Chapter 1037
John still had Flint in his arms when he asked, “Master Carter, are you two leaving already?”
Odell nodded regretfully . “Yes, sorry for troubling you over the last two days.”
John smiled and said, “No trouble at all. I hope you two come to visit now and then in the future.”
With that, he handed Flint to Sylvia.
That was when Madam Stockton, Julie, and Queenie emerged from the house.
They must have received word from John that Odell and Sylvia were heading back to Westchester. There was a look of urgency on Madam
Stockton‘s face as she trotted toward them.
She stepped right to Odell and Sylvia and when she noticed Flint in Sylvia‘s arms, a tender expression came
upon her. She asked with concern in her voice, “Master Carter, Mrs. Carter, are you two heading back already?”
Odell answered, “Yes, there are a lot of things we need to attend to back home so we figured we‘d stop troubling you guys over here.”
Madam Stockton looked endearingly at Flint who was asleep in Sylvia‘s arms and bid them farewell. “Stay safe on the trip back. Tell your drivers to be careful and make sure the

good care of the children.”
“Yes, I‘m sure you will.” Madam Stockton turned to Flint again.” Could I hug him one more time?”
Odell looked at Sylvia.
Sylvia was very polite. “Of course.”
Seeing as John had taken time out of his schedule to accompany them for two days, Sylvia had no qualms with letting Madam Stockton hold Flint even if she was not
particularly close with her. Besides, it did seem like she was genuinely very fond of Flint.
She handed Flint to her.
Madam Stockton cuddled the boy in her arms like he was her grandson.
She gazed at Flint‘s chubby cheeks that were shaped like buns as an affectionate and maternal look overtook her usual stoic expression.
Queenie and Julie stepped forward as well.
Julie stopped next to Madam Stockton and silently looked at Flint as well.
Queenie darted a cross look at Isabel who was sleeping soundly in Odell‘s arms and remarked, “The brat is sleeping like a pig.”
Odell glared at her.
Sylvia immediately shot a look at her as well.
She made a look and quickly stepped back as if trying to escape
from their pointed glare.
That was when John stepped forward to join Madam Stockton and announced gravely, “Mom, it‘s time to send off Master Carter and Mrs. Carter.”
Madam Stockton reluctantly returned Flint to Sylvia.
John smiled at them. “Master Carter, Mrs. Carter, have a safe trip home.”
Odell returned a faint smile.
Sylvia turned to Sherry.
She stood in the far back, seemingly apprehensive of having to talk to Madam Carter and the others.
It was only when it seemed like Sylvia was going to leave that she walked up.
She hugged Sylvia and whispered in her ears, “Sylvia, take care of yourself. Move on with your life and forget about what happened in the past.”
“I understand.” Sylvia smiled. “The same goes for you as well.”

Sherry tucked her lips together and stayed quiet.
After that, Sylvia wasted no time and got into the car with Flint while Odell followed after her with Isabel in his arms.
The car swerved into the road and disappeared out of sight once it swerved into a junction.
Madam Stockton, Julie, and Queenie prepared to head back into the house.
Madam Stockton suddenly glared at Sherry.
She still held a grudge over how Sherry slapped her and immediately shouted at her, “Mrs. Carter is already gone. What are you standing around here for?”
Sherry shot a look at her before walking inside the house.
“Stop.” Madam Stockton suddenly stopped her.
Sherry stopped and eyed her warily.
Madam Stockton refused to directly acknowledge her and turned to John instead as she tried to advise John to the best of her abilities. “John, you‘re thirty–
one years old. It‘s about time to get married, settle down, and have children.”
John‘s expression shifted. He turned to the madam and smiled flatly. “Mom, I‘m not planning to get married for now.”
