Chapter 1006
There was an air of coziness in the living room.
Sylvia could not sit still for long as she needed to look for Sherry.
Grabbing the paper bag with food inside from Odell, Sylvia got on her feet.
All eyes turned to her.
Sylvia looked at Odell and John. “Carry on with your conversation. I’m going to check on Sherry.”
Despite the emotions behind his eyes, John let out a smile. “Be my guest, Mrs. Carter.”
Odell returned her a smile. “Go on.”
Julie abruptly asked, “Mrs. Carter, do you need me to come along?”
“It’s okay. I know the way. I can go there myself.” She kept her eyes on Flint and Isabel while replying.
Flint was being his cute self in Madam Stockton’s arms. Detecting Sylvia’s gaze, Madam Stockton’s face fell as she
clung onto Flint with reluctance to let go.
Isabel was coiling Queenie’s hair around her finger, engrossed in styling her hair.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQueenie shifted away from Sylvia’s gaze as she sat still for Isabel to do her up.
Letting out a helpless grin, Sylvia threw a question to Liam.” Liam, do you want to go with me?”
Isabel was too much into Queenie’s hair while Madam Stockton clearly had a hard time parting with Flint. They
should be fine here since Odell was around. By the way Liam was clutching onto his book, it seemed he was bored.
She might as well bring him out for a stroll.
Liam’s eyes lit up. “Yeah.”
He got up and held Sylvia’s extending hand.
Hand-in-hand, Sylvia took off with Liam.
With Liam and her gone, Madam Stockton and Queenie heaved relief altogether.
“Mommy, are you staying here this week?” Liam blurted out the question in his mind not too far along the walk.
Sylvia replied, “Yes, but it’s my first time here at this compound. I normally hang around with Sherry in the guest
room ahead.”
“Are the people here nice to you?” The boy looked up and stared into her eyes.
Sylvia met his eyes as her mind flashed back to the day Odell took Liam from her when Odell kicked her out of the
house.
The knuckle-sized face in her memory had now grown into distinctive features. The kid, who only cried as he was
taken away back then, was now looking out for her.
Feeling loved, Sylvie softly responded, “Mr. Stockton is your daddy’s partner in business. No one would try to pick on
me here. They have been polite to me.”
Liam pursed his lips without pursuing further questions.
Sylvia took Liam by the hand and quickly arrived at Sherry’s space.
Hiding under the shade of a thick yellowwood tree, Sherry sprawled over the table and worked on her needlepoint.
She appeared lifeless and sluggish.
Sylvia quickened her pace toward Sherry.
Picking up on footsteps , Sherry lifted her chin and saw Sylvia together with Liam. They were family in her eyes.
“Syl, what a nice surprise.”
She bolted toward Liam.
Liam courteously greeted Sherry, “Good morning, Aunt Sherry.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry studied his handsome and adorable face while cheekily asking, “Liam dear, can I have a hug?”
Furrowing his brows, Liam hesitated for a moment before uttering, “Alright.”
Sherry pulled him into her arms and violated his face with relentless kisses.
It was too late for Sylvia to stop her.
Unsurprisingly, Liam asked the magic question the moment Sherry set him free. “Where’s the loo?”
Thinking he needed to take a leak, Sherry pointed in a direction with a smile. “That way.”
Liam swiftly made his way there.
Sylvia then queried Sherry, “Have you had breakfast?”
Sherry slumped over as if her soul left her. “D*mn John gave me half a bun.”
Sylvia immediately passed over the paper bag with food in it.” Here you go. Eat it while it’s hot.”
With a glowing expression, Sherry took the paper bag and fished out the food to eat. Despite having food in her
mouth, Sherry had to ask, “Syl, why did Liam come along?”
