“Mommy!” Flint was the first to bolt up with his tiny legs and wobble over to her.
Sylvia carried him and sat in between the other two.” Issy, Liam, hold on for a while. I want to call Daddy.”
Isabel and Liam put down their toys obediently. Flint looked up at her with his chubby face and glued his eyes to the
phone she held.
It should already be after work hours in Hemingway, so Sylvia tried video-calling Odell.
As the dial tone sounded from the phone, Sylvia and the kids widened their eyes at the screen. A while later, just
when the call was about to reach time off, the call got through.
The man’s handsome face appeared on the screen.

easily melt hearts.
Odell smiled at his wife and kids. “Have you guys eaten?”
Sylvia hummed a reply.
Isabel then said, “Stupid Daddy, we’ve eaten. How about
you?”
Odell slightly pursed his lips. “I’ve eaten some.”
It was at this moment, knocks came from the door, followed by a female’s voice. “Sir, the documents you
requested are here, and so is the dinner you ordered. Will you have it now or on the way back?”

Odell frowned. With an irritated tone, he said, “Go out first.”
Sylvia did not see the woman who spoke, but she heard the woman going out and closing the door. She furrowed
her brows in silence, expressing her annoyance.
Isabel angrily said, “Hmph! Stupid Daddy, you said you’ve eaten!”
Odell regained his warm expression and said, “I haven’t eaten dinner, but I had something to eat, so I’m okay.”
Isabel raised her brow. “Really?” “Yeah. Really.”
Isabel’s anger finally calmed down.
Flint suddenly asked, “What Daddy eat?”
Odell was obviously surprised by the boy’s question. He said, “Daddy ate some bread.”
“Oh-oh-000…”
Odell then looked at Sylvia. “How’re things at home?”
“Everything is fine,” she said. “We went to the theme park today. It was so fun!” Flint blurted once more.
Odell smiled. He then looked at Liam, “Liam, I’ve been busy lately, so help your mother out and take care of your

Liam remained cool. “Understand.”
Isabel immediately said, “I am not a child anymore. I don’t need Liam to take care of me.”
Flint nodded in adherence. “Uhm uhm ulim… me too.”
Odell ignored them and threw his gaze at Sylvia again. “I still have something to do. I’ll call you when I have time.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. “Okay. Take care.” She hung up the call immediately with the intention of not disturbing his
work and dinner.
However, on Odell’s side, he was left hanging with the words ‘I will come back soon’ at the tip of his tongue. He
frowned.
‘Is she mad?’
However, he had indeed been busy lately and had neglected her and the children. He already had plans on how to
make it up to them once he finished his work.
