Sylvia was frozen to the spot. She then said, “There’s no one here. We can just talk about it here.” Odell sensed the caution on her look. He frowned and asked, “Edmund said you slept on the streets before. What does that mean?” Sylvia had not expected this question to come from Odell. Shifting her gaze, she said, “It’s nothing. It’s in the past now, I’ve already forgotten about it.” She did not want to relive the bitter memories. “Why did you end up on the streets?” he asked. She refused to answer. Odell approached her and cupped her cheeks again to forcibly look intently into her eyes and said, “Answer me.” The tone of his voice did not allow for her to refuse. Feeling upset, Sylvia said, “Because I didn’t have money.” “How was that possible?” Sylvia laughed bitterly. “Have you forgotten? You took everything from me when you divorced me back then.” Odell frowned. Back then, Sylvia had pushed Tara down the stairs which had resulted in her permanent infertil
Sylvia reached her house without even realizing it. Aunt Tonya was already asleep but had kept the lights on for her. There were even some of her favorite pastries left on the table. Sylvia smiled. She sat down and enjoyed the pastries. Eating was an effective way to help put her bitter memories aside. She was no longer her old self. She never wanted to live through those dreadful nights again and she would never let anyone else hurt her again.…Back at Carter Mansion, Odell was sitting at the balcony in his room. His towering figure stood in front of the rail as he looked towards Sylvia’s place through a pair of binoculars. A while later, his phone rang. The call was from Cliff. He answered the phone and heard Cliff say, “Sir, what I just found out was that after you kicked Ms. Ross out, she had gone back to her family but the Rosses did not take her in. I also found out that the money her mother had left for her had been taken away by her biological father and step
There were also several bodyguards who had come to help Sylvia move. Aunt Tonya guided them inside. “Please follow me. I’ll take you upstairs.” She then led the bodyguards to the second floor. Sylvia wanted to help with the moving but Madam Carter held her back. She said with a smile, “Don’t worry. They are all strong men, Tonya won’t have to do a thing.” After that, Sylvia had a glance outside the gate and saw a middle-aged woman dressed in professional attire with two metallic boxes in her hands. Madam Carter then said to Sylvia, “She’s my personal makeup artist who has been working for me for many years now. She’s good. So get changed and I’ll tell her to put on some makeup for you. Then, we can go back to the mansion.” Baffled, Sylvia asked, “Grandmother, what’s the occasion?” Madam Carter said, “You are moving back. Today marks the day that you will be living with Odell again. I have to make it a little more official and grand.” Isabel also cheered delightfully.
Sylvia laughed helplessly.Even during her first marriage with Odell, she had never slept in such a colorful room before. However, all that was in the past so it was no longer necessary for her to reminisce about it. After the bodyguards had placed and arranged all her clothes into the closet, Sylvia told them to get some rest. She then continued to tidy up the rest without asking any of the maids to help. She did not mix her clothes with Odell’s. Instead, she found two empty cabinets and placed all her stuff inside. When she was done with tidying up, she took the kids to Aunt Tonya. Aunt Tonya’s room was located on the first floor, which was just next door to Madam Carter’s. The room had specially been prepared for her because the decor and arrangement of the furniture had all been done according to Aunt Tonya’ preferences. When Sylvia came downstairs to check on Aunt Tonya, she found her happily chatting with Madam Carter. Seeing Aunt Tonya’s happy smile relieved her
She got up and took Isabel into her arms before reaching out to Liam. “Liam, come on. Let’s go play in the room.” Just as Liam reached out to hold his mother’s hand, he found himself being lifted up by Odell single-handedly. Odell carried the boy in his arms and said to Sylvia with a smile, “I have some time. Let’s go play.” Before Sylvia could say a word, Odell was already walking towards the kids’ room with Liam in his arms.Sylvia blinked blankly for several seconds before she followed both father and son with Isabel in her arms.Other than the sleeping area, Isabel and Liam’s room had a designated space for them to play where all kinds of toys were available. Sylvia asked Isabel and Liam, “What do you guys want to play?” Liam said, “Anything.” Isabel scanned the room with her big round eyes and said, “Let’s play Princess Racer! The loser will have to take one flick on the nose!” Sylvia had played this game with them before. “Okay.” They then turned their attention
Immediately after the flick, she quickly moved back to her spot. Obviously, there had been multiple intimate interactions between Sylvia and Odell before this. In fact, they had even had sex before. However, this little flick was unlike any of the others. Her heart raced and her face blushed. Fortunately, the two little kids had not noticed her unusual reaction. Isabel then yelled out, “Let’s continue!” As she picked up the controller, she said to Sylvia and Liam, “Mommy, Brother, don’t hold back against the meanie!” Sylvia smiled. “Okay!” Liam nodded and hummed a reply. The little girl then turned to Odell and raised her chubby face to provoke him. “Hehe, Baddie. You are finished. Hmph!” Odell simply smiled at the girl before sneaking a glance at Sylvia. Isabel then shouted, “LET’S GO!” The four racers on the screen started racing again as they dashed away from the starting line. Isabel’s red car and Liam’s blue car secured the first and the second place like bef
“Of course! Of course we are going to continue!” Isabel grunted. She then turned to her mother and said, “Mommy, you have to win this round so that you can beat him up!” Sylvia nodded. “Okay!” She took a deep breath, her hands on the controller. This time around, she had to stay ahead and make sure Odell did not overtake her. However, the moment the countdown timer came to zero, the black car sprinted off like the wind. It even overtook Isabel and Liam’s cars and scampered into first place, leaving them all far behind.Isabel pouted and Liam frowned. Sylvia had ended up in last place again. The two little rascals simply caressed her nose as ‘punishment’ again. Isabel then turned to Odell and said, “Baddie, don’t you kiss my mommy again!” Odell hummed in reply. He clutched Sylvia’s face and landed a soft kiss on her lips again. Sylvia was silenced and so was Liam. Isabel bolted up in anger. She screamed at Odell, “You big meanie! It’s on! It’s on now!” She then tu
The two little ones did not react either.The dinner went by in a very lively manner.After eating, Madam Carter dragged Aunt Tonya away to chat.Sylvia got up, intending on accompanying the children back to their room, but Odell grabbed her hand.She tried to pull it back, but he held onto her so tightly that she could not break free.She could not help but frown at him.Odell smiled at her, his deep eyes burning with some heat as he looked at her. "We've already played with them for a long time. It's time for them to rest."Sylvia subconsciously avoided his gaze and said, "I'll give them a bath.""The nanny will take care of them."She knew that Isabel and Liam had a nanny to look after them.At Odell's words, the nanny in charge of taking care of the children walked up and said to Sylvia with a smile, "Madam, you and Master Carter can go and rest. I'll bathe the children."Then, she took Isabel and Liam's little hands and said to them gently, "Come on, I'll give you two a
