Chapter 930
So that‘s what it was, Sylvia thought. She immediately kissed Isabel and Liam‘s cheeks respectively.
Both of the children returned the favor and planted a kiss on her cheeks as well.
Their bodies had a sweet scent that Sylvia could smell when they came in close for the kiss. The texture of their lips
were soft to touch.
Sylvia felt an indescribable sense of joy welling inside of her when they kissed her.
She smiled as she had never smiled before, and that was when a tall figure suddenly approached from behind.
The man was wearing a black tailored suit and stood tall like a giant over the children. It was impossible to not
notice him.
When Sylvia looked at him, she saw his dark eyes sweeping over her with a tender and affectionate look within
them.
She felt her cheeks glowing red hot as she greeted him shyly,” Good morning.”
With a subtle smile on his face, he said, “Good morning.”
“Do you have any plans for today?” He asked.
She blurted out, “I don‘t think so. I‘m probably just going to stay at home.”

She had gone through the contacts on her phone and found that she had lost contact with most of the friends she
had known from nine years ago. The only close friend she knew on the list was Sherry, but she had not been
replying to any of the texts that she had sent over the last two days. It was as if Sherry had vanished off the face of
the earth.
“I have something to attend to in the afternoon but I should be free by evening,” Odell informed.
Sylvia was not really what he meant by this so she just softly said, “Oh”.
Odell pursed his lips, “Stay at home and wait for me. I‘ll take you shopping when I get back.”
“Huh?” Sylvia thought her ears were deceiving her and asked,” Why are you taking me shopping?”
Odell glanced at Liam and Isabel who were still standing between them and instructed them, “You two, go
downstairs.”
Isabel‘s round eyes moved back and forth between her parents, before she left with her brother just as she was
told to.
Odell stepped inside.
In one large step, he stopped in front of Sylvia, his presence was impossible to be denied.
Sylvia subconsciously tried to step back, but Odell managed to grab her just in time.
He caressed the back of her head softly with the large palm of his hand and repeated, “I‘m taking you shopping this
evening.”
Sylvia‘s eyes widened in disbelief.
Even though Odell was different from the version she knew from nine years ago, the one who was hostile and even
repulsed by her, it still did not seem like he was the type to want to go shopping.
Besides, he was the leader of an organization as heralded as the Carter Corporation. Surely, he had a mountain of
things to deal with day in and day out.
She could not believe it and even felt reluctant to accept his offer.
“It‘s alright, you don‘t have to worry about me. I‘ll just stay at home with the kids.” She remarked with a smile.
Odell‘s face darkened gradually.
Sylvia tried to draw away but could not as Odell was still holding onto the back of her neck.
She asked cautiously, “What‘s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
“Nothing.” It suddenly occurred to him that she had no recollection of the bond they had formed over the last nine
years. Once again, there was a gap between them.
He gently brushed the back of her head and asked, “Don‘t you like shopping?”
“Hmm.” She muttered without giving it much thought.

“Okay.” She muttered again.
She was very well–behaved, just like Isabel and Liam.
The darkness in his eyes seemed to pulse. He slowly drew his arm away, then turned and walked out.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not that she refused to be intimate with him. Aunt Tonya had told her about everything that had happened
between the two of them over the last nine years, but everything sounded like something that had happened to
another person instead of something she had truly experienced for herself. It was difficult to become immediately
intimate with someone who was essentially still a stranger to her.
After breakfast, Odell left the house.
Liam and Isabel‘s tutors arrived shortly after to give the two of them lessons.
Sylvia spent time with Flint in the living room.
After she played with him for a while, he got tired and fell asleep.
Left with nothing else to do, Sylvia turned on the television and watched some of the latest popular shows to while
away her time.
The living room was quiet except for the sounds from the TV.
