Flint, who was rolling around on the floor. At last, he turned to Liam and asked in an authoritative voice, "Liam?" Liam closed the book he was reading. “Yeah.” With that, all three children were escorted into their room. After shutting the door, he instructed Aunt Tonya, "Aunt Tonya, I have something I need to deal with, so I’ll leave the child
