Sylvia would never have thought that the fantasy that she had a few years back would come true before her eyes. However, things had changed. She could no longer feel the happiness of the warmth that she had felt in her fantasy. She gathered her thoughts and went up to the kids. After hugging and kissing them a while, she asked Odell, “Where are we taking them today?” “We’ll be going skiing first, then we’ll go to watch a movie.” Skiing? Sylvia was taken aback. She could not ski because Isabel had been too young back then and she had never taken the little girl to a ski resort before.However, the look on the little girl’s face showed just how much she looked forward to going. Sylvia answered, “Okay.” One by one, she carried the kids into the car. Once the kids were seated, she got into the car.The back seat was spacious, so she intended on sitting in between her kids. However, just as she sat down, Odell came in through the other door to sit at the back.There was
Sylvia then led Isabel over to her father. When the other infatuated ladies spotted Sylvia and Isabel, they wisely decided to leave the father and son alone. Isabel’s big round eyes widened when she looked at Odell before she asked Liam, “Brother, why don’t you and Baddie here look fat at all?” Liam patted her little head and said, “Sister, you look very cute.” Sylvia almost burst out into laughter. It was obvious that Liam had called his sister cute because he did not want to call her fat. Fortunately, the puffy ski wear did look cute on Isabel. Sylvia suppressed her urge to laugh and said, “Come on, let’s get our ski gear.” “Yeah! Let’s go skiing!” Isabel pulled on Liam’s hands and ran forward. Sylvia moved to go after the kids but when she walked past Odell, he whispered, “You look cute too.” Sylvia was stunned. She turned to him and saw him squinting at her with a pleasant expression on his handsome and charming face.All of a sudden, Sylvia became inexplicably b
Odell slowed down to a stop and turned around to Sylvia. He raised his hand and gestured to her to try sliding toward him. Sylvia took a deep breath. She tried recalling Odell’s posture and movement before she slowly slid forward. The ski slowly slid on the snow before it accelerated forward. Sylvia was delighted, but it only lasted for a second because she did not know how to stop. She was gaining speed more than intended and she slowly lost control. Shocked, she started screaming at the other skiers who were in her way, “Move!” The other skiers quickly moved out of her trajectory, afraid of being run over. Sylvia’s ski continued to gain speed. Just when she closed her eyes and braced herself for a terrible crash, a figure flashed in front of her and caught her. Thud! She rammed herself into a sturdy chest and was finally forced to a stop. She froze for a moment before she started to gasp for air to calm herself down. Then, when she opened her eyes, she saw a man l
Sylvia steadily slowed down to a stop. She looked at her legs which managed to stop after multiple tries and giggled as she sighed a breath of relief. Odell patted her head. “Not bad.” Sylvia pouted and said, “Don’t touch my head.” Odell chuckled. “I didn’t even complain about you bumping into me nineteen times.” He then put his hand on her head and rubbed it a few times. Sylvia blushed in silence before she turned around and went to Isabel and Liam. Odell smiled and followed her over. Skiing was an exciting and fun sport. Not only did Isabel enjoy it, but even Sylvia also started to challenge higher difficulty moves once she mastered the basics. She fell a couple of times in the process but overall, it was a fun experience. It was until late in the afternoon, when the two little ones got tired after all the skiing, the family finally left the ski resort. The warm interior of the car felt comfortable. When the family came back in, the two kids started to fall asle
At the same time, Odell’s long arm reached out to his phone and took it back. Sylvia slightly furrowed her brows. Her rather delightful mood was somehow stained by the name she saw on his phone as if something disgusting was stuck in her throat. The frown on her face quickly turned into a grim look. At the next moment, just when she thought Odell would answer the call or go find Tara, Odell put the phone back. Isabel and Liam continued watching the cartoon on the phone. It seemed like he did not answer Tara’s call and even declined it. Sylvia was shocked. Odell had a calm glance at her. For some reason, Sylvia started to feel guilty. Her eyes shifted for a bit before she continued watching the cartoon with her kids. After that, Tara did not try to call anymore. Half an hour later, they headed to the cinema. Odell bought out the entire theater and the movie they were watching was the latest 3D animation by a famous studio. The story was paced rather quickly but i
The bodyguard then pointed his phone at Tara and it captured her dreadful cries. Back at Carter residence, Odell had just come home with the kids and when he heard the crying through the phone, it furrowed his brows tightly. “I got it.” He hung up the call with the bodyguard and wanted to call Tara himself. However, when he pulled up the contact list, he only realized he had blacklisted Tara’s number earlier because he did not want her to disturb the kids from watching cartoons on his phone. With a few taps on the screen, he recovered Tara’s contact from the blacklist and called her. The call got through as soon as it started dialing. Tara’s sobbing and feeble voice came through the phone. “Odell, I just want to listen to your voice just now. I don’t mean anything else. Did I interrupt something?” Odell slightly furrowed his brows. He did not think that she just wanted to hear his voice. He said, “Yes, but it doesn’t matter now.” “I’m sorry Odell. I didn’t mean to.”
The woman spoke coquettishly as she moved her hands toward Edmund’s chest. At the next second… Thunk! Edmund kicked the woman to the floor, silencing the spacious room. The woman curled up in pain while laying on the ground and the others dared not say a word. Edmund got up with a grim look on his face. “Get out! Get the hell out!” All the other women ran out in a hurry and they also brought the unlucky girl away. Both Harry and Lloyd stayed behind but they were quivering and they stood further away from Edmund. Harry said in a small voice, “Mr. Price, there are so many women in the world. I’m sure there are others who look better than Sylvia. You shouldn’t be so fixated on her.” Lloyd adhered, “Yeah, we’ll get you a beautiful girl right away!” Edmund hurled a glass at the two of them. “Get. The. Hell. Out!” The two men left hurriedly. After escaping their angry boss, Lloyd said to his friend, “Harry, what are we going to do now? Mr. Price seems to have fallen d
Odell did not change his position. He held out a hand and patted Liam’s shoulder, waking him up.Odell said to him, “Let’s go to have our dinner.”Liam rubbed his eyes and got up, walking out while holding Isabel’s hands.Odell then carried Sylvia in his arms, who was still sound asleep, and walked behind the kids.The cinema was located in a bustling square.After a long walk, they reached the parking lot. The driver quickly got out of the car and helped Liam and Isabel up.Then, Odell got in the car with Sylvia in his embrace. Inside, Sylvia was still sitting on him. Her butt was on his lap, and her head rested on his shoulders.Sitting beside them, Liam and Isabel raised their chubby cheeks, and their sparkling black eyes stared at Odell in confusion.After a while, Isabel huffed, “Baddie, you can put Mommy down.”Odell glanced at her. “Mommy is still asleep. She’ll be uncomfortable if I put her down.”Isabel pursed her lips and did not say anything else, along with her br
