As soon as she spoke, Odell let go of her face.With disgust on his face, he shouted coldly, "Get out of my sight!"Sylvia went around him and ran out without saying a word.In the blink of an eye, she disappeared outside the door.Odell's tall figure was frozen in place, and his face was dark and sullen.However, his brain seemed to be poisoned. Her voice saying, “Don't tell me that you've fallen for me, your ex-wife” echoed in his mind.Impossible.She was a despicable woman. Even if he wanted to kiss her and do something to her before, it was only because she was a little beautiful.He would never fall in love with a woman like her!...Sylvia went back to her house.Since she came back in such a hurry, her heart was still racing.Her mood was also a little irritable.She went to the bathroom and rinsed her face with cold water to calm her emotions.She thought about it carefully.Before the divorce, she always did everything she could to please him.He was probably
Sylvia suddenly remembered that she promised to go for dinner with him a few days ago.However, what was “Lil Syl”?She thought about it and replied, "Tonight is fine. Where are we going to eat?"Sylvia was not afraid of him. She was just afraid that he would bring people to her place and block her again if he was unhappy.Furthermore, he was a gangster, so he could not be provoked.Edmund replied in seconds, "You choose. I'm fine wherever."Sylvia said, "How about the restaurant I brought you guys to last time?"That way, she could run away easily if anything happened.However, Edmund was displeased. "Do I look that stingy?"Sylvia was speechless and thought, 'Fine, I'm the stingy one.'Edmund quickly said, "Elysian House, 7 p.m. I'll wait for you in the best private room."Elysian House was a bona fide high-end restaurant.Since he wanted to be so extravagant, Sylvia did not hold back and replied, "Sure."In the evening, after sending the two little ones back to the old
"Okay." Edmund looked at them again. "None of you are allowed to order alcohol."Blondie and the others immediately froze. "Huh?"How could they come to this kind of place and not drink booze?It was so meaningless.The people looked at Edmund pitifully.However, Edmund merely gave them a cold look.The men had no choice but to simply order some juice.Sylvia was a little stunned. She thought about it and said, "Edmund, you guys can drink if you want. Don't mind me.""That won't do. They're the type to go wild if they drink."Sylvia pursed her lips at the words.Although they did not drink, they started to smoke before long.Sylvia could not stand the strong smell of smoke and quickly frowned.At this time, Edmund also threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and shouted to them, "Put out all your cigs. No more smoking."Grasshead was aggrieved. "Mr. Price, we can't drink, and we can't smoke either?"Edmund glared at him and raised his finger to point at the wall. "D
Odell's cold gaze eased up slightly, and he pushed open the car door and got out.Tara hurriedly got out of the car and followed him.She took one of his arms and pretended not to know anything, saying, "Those people just now don't seem like they work on the right side of the law. Why was Sylvia laughing and talking with them?"After she spoke, Odell's expression was instantly clouded with another layer of gloom."The man in charge seems to be close to Sylvia." Tara went on to say, "Do you think they're dating?"Odell suddenly stopped in his tracks.Tara had been looking at him and saw his gloomy expression. It was as if he was a devil from hell. It was terrifying.She shrank in fear. "Odell, what's wrong?"He pursed his lips. "I'm fine."However, his voice was frigid.He was obviously unhappy.Tara pretended not to notice and rubbed against him, saying softly, "Let's go inside quickly. It's cold outside."Odell pursed his lips and entered Elysian House with her.An hour l
Isabel cried, "Liam, let me win!"A moment later, a victory chime sounded from the game.Isabel shouted happily, "Thanks, Liam!"Odell's eyes softened slightly, and he raised his hand to push the door open.The two little ones were sitting cross-legged on the floor, each holding a gamepad.Across the room hung a large screen that was showcasing a large-scale online racing game.The two little ones froze when they saw him enter.Odell frowned and said in a low voice, "Put the game away and go to sleep."Liam went, "Okay."Isabel obviously had not had enough and pouted.However, she knew that she was no match for him, so she obediently gave the gamepad to her brother and let him put it away.Soon, they climbed into bed.Odell did not leave. He sat on the chair next to their bed and casually opened a storybook.Isabel pouted. "Baddie, I don't wanna hear a bedtime story from you."Odell gave her a cold look.Isabel immediately hid behind Liam.He pursed his lips and put the
Isabel and Liam were also in the living room.Sylvia went to them and played with them.At 9 p.m., it was time for them to go to bed.Sylvia went to their room.After changing them into their pajamas, she watched them lie under the covers, and sat on the little chair at the head of the bed. She took a storybook and softly told them a bedtime story.Soon, the little ones closed their eyes and fell asleep.Sylvia put down the storybook, kissed their cheeks, and walked out of their room.In the living room, Odell was still sitting on the sofa reading a book.He looked up at her when she walked over.Since she met his eyes, she could not pretend she did not see him. Thus, she said, "Isabel and Liam are already asleep."Odell hummed.The sound was light with no extra emotion.However, there was obviously no displeasure either.It seemed like she still had to take the initiative to greet him. She could not pretend not to see him.She quickly walked out.Odell watched her figur
Sylvia did not know that Liam said all that to Odell after she left.When she got home, she washed up and rested like in previous days.For the next few days, she did not see Odell when she went to see the two little ones. Perhaps he had gone on a business trip.However, it was good that she did not see him. That way, she did not have to force herself to greet him.A few days later.That morning, the two little ones came over to her early in the morning.Sylvia promised Simon to attend his painting exhibition, so she took the two little ones with her.The place where the exhibition was held was near their preschool.When they arrived at the pace, Isabel ran inside with joy.Liam quickly followed her and grabbed her little hand.Sylvia followed behind them.Even though they were young, they looked like they knew how to admire the paintings.Sylvia could not help but laugh.Then, she received a message from Edmund.He asked, "Lil Syl, are you free at noon? I'll treat you to
Liam said, "Don't touch my sister's face."He had a childish voice, but his tone was as mature as a grown-up.However, Edmund naturally would not bicker with a small child. He smirked and said, "Okay, I won't touch."At this point, Sylvia also came back.She asked suspiciously, "Isabel and Liam, what are you two talking about with Edmund?""Nothing," Liam answered and pulled Isabel to his side.Sylvia looked at Edmund.He smiled and said, "Your kids are really cute, Lil Syl.Sylvia smiled. "Let's go and continue to view the exhibition.""Sure." He immediately followed behind Sylvia.Isabel and Liam looked back at him in unison.Liam's gaze was wary, while Isabel carried a scowl.Edmund narrowed his eyes at them.Isabel narrowed her eyes back.However, Liam turned his head away coldly and ignored him.It looked like an action from a businessman.Simon was the famous Aquila, and many people were rushing to see his paintings.Sylvia was Simon's friend and knew a lot about
