NovelEnglishChapter 649
Thomas smiled at Sylvia. “There’s this new children’s clubhouse that opened in the new district. There
are all kinds of activities going on there which I think should be very fun for Isabel and Liam.”
With Isabel being so excited, there was no reason that Sylvia should refuse. She turned to Liam and
asked, “Liam, do you want to go?”
He stared blankly at Thomas.
Isabel was worried Liam would not want to go and quickly urged, “Liam, lets’ go. Lets’ go!”
Liam gave a curt answer, “Okay.” Sylvia turned to Thomas and smiled faintly. “Alright Thomas, we’ll
leave in a bit.”
“Alright.”
Just as Thomas described, there were all kinds of fun activities in the children’s clubhouse. There were
even some high-tech installations that offered virtual gaming experiences such as the spacewalk
simulator. Isabel had a blast. Even Liam enjoyed some of the simulations. There was also an escape

managed to effortlessly solve the puzzles. Even Isabel, who was always obsessed with messing
around, managed to find important clues so they could pass the level. Sylvia barely had to contribute
anything and they all made it out.
The day came to a close before they realized it. The sky had darkened by the time they stepped out of
the clubhouse.
Thomas drove in the driver’s seat.
Sylvia and the children were seated in the backseat. The children were worn out from the day’s activity
and fell asleep next to Sylvia shortly after getting in the car.
Even Sylvia was a little exhausted after they left the clubhouse. She was absent-mindedly scrolling
through her phone when she saw another article on Carter Corporation that immediately jolted her
awake.
It was quiet inside the car. She peered outside the car windows and looked at the cityscape at night.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the house.
Thomas turned to the backseat and announced, “Sylvia, we’re here.”
Sylvia immediately recollected herself. They carried a child each and took them back to their room to
settle in for the night.
Then, the two of them went to the living room.
Aunt Tonya smiled very politely and cheerily at Thomas. “Thomas, sit down and have some
tea.”
He answered politely with a friendly smile, “Sure.”
He sat on the couch.
Sylvia was going to walk him out and was not expecting Aunt Tonya to invite Thomas for a cup of tea.
She ended up sitting on the couch as well.
After Aunt Tonya set the brewed tea for them, she informed dutifully, “Take your time, you two. I’m
going out for a walk.”

Sylvia pursed her lips meekly. Thomas turned to her. “You don’t look very good. Are you tired?” She
avoided his gaze and answered, “Maybe a little.”
He drew closer to her, making sure to still keep a respectable, short distance from her. Then he
broached the topic. “Carter Corporation is on the news again. Have you seen it?” She did not lie to him
and grunted, “Yeah.” “Looks like my brother is still shacked up at Lush Heaven.” She frowned. “I guess
so.” As she said this, she felt the cool touch of his fingertips pressed against her brows. She slowly
turned to him and met the soft gaze in his eyes. He was gently massaging her brows and temple.
“You’re frowning. Are you worried about him?
“I’m not,” she said defensively. He smiled. “I won’t be angry. I just don’t want you to be in a bad mood
because of him.” “Thomas, you don’t have to be so good to me, 1 –
Before she could finish, her voice was muffled by his finger pressed against her lips.
She zipped her lips shut.
He looked at her tenderly. “Even though I don’t have a legitimate profession, the projects I have
invested in these years have paid off remarkably well. I also have shares in Carter Corporation, so I
managed to save up a decent amount of money this way. Even if Carter Corporation goes down, I will
do what I can to help Odell. He’s my brother after all.”
