Isabel rarely spoke nicely to Odell. He immediately lowered his eyes to look at her.The little girl craned her neck, her chubby little face pressing on his chin. Her bright eyes stared at him, full of expectation.Odell smiled. "Sure, but you have to call me Daddu first."Isabel's expression instantly changed as she snorted at him.Liam, who was standing on the other side, instantly cried, "Daddy."Odell was speechless.Liam looked at him expectantly. "There, I called you. Can you let me see Mommy now?"The corners of Odell's mouth twitched. 'This kid is really an opportunist.'After a moment, he said, "Say it two more times."Liam immediately said, "Daddy, Daddy."Odell smiled and let go of his head to give him the binoculars.Liam immediately climbed onto the sofa, stepped on it, took the binoculars, and looked toward Sylvia.Odell carried Isabel into his arms, looking at her watery eyes when she looked at her brother. He smiled and touched her fleshy face, saying, "If y
However, not long after, Odell picked them up and carried them away.The large terrace was suddenly empty, and Sylvia's chest also suddenly felt bereft.However, it was only for a moment. She put away the binoculars and turned her wheelchair back into the house.The reason why Odell did not let her see the children was that he thought that she had something to do with Tristan and that she wanted to be the young madam of the Ledger family. He thought that she needed to hook up with a man to live a good life.However, after the awards ceremony this afternoon, Bruce and Catherine already figured out that someone as powerful as her did not need to live off a man at all.She would go find Alister tomorrow morning and bring her to Odell to tell him how Tara bribed her.Then, he should finally believe that she and Tristan were innocent. He would let her meet the children.Just after she entered the house, Odell finished carrying Isabel and Liam to their room and came back out.He retu
Odell frowned coldly and asked, "What did she ask you to do?""She asked me to help her spy on Sylvia secretly, and tell her as soon as Sylvia does anything, especially if I see Mr. Ledger coming to her. She told me to take as many photos as possible, preferably photos of Sylvia and Mr. Ledger flirting..." Alister panicked and confessed to all the tasks that Tara told her to do. She said anxiously, "Master Carter, that's all I did for her. I didn't do anything else."Odell's face was cold and silent for a moment before he asked her, "Did you also take that photo of Tristan hugging Sylvia?"Alister searched her memory and said, "Yes. I saw Mr. Ledger rushing to Sylvia, so I took it secretly. However, I deliberately chose that angle. Mr. Ledger let Sylvia go very quickly. She was obviously unhappy at the time, but he was elated for some reason. He asked whether she rejected him because his mother approached her, but she said no. He did not seem to believe her but left quickly."After
He finished the call not long after and reached out to Sylvia. "This way, Ms. Ross."Sylvia followed him to the elevator.The elevator went straight up to the top floor.Cliff sent her to the door of the large office and left after pushing open the door.Sylvia turned her wheelchair and went in.Inside the spacious office, Odell was sitting on the leather chair behind the desk. He wore a black dress shirt that hugged his broad shoulders and his narrow waist. The color of his shirt also made his originally indifferent disposition much colder, so much so that people did not dare to approach him.When Sylvia looked at him, his deep gaze was already locked on her.She continued to wheel herself in without changing her expression. She stopped at his desk and asked, "Why did you meet Alister? Did she tell you about the things that Tara ordered her to do?"Odell looked at her in silence for a moment before asking, "Why do you want to see me?"Sylvia said bluntly, "I want to see the c
Sylvia choked on her breath and asked, "Tell me what I did wrong first."Odell gave her a side glance. "In the essay, remember to explain to me clearly why you concealed your identity as Sunflower from me."Sylvia was flabbergasted.'It's because I didn't tell him I was Sunflower?'She protested, "You never asked me.""Just because I didn't ask you, it doesn't mean you can hide it."Sylvia was puzzled. "Why not? Who are you to me? Why do I have to tell you about this?"The reason why she did not want to say anything was that she wanted to live in peace and quiet.However, the moment she said that, Odell's expression darkened.Sylvia felt the temperature around her plummet. She shrunk and looked at him in confusion. She did not scold him and was just telling the truth.Why was he suddenly upset?He looked at her coldly.After a while, he said, "It's true that you're no one to me, but you're Isabel and Liam's mother. Because you hid it from me, you indirectly made me misunder
She simply said, "Fine, it was because I couldn't hold back. Why don't you spit at me in return?"Odell scoffed in disgust. "Do you think I'm as vulgar as you?""Then, you can just continue being angry."Odell was speechless. His throat choked up, and his gaze clouded. His hand cupping her chin also could not help but increase in strength.She frowned in pain and immediately pried his hand away. "Let go."He refused.Sylvia felt like her jaw was about to be crushed by him. She could not help but raise her face toward him again. "If you're angry, then spit at me. You can spit as much as you want. I won't say that you're vulgar."'Just stop pinching my chin!'Her little face was bright with a natural blush. When she raised her head, her eyes were narrowed, and her red lips were pursed. She put on a brave look as if saying, 'Hurry up and spit. I can take it no matter how much you spit at me.'Odell's eyes were cold. Then, in an instant, he bowed his head toward her.The next sec
Sylvia was so embarrassed that her face turned red.Odell curled her lips, a pleasant smile in his eyes.Sylvia suddenly grew angrier. She raised her hand to wipe her mouth again.Odell asked in a low voice, "Do you want to be kissed by me again?"Her action froze, and she immediately put her hand back. When he saw her like this, the corners of his mouth curled up again.Sylvia could not help but glare at him.'Did he get tired of Tara after being with her for so long? Or is he doing this to deliberately get back at me? No matter what it is, nothing is more important than Isabel and Liam.'Now that he was pleased, she said to him, "I want to see Isabel and Liam."Odell leaned on the desk in front of her, folded his arms, and looked at her. "Write a 10,000-word reflective essay, and I'll let you see them."Sylvia said coldly, "I didn't do anything wrong. I won't write it.""Then, you won't see them."Sylvia wanted to explode for a moment. There was no way she would write a re
Sylvia moved forward.She had slept very late last night and was a little tired now. She moved to his desk, placed the turtle aside, and fell asleep on the table.After an unknown amount of time, the office door was finally pushed open.When Odell strode in, he saw a few rays of sunlight streaming in through the curtains and falling on the figure of her sleeping form.He paused for a moment before coming in.Silently, he sat back in the chair behind the desk.Sylvia sat opposite him, lying on his desk. Her sleeping face faced him. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her appearance when she was asleep was obviously cuter and more pleasing than when she was awake.A while later, a wooden turtle at the corner of the table behind her head came into his sight.He took it in his hand and caressed it a few times.Her carving skills were indeed very good. The simple lines were well defined, and its small eyes were very round. It looked quite adorable. He could not help but flip it over
