Chapter 536
Sylvia gave a troubled look They walked out of the restaurant together and strolled along a path
leading back to the academy Sylvia spoke her mind, “Thomas, please let me pay the bill next time.”
Although she was divorced from Odell, she still considered Thomas her younger brother
Furthermore, he had rescued her not once but twice in her times of greatest need She simply did not
loow how she could ever repay the favor she owed him, and she certainly could not have Thomas
paying for her food
“Yeah.” He grunted.
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, they reached the academy office, beside which was his office
After saying their goodbyes, the two of them went back to their respective offices.
Since Sylvia did not teach academic courses, her classes had a looser structure.
She had prepared everything in advance, and the students had very good dynamics with her as well.
The two classes she taught turned out to be very relaxing and productive.

head to the kindergarten to pick up Isabel and Liam.
However, she stumbled into Thomas again when she was leaving her office
He wore a crear-colored coat over his white shirt, the drape of the fabric perfectly complementing his
lanky figure. He could easily pass for a model. Sylvia asked him with a smile, “Thomas, are you done
for the day as well?”
“Yeah.”
“Where do you stay?” “I stay in the school dormitory.” After a pause, he looked at her and asked, “What
about you?”
“I live in the area.” Sylvia looked at the time and saw that she was running late, so she hurriedly said to
him, “See you. I need to pick Isabel and Liam up from kindergarten.”
“See you.”
Sylvia turned and trotted in the direction of the stairs,
Thomas stood like a statue and quietly observed her figure from behind.

Sylvia arrived at the kindergarten just as their classes ended.
Isabel and Liain walked out together holding hands as usual. They trotted toward Sylvia the
moment they saw her
Delighted to see them, she kissed them on the checks and took them home
As always, Sylvia played with thein for a wuleafter dinner, then she told them bedtime stories and
waited until they fell asleep before heading back to her room
In Carter Tower, Westchester City, it was already midnight, but the lights in the office on the top floor
were still turned on
There was a tall figure of a man sitting on a leather chair, illuminated by the ceiling hghts After
reviewing the final document, he looked at the watch on his wrist He zipped his lips into a line and
swung the chair around to face the window He looked at the night view of the city. the tint in his eyes as
black as the night sky
Knock knock
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was someone at the door
Odell called out, “Come in.” Cliff opened the door and walked in cautiously
“Master Carter, you’ve already arranged everything for the next half month Do you want to go back and
get some rest?” Odell pursed his lips, “How are things over there looking like Cliff did not need any
further elaboration to know that he was talking about Sylvia
Since he and Sylvia divorced, he had been in the office almost every day from top to bottom. everyone
from the managers to the janitors was wracked with nerves, knowing that they had to face the man
every hour of the day.
Upon hearing this, he informed in a servile way, “Noi much, the missus stays home most of the time as
usual. She went to the art academy today. It seems like she was recently recruited as a guest professor
at the academy”
Guest professor? That was hardly surprising. With her talent and reputation, she was more than
qualified to become a guest professor.
A glimpse of a grin appeared in the corners of his thin lips as he informed, “I’ll be sleeping here tonight
as well, so you can head back.”
Chiff answered curtly. “Yes, sir”
Sylvia only had two classes a week at the acadeiny, one on Monday and the other on Thursday. thus
she had plenty of time to herself
