Sylvia glared at him with a flush. Odell grinned. “This is the punishment for letting him touch your nose.”
Sylvia widened her eyes at him.
Odell then released her hands and waist with a mischievous smile.
Sylvia bolted up and took a few steps back from him. Her eyes remained glaring at him as she said,
“Odell, I can agree to whatever request you come up with today but please follow the terms we agreed
on the divorce papers. Don’t break your promise.” Odell got up. Seemingly in a good mood, he shot an
amused gaze at her and said, “As long as you listen to me, I’ll keep my promise.”
The man strode toward the exit. Sylvia cursed the man in her heart until he completely left her sight.

ones stared at her with their puffy faces. Isabel curiously asked, “Mommy, why are you up already? You
finished talking to the baddie?” Based on all the TV that she had been watching, the girl truly believed
adults must kiss for a long time before separating. She thought she would have to sleep early with her
brother tonight as her mother would be busy kissing her father. “Yeah, we’re done.” Sylvia went over
and sat down beside the girl. Isabel had a glance at the door. “Where’s the baddie?” “He left. He has
work to do.” “Okie dokey,” Isabel murmured with protruded lips. Sylvia stroked her head and then
looked at Liam.
Liam was sitting beside her playing with his little toy. He looked quiet as if he did not hear their
conversation at all.
Liam was a lot more mature than his sister. He barely asked questions or asked to be pampered, so
Sylvia barely had to cheer him up or explain herself out of guilt. She felt relieved to have such an
understanding boy. She accompanied them until they fell asleep before she returned to her own room.
Right before she went into the bathroom for a shower, her phone rang. It was from Thomas.
“Did I scare you today?”
Sylvia was hesitant when she saw the message
“What? What are you talking about?” Sylvia decided to play dumb. If she acknowledged what he said, it
would mean she acknowledged his feelings for her. She could never develop a relationship with
Thomas. She had no intentions to hurt him. He saved her and helped her multiple times. He was not
only a savior to her but also a close friend, like Sherry. After much careful consideration, she decided to

chat ended without a result. Sylvia sighed a breath of relief. “Thomas, good night.” “Good night.” Sylvia
put her phone down and took a shower. Meanwhile outside her house, there was a tall figure standing
under the tree diagonally opposite the street. The street lamp failed to shine through the leaves, hence
leaving the man’s cold expression in the dark He stared at Sylvia’s window with a deep and frosty
gaze.
A quiet night went by. On the second morning, Sylvia woke up without the alarm and she heard giggles
outside the door.
It was Isabel. Sylvia curiously walked to the window, opened it and saw Sebastian, the butler of Carter
residence, outside the yard. Other than Sebastian, Ben, Jacob, and several other bodyguards were
also there playing with Isabel.
The girl was having a great time judging from her ceaseless giggles. Liam was there but he did not join
her. He watched from the side quietly with a delighted expression.
Sylvia was surprised by the visit.
