Chapter 403
Tara flung herself into Odell’s arm and voiced her sorrows, “Odell, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have
come to see Grandma at this time. I should’ve known that Sylvia wouldn’t like seeing me here. I hope I
don’t cause you any trouble...”
Odell gently patted her on her back and assured her, " It's not your fault."
Then, he turned to Sylvia and asked with sharp hostility, “Did you hit her?”
“Yes, I hit her...” Sylvia met his gaze boldly and motioned with her hands. “Not just once but twice. My
hand is still shaking from how hard I hit her. ”
Odell, "..."
Sylvia crossed her arms and continued, “Are you going to slap me to make things right for her? What’s
it gonna be, twenty or two hundred slaps? Hurry up and get on with it if you’re going to do it. I need to
rest after.”
His face darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe cries of Tara who was still clinging onto him had turned into soft whimpers by this point.
Tara slowly turned to Sylvia and noticed the bold and arrogant expression she wore. She clasped her
hands firmly and turned back to Odell, sobbing a little as she said, "Odell, forget it. I’ll be fine. I’m just
going to go home and rub some ointment on it and it will recover in a few days. I hope I don’t cause any
problems between you and Sylvia.”
Odell frowned sternly.
Tara looked at him with tears in her eyes and looked fully like a damsel in distress.
The air became terribly still for a moment, until Odell broke the silence. “Alright, you just go home and
take care of yourself.”
Tara was astonished by this response.
“Pfft.” Sylvia chuckled.
Odell turned up and shot her a look.
Sylvia pursed her lips and held back her laughter.
To think that she initially expected Odell to punish her with twenty slaps at least.
Tara seemed to be fighting back tears at this point and she spoke with a nasally voice, “Alright, then I'll
leave first. Please don’t quarrel with her because of me, especially since you two finally remarried.”
Odell's eyes turned dark for a split second. “Don’t worry, be careful on the way home.”
He let her go.
Tara was infuriated and clenched her teeth silently. She continued putting on a wounded look as she
went downstairs.
Sylvia closed the door as she was going to rest.
Before she could close the door, a large hand pressed against the surface of the door and shoved it in
the other direction.
Bang!
The door slammed hard against the wall.
Odell stepped toward Sylvia with a grim expression like the devil himself.
Sylvia instinctively grabbed at the collar of her shirt while slowly pacing backward. "Odell, I... I'm going
to rest."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell smirked coldly. “You seem very energetic to me.”
Sylvia felt the words caught in her throat. She prepared to dash past him and make a run for it.
Just when it seemed like she could get away, she felt a large hand grabbing her from behind.
He effortlessly pulled her into his body with only one arm, then wrapped another arm firmly around her
waist.
Sylvia immediately tried to push him away.
He snorted as if amused. Then, he cupped her face with his palm and silenced her with his lips.
Sylvia could not possibly resist his domineering strength.
Within seconds, she was thrown onto the bed.
Odell seemed like he was going to rip her limbs apart as if this was his way of indirectly avenging Tara
for the two slaps she received.
Silence finally descended on the room around evening when Sylvia finally passed out.
She curled into a ball like a cat would, exhaustion spread across every cell of her body.
Odell lay beside her and noticed something was wrong. He raised his hand and gently caressed her. "
Sylvia."
Sylvia closed her eyes tightly. Her chapped lips quivered, “No... don't..."
She was trembling all over.
