Chapter 212

Chapter 212 Odell swept a glance at Sylvia and proceeded to take Isabel into his arms while turning to

the housekeeper, “Maxworth, prep dinner.” The butler proceeded to the kitchen.

Madam Carter finally quieted down and turned to Sylvia. “Syl, bring Liam here to join us for dinner.”

“Alright, Grandmother.” Sylvia quickly carried Liam and sat with the madam herself. Meanwhile, Odell

took Isabel and sat across from Sylvia. The dinner was rather lively and everything was progressing

civilly. After dinner, Sylvia spent time playing with Isabel and Liam as she always did before she took

them to their bedroom and put them to bed. She only come out after they fell asleep.

Madam Carter and the housekeeper had gone to rest some time ago, so only Odell remained in the

living room. She pretended to not notice him and walked quickly outside. “Stop,” he suddenly called after

her. She pretended not to hear and continued advancing. Just when she seemed like she was about to

step out of the living room, the faint glimmer of a large shadow cast over her from behind. She felt her

neck tightening. Odell grabbed her by the back of her collar and hissed grimly, “Are you deaf? Didn‘t you

hear

me?”

Sylvia jerked her neck and asked in a discontent manner, “Do you need something?”

“Turn around.” He released his grip on her collar.

Sylvia knew that she could not outrun him. She took a few steps forward before turning around and

regarded him with a pointed look from roughly two meters away.

Odell was silent for a while, then he started solemnly, “Come here.”

Sylvia stood still. “If you have something to say, now‘s your time. I have to go home.”

He looked at her severely. “I‘ll count to three. You decide for yourself.” His idle face was thinly veiled with

hostility. Sylvia thought of Isabel and Liam and proceeded to take two steps toward him.

Odell beckoned again. “Right in front of me.” Sylvia took some liberty with her wording. “Odell, isn‘t it

inappropriate for us to be meeting in

private like this?”

Odell ignored her pleas and cast a dark look at her.

She added, “Don‘t I annoy you to no end? What the hell happened to you?”

She looked puzzled and deeply troubled.

Odell ignored everything she said and continued frowning deeply.

Sylvia‘s eyes beamed as she smiled coyly. “Odell, don‘t tell me you‘ve fallen for me?” His expression

suddenly became fierce. “Get out.” It was precisely what Sylvia was waiting for. The moment he uttered

those words, she had already run a couple of meters away from him.

She was out of the door in the blink of an eye.

A thickset, gloomy cloud appeared over his face.

......

Since it was the school holidays, Liam and Isabel no longer had to go to kindergarten during the day.

Shortly after Sylvia woke up the next day, their tiny figures dashed toward her from the door.

“Mommy, Brother and I are here to visit you!” Isabel ran like a duckling with her feet waddling hastily in

front of her.

Liam was calmer in contrast. He strutted with composure behind his sister.

Aunt Tonya was in the yard at the time, and when she saw them, she immediately dropped what she was

doing and ran to them excitedly, “Liam, Isabel, you kids are here!”

“Aunt Tonya, I missed you so much!” Isabel ran towards her and flung herself into her arms.

Aunt Tonya smiled and hugged her before leading her and Liam into the living room. Soon, Sylvia joined

them in the living room, where she spent her time showering them with hugs and kisses.

This was the start of a joyful day. Sylvia played with them all day and only sent them back to the Carters‘

after the sky had almost turned dark.

The next day, they showed up at her place again.

It seemed clear enough that their holiday plan was to spend time with her.

Sylvia began planning the activities for each day. They would either stay at home together all day or she

would take them somewhere nice.
