After dinner, Odell sent Tara back to Lake Victoria Villa belore he went back to the Cartersâ residence The bodyguards opened the door for him when they saw him Odell had a glance at one of the bodyguards. âDid the woman come over today?â
âMs. Ross didnât come today.â
His already icy expression had an extra scowl to it.
The bodyguard timidly looked away Odell grunted. âDid she really go out with Tristan? I thought she would try harder for the kids, but she seems to have forgotten about them now that sheâs with a manâ
He went inside with a grim look The bodyguard sighed a breath of relief after he went inside. At the same time, the bodyguard also grumbled secretly Gosh, what is wrong with Master Carler? i thought he was the one who stationed us out here to prevent Ms. Ross from coming Now thal sheâs not coming, he seems even angrier.â
Odell went straight to Isabel and Liamâs room.
The door was open, but no one was inside. The whole house was quiet âWhere did the two little rascals go?â Odell frowned Soon, some noises came from inside his room.
He squinted and crept closer to the door His room was at the east of the second floor. Inside his room, there was a balcony to the south and an extended deck to the north.
The noise came from the northern deck Liam was there holding the chair that Odell used to rest in with Isabel standing on top of it. She popped her head over the fence while her hands gripped the binoculars, gazing further way The two little rascals did not notice Odellâs presence. They were concentrating on watching Sylviaâs house Liam asked, âIsabel, do you see Mommy?â
Isabel peered through the binoculars and grinned. âI see Mommy. She came back in her car and is in the yard, talking to Aunt Tonya.â
Liamâs eyes shone with interest.
Isabel had a few more glances before she passed the binoculars to her brother. âLlam, Mommy is going inside Hurry up and have a look!â
She jumped off the chair and then took Liarnâs place to hold the chair steady Liam climbed up to where Isabel was and looked through the binoculars. He also grinned at what he saw Just when he was enjoying the view, Isabel suddenly screamed, âLiam, the meanie is here!â Liam jumped off right away and kept the binoculars behind him. Odellâs tall figure approached.
The two little kids stood side by side as they looked up to their father cautiously.
Odell put his hand out and said, âGive it to meâ
Isabel blinked. Liam turned a deaf ear while his hands that were holding the binoculars remained hidden behind his back.
Odell bellowed, âGive me the binoculars.â Isabel argued, âWe bought this with our own money. Itâs ours!â
Odell tightened his lips He turned to Liam and said, âIâll count to threeâ Before he started counting, Liam obediently revealed the binoculars behind his back Immediately, Odell snatched the binoculars from the boy. He stared at his children and said, Go back to your room and prepare to go to bed.â Isabel pouted and gave him the cold shoulder Odell tapped her head, âGo back now, or I will bring you back mysellâ âBig meanie!â Isabel scolded him before she strode away. Liam followed her closely, After the two left his room, Odell sat on the chair that his kids had stood on earlier.
He moved the binoculars to his eyes and looked through it. The binoculars granted him visjon of the house lurther away Sylviaâs presence was enlarged in his vision, and she felt so close that he could reach her by simply putting out his hand.
Sylvia had just come out from the living room and was getting into her car in the yard.
