Chapter 989

Sherry could not help but glare at John as she said, “I said, she doesn’t want to see him.”

John’s smile faded.

Odell looked at the door to the guest room that was the only one with the door closed. “Master Stockton, Ms. Fowler, I'd like to

talk to her alone, please.”

John followed his gaze to the guest room and the smile returned to his face. “Sure.”

Odell went over to the closed door.

Sherry’s expression changed. She tried to stop Odell but John held her back.

She tried to struggle but John forcefully cupped her face. “Stop it. Come out with me.”

He then carried her out of the living hall.

The other servants followed them out and the whole house went quiet.

Odell went up to the door and knocked.

Sylvia was leaning on the wall beside the door.

“Sylvia,” he said.

Sylvia did not answer.

Odell frowned and spoke in a deep voice. “I know it’s my fault. |

wronged you for the first three years.”

He had received a call from Ben as he was traveling to Glenchester. Ben said he had been forced to take Sylvia to Sherry’s

place. He had also mentioned that Sylvia only remembered what had happened in the first few years.

Sylvia tightened her lips. “Go back. | don’t want to see you now.”

“It’s not convenient for you to be here. Please come back with me. You don’t have to see or stay with me. We can meet again

when you calm down.”

He sounded gentle and patient, unlike the man she remembered

from the three years of memories that she had of him.

Sylvia shut her eyes. She knew what had happened after those three years but for now, all she had were the memories of those

three years, and she could not forgive him based on that.

“It's convenient enough for me to be here. Just go back.”

Odell paused for a moment. “The kids will miss you if they don’t see you.”

Sylvia frowned. The adorable faces of her children appeared in her mind and made her chest feel tight.

Amoment later, she said, “I'll call them.”

“Are you really not coming back with me?” he asked, the tone of voice sounding heavier.

Annoyed, Sylvia said, “Yeah!”

“Are you going to be the third wheel here?”

What? What was that supposed to mean? Was he trying to make her angry?

Sylvia coldly snorted, “Yeah! I’m going to be the third wheel!”

“Fine...”

He turned and left.

Sylvia could hear his footsteps as he left since there was only one door between them.

She frowned but did not do anything.

Odell left the living hall and headed to the yard.

Sherry was being restrained by John as they waited for Odell.

John smiled when Odell came out. “Master Carter, where’s Mrs. Carter? Didn’t she follow you out?”

Odell stared at him. “She’s not in the mood and she wants to stay with Ms. Fowler for several more days.”

John’s smile froze.

Meanwhile, Sherry’s eyes lit up.

Odell did not seem to notice the displeasure on John’s face at the news and he added, “I'll have to trouble you and Ms. Fowler

for two more days. I'll come to pick her up and take her back when she’s feeling better. | won’t let her stay here for too long.”

John forced a smile on his face. “You're being too courteous, Master Carter. You are my most important collaborator and

your wife is Sherry’s best friend, after all. Sherry needs some company as well, so I’m glad that Mrs. Carter is willing to stay to

accompany her for a few more days.”

Odell smiled in return. “As long as you're okay with it, Master Stockton.”

Sherry rolled her eyes.
