NovelEnglishChapter 778
The night passed quickly, and Sylvia came to the old Carter mansion early in the morning the next day
again.
Today, a tutor came to give the two little kids their lessons.
Sylvia played with them all morning and accompanied them to class in the afternoon.
After the teacher left, she urged them to do their homework.
Liam had always been someone who would do it without any prompting, so she did not have to
manage him at all. On the contrary, as soon as Isabel was asked to do her homework, she tried to think
of ways to slack off, as she rolled around and acted like a spoiled child. Sylvia could not bear to be
fierce to her at all, but after Liam gave her a stern look, she finally agreed to do her homework.
It was only when it was time for dinner that she finished the homework assigned by the tutor with
Liam’s assistance.
Odell also came back from work at this time.
Although he was cold to her, he did not do anything to drive her away, so Sylvia stayed for dinner, put

Ben sent her back again.
Several days passed in the same way.
That morning, Sylvia came to the old Carter residence after having breakfast. Coincidentally , she saw
Odell just as she arrived outside the residence.
He was wearing a straight suit, which emphasized his strong figure and handsome appearance. Even
though she knew his face by heart, she still could not help her heart from beating faster when she saw
him. Her cheeks heated up as well.
“Hi, good morning.” She took the initiative to smile at him.
Odell gave her an indifferent look as he replied, “Hm.”
Then, he walked past her.
These past few days, Sylvia had already gotten used to being ignored by him, so she simply pursed
her lips and headed inside.
As soon as she walked through the door, two small figures bounded over to her like little rabbits.
“Mommy!” Isabel shouted sweetly as she ran as fast as she could.
Seeing how adorable they were, Sylvia immediately forgot about Odell’s cold eyes and smiled at them,
opening her arms to them.
Just outside, Odell had just gotten into his car.
He casually lowered the car window and gazed at the three of them deeply. The corners of his lips
curved up, and he waited for them to go inside before saying, “Drive.”
The driver immediately started the car.
The black MPV drove smoothly in the direction of the city.
Ding!
Not long after, his phone suddenly rang. He took the phone out of his pocket, looked at the screen, and
brought the phone to his ear with a frown on his face. On the phone, Lily’s gentle yet lively voice rang
out.” Good morning, Master Carter. Are you busy?” “Do you need something?” he asked directly.
Lily hesitated before saying, “It’s nothing important. I just want to ask if you’re free tonight. Can you
make up for the dinner that you owed me from last time?”
“I’m not available tonight.”
“How about tomorrow night?”

“Then when will you be free?”
Odell was silent for a moment. “I don’t really have much free time lately.”
Lily chuckled and said, “As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be anything big happening at Carter
Corporation recently. You’re not trying to avoid having that meal with me, are you?”
“There’s nothing going on at the company, but I have things to do at home.”
She hesitated for a second and asked, “May I ask what’s going on at home?”
Odell frowned and looked a little impatient. “I have to watch the children study.”
Lily was speechless.
She choked for several seconds before uttering, “I see. I apologize for bothering you.”
Odell hung up immediately.
Meanwhile, in the Springsteen residence.
Seeing that she had been hung up on, Lily frowned in displeasure.
Madam Springsteen was sitting next to her. When she saw the unpleasant expression on Lily’s face,
she immediately asked, “What happened? What did Master Carter say to you?” Lily clutched her phone
as she said unhappily, “He said he has to stay home to watch the children study and isn’t available to
have dinner with me.”
