MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 11 Episode 9

Odell pursed his lips. The mention of Sherry drained the color off everyone else’s faces at the table.

John fell silent for a while before curling his lips. “Mrs. Carter, you’ve been with her for a week. It’s okay to miss one afternoon now that Master Carter and the children are here. How about | take all of you on a stroll around Glanchester?”

Sylvia frowned. The air was still in the room until a flat albeit young voice broke the silence. “Can’t we bring Aunt Sherry along?” Liam stared at John with his clear yet still eyes.

Sitting beside Queenie, Isabel echoed her brother’s thoughts. “Uh -huh. Aunt Sherry should come along to make it a double date!”

Silence befell the room once again.

Madam Stockton pulled a long face.

Queenie whispered to Isabel, “What do you know, kiddo? Don’t talk about her.”

Julie’s head hung low.

Sylvia and Odell looked at John.

Adjusting his glasses up his nose, John replied with a smile,” Sure. Anything Liam and Isabel say. Let’s take her along.” Chapter 1009

Immediately, Madam Stockton, Queenie, and Julie, who kept her head down the whole time, looked at John in surprise. Madam Stockton uttered, “John…”

John interrupted before Madam Stockton could say anything.” Mom, we probably have our dinner out tonight. Don’t wait for us.”

Madam Stockton pursed her lips with a scowl.

Julie curled her lips and said, “Go and enjoy yourselves, John. I’ll be here with Mom.”

John nodded his head.

Queenie murmured in a low voice, “John, I…”

John turned his eyes to her. “What?”

Queenie stole a look at Isabel before curling her lips. “Can | go with you guys?”

The question saw a change of expression in John’s eyes as her request came unexpectedly. Madam Stockton and Julie were shocked.

Amoment later, John replied, “If you want to go out, go with your friends. It’s not a good time today.” Queenie grunted, “Oh.”

It did not take long before Flint woke up from his nap on the rug.

He was crying out for his daddy.

Odell quickly got up and walked over.

Sylvia did not fall far behind.

The little guy quit yapping in his father’s arms, but Flint spread out his hands at the sight of Sylvia. “Mommy…”

Letting out a grin, Sylvia carried him into her embrace.

John gleefully uttered, “Since the young master’s up, let’s get ready to go out.”

Odell responded, “Sure.”

With Flint nestled in her arms, Sylvia turned on her heel.

It never occurred to Sylvia that Madam Stockton was standing behind her, fixating on Flint. The gaze did not go unnoticed as Flint beamed at Madam Stockton.

Madam Stockton smiled lovingly and urged Sylvia, “Flint is young and gets tired easily. Don’t take him to loud places and don’t be out long.”

Sylvia could tell that Madam Stockton took to Flint. Hence, Sylvia remarked in delight, “Don’t worry, Madam Stockton. We’ll take good care of him.”

After a brief chat, Sylvia, Odell, and John, together with three children, went on their way. Although they were gone, Madam Stockton, Julie, and Queenie’s eyes lingered at the door.

Reading the expression on Madam Stockton’s face, Julie commented with a grin, “The Carter family’s little man sure is adorable. He doesn’t kick up a fuss.”
