Tara could not help but be shocked.
Nonetheless, Odell's expression was indifferent without much emotion. It was clear he did not
intend on kicking up a fuss with Aunt Tonya because of her.
Tara swallowed her anger and choked out, Okay."
She walked to her car with her head bowed while her slim figure looked aggrieved and hurt.
Odell watched her get into the car and stepped into the front door. If it were in the past, he would
have warned Aunt Tonya to be more polite to Tara.
However, now... he was not in the mood at all.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, although Isabel and Liam disliked Tara, she still came over every now and
then. However, she usually came when they were away at school.

before leaving.
It was the same today, but she came over a little later than usual. That was because she learned
that Odell was nearby and would probably be back by noon.
She brought the toys she bought for the two children and went to Madam Carter's room.
When she saw the old woman sleeping on the bed, she endured her discomfort and sat there
until it was almost noon.
Soon, through the window, she saw the man walking through the front door.
Her eyes flickered, and she immediately moved the chair over to Madam Carter's side. Then,
she said gently and respectfully, " Grandma, if you can hear me, get well soon. Odell has been in
a bad mood lately, and Isabel and Liam need you very much. They'll be very happy if you wake
up."
Odell had just arrived outside the door.
He stopped in his tracks when he heard her words, and the look in his eyes softened slightly.
Then, he walked in.
Upon hearing his footsteps, Tara turned back to look at him and instantly revealed a surprised
expression. Then, she smiled at him. "Odell, you're back."
"Mm." Odell asked her, "How long have you been here?"
"Not long. It's only a little while."
"It's been hard on you."
Tara quickly said, "No, I just want to help you share the burden."
Odell did not say anything else and sat down at Madam Carter's bedside.
Tara's gaze flickered, and she got up and said, "Since you're back, I'll leave now."
"Have lunch before you go."
Her eyes instantly lit up, but she said hesitantly, "Um... Isabel and Liam don't like me, so I'd
better go."
"They won't be back at noon."
"Okay, then." She secretly curled her lips up.

Not long after that, Violet walked in. She brought clean warm water to wipe the old lady's hands
and feet.
Tara's eyes flickered, and she immediately went forward to take the cloth, saying, "I'll do it."
Violet was shocked. Then, when she saw Odell by the bed, she pursed her lips and retreated to
the side.
Tara rolled up her sleeves and moved diligently to wipe Madam Carter's hands and feet. After
wiping, she said to Odell, "Why don't I come and help take care of Grandma in the future?"
Odell replied, "No need. She has specialists to take care of her."
"I see." She showed a disappointed look, but her heart sighed in relief.
Odell's tone softened as he said to her, "Come and have lunch."
She smiled and answered, "Okay."
Then, she followed him out of the bedroom and into the living room.
Two meals were set on the dining table.
Not long after Odell sat down, he received a call. It seemed to be an urgent matter. After he
finished answering the call, he got up and walked out.
