Chapter 1281
Sylvia stayed at home as she had done the past few days, accompanying Madam Carter with Flint and listening to her reminisce about the old days.

Odell also came back early and sat nearby with a book. No one knew if he was reading or eavesdropping on their chat. When the sky turned dark, Madam Carter said she was tired and went straight to sleep.

Sylvia tucked the energetic Flint into her arms and pushed Madam Carter into her room. After putting the old woman to bed with the help of the maid, Sylvia came out.

It was when she passed by the window that she saw John walking in through the gate. A bodyguard held an umbrella beside him. John was dressed in casual clothes and held Caprice in his arms. He looked very different from his usual business — like attire of a white shirt and black pants.

At first glance, he looked like a gentle father. Sylvia was startled, then quickly stepped to the living room door. “What are you doing here again?” As she spoke, her eyes also looked toward Caprice in

John’s arms. The little girl’s face was still pink and cute, and she stared at Sylvia with wide, defined eyes. With her blur expression and her good behavior, she was absolutely adorable.

John walked in with Caprice in his arms and said with a smile, “It’s been a week, and I’ve missed Master and Mrs. Carter, so I’ve brought my little Caprice Stockton here for a visit.”
