NovelEnglishChapter 238 Blondie frowned and said, “Mr. Price, is there something wrong with this chick? It‘s been
five days, but she hasn‘t even left the house once. She‘s too much of a shut–in.”
Edmund rubbed his chin.
‘Did I scare her off that night?‘
Just then, Grasshead said, “Mr. Price, why don’t we just barge in and grab her?”
Whack!
Blondie slapped him directly. “What era are you living in? Do you want to go back to prison?” “Then
what are we supposed to do? We can‘t keep wasting our time here,” Grasshead grumbled, “Or, we can
catch the two children who come to her every day. She‘ll definitely give in!”
Whack!
Blondie immediately slapped him on the head again. “You‘re out of your f*cking mind! Those two
children are Master Carter‘s! If you‘re tired of living, just jump into the lake by yourself!”
Grasshead covered his head and grumbled, “Then, are we supposed to camp here forever?”
“Shut up!” Edmund shouted coldly.

At that moment, they saw Sylvia coming out of the door. In the driver‘s seat, Edmund took his foot off
the steering wheel.
When Sylvia was about to pass by, he pushed open the car door.
Sylvia was startled and moved to the side.
Edmund jumped out of the car, leaned against it, and looked at her with a grin. The corners of Sylvia‘s
mouth twitched. He said, “Don‘t be scared. I‘m not here to block you this time.” Sylvia asked, “Then
what are you here for?”
“You.” Edmund spat out the cigarette he held between his teeth and continued, “I never let a woman
treat me to a meal. Last time, you paid for our meal, so I have to pay you back ten times the amount.”
“No need. I don‘t care about that.”
Sylvia wanted to see her children and was just about to walk forward.
However, Edmund took two steps in front of her and blocked him.
He was about the same height as Odell but not as slender as him. Edmund‘s muscles were bulkier.
In short, as soon as he stepped forward, he completely blocked Sylvia’s way.
She quickly took a step back.
Edmund looked at her and raised his brows, saying with a displeased expression, “‘You don‘t care, but
I do.”
Sylvia pursed her lips and asked, “Then what do you want?”
“I‘ll buy you ten meals, or I‘ll go shopping with you. I‘ll buy you whatever you want.” He acted like a
tycoon who had all the money in the world.
Sylvia quickly said, “There‘s no need to go shopping. Let‘s talk about having dinner another time. I
really have something urgent to do now. Can you please give way?” Edmund said casually, “Sure, but
you have to give me a definite word. When will you let me buy you dinner?“. “I’m not sure yet. Can we
talk about it when I‘m done with this matter?” “Sure. Give me your contact information. Let‘s talk about
it later.” Edmund extended his hand toward her.
Sylvia was anxious to see the children. She took out her phone and asked for his number, called it, and
left.
Edmund stood in place and read her phone number that was displayed on his call log.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe smiled as he read the numbers.
Sylvia crossed the bridge leading into the old district, walked a little further, and soon arrived outside
the door of the old Carter mansion.
The gate was open. Sylvia immediately walked in. In the spacious living room, she only saw Odell
sitting alone on the sofa.
There was no one else present.
Isabel and Liam were not around.
Sylvia did not look at Odell and stepped toward Isabel and Liam‘s room. “Stop.” The man‘s cold voice
rang out. Sylvia paused, but only for a moment. Then, she quickly walked toward the two little ones‘
room. On the sofa, the man‘s already cold face suddenly clouded over with a layer of gloom. On the
other side, Sylvia swiftly arrived at the children‘s room.
The door was closed.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Then, she held the doorknob and went in.
The small room was clean and tidy, but there was no one inside.
