NovelEnglishChapter 534
It was evening, and the sky was gradually darkening. Sylvia was painting in the studio when Isabel’s
cheerful voice tore through the quaint space of the house.
“Mommy, we’re back!”
Sylvia got up and went to the window to see Isabel running in from outside. She was holding two
trinkets that looked like toys in her hands, and she waved them around as she ran.
The toy would catch and reflect light occasionally.
Meanwhile, Liam had also stepped out of the car. His demeanor was a sharp contrast to
Isabel’s. He tucked his hands into his pockets and walked calmly and silently.
The driver then closed the door. The man in the car did not get out.
Sylvia glanced at the car before turning and walking out of her room. When she arrived at the living
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroom, Isabel had already run in. “Mommy, look! I won these balls from some skinny guy today!” She
showed off the two colored balls in her hands to Sylvia.
Sylvia smiled and praised her, “Great job, Isabel.”
“Look, they can even sing,” Isabel said as she flicked a switch. The two trinkets immediately began
playing a familiar and cheerful nursery rhyme. Sylvia smiled, then looked at Liam who had just walked
into the living room. He was very quiet as usual. There was not a hint of expression on his face.
Sylvia asked, “Liam, did you have a good time with your sister and Daddy today?” Liam muttered,
“Yeah.” Sylvia walked up to him, looked at his face up close, and asked again, “Are you sure you’re
happy?” Liam fixed his thoughtful eyes on her and said, “I would be happier if Mommy had been there
as well.”
Sylvia felt her heart drop. Then, she stated, “Well, I am free tomorrow, so I’ll take you two somewhere.”
Liam pursed his lips. “Okay.”
Isabel did not get up until almost noon the next day. She seemed to be all worn out from spending time
with Odell yesterday. Liam, on the other hand, seemed rather drained. Sylvia took them out after lunch.
They went to a nearby heritage street where they gorged on delicious food and returned home only
when it was getting dark The day passed in the blink of an eye.
The following day, Sylvia took them to kindergarten as usual After watching them enter through the
gate while holding hands, she turned around and left, and went straight to the art academy
Today was her first day working at the art academy
Upon arrival, she was received by a teacher tasked to attend to her. Christopher showed up as well
and led her to her new office. It was a very pleasant office that almost seemed homely, She was given
a complete set of painting tools along with cominon office supplies.
After Christopher showed her the office, he turned to her with a welcoming smile, “Sylvia, if there’s
anything you need at all, just let me know.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia returned a smile and thanked him, “Sure, thank you.”
“Haha, no need to be so formal with me. It is an honor to have you teach at our academy.”
They exchanged a bit of small talk before Christopher eventually left
Sylvia looked at the timetable. She had two classes scheduled in the afternoon and no assigned
classes in the morning.
Although she had come to the academy to conduct talks with the students several times in the past,
this would be her first time officially giving lectures. She wanted to make sure that she was well-
prepared, so she sat down and focused on preparing her lectures, The morning went by in the blink of
an eye. By the time she took her eyes off her tasks, it was already lunchtime. She got up and walked
outside. As soon as she stepped out of her office, she heard some commotion coming from a certain
direction. She noticed a group of female teachers crowding around someone and merrily chanting, “Mr.
Carter, let’s have lunch together later!” “Mr. Carter, you must be bored by yourself. Let’s go watch a
movie together at night.” Meanwhile, Mr. Carter, who was the center of their attention, seemed to be
moving toward Sylvia
