NovelEnglishChapter 270
Tara’s friends echoed in agreement. “That woman is really a shameless whore.” “Yeah, but I really am
jealous of you. Master Carter is rich and handsome, and he’s good to you. If I can meet someone like
him, I’ll become a vegan for the rest of my life.”
“I’ll be one for the rest of my life and my next life.”
As the flattery slowly built up to the climax, Tara answered, “Okay, guys, this is the main chat group.
We shouldn’t be chatting here.”
The farce finally ended as they moved on to another topic.
Sylvia read through the whole conversation.
Tara had always presented herself as the ice queen who was cold and elegant. Unless someone tried
to flatter her, she would merely answer a word or two. It was almost impossible for her to join the
gossip, let alone discuss it in the main chat group.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe did this on purpose. She started the topic and pointed out that some woman had tried to seduce
Odell.
The phrase she used to describe the woman was an eyesore to Sylvia. No matter how she looked at it,
it was a direct mock of herself.
Tara must have sensed something wrong with Odell recently. That was why she set up this farce for
Sylvia to see. Sylvia scoffed and tossed her phone aside. She wished Odell would just die and leave
her in peace!
Odell no longer limited Isabel and Liam’s freedom because, in the next two days, the two of them
arrived at Sylvia’s house earlier than usual.
Sylvia accompanied them for the whole day and sent them back when it was dark. However, she still
refused to go into the Carters’ residence.
Therefore, she successfully avoided Odell for the past two days.
Odell did not bug her as well. Maybe the man was busy or maybe Tara shackled him at her place.
Regardless, Sylvia did not care. As long as she could see her kids every day without the man bugging
her, it was all good and comfortable.
Soon, Isabel and Liam’s holiday came to an end.
As usual, she spent the whole day with the two of them and sent them back when it was dark. Right
before the two kids cross the gate to the Carters’ residence, Isabel clutched her mother’s
hand. She said, “Mommy, Brother and I are going back to school tomorrow. Can you play with us a little
longer tonight?” Liam stared at his mother in anticipation. Sylvia could never say no to them, so she
agreed. “Okay.” The two little rascals grinned happily. Sylvia then went into the Carters’ residence with
them. Odell was still not home. Only Madam Carter and the butler were chatting in the living room.
While Sylvia sat beside Madam Carter and chatted with her, Isabel and Liam stuck to their mother like
bees to honey.
It was lively in the house until dinner time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia got up and wanted to head back, but Madam Carter held her back. “Stay for dinner.”
Both Isabel and Liam showed their googly eyes, begging their mother to stay. Sylvia had a glance
outside. She spotted no signs of Odell’s return, so probably the man was out dating Tara until late at
night. After some hesitation, she agreed. “Okay.”
To her surprise, when she got to the table with Madam Carter and the two rascals, Madam Carter said
to one of the servants, “Tell Odell to come down and have dinner.”
“Yes, madam,” the servant answered with a nod before she went up.
Sylvia’s expression froze. She bolted up in shock. Madam Carter was startled as well. “Syl, what’s
wrong?” she asked. Sylvia anxiously said, “Grandmother, I suddenly remember I have something to do
at home
“What thing?” The man’s deep and cold voice interrupted her. Sylvia looked up and saw Odell coming
down the stairs. The man was in a black shirt, and his bangs were left dangling in front of his forehead.
His movements reeked of nonchalance, but it somehow bore a sense of frostiness as well.
Sylvia averted his gaze and said, “N-Nothing.”
She sat back down.
Odell secretly curved his lips and sat down opposite her. He had been watching her from the moment
she brought the kids home.
