NovelEnglishChapter 678 What did that mean?
If she bought something for him, would the bodyguards that Odell had assigned here not let her back in
again? “I’m fine. I’m not that hungry,” Thomas said again, his gaze softly looking at her.
Sylvia felt her heart ache from anger. ‘Odell Carter was such an utter pr*ck! ‘He was clearly trying to
starve Thomas to death! ‘How could he do this to his brother?!’ Just as she had become so angry that
she wanted to beat Odell to death, the grip on her hand suddenly loosened. She froze and looked
over.
Seemingly having no more strength to hold her, Thomas placed his hand on his leg and said to her with
a smile, “Sylvia, I’m really glad that you came to see me, but my brother’s temper is volatile. I don’t
want you to be bullied by him because of me anymore. If you really want to help me, just sit down and
chat with me for a while.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia immediately felt guilty. Did he think it was because of him that she was not being bullied by
Odell? It was clear that she was the one who had gotten him into trouble. Even without him, Odell
would’ve done that to her anyway. After all, it was what he had always done.
However, she still turned and sat across from him. If Odell was in control here, it would be challenging
for her to go out and buy him any food. Seeing that the two bodyguards had no intention of coming
down, she lowered her voice and said, “Thomas, let me take you away.” Thomas’ gaze flickered. Then,
he smiled wryly. “I can’t leave.”
Sylvia said, “We can escape while they’re not looking!’
She had only seen two bodyguards since she had come in. There might be some hiding in the
shadows, but their numbers should be few. This villa was so big that there were places to escape and
hide everywhere. As long as she used her brain, she would definitely find a way to get biin out
He shook his head. “Let’s stop talking about this. Look, the moonlight is beautiful today.”
He looked outside as die spoke.
The floor to ceiling, window was very high, and Sylvia turned around to see the moonlight onitsid
Above the villa, the moon was large and round, surrounded by stars. It really looked beautiful.
However, she was currently not in the mood to appreciate it at all. “Sylvia, could you draw me another
painting?” he suddenly asked. Sylvia was stunned for a moment before asking, “What is it that you
want me to draw for you?
Thomas smiled and said, “Just draw the night scene outside at this moment.” She was not in the mood
to paint now. “Thomas, you can’t keep staying here. Let’s find a way out first. When you’re safe, I’ll
paint you whatever you want me to paint.” Thomas sighed in a low voice. “I went on a walk outside
yesterday. Guards have been stationed everywhere that I could possibly go. There’s no way that you
can take me out of here.”
Sylvia froze.

He won’t kill me.”
Then, he smiled and looked at her with a gentle and expectant expression. “Sylvia, I really want to see
you paint. Could you just humor me?” Sylvia pursed her lips. “All right.”
She could not get him out of here at the moment anyway. If painting could make him feel better, then
she would paint.
She quickly went upstairs and retrieved a set of painting tools from the room that she had stayed in
before. Sitting on the ground beside him, she painted the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling
window.
Not long after, Thomas also sat down cross-legged beside her and quietly gazed at her canvas. Sylvia
turned to look at him. His face still looked weak, but he looked much happier than when she had first
seen him. Her depressed mood eased somewhat, and she turned around to continue painting. The
moon tonight was not that round, but it was very bright, reflecting the surrounding sea of glittering stars.
