NovelEnglishChapter 533
Sylvia woke up at the same time as usual
Since it was Saturday, she was in no particular hurry to wake Isabel and Liam up. She made breakfast
with Aunt Tonya before she went to get the children
To her surprise, Liam was already awake and already dressed. He was playing with the little Rubik’s
cube that she had handmade for him. Upon noticing Sylvia entering, he greeted her casually, “Good
morning, Mommy.” Sylvia smiled at him and returned the same greeting, “Good morning, Liam.”
Then, she woke up Isabel, the lazy little pig.
After Isabel got washed and dressed as well, she took them to the living room for breakfast They
wolfed down their breakfast very quickly. Sylvia took her phone and was just wondering where to take
them today when Aunt Tonya suddenly marched through the door, appearing a little jumpy
Sylvia immediately inquired, “Aunt Tonya, is something the matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAunt Tonya darted a glance at Isabel and Liam, and lowered her voice to a hushed whisper,” He’s
here.”
Something gleamed in Sylvia’s eyes, and she proceeded to ask calmly, “Odell is here?” This
immediately drew Isabel and Liam’s attention
Aunt Tonya nodded
Sylvia smiled and turned to Isabel and Liam, “Liam, Isabel, your Daddy is here to bring you out. Why
don’t you two go to him?”
Isabel was rather delighted and climbed off the sofa immediately
Liam asked, “Mom, aren’t you coming?”
Isabel turned to Sylvia with a curious glimmer in her eyes.
Sylvia looked at the two pairs of perfectly round eyes staring at her. She gave them a troubled look and
said with a strained smile, “I have other things to deal with today, so I won’t be going with you kids
today. Have fun with your Daddy.” Liam did not have anything to say while Isabel only muttered a short
“oh” in a slightly dejected tone.
However, the prospect of getting to go somewhere fun filled her with joy again. After Sylvia urged them
to go to their father, Isabel dragged Liam behind her and went to find Odell.
After they left, Sylvia recollected hersell. She sat on the sofa and stayed there while Aunt Tonya
followed the kids outside
After a stretch, she came back into the living room, probably because Isabel and Liam had left with
Odell. She asked in a slightly puzzled manner, “Sylvia, the kids kept looking back at the house as they
got in the car. Why didn’t you go out to send them off?”
Sylvia stated, “They’ll see me again when they come back tonight, so there was no need to send them
off.”
It was not so much that she did not want to do so; she just wanted to avoid seeing Odell again. After
all, it was important to set a clear boundary after their divorce. Unless it was to settle matters directly
concerning their children, there was no need for them to meet. Aunt Tonya had a hint of what was on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia’s mind, so she just sighed and decided against giving an opinion.
Meanwhile, the car was coasting down the lane. Odell was seated in the backseat with Isabel and
Liam. He glanced at the rearview mirror.
Through the rearview mirror, he caught the reflection of Sylvia’s house. He still could not spot Sylvia
emerging from the house.
Aunt Tonya must have gone inside already, and it seemed like Sylvia had no intention of sending the
children off. “Hey, baddie, where are you taking us today?” Isabel suddenly crawled up to him. Odell
wiped away the worrisome look in his eyes and took Isabel into his arms. Isabel responded very well to
this gesture. She leaned her weight against his arm, and wrapped her short arms around him, then
fixed a curious stare at him.
He flashed a subtle smile and answered, “I’m taking you two somewhere fun.” “What kind of fun
place?” “You’ll know when you get there.” Isabel’s eyes shone with excitement as she turned to look out
the car window. What Odell said had piqued her interest, so she became restless and could not sit still
on his lap anymore. After a while, she crawled to the other window to peer out.
Odell would grab at her shirt from time to time to prevent her from losing balance and falling off the
seat. Meanwhile, Liam had not uttered a word since he got into the car. He was very stoic and sat
motionlessly.
