Chapter 1013
Odell glanced at Flint in John’s arms.
The little guy was tugging and pulling on John’s collar, the same kind of stuff Flint would do when he was bored.
There was no hint of the separation anxiety suggested by John.
Odell pursed his lips. “Sure.”
It was still a good idea for John to hold Flint so that the baby did not come in between him and Sylvia.
The estate was huge. They got out of the car, only for the resort host to pick them up on a shuttle bus.
While on their way in, the host went on and on about the place.
As John stated, the place boasted fantastic views and first class recreational facilities.
There was a massive playground just for the kids.
The spa, sauna, steam baths, and so on were catered to the adults. It was everything Sylvia could think of and
more.
The shuttle bus first arrived at the children’s zone.
Sylvia’s eyes lit up at architecture that could only exist in fairytales.

The moment Liam stepped off the bus, Isabel dragged him into

the children’s zone.
Despite Sylvia’s intention to join them, Odell held her back.
She scowled at him.
He faintly uttered, “Let them have some fun. Ben and Jacob will watch them.”
Ben and Jacob had been tagging along all the while. They were presently behind Isabel and Liam.
John added, “Mrs. Carter, they take security measures seriously here. You can relax. The young ones are in safe
hands.”
Sylvia pursed her lips.
She wanted to keep a distance from Odell, but the kids took off afar. What more could she say now that John put it
that way?
The shuttle bus drove along a winding path.
It did not take long before the host turned his head back toward the passengers. The host uttered with a smile, “Mr.
Stockton, Master Carter, and misuses, the scenic spot is up ahead. I should leave you to enjoy the view.”
“I’m not his wife,” Sherry blurted.
Taken aback, the host moved his gaze toward John.
John glanced at Sherry before chuckling . “She’s not my wife. Thank you, Mr. Powell. You can go about your
business.” “Um… Alright, Mr. Stockton.” Hitting the brakes, the host got off the bus and went on his way.
John looked back at Odell and Sylvia. “Master Carter, where would you like your first stop?”
Odell remarked, “It’s quite a view here. We should split up.” The change in John’s expression nearly went amiss.
“Sure. Exactly my thoughts.”
He then hopped off the shuttle bus while cuddling Flint.
Sherry chased after John right away. “Why are you still holding Flint? Give me him!”
Giving Sherry the cold shoulder, John had no plans to return Flint to Odell and Sylvia either. He traveled far in no
time.
Sylvia furrowed her brows and wanted to catch up with the runaway, but the nearby man grabbed her.
Having put up with his antics thus far, Sylva shouted at the man, “Let me go, Odell!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell turned a blind eye to her fury and calmly pointed in a direction. “The scenery there looks good. Let’s walk
around.”
“John carried Flint away!”
“I know,” he softly said, “He and Sherry will look after him. Don’t worry.”
Sylvia was not comforted, to say the least. “Do they even know how to care for a child since they’re not parents
themselves ?”
“They might have experience caring for children and want one of their own.”
Sylvia met his profound eyes amid her shock.
His dark pupils reflected the usual tenderness.
Sylvia pulled away from the locking gaze. “Go on then. I’m going to stroll around on my own.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“Mind your own-”
Before she could make a full snide remark, Sylvia was literally swept off her feet and carried down the shuttle bus.
