The uncomfortable silence lasted until they reached Ilse gates of Odell’s house Odell got out of the car
and went to carry the sleeping Isabel in his arms

slept in with them
Upon entering, Sylvia placed Liam on the bed and turned to Odell, “lust put Isabel down, I’ll take care of
them.”
Odell did not answer. He deftly put Isabel on the bed, before going to the dresser where he sound two

and proceeded to put her in one of the pajama sets.

In no time, both siblings had been placed in the middle of the bed, and carefully covered with the quilt.

Sylvia frowned at the sight of this, she supposed that he had taken over these duties during her
absence
That was when his large shadow loomed over her as he approached her He touched her head gently
and said softly. “You should get some rest as well.”

and the door was shut gently The room became quiet

In the early morning, the sound of Aunt Tonya knocking on the door to wake them up for breakfast
broke through the silence of the room.
Sylvia went to the living room with the children.
Odell was already waiting for them. Just like yesterday, Odell and Sylvia took Isabel and Liam to
kindergarten after breakfast. Immediately afterward, Sylvia left on her own to continue with the cleaning
and tidying up of
her new place. In the evening, she met Odell again when she went to the kindergarten to pick the
children up. After they had picked Isabel and Liam up, they headed back to the car. Odell drove.
After they pulled out of the congested road, he asked, “What would you all like to eat tonight?”

yesterday. We can’t eat that again.’ The taste of hot pots were too rich. Isabel and Liam were still
young so eating this kind of meal should only be eaten once in a while, but not too often.

returning to the bedroom, Odell changed them into their pajamas one after the other.

quilt and walked over to her. She subconsciously took two steps back
The look in his eyes darkened, before he looked into her eyes, “Tomorrow is Saturday, would you like
to take them out somewhere to play?”
Sylvia answered, “Sure.”
“Get an early rest, we’ll leave tomorrow moming.”
With that, he left.
Noticing that he was about to leave, Sylvia suddenly blurted out, “Tomorrow is the third day.”
He paused, “I know.”
Then he went outside.
Sylvia went to the bathroom to wash up.
The next morning, Sylvia was woken up by Aunt Tonya just like the previous two days.
