Chapter 1327
Odell’s expression shifted. He looked at Aunt Tonya and asked, “Aunt Tonya, where’s Sylvia?”
Irritated, Aunt Tonya answered, “She’s not at home.”
“Where is she?”
“Go ask her yourself.” Aunt Tonya’s tone remained annoyed and irritated.
Odell looked at Sebastian. “Uncle Sebastian?”
Sebastian sighed. “Madam went on a trip with the teachers from the academy.”
“What trip?”
“I am not clear, but it seems like a sketching trip to somewhere far away. She’s away for two weeks.”
Two weeks?
Odell frowned. “When did she leave?”
“Earlier today. An hour ago, she called Tonya and was probably on her way to her destination already.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOdell picked up his phone and called Sylvia.
“The number you have dialed is currently busy…”
It seemed like Sylvia’s line was engaged.
He then texted her on her social media. “Where are you now?”
He tapped ‘Send‘ but received a notification that the user had blocked him and that he could not send her
messages.
He felt disheartened. The woman had not only blocked his number but also blacklisted his social media account.
His expression turned grim for a while before he looked at Aunt Tonya. “Aunt Tonya, lend me your phone.”
Aunt Tonya was surprised, but he walked closer and put his hand out.
Aunt Tonya pursed her lips. She was upset that he made Sylvia mad again, but they were still a couple and she
could not just let the argument continue without end, so she gave him her phone.
Odell called Sylvia immediately.
A few ringtones later, the woman’s voice answered. She seemed to have just woken up from a nap as she said in a
rough voice, “Aunt Tonya? What’s wrong?”
Odell’s frosty gaze turned warm. “Where are you now?”
The moment his words subsided, the call was hung up. His expression turned grim again.
Aunt Tonya and Sebastian pursed their lips in silence.
Only Flint stared at his father with his big googly eyes.
((
Daddy, did you make Mommy mad again?”
Odell looked askance at the boy.
The boy’s neck shrank in fear, and he buried himself in Aunt Tonya’s embrace. He grumbled, “Hmph! You’re barely
at home, and you made Mommy mad. What a man.”
Odell, Aunt Tonya, and Sebastian were silenced by the boy’s surprising words.
The room went quiet for a moment before Odell decided to leave.
Flint popped his head out from Aunt Tonya’s arms and watched his father stride out of the door. He pouted and

Both Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were left dumbfounded.
After hanging up, the bus reached the airport.
Sylvia and the other teachers dragged their luggage to the counter for the boarding procedure. They then headed
to the lounge to wait for their flight.
She picked up her phone for a glance.
The man had called her once using Aunt Tonya’s phone, and there was nothing else after that. He was probably
mad at her. She did not expect his huge temper that
indicated that he had lost his patience for her.
She pressed her lips together. Since they would be boarding soon, she decided to turn off the phone and put the
annoyance behind her.
It was then that she overheard the other teachers‘ chatter.
“Ms. Johnson, I thought you said Meadow Hills is too far for you to travel. Why did you join us at the last minute?”
Ms. Johnson said, “It’s a long story.”
“Since there’s some time left before we board, let’s talk about it. Did something happen?”
