NovelEnglishChapter 604
Not long after they arrived at the amusement park, Isabel let loose and dragged Liam all over the park.
After playing the whole day and eating her favorite food, it was finally dark. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya
brought the children back home. It was also on the way back that Sylvia saw a message from the Art
Academy teachers’ group chat.
The messages were from several young female teachers. One message, in particular, caught her eye.
“Why did Mr. Carter quit the group?” Another person replied, “I saw that too. Why did he leave the
group for no reason?” “Does anyone know what happened? @ChristopherDendro” Christopher, who
was tagged, soon replied, “Mr. Carter resigned for personal reasons, so he quit the group.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Huh? Why did he suddenly resign?” “What a shame. He was the most attractive person in the Art
Academy.” “With his face, he could be the most attractive person in showbiz as well.”
The young female teachers discussed this sadly.
Sylvia frowned.
‘Why did Thomas resign now out of all times?’
She could not help but remember Odell’s terrible and gloomy face when he left in the morning.
‘Did he do something that forced Thomas to leave the Art Academy?’ She did not think any further and
called Thomas straight. The line rang three times before connecting. Sylvía asked directly, “Thomas,
why did you suddenly resign?” He was silent for a moment before replying, “I didn’t want to work there
anymore.”
His voice was dull
Sylvia looked at Isabel and Liam, who were already asleep beside her, and lowered her voice to ask,
“Did Odell go to you?”
He did not say anything. Her chest felt stuffy. “I’m sorry, Thomas, It was my fault.” ‘il I hadn’t said those
words to Odell in a fit of anger, he wouldn’t have troubled Thomas.’ He replied, “It’s okay, I only took
this job to pass the time anyway, so it’s fine.” His tone was much more relaxed than before.
Sylvia still felt guilty. After thinking about it, she said, “I’ll go to him later to make things clear.”
Although she did not want to see him again, she had to explain that nothing was going on between
Thomas and her.
“No need. I’m already glad that you called me.” After a pause, he added, “You’ll only end up unhappy if

Sylvia’s throat choked up. For a while, she did not know what to say.
“Don’t feel guilty, Sylvia. This job isn’t important to me. The most important thing to me is you.” His
voice was light and gentle like a bubbling stream. It was very pleasant. However, Sylvia frowned. Since
he said that, it was impossible for her to continue playing dumb.
She said, “Thomas, I… I’m not worth it.”
She was divorced with children, but that was not the point. Most importantly, he used to be her brother-
in-law.
He was silent for a few seconds before saying, “You’re worth it.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. He said, “Remember to take your medicine and rest early tonight.”
She replied, “Okay. You rest early too.”
The call ended. She breathed out and placed the phone back into her pocket. At that moment, the car
stopped in front of her house. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya carried Isabel and Liam out of the car.
Outside the gate, a professional locksmith had also just arrived and was waiting for her.
