Chapter 856

“Mm.” Sylvia lay her face on his chest. Feeling the heat from his body, the chill she had from those scenes in the dream soon

faded away.

After a long while, she lifted her face to look at him and said directly, “I received a message from him today.”

Odell’s eyes flickered. “From who?”

“Thomas.”

His eyes sank, and he raised his hand to touch her face, asking in a low voice, “When did he send it to you? What did he say?”

“It was after Skylar left. | wanted to bring Flint back to bed when | suddenly received a message from him. He asked me how |

was doing recently. | didn’t reply to him and blocked him directly, “Sylvia answered honestly.

Suddenly thinking of New Year’s Eve, she looked at him again and said, “I sent him a message on New Year's Eve night,

wanting to ask if he could let Aunt Tonya come back. | made a deal with him before that as long as | stayed in Westchester until

New Year’s Eve, he would let her come back, so | sent him a message that night just after midnight.”

Odell pursed his lips. “Hm.”

He already guessed it.

‘When Sylvia was giving birth, Aunt Tonya told me about the deal that Thomas made with her. However, | can’t figure out why he

planned all that and actually let Aunt Tonya come back. It’s very much out of line with his sinister and calculating nature. Whether

he really intends to let Sylvia go or has other purposes, | have to be on guard against him.

‘No, | can’t just be on my guard. If he dares to return to Westchester, as long as | catch him, I'll settle the old and new scores with

him and send him to hell!’

After a moment of silence, he restrained the coldness in his eyes and said to Sylvia, “Don’t be scared. Next time he contacts you,

tell me first.”

This time, Sylvia was really not afraid anymore. She smiled and answered, “Okay.”

With every passing day, Flint grew.

Although there was Wanda and Flora to help take care of him, Sylvia did not want to be too far away from him and would take

care of him herself most of the time.

However, she was still very weak after giving birth, so Aunt

Tonya told her to recover for a month and a half.

Time passed quickly, and the day came when her recovery period was finally over.

The cold temperature was blown away by the spring breeze, and the sun shone brightly.

Sylvia opened her eyes and saw the sunlight streaming into the room. She immediately got up and went to the window, wanting

to open it to inhale the outside air. However, a large hand

dragged her back as Odell bundled her into his arms.

He had just finished washing up and had changed into a black slim-cut suit. He held her with one hand and gave her a side

glance. “What are you doing?”

Sylvia smiled at him. “I want to feel the outside air.”

He looked at her excited eyes, pinched her face, and picked up the blanket placed on the sofa next to her.

“It's chilly outside. Don’t catch a cold.” He draped the blanket over her and wrapped it around her.

Sylvia’s body warmed as she replied, “I know.”

Then, she turned around while wrapped in the blanket and pushed the window open with one hand.

In an instant, the whistling wind blew in her face. Although it was not cold, it was quite chilly. Sylvia immediately shrunk her neck.

At that moment, two long arms wrapped around her from behind.

The man held her in his arms and asked, “Are you still cold?”

She leaned against his chest, feeling the heat coming from his body, and smiled back at him. “I was, but not anymore.”

He lowered his head and pressed his thin lips against the side of her face, close to her ear, and asked in a low voice, “Are you

going to the hospital for a checkup today?” “Yeah. Isabel and Liam will go with me after breakfast.”

Sylvia had told the children about the appointment a few days

ago.

“Good.” After a pause, he lowered his voice again, “Tell me the results when the checkup is done.”

The thin lips brushed against her ear, and his magnetic voice tickled her a little.

Sylvia could not help but think that he only wanted to know the results because he wanted to do that with her. Her cheeks heated

up as she said, “Okay.”
