Sylvia‘s expression changed, and she looked at him. “You went to look for him?”
“Yeah, but he seemed very busy, so I came here.”
Sylvia said nothing.
John continued, “By the way, when did Master Carter change his secretary?”
Sylvia frowned, and her expression also turned cold.” Some time ago.”
John took in her expression. It seemed like she knew about the change of secretary. However, according to her
expression, she did not seem to like his new secretary very much.
“I think she looks a little similar to you. My Caprice almost mistook her for you at first glance.” After a pause, he
asked, “Are you two related?”
Sylvia‘s replied in a cold voice, “No.”
“Then, who introduced her to Master Carter as a secretary? She looks quite young and doesn‘t seem very
qualified.”

John smiled at her. “You‘ve misunderstood. I‘m just curious. I‘m not interested in her type.”
While Sylvia gave him a cold look and ignored him, John simply drank his tea. A while later, he looked at the clock,
got up, and said to Caprice, “Caprice, let‘s go home.”
Caprice pouted. “Kay.”
Then, she climbed down from Sylvia‘s arms and obediently walked over to him.
John picked her up with one hand and said to Sylvia,” We‘ll be leaving now, Mrs. Carter. See you next time.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. “Take care.”
John then carried Caprice out.
Flint immediately followed them to the gate.
Sylvia also could not bear for Caprice to leave so quickly and followed them to the door.

Flint said to Caprice, “Caprice, there‘s a lot of fun stuff here. Come here often and I‘ll play with you.”

Caprice went, “Uh–huh.”
Soon, John carried her to the car.
Only then did Flint turn around and see Sylvia‘s somewhat despondent look. It seemed she was thinking about
something unhappy.
“Mommy, what‘s wrong?” He walked up to Sylvia and hugged her leg, looking up warmly at her.
Sylvia picked him up and smiled at him. “I‘m fine. I‘m just a little reluctant to part with Caprice.”
Flint comforted her, “It‘s okay. Uncle Jack will definitely bring her over again soon.”
Sylvia smiled. “Yeah, you‘re right.”
However, why did she still feel annoyed?
Was it because John brought Shermaine up?
A silver MPV drove toward Glanchester.

Inside the car, John sat in the back row with Caprice in his arms. Not long after getting into the car, the girl stared

John gently touched her little face. “What‘s on your mind, Caprice?”
Caprice said, “Mommy.”
John‘s expression sank.
Caprice seemed to perceive his emotions. She nuzzled him and called out in a spoiled tone, “Daddy… Mommy...”
She was only two years old and not very good at articulating. However, John understood that she was asking where
her mother was.

John cradled her. After a long time, he said, “Mommy went to a faraway place, and Daddy can‘t find her yet, but
Daddy will find her one day. Just wait.”
Caprice stopped nuzzling him, hummed obediently, then fell asleep in his arms.
After a while, John wrapped an arm around her when he saw that she fell asleep, and took out his phone from her
pocket with the other.
