“I didn‘t want to wake my Caprice.”
Odell pursed his lips, then put down the documents in his hand and looked at John. “Why are you here?”
“Nothing much. It‘s just been a while since I‘ve been here, so I came to say hi.” As he spoke, he hugged Caprice
and sat down on the sofa.

Odell frowned. “I still have work to do. If you don‘t need anything else, then leave.”
John laughed. “You can work. I‘ll leave after a while.”

Odell glanced at him and saw that he was staring at the child in his arms and could not help but ask, “Do you take
the child with you everywhere you go?”
“Yes, my Caprice can‘t leave my side, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving her at home alone.”
Odell‘s lips twitched downward, and he stopped paying attention to John. He looked down and continued to work

on his documents.
The office was quiet for a while.
Caprice woke up from her nap. Her thick and curvy eyelashes fluttered, then she opened her eyes.
“Daddy...” she called out softly.
John smiled and said softly, “I‘m here. Are you hungry?”
Caprice pouted her little mouth. “I wanna pee.”
“Okay.” John immediately looked at Odell. “Master Carter, where‘s your washroom?”
Odell looked in one direction. Over there.”
At that moment, Caprice turned her head and saw Odell, and greeted softly, “Uncle Odell...”
Odell returned a smile to her.
John carried her to the washroom.
Not long after that, the little girl walked out on her own after finishing her business. She did not walk fast and
ambled slowly while looking around, her big round eyes wandering around the place curiously.
John followed behind her, his eyes fixed on her. There was a patient and doting smile on his face.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Caprice stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound and looked over curiously.
Odell, who was dealing with his work, said, “Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and Shermaine walked in with tea. One cup was placed on Odell‘s desk, and the other
cup was placed on the coffee table in front of the couch.
“Aunty...” Caprice suddenly ran over with her short legs.
Shermaine was stunned.
John frowned and immediately followed Caprice.
Odell also raised his head and looked over.
Caprice quickly ran up to Shermaine and tilted her head to look at the latter.
Shermaine looked at the little girl‘s innocent and cute appearance, and a smile decorated her mouth. Just as she
was about to say something, she saw the light in the bottom of the girl‘s eyes extinguish , and she muttered
unhappily, “Not Aunty.”

John carried her into his arms and asked with a smile,” Do you miss Aunty?”
Caprice said, “Yeah.”
“Daddy will take you to her later.”
Caprice‘s two large eyes instantly brightened. “Okay.”
To the side, Shermaine‘s gaze flickered. She was not dumb. The ‘aunty‘ that this rich man‘s daughter was referring
to was Sylvia.
A trace of displeasure flashed through her heart, but she soon straightened her expression and said with a smile,”
Master Stockton, does the young lady need anything to eat and drink? I‘ll go prepare it for her.”
John glanced at her. “There‘s no need. I‘ll be bringing her out soon.”
“Understood.” Shermaine turned around and went out.
John turned to Odell again. “Master Carter, since you‘re busy, I‘ll take Caprice to your house to visit Mrs. Carter
first.”
Odell looked at the documents in his hand and replied,” Sure, go ahead.”
John carried Caprice and went out. When he passed by the secretary‘s desk outside , he glanced twice at
Shermaine. again.
