NovelEnglishChapter 584
A few days later. Early that morning, the bright sunshine spread all over the land.
The snow that had blanketed the ground melted away as the weather warmed up.
Sylvia was still asleep when she was woken up by Isabel. Her little hands tugged at Sylvia as she
yelled, “Mommy, get up. We’re going to play outside with Baddie today!”
Sylvia opened her eyes.
Not only did Isabel come into view, but she also spotted Odell and Liam standing by the door.
Both father and son were looking at her while standing in the same posture.
Sylvia instantly became alert and sat up.
Subconsciously, she wanted to say that she already had plans and tell them that they could go play by
themselves. However, for some reason, her words got stuck in her throat.
As if she could guess that she might say that she had something else to do, Isabel quickly crossed her
arms as she pouted and spoke crossly to Sylvia, “Mommy, I’m gonna be angry if you don’t play with us
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoday!” Sylvia pursed her lips.
By the door, Odell and Liam continued to stare at her.
She had no choice but to say, “Okay.”
“Yay!” The little girl immediately beamed from ear to ear.
Sylvia helplessly laughed.
Liam’s quiet and wide eyes lit up, and Odell’s lips also curved into a small smile.
Sylvia’s leg had more or less healed so she quickly washed up and got dressed. After having a quick,
simple breakfast, Sylvia and Odell led the little ones out the door.
Isabel wanted to ski, watch a movie, and have some delicious food.
Thus, they went to the ski resort in the morning and ate the little girl’s favorite BBQ for lunch. Then,
they went to the movie theater and watched two movies consecutively, only coming out when it was
almost dark.
Isabel was so tired that she fell asleep on Odell’s shoulder.
Liam was feeling lethargic and was obviously tired as well.
Sylvia picked him up and said to Odell, “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
Perhaps knowing that they were returning, dinner had already been laid on the table by the
time Sylvia and Odell came back with the children. Just by the smell of the food, Sylvia knew that it had
been prepared by the chef that Odell had engaged previously
Odell was just about to place Isabel on the sofa to let her sleep a while longer when she smelled the
food and opened her eyes. She looked at the table eagerly and refused to let go of his collar Thus, he
carried her over to the dining table. Sylvia also carried Liam, who was still awake, over. She called Aunt
Tonya as well, and they all ate together.
However, halfway through the meal, Odell’s phone rang. He glanced at Sylvia. “You guys continue
eating.”
Then, he got up and went to the door to answer the phone.
The night outside was very dark. Sylvia could not hear his voice, but she saw him pacing back and
forth several times.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe suddenly remembered their first marriage many years ago.
There had been a period of time where he had constantly fought with his stepmother. Back then, he
had constantly been on his phone while at home. There had been numerous times when he had paced
back and forth like this when answering the phone.
A wave of unease rushed up.
She pursed her lips and suppressed the uneasiness.
It had been many years since he had taken over the Carter Corporation, so his position should already
be stable. Surely, he was not facing a problem now.
A short while later, he turned around and walked back into the room.
Sylvia looked up and saw that his expression had become a little cold.
She subconsciously asked, “Did something happen?” Odell composed his emotions and said, “There’s
a slight situation at the office, so I’ll have to go over to deal with it. You should rest early tonight.
There’s no need to wait for me.” Sylvia hummed in reply. He said nothing more. Then, he picked up his
jacket, and walked out. Sylvia clenched her fists.
He was not an ordinary man. There was likely not much that he would not be able to solve.
