Chapter 1021

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 to time. “Young Master Carter, does

Flint usually sleep at this hour?”

Odell thought about it fora moment. “Yes, it's around this time.”

“When will he wake up?”

“| think he'll be waking up soon.” After a moment of hesitation, Odell asked, “Why are you asking about this, Master Stockton ?”

John smiled gently. “Nothing. I'm just curious.”

“Every child's rest time isn't fixed. Liam slept a lot more than Flint when he was young.” Speaking of that, Odell looked toward

John. He smirked and said, “If you're curious about children, have one and you'll know what it's like.”

John's expression changed. After staying silent for two seconds, he smiled and said, “I just like Flint a lot. I'm not really interested

in children for now.”

Odell pressed his lips together. He lowered his head to look at his son sleeping sweetly in his arms and did not say anything

else.

The atmosphere went quiet.

John quickly noticed Liam, who was sitting alone on the stairs at the edge of the field alone and reading a book.

The place Liam was sitting was located on higher ground. Although he was not in front of an open space, from John‘s angle it

looked like Liam was sitting on a cliff. His little body looked as if it was surrounded by all the stars in the sky. He was young, yet

he had the aloofness and mysterious aura that was unusual for a person his age.

John went silent for a moment. He could not help but ask,” Young Master Carter, does Liam usually prefer being alone?”

Odell looked toward Liam's direction. He replied, “Not necessarily. It depends on who he's with.”

“Oh. Who is he with when he doesn't prefer to be alone?”

“His mom and sister.” Upon mentioning Sylvia, the expression on Odell's face softened.

John said while smiling, “You must be very happy to have these children.”

“Not necessarily.”

John asked curiously, “Why not?”

Odell gave him an answer. “I was not very happy that Sylvia has been here at your place for a week.”

John was taken aback. He laughed and said, “It seems like your feelings for Young Madam Carter run deep.”

Odell remained silent for a while. Then, he said in a low voice, “I used to have a huge misunderstanding about her. Liam had just

been born at that time. Although I hated Sylvia, | loved Liam. | also recently realized that | probably had feelings for her even

back when | had misunderstood her. If | had truly hated her, | wouldn't have loved the child that she had birthed for me.”

John had not expected that Odell, a man of few words, would tell him all those things. After feeling momentarily stunned, he said,

“It's not too late to figure things out now. You still have a lot of good times ahead with her.”

“Despite saying it that way, if | could turn back in time, | would never have hurt her even if she had really done those bad things

from the start.” After pausing for a moment, Odell lifted his gaze and looked toward John. he said in a deep voice, “Don't ever

hurt the person you love. If not, you'll regret it your entire life.”

John was stunned. It was only after a few seconds before his expression returned to normal.

He chuckled. “You have a point there, Young Master Carter.”

It was a given that they should not hurt the people they loved.

However, what if it were the person they despised?
