NovelEnglishChapter 540
The weekend passed in the blink of an eye. On Monday morning, Sylvia took Isabel and Liam to
kindergarten, and after dropping them off, she went to the academy.
The weather was getting cold, and there was already a sheet of ice floating atop the surface of the lake
near the school.
Sylvia walked in the direction of the office.
The surface of the steps on the stairs was glittering because someone had spilled water on the stairs.
After taking two steps up the stairs, Sylvia slipped and felt her body toppling backward. She was thrown
off guard instantly and nearly shrieked when suddenly, she felt an arm reaching from behind and
wrapping itself around her waist.

She was already thrown off balance as she fell backward into a broad and muscular chest. “Are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalright?” She heard the voice of a man filled with concern. She composed herself and quickly stood up
and thanked her savior with a smile, “I’m fine. Thanks, Thomas.” Thomas cautioned, “Be careful. The
floor is wet.” “Alright,” Sylvia answered and walked up cautiously this time. While Thomas followed after
her and walked by her side, his arm was pressed against her nearly the entire time.
Sylvia shot him a look
Due to the condition of the stairs, she had to walk at a turtle pace and move forward with him next to
her side. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, she promptly quickened her pace to create some distance
between herself and Thomas.
When they got to her office door, she looked back at him and said to him with a smile,”
Thanks for saving me just now.I’m going to work now. Have a good day.” Thomas provided a
nonchalant response, “Alright.” As Sylvia hurried into her office, Thomas glanced in the direction of the
stairs and entered his office as well.

Sylvia sat down and shook her head to awaken her senses. She must be overthinking this. Thomas
had only walked up the stairs with her as a precautionary measure in case she fell
again.
Meanwhile, at the stairwell, the female janitor appeared. She frowned as she looked at the water
sprinkled over the stairs and muttered to herself in bewilderment, “That’s weird. I just cleaned it up.
Where did all this water come from?”
Around noon the same day, Sylvia received a message from Christopher.
He told her that there would be a seminar on Saturday that a lot of the teachers in the academy would
be taking part in it, and in turn, invited her to join. Sylvia figured that Odell would pick up the children on
Saturday, so she promptly confirmed her attendance. Shortly after that, she received a message from
Thomas.
He asked, “Are you going to the seminar on Saturday?” Sylvia texted back, “I’m going. Are you?” He
replied, “Yeah, probably.” “Okay, see you at the seminar then.” “Yeah.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as Sylvia predicted, on Saturday morning, Odell’s car showed up as usual.
Snow was falling from the sky.
Sylvia ensured that Isabel and Liam had thick layers of padded clothes before sending them off.
Isabel suddenly pouted and asked her, “Mommy, are you not going out with us today again?”
Liam stayed silent and only regarded her with an expectant look. Sylvia explained with a soft smile,
“Mommy needs to attend a seminar held at the school today, so I can’t go out with you two.”
Isabel grunted. “Hmph, why do you have to join these events every Saturday?”
Sylvia pinched Isabel’s chubby cheeks playfully and tried to appease her, “Be good, Isabel. Your Daddy
will take you and your brother somewhere fun today. Go on, go with your brother.”
Isabel’s eyes glowed at the prospect of going somewhere fun, but immediately after that, she grumbled
again, “If you don’t come and play with us the next time, I’m going to get angry.”
Sylvia grimaced weakly. She was about to say something to Isabel when Liam suddenly interjected,
“Sis, if we still don’t leave, the snow is going to pile up on the road.” “Okay, let’s go!” Isabel grabbed
Liam and ran out. Liam glanced at Sylvia. “Bye, Mommy.”
