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
Sylvia immediately lowered her head and saw herself sitting on Odell’s lap in an ambiguous position.Her face heated, and she could not help asking, “Why didn’t you wake me?”She remembered that she had fallen asleep in the cinema, but they were now at a restaurant in another area.Odell’s lips curled. “I didn’t wake you because you seem to be having a good sleep.”His voice was magnetic and gentle, pleasing to the ears.Sylvia pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say something, Liam suddenly muttered, “I was also sleeping soundly in the cinema.”Odell immediately glanced at him.Liam pouted expressionlessly, and it was quiet in the car for a while.Odell pinched Sylvia’s thin waist and asked with a smile, “How long do you want to sit on my lap?”Sylvia blushed and quickly opened the door to get out of the car.A cold breeze blew past and scattered her heated emotions after Odell and the kids got down the car.She pretended that nothing had happened and walked into the
Sylvia was dumbfounded, and then she lowered her head to change Liam into his pajamas. Her actions were the same as Odell’s, but she was slower, possibly because her hands were smaller than his.After a while, she finished changing Liam. She then carried him up and put him down on the inside of the bed.The brother and sister were sound asleep with the blanket covering them.Sylvia could not help kissing their cute little cheeks and said softly, “Goodnight.”Then, she walked out of their room.Odell was standing in front of the door.Seeing that she was about to leave, he asked, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”His brows were slightly arched, and his expression was indifferent, not showing any hint of happiness or anger.However, his tone sounded displeased.Sylvia thought and said, “Goodnight.” After that, she walked past him.A long arm suddenly reached for her and circled her waist.Sylvia was immediately in front of him, and her face almost bumped into his chest.
These women are also from the Art Association, and they seldom interacted with Sylvia. However, they were quite close to Tara. When they went shopping before, they bumped into Tara and Odell, and Odell even paid for them on behalf of Tara.At that time, they were only window shopping in the luxurious brand outlets, not planning to buy anything.Such situations had happened more than once. If they did not know Tara, they would never know Master Carter, let alone enjoy this kind of privilege.Looking at Tara’s drunken and painful expression, they immediately defended her against the injustice she had suffered.“I don’t understand. She’s a famous artist now. How could she still use such dirty tricks?”“Of course, it’s because Master Carter is too outstanding.”“Tara, don’t be upset. Master Carter was temporarily seduced by Sylvia, but he’ll still choose you in the end.”“....”The women started to comfort Tara.Tara wiped her tears and stood up shakily.She said, “I’m sorry. I p
