Chapter 887
Sylvia took a ride to Westchester’s New District. The New District had actually been considered a suburb a few
years ago. However, due to rapid development, there were a lot more people and traffic passing through the area
now.
She had come to the New District to lure Thomas out.
Bowman had found traces of Thomas’ activities, all of which had led to this part of the city. He strongly believed
that Thomas was in the district.
He had no other way of luring Thomas out other than using Sylvia as bait. He instructed her to take a stroll in the
New District in the hopes that it might catch Thomas’ attention.
Sylvia got out of the car and started wandering around along the sidewalk.
Pretty soon, she came to a retro-looking bar.
Having caught her attention, she decided to go inside.
The owner of the bar, a young lady, personally welcomed her when she came in.
Sylvia was not much of a drinker but she wanted to pretend that she had come to have a drink as a means to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdrown her sorrows.
She ordered a fruit wine with a low alcohol percentage and some snacks.
After seeing that nothing had happened even after she had sat
te for a few hours, she decided to leave.
Fowman had said that Thomas would not be that easily fooled and that it might cause suspicion if Sylvia sat there
for too long
The day went by quickly.
The next day, Sylvia came to the same bar and sat for hours again.
Nothing happened again, so she decided to leave again.
Later that night, after Sylvia had put Isabel and Liam to sleep and carried Flint to her room, she received a text on
her phone when she returned to her room.
“Is he treating you badly?”
Flint was asleep and Odell was working late.
The room was quiet with only one lamp switched on.
Sylvia clutched her phone with trembling fingers : [ Who is this? ]
(Thomas)
Immediately, she took a screenshot of the text and sent it to Bowman
Bowman replied almost instantly: ( He should have found out by now that you went to the bar in the past two days,
so please go there again tomorrow. I believe he will approach you soon. Don’t worry, I have assigned undercover
men to protect you. He won’t be able to hurt you.)
Sylvia’s heart pounded wildly. (Okay.)
After thinking about it, she decided to reply to Thomas. [ It’s none of your business. ]
She switched off her phone and carried Flint to the bed.
Perhaps due to her nervousness at the plan that she had to carry out the next day, she could not sleep.
She was still unable to sleep when she heard the familiar footsteps coming into the room.
The door opened, and the man in the suit walked into the room with his long legs.
Sylvia sat up with Flint in her arms.
Odell narrowed his eyes. “Why aren’t you asleep?”
“I can’t sleep,” she said.
“Is our baby giving you a hard time?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell walked over to the bed and looked at Flint who she was holding in her arms.
Sylvia shook her head.
“Then why?” He asked with a sharp but gentle gaze at her.
Sylvia avoided his gaze and begrudgingly said, “I want to hug you to sleep.”
Odell grinned. He lifted her chin for a kiss. “Wait for me. I’ll take a shower and be back soon.”
Sylva pursed her lips and hummed in reply.
The shower did not last long and before she knew it, Odell came out in his robe.
The dim lighting highlighted the contours of his body. The neckline of the robe exposed his broad, strong chest.
First, he carried Flint over to the crib before he got into bed with Sylvia.
Sylvia immediately snuggled into his arms like a kitten.
Shortly after, she fell asleep. Perhaps it was due to the fragrance of her shampoo or the warmth of his body that
soothed her mind.
However, the man was aroused as soon as she lay in his arms.
Just when he was about to take her clothes off, he began to hear her steady breathing.
Glancing at the time, he noticed that it was almost midnight.
He sighed.
‘Fine. I’ll come back home early tomorrow night and be with you then.’ :
