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
The meal was very lively.Edmund wanted to send them back.However, Sylvia refused and went back with the children.She drove on the way back.Isabel and Liam sat in the child seats in the back.Liam was quiet.Isabel chattered endlessly."Mom, what's that mister's name again?"Sylvia replied, "Edmund Price.""What does he do?"Sylvia did not know exactly what he did either, so she said, "I've only met him twice, so I'm not familiar with him yet, but he should probably be in business."Isabel asked, "Is he a mob boss?"Through the rearview mirror, Sylvia saw the glimmering light in Isabel's eyes.She was anticipating Edmund to be a mob boss.Sylvia's lips twitched, and she smiled back at her. "I don't think so. He's just in business."Isabel sighed. "Fine."The car was quiet for a short time before she piped up again."Although he's not that fair and good-looking as Baddie, he's quite interesting." She gave a serious evaluation of Edmund. "Mommy, remember to take me al
"Because I said so."Sylvia ignored him.Odell said angrily, "Why aren't you saying anything?""There's nothing I have to say.""Do you not understand what I'm saying?""Yeah, I don't."Odell was speechless.His chest suddenly felt even more stuffy.After a long time, he said, "If I find out that you came into contact with him again, you'll never see the children again."Then, he hung up the phone.In Sylvia's residence.She sat on the bed and cursed at the phone, "Lunatic."...The next afternoon, Sylvia bumped into Edmund when attending an activity held by the Art Association.The event was open to the public, so anyone could participate.Sylvia did not expect Edmund to come. It seemed like he was really interested in art.She explained the event to him.When it was over, it was just in time to have dinner.Edmund said to her, "Lil Syl, it's getting late. Let me treat you to dinner."Sylvia did not think much about it and simply agreed.The weather was very cold,
After Edmund left, Sylvia went straight to the old Carter mansion.The two little ones had finished dinner and were building a snowman in the yard.Although Liam was not interested in building the snowman, Isabel was very enthusiastic.Not only did she want to play but she also yelled at him to help her.Thus, he had no choice but to go with her.When Sylvia arrived, she heard Isabel shouting, "Liam, hurry up and bring me the little pepper!""...""Liam, roll two more balls for me!""..."She stood in front of two snowmen about her height, fiddling with her little hands and shouting at Liam.Liam's small figure was busier than her, running to the kitchen and then back out to make snowballs.His chubby face flushed red.Sylvia went up to them.She smiled and asked, "Isabel and Liam, do you want me to help?"When Isabel and Liam saw her coming, their eyes instantly brightened."Yep!" Isabel exclaimed."What should I do?" Sylvia asked.Isabel pointed to the spot behind th
A round mass of snow hit Odell's chest and splashed onto his chin.The busy yard instantly fell silent.The guards who got carried away while playing quickly retreated while Isabel and Liam also froze.Only Sylvia laughed sheepishly. That was because she was the one who threw the snowball.She originally wanted to hit Isabel's butt, but she raised her hand too high and used too much force. She did not even notice Odell standing in front of the door.At that moment, Odell pursed his lips coldly. His expression was shrouded and cloudy, appearing a little scary.Sylvia hurriedly explained, "Sorry, Odell, I didn't mean to."Odell's expression was still stony.At that moment, Isabel ran over and said, "Mommy, just ignore him. Let's continue playing."She obviously had not played enough.Odell did not say anything, and since Sylvia already apologized, she stopped paying attention to him. Then, she called out to Isabel and Liam. "Isabel, Liam, go hide. I'll find you!"Isabel was in
Sylvia blinked sheepishly. "Sorry, Odell. I accidentally hit you."Odell's lips pulled down coldly. Then, he walked toward her with large strides.Isabel suddenly screamed, "Mommy, run away!"Sylvia was stunned for a moment and quickly ran to the side.Both Isabel and Liam also ran up to her, moving to protect her.However, Odell took off the heads of the two little snowmen in each hand, stunning Isabel and Liam.Odell's eyes were fixed on Sylvia, and he did not even notice their changing expressions. He took large strides forward, his gaze appearing gloomy and terrifying.Sylvia was afraid that he would blow her head off and turned around to run.He immediately accelerated his pace and threw a large snowball at her, striking Sylvia's leg. As a result, she almost fell, but she continued to stumble forward.Isabel and Liam also snapped back to their senses. Liam was so angry that his little brows were scrunched up. Isabel puffed up her face and yelled, "You baddie! I'm going to
She had to go inside quickly and dry off. Otherwise, she would freeze.Sebastian nodded and went over with a guard to carry Isabel and Liam into the house.Soon, Sylvia and Odell were the only ones left in the yard.As Sylvia stood up and patted the snow on her behind, Odell gave her a side glance.Sylvia giggled. "Aren't you going in?"He looked at her coldly and asked, "Why did you come after eight tonight?"She was stunned. She was a little late because she had grilled steak with Edmund, but…"Wasn't it you who said that I could only come after 8 p.m.?"Odell's expression instantly turned cold.Sylvia quickly amended her words with a smile, "I went to the Art Association event this afternoon. The event ended late, so I came over a little late."Odell's expression eased slightly. Then, he turned around and went into the living room.Sylvia followed him in, going straight to the two little ones' room.After the two kids were carried in by force, Isabel scratched the door a
Odell's expression darkened as soon as Tara spoke."Edmund is also here?" he asked in a cold voice.Tara's eyes flickered, but she pretended to be ignorant and said, "Edmund? Is that the man we saw last time at the Elysian House?Odell pursed his lips coldly.Tara looked at his face and continued to play dumb, saying, "He also came yesterday afternoon and laughed and chatted with Sylvia. It seems they went out for dinner together after the event as well."Odell's hand clenched at his sides. 'No wonder she came to see the children when it was past 8 p.m. It's because she went out for dinner with Edmund!'"Sylvia has been single for many years, so I think Edmund and her are for real this time. It's really possible that they're together," Tara spoke absentmindedly and then looked at his horribly stony face.She reached for his arm and asked softly, "What's wrong, Odell? You don't look too good."Odell pursed his lips and restrained the coldness in his eyes. He replied, "I'm fine."
