Chapter 1005
Sylvia carried Flint and held Liam’s hand as she followed them inside.
They arrived at the living hall after going through a short corridor.
Tea and snacks were prepared on the tea table.
Odell and John went to the couch and sat opposite each other.
Sylvia and the kids sat beside Odell, while Madam Stockton, Queenie, and Julie sat on the other end.
Odell and John talked about work.
Sylvia looked around the place. She believed it was Madam Stockton’s place judging from the retro designs and
decorations.
There were even two middle-aged maids outside the door.
Sherry should be at her usual place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Sylvia was wondering if Sherry had breakfast, Flint
suddenly crawled out of her arms.
Sylvia turned to the boy and saw him crawling toward the end of the couch.
The boy crawled toward Queenie, who was the nearest, and looked up at her. Then he gurgled happily.
Queenie did not expect the baby’s interest and she was awestruck by his adorable smile and voice.
Madam Stockton and Julie were beside her and the baby’s gurgle caught their attention.
Madam Stockton’s stern expression was immediately replaced by a kind smile. “Hey little guy, do you want a hug?”
Flint widened his eyes at her and murmured, “Grandma…”
Madam Stockton’s heart was melted by Flint’s adorable voice. She wore a gentle and caring expression and said,
“Come here, you adorable thing.”
Flint raised his tiny hands at her.
Madam Stockton carried the boy into her arms and held him like a precious treasure.
Sylvia’s gaze shifted. At the same time, she held Isabel from going over. She said in a small voice, “Grandma
Stockton will take care of Flint. Don’t worry.”
Isabel grumbled. “The boy really knows how to win hearts.”
Sylvia chuckled.
Flint was not afraid of strangers. He welcomed anyone who wanted to hug him.
Isabel could not stay idle. She snuck to Queenie’s side and widened her innocent eyes at her.
Maybe because she was bored or deemed Queenie a bulliable target, she asked, “Ms. Lion, can I touch your hair?”
Annoyed, Queenie glared at Isabel. “Who are you calling Ms. Lion, kid?”
“You, pretty girl,” Isabel said adorably.
Queenie’s annoyed expression froze. She did not expect the naughty girl to call her pretty after teasing her.
She also found the girl to have beautiful eyes.
Before Queenie could say a word, Isabel continued, “Can I touch your hair, Ms. Pretty Lion?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQueenie’s gaze changed. She turned away arrogantly and feigned ignorance at the girl. “You can only touch once
and don’t call me Ms. Pretty Lion.”
“Okay, Little Lion.”
“Don’t call me Little Lion!” Queenie turned to her immediately.
Isabel played with a lock of her hair. “Okay, Big Lion.”
Sylvia chuckled uncontrollably.
Her chuckles caught Flint’s attention and he, too, chuckled happily in Madam Stockton’s arms.
The boy’s adorable smile amused Madam Stockton. She did not even care about Isabel calling Queenie a lion
because of her blonde hair.
Odell and John were distracted from their work-related chat. They turned to the ladies and saw a heartwarming
scene. It put a warm smile on their faces.
Julie noticed John looking at her, so she feigned a smile and pretended that she was teasing Flint with Madam
Stockton.
