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.” Odell‘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 you 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 daughter again in the future.
A week had passed, but there was still no news from Sherry. He was probably still trying to find out some 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 after you left, but her phone was switched off. She hasn‘t contacted me until now, so I don‘t know where she 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 completely 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, ignoring 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.”
Sherry was silent for a few seconds before replying, “I can‘t win against John now, so I‘ll leave Caprice with him for now. Let‘s talk about this next time when we have the chance.”
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 not in Westchester now.“,
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.
