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
Odell continued to eat, moving gracefully and slowly. At the rate he was eating, he would only finish the meal at night.Sylvia really wanted to grab some of the food.However, she also had her dignity.After a moment of depression, she first sent a message to Tom, asking him to pick up Aunt Tonya, and ordered him to get takeaway for herself.The Elysian House's take-out only served super VIP customers, so Sylvia naturally could not order it. Thus, she ordered an extra-large serving of stew from another restaurant.The stew was made quickly and delivered less than half an hour after she placed the order. She wrote the consignee's name as Odell.Thus, when the meal arrived, the receptionist had it brought up directly."Master Carter, the stew you ordered has arrived." The staff pushed open the door.Odell was stunned.Sylvia quickly said, "It's mine. Thanks for bringing it up for me."The staff froze but still gave the meal to Sylvia, and then swiftly retreated.Sylvia immedi
The washroom was large and spacious. It was very luxurious.After relieving herself, Sylvia washed her hands, wiped her face, and came out.Someone had clearly come to clean up. Odell's work desk was restored to its previously clean and tidy state. The half pot of stew she had left and the food he did not finish were also gone.Even the air had become much fresher.Odell was reading a book.Sylvia went to his desk again. She looked at the table and asked suspiciously, "Where's the little turtle I carved?"Odell gave her a cold look. "I threw it away."'Whatever. I just carved it for fun, anyway.'Sylvia reached into her bag and quickly found another small square piece of wood.Then, she took out the carving knife again and carved it.Scratch, scratch.The orderly sound of carving immediately resounded in the air again.Odell's expression darkened as he furrowed deeply. His eyes stared sharply at her.Sylvia quickly noticed his gaze.However, she pretended not to see his a
Tara arrived at Carter Tower before 5 p.m.She wore a new sexy and form-fitting red dress with a plush shawl, and her hair was specially styled at a beauty salon. She was dressed exquisitely.However, she could not hide the panic on her face.Odell did not send her a message since he went back last night. Although he seldom took the initiative to find her, she could clearly feel that he did not want to talk to her. Even during the call at noon, his voice had been very cold.Tara paced back and forth anxiously. When she saw Odell coming out of the building, she immediately jogged toward him."Odell!" She ran to his side and took his arm intimately.Odell gave her an indifferent look and took her to the car.The car soon arrived at a restaurant where they went into a quiet room.Tara sat beside him.When the food was brought up, she tenderly served him food.He frowned. "There's no need. I have my own hands."She obediently withdrew her hand.The room fell silent.Odell ate
In order to prevent his stepmother from finding out that his weakness was Tara, he had to maintain a good relationship with Sylvia as husband and wife. He could only hide the fact that Tara was his girlfriend, and they even had to pretend to be unfamiliar when they met.He knew that she suffered a lot in those years.In an instant, his expression eased up. He raised his hands to wrap around her and said, "I won't let you suffer like that again."Tara was secretly relieved when she saw his expression, but she continued to sob. "I know, but I'm just scared. I think that Sylvia has changed a lot. I'm really afraid that she'll steal you away."Odell pursed his lips.That woman had indeed gained a lot of skills, but...He thought of the turtle she carved, and he thought of her figure leaving without looking back after he said that she could see the children. His eyes darkened slightly.He said, "Don't worry, she doesn't have those thoughts about me anymore.""Really?""Yeah."Tara
Sylvia reached out and hugged them.However, since it was inconvenient for her in a wheelchair, she could only bend down and wrap her arms around them. She could not hold them completely in her arms.Nevertheless, she was content to smell their soft milky scent.The two little ones also quickly noticed the wheelchair underneath her.Liam wrinkled his brows and asked, "Mommy, why are you in a wheelchair?"Isabel immediately shouted, "Did Baddie bully you?"Madam Carter also came over and looked at Sylvia with confusion and concern. "Syl, what happened to your legs?"Sylvia smiled at her and said, "I just accidentally fell and sprained my legs. The doctor said I'll be fine after a while."Madam Carter sighed in relief. "That's good."Sylvia said to the little ones, "Isabel, Liam, I'm really fine. I'll be able to walk normally again after recuperating for a while."Isabel's expression was much better when she heard that it was not caused by the baddie.Liam asked, "Did you real
Liam said, “Mommy, let’s just continue chatting. Ignore him.” Isabel nodded along. “Yeah, he’s invisible.” Sylvia could not help but curled her lips into a smile although Odell fired a cold glance at them. Sylvia turned a blind eye at him and said to the two of them, “Liam, Isabel, you guys can continue. What happened after you know the new transfer student?” Isabel pouted with puffy cheeks and said, “I told him to call me boss. Liam and I will take care of him from now on.” Sylvia was rendered speechless. There was a twitch at the edge of her mouth when she secretly glanced at Liam. Liam grinned. His googly eyes were filled with love for his sister. He had no objections to Isabel being their boss. Sylvia chuckled awkwardly. “Then, did he?” “Of course.” Isabel continued her heroic achievements back at school. The whole living room was filled with waves of laughter from the mother and children. The man on the couch was treated as an invisible person. He looked grim f
Sylvia brought the two little rascals to their bedroom and started telling them a bedtime story. Only after the two of them fall asleep did she leave their room. Madam Carter’s words rung in her head, so she went to Madam Carter’s room. Madam Carter was still awake, obviously waiting for her. Sylvia walked in and asked, “Grandmother, what do you want to talk about?” Madam Carter waved, signaling her to come closer. “Syl, come 'ere.” Sylvia wheeled herself closer. Madam Carter held Sylvia’s hand and said, “Tell me, how did you hurt your leg?” “I fell down when I was walking.” Madam Carter refused to believe her excuse. She stared at Sylvia and continued, “Does it have anything to do with Odell?” Sylvia anxiously answered, “No, nothing. He’s not involved.” He was the one who had brought her to the hospital in spite of that unhappy journey. Madam Carter sighed a breath of relief. She said to Sylvia, “If Odell is mean to you, just tell me. I’ll do you justice.” Sylv
