Chapter 1281

Sylvia stayed at home as she had done the past few days, accompanying Madam Carter with Flint and listening to her reminisceabout 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 withthe 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 besidehim. John was dressed in casual clothes and held Caprice in his arms. He looked very different from his usual business — likeattire 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 blurexpression 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'vebrought my little Caprice Stockton here for a visit.”

His Caprice Stockton? Sylvia‘s lips twitched downward. Enduring her anger, she reached her hands toward him. “I miss Capriceafter not seeing her for a week too. Could you let me hold her, Master Stockton?”

John smiled and handed Caprice to her.

Unexpectedly, the moment Sylvia's hand touched Caprice, the baby’s lips trembled, and she burst into tears with a loud wail.Sylvia quickly retracted her hand, and John took Caprice

back.

The little girl immediately stopped crying when she was in her father's arms.

John smiled at Sylvia. “Sorry. My girl is shy with strangers.”

Struck speechless, Sylvia glared at him and went into the living room.

Flint most likely heard Caprice‘s cry. When Sylvia came in, he was trying hard to get down from Odell's arms. However, he wasno match for Odell who held his little foot in an iron grip, so he could only hang upside down on the sofa. He could not get downat all.

When Sylvia came in, he opened his mouth and cried,” Mommy, help me...”Sylvia looked at him hanging upside down and instantly shot Odell a look.As Odell's eyes flickered, he held Flint upright and let go of him.

Flint immediately clambered down from the sofa and waddled over to John with his short legs. He raised his head to look atCaprice in John‘s arms and called sweetly, “Uncle John...”

John's lips curled down in disapproval when he saw how excitedly Flint was looking at Caprice, and he kicked Flint's little buttwith his foot.Immediately, Flint fell to the side and lay sprawled on the ground.

Sylvia was instantly enraged. However, before she could explode at him, Flint climbed up and eagerly ran over to John again,hugging the latter‘s leg. “Uncle John...”

His voice sounded even sweeter than before.

Sylvia was speechless.

What a little kiss*ss!

Odell also stood up and walked up to him in a few steps. His long arm reached out and picked Flint up.

Flint whirled his head around to look at Caprice in John‘s arms. His eyes were bright and round, filled with a fondness forCaprice. Then, he reached out his chubby hands.

John's expression changed, and he moved to the side with a big step.Flint grasped the empty air and looked at John pitifully.

In the past, John would definitely have fallen for that expression. However, things were different this time. He smiled at Flint andsaid, “Be a good boy, Flint. Caprice is still young. I'll let you play with her when she's bigger.”
