Sylvia was dumbfounded, and then she lowered her head to change Liam into his pajamas. Her actions were the same as Odellâs, but she was slower, possibly because her hands were smaller than his.
After a while, she finished changing Liam. She then carried him up and put him down on the inside of the bed.
The brother and sister were sound asleep with the blanket covering them.
Sylvia could not help kissing their cute little cheeks and said softly, âGoodnight.â Then, she walked out of their room. Odell was standing in front of the door. Seeing that she was about to leave, he asked, âDonât you have anything to say to me?â His brows were slightly arched, and his expression was indifferent, not showing any hint of happiness or anger.
However, his tone sounded displeased.
Sylvia thought and said, âGoodnight.â After that, she walked past him.
A long arm suddenly reached for her and circled her waist., Sylvia was immediately in front of him, and her face almost bumped into his chest.
She quickly held out her hand in front of his chest to resist him, looking up at the same time.
Odell lowered his head simultaneously, and their lips touched.
Sylviaâs eyes widened in shock, but he pulled back just as she was about to push him.
His dark gaze stared at her, and his lip curled up. âGoodnight.â
As his words fell, Odell let go of her waist. Sylviaâs face was blushing, and she felt angry. After glaring at him, she walked away quickly.
In the Elysian House, Tara ordered a few bottles of wine after going in with her friends.
She seemed to be drunk. After a few glasses, she leaned on the table in a tipsy manner.
Soon, she wailed, âI donât understand. I donât understand why she would do thatâ¦â
The women sitting with her saw her upset look and asked immediately, âTara, who are you talking about?â
âTara, are you talking about Sylvia and Master Carter? If youâre sad, tell us. Donât keep it inside. Weâll listen to you.â As if she was touched by their concern, Tara said while crying, âAt first, I didnât know she liked Odell too. If I knew, I wouldnât have gotten together with him. I was already dating Odell at that time, but she could still drug him and climb up his bedâ¦â
The few women widened their eyes in surprise.
Tara continued, âShe even called her family to witness them on the bed. Odell had to marry her under his familyâs pressure, and I was forced to break up with him⦠But Iâve never come between them, and Odell also divorced her because she kept harming and bullying me due to her hatred for meâ¦â As she spoke, Tara cried sadly. In a short while, a woman could not help but ask, âWhat happened next?â Her friends looked like they were pitying Tara, but it was not hard to discover their yearning for gossip under the pretense of pity. Tara âdrunkenlyâ said, âShe left Westchester City and came back last year, bringing her daughter. Odell and I didnât expect that she had carried twins. I never thought that sheâd keep using her identity as Sunflower to suppress me, and she had not given up on Odell yetâ¦â
Before finishing her words, Tara covered her face and wept. Her friends immediately defended her. âIt seems that Sylvia is a downright b*tch!â âShe mustâve used some underhanded tactics to seduce Master Carter.â
âIt must be their children. Sheâs the childrenâs birth mom. Didnât you guys see that they were bringing two kids along? Sylvia mustâve let her daughter go back to the Carters and wanted to use her to get close to Master Carter. Their feelings will reignite with time!â
