Chapter 217
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 217 Odell was probably already back at the venue. Sylvia really did not want to see him.
She sent a message to Simon saying that she had to leave first, then took another exit to leave the
hotel.
After leaving the hotel, she went back home.
When she returned, she took another shower and changed her clothes. The strange feeling that
enveloped her body dissipated greatly.
âItâs impossible for that man to have feelings for me. Heâs either tired of Tara, or he wants to take
advantage of me because Iâm not badâlooking.
âEither way, heâs just a scumbag!â
Sylvia cursed him a few times in her heart and took out her phone to call Isabel and Liam,
When she heard their soft and childish voices, her restless mood soon regained its calm,
At the hotel, the evening party ended on pime.
Odell glanced at Sylviaâs empty seat, and his face clouded with a cold expression.
âThat woman didnât come back after I returned. She obviously ran away.â
He got up with a cold face and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Tara quickly followed and hurriedly took
his arm. She pretended not to know anything and asked gently, âOdell, you donât look too good. Did
something happen?â Odell restrained the cold look in his eyes and replied, âNo.â
Soon, they left the hotel.
A cold breeze blew, and Tara immediately shrank and pressed her body to him.
Odell frowned, then took off his coat and draped it over her body. Taraâs eyes lit up, but she quickly said,
âIâm not that cold, Odell. You can wear it yourself.â âIâm fine,â he said. Then, he wrapped an arm around
her shoulder and walked forward.
The driver had already brought the car over and parked it right in front of the hotel. When he saw Tara
and Odell coming over, he opened the car door for them, so they got in. Half an hour later, the car
stopped outside Taraâs residence in Lake Victoria Villa.
She reached out to hug one of his arms and looked at him gently. âOdell, itâs very late now. Why donât
you stay here tonight?â
âNo, I still have work to do.â Odell was just about to pull her hand away. Taraâs eyes darkened, and she
lowered her head, saying in a soft voice, âYou havenât been with me for a long time. Are you tired of me?â
Odell frowned. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand to touch her head and said in a warm voice,
âDonât be ridiculous. I wonât get tired of you.â She looked up at him with reddened eyes. âThen, can you
stay with me?â ,
Her sad and aggrieved appearance instantly made him feel a bit guilty. Indeed, he had not accompanied
her for a long time. After a few more seconds of silence, he said, âOkay, Iâll tell Cliff to bring the
documents here later.â
Tara immediately jumped into his arms, but she cried, âIâm sorry, I donât want to disturb your work. I just
want to spend every moment with you. If youâre busy, you should go back to the office. Iâll be fine.â
Odell raised his hand and hugged her. âYouâre not disturbing me. Iâm the one who has neglected you.â
âBut you still have things to take care of.â He coaxed her patiently, âThe office isnât far from here. It wonât
take long for Cliff to deliver the documents to me.â
Taraâs lips curled up in his embrace. The uneasiness that had been bottled up in her heart for a long time
also went away. However, when she thought of Sylvia and the scene of Odell kissing her, a touch of
sinister jealousy suddenly surfaced in Taraâs eyes. âI have to find a way to stop that b*tch Sylvia from
approaching and seducing Odell!â
