John handed the nipple of the milk bottle to Flint. Flint immediately sucked on the nipple of the bottle. He held the bottle with his little hands and began to drink in earnest. As if the action of drinking his milk was not adorable enough, he also stared at John and Sherry with his big, round eyes. He was so cute and obedient that he could almost melt people’s hearts. Sherry cupped his face with both hands. “Uhhh… My little baby boy is so cute.”John, who was carrying Flint, pressed his lips together. His eyes that were behind his glasses were filled with affection and gentleness. That child was indeed cute. …The holiday resort was huge. It took Sylvia a whole evening to visit a few attractions.The sky turned dark before she had even reached the adults’ entertainment section. She did not know where John and Sherry had taken Flint and neither did she know what Isabel and Liam’s situation was.Sylvia was not in the mood to walk around anymore so Odell did not force her
“Pfft…” Sherry could not hold back her laughter. John, who was standing beside her, could not resist laughing too. Only Odell’s face was dark. Very quickly, Isabel sensed the aura emanating from her father. She lowered her head and muttered, “They were the ones who bullied someone else first. They pushed the person’s head into the muddy water. Not only did they bully him, they told him to kneel, beg and call them ‘Daddy.’ They were so bad that I just wanted to teach them a lesson.”Sylvia asked, “So you taught all of them a lesson by yourself?”Isabel raised her head. “That’s right!”With an expressionless face, Liam said, “If Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob weren’t there, you would’ve been held down and forced to call them ‘Daddy’ too.”Isabel placed her hands on her hip and shouted, “That’s not true! I had already bitten that fatty until he was in tears when Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob came to help me.”“You were only able to bite him because the fatty slipped and fell at your fee
Sylvia did not know what happened between Sherry and John, and she had already said everything she could. It was inconvenient to say anything more in front of Isabel, so she took Isabel to the bathroom.…On the lawn of the higher ground of one side of the resort.The lights were bright and alcohol, beverages, and snacks had been arranged everywhere. A few waiters stood around, waiting to be summoned.There was a barbeque grill on one side, which was manned by a professional barbeque chef. That place was the highest point of the whole resort. Just by looking up, one could even see a sky full of stars. If one lowered their head, they could see the night view of the whole resort from above. The field of vision was wide and beautiful. A rectangular dining table had been placed in the middle of the field.Odell was sitting on one side of the table with Flint sleeping soundly in his arms.John sat opposite him. Behind his glasses, he glanced toward Flint’s sleeping face from time
Sylvia had to bathe Isabel many times. Not only did the girl have mud in her hair, but it had gotten in her ears too. Sylvia only managed to get her clean after bathing her for over an hour. Finally clean, the little girl was now fair with a hint of rosiness. The clothing that John had prepared for her was a puffy pink dress. Isabel transformed into a chubby little princess after putting it on. However, she sighed when looking at her reflection in the mirror. “Ah, how childish.”“...”Sylvia felt a lump in her throat. She said, “Mommy thinks it looks nice. Besides, this was specially prepared by Uncle John for you. You can’t dislike it. It’s impolite. Do you understand?”The little girl was cute and should be doted on. However, she could not be allowed to become overly spoiled. Nevertheless, it was Sylvia’s first time lecturing Isabel ever since she had lost her memory. Sylvia felt nervous after speaking. Surprisingly, Isabel pressed her lips together. Not only was s
John was looking as if he actually cared about Sherry. However, Sherry’s face paled for a moment and she slowed down her actions a lot. Sylvia pressed her lips together. Just as she was about to say something, a piece of lamb chop appeared before her eyes. Odell had taken it for her. “Eat quickly while the lamb chop is still hot.”His voice was gentle as he spoke. The lamb chop was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A tempting aroma wafted from it. Sylvia pursed her lips. Then, she picked up the lamb chop and began to eat.After taking a few bites, she noticed Sherry staring eagerly at the lamb chop in Sylvia’s hands. However… There was clearly another plate of lamb chops on the table. Sylvia immediately took a piece of lamb chop for Sherry and put it on her plate. Pretending as if she did not know anything, Sylvia said, “Sherry, what are you looking at? Eat up while it’s hot.”Sherry glanced at John. John smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? You
John, who was standing beside Sherry, glanced at her and Flint. Then, he smiled at Odell and Sylvia. He said, “Master Carter, Mrs. Carter, rest assured and take Liam and Isabel to rest. We’ll take care of Flint properly.”Odell nodded. He circled an arm around Sylvia’s waist and turned around. He led her to their suite without giving her a chance to break free. There were two bedrooms in the suite. When Liam and Isabel entered, by tacit understanding, they went into the smaller bedroom. The atmosphere immediately fell silent.Sylvia looked toward Odell with a frown. “Why did you give Flint to them? Are they really capable of taking care of him well?”Odell lifted his hand to touch her face. He said in a low voice, “They babysat Flint for the entire evening. They changed his diaper and fed him formula. They’re already experienced and can take care of him well.”Sylvia was surprised. “They changed Flint’s diaper and even fed him formula?”“Mm.”“How did you know?”“I check
When Sylvia stood up, she lost her footing. Since she had used too much force as well, not only did she not push Odell away, but she also ended up throwing herself into his embrace. Thud. Her head hit his chest. Sylvia wanted to step back, but found that her waist had been encircled by Odell.Holding her with one arm, he lowered his handsome face to meet her eyes. His voice was husky. “Don’t be hasty. Go and get a bath first. I’ll be here. I won’t run away.”After speaking, his warm lips left a kiss on her forehead as if he was reassuring her. Sylvia was speechless. She had only lost her footing. There had not been any other meaning to that. She instantly wanted to push him away. However, at that moment, Odell released her. He patted her head and said hoarsely, “Go. I’ll wait for you.”Sylvia slapped his hands away and ran into the bathroom. She took a long bath. Only when her emotions had calmed and her expression had returned to normal, did she put on her pajamas a
Meanwhile, in another suite at the lodgings. Although they had come back to the room quite some time ago, Sherry remained on the couch as she played with Flint. The little boy was like a fluffy marshmallow and was nice to cuddle with. He was still quite energetic as his eyes looked around, full of curiosity. Sherry took out a pack of gummies to tease him with. The boy’s eyes lit up the moment when he saw the food in Sherry’s hand and he began to clamber on top of her without any caution. Sherry lifted the pack of gummies in the air. Flint was unable to reach it and after his attempts had failed, he burrowed his head into the crook of her neck and began to whine, “Aunty… gummy…” Sherry gave in the moment she heard his soft and innocent voice. “Here you go, Aunty is going to give you some gummies." She no longer had the heart to keep teasing Flint and immediately presented a piece to him. Flint immediately began munching away. As Sherry quietly admired how a
