Chapter 1517
John and Caprice were nowhere to be seen. They must have left.
She was just about to pluck herself out of bed when she heard a stampede of footsteps approaching. She heard a sweet familiar cry coming from outside her room. "Good morning, rise and shine, Aunt Sherry!" "Rise and shine, the sunlight is going to burn your butt if you don't wake up!" Another voice chimed in. It was the voice of a child.
Sherry was caught off guard.
Such familiar voices, could it be Isabel and Flint?
Thump!
She hopped out of bed and sprang out of the room without bothering to put her slippers on.
In the living room were John and Odell sitting at the tea table and having a conversation.
Liam was finicking some toys in the corner of the living room. At one point, Caprice joined him and stared at him in awe.
After waking up Sherry, Isabel and Flint returned to Queenie’s side and continued playing with her.
Sylvia was the only one next to the door when Sherry flung it open.
The two immediately made eye contact.
"Sylvia!" Sherry threw herself in Sylvia’s arms the moment she saw her.
So this was what John was talking about when he was being all mysterious last night.
It was certainly a wonderful surprise!
It took a while before she was finally willing to let go of Sylvia as she exclaimed with joy, "Sylvia, I miss you so much!"
Sylvia teased her. "President Sherry, if you miss me so much, why didn’t you come to pay me a visit?"
Sherry shrunk with guilt upon hearing this. "I wasn't trying to avoid you. I just haven’t had time to get to it yet, and there’s so much going on."
Sylvia gave her a suspicious look.
"Sylvia, I was wrong. I promise to never hide anything from you again."
She was going to pay her a visit at Westchester so they could talk face to face, but Sylvia and Odell just happened to be out of town at the time. After that, there was a string of events at Manchester and so she never managed to get around to it.
Sylvia smiled and forgave her. "I get it. Come on, go wash up." "Alright, give me a second." Sherry pranced into the bathroom.
Sylvia peeked into the room.
Her room seemed more cozy and homely compared to her previous living situation when she was with John. There were even some adorable plushies at the head of the bed.
It seemed like Sherry was doing much better these days.
Sylvia was comforted to see this. She remained by the door and waited for Sherry.
Meanwhile, things were only getting livelier in the living room.
Isabel was cuddled up with Queenie as they watched a tv show together. Flint was not interested in the show so it did not take long before he decided to crawl toward Caprice and join in on the fun.
Caprice was still intently staring at Liam playing with his toy, and she barely acknowledged Flint's presence.
Then, Flint went to Odell and John. He mumbled something incoherent, which earned him a warm smile from John who patted his head gently.
Shortly after that, Odell sent Flint away to play with his siblings.
Flint sighed and went away. This time, he waddled up to Sylvia and wrapped himself around her thigh. The boy demanded attention from his mother.
Sylvia smiled charmingly and asked him, "Flint, why aren't you playing with your brothers and sisters?"
