Isabel narrowed her eyes at him as if she caught a thief red-handed. Liam was a lot calmer. He simply stared at his father with his big googly eyes. His puffy face was almost expressionless except for the hint of grudge. “Daddy, have you been putting me away for the past two nights?” Odell’s eyes shifted a little. “Mommy will feel uncomfortable if you sleep snugly beside her.” “You’re also sleeping next to her.” “I’m different.” “How different?” Looking expressionless, Odell explained, “I’m an adult. I’m taller and stronger than you. Mommy will feel comfortable if I sleep close to her.” Liam pouted and furrowed his brows. Isabel then said, “But Mommy said she’s comfortable sleeping with us.” Odell remained expressionless and said, “She’s lying.” Isabel pouted. She bawled, “No! I don’t believe you! Mommy won’t lie to us!” “She doesn't want you to be unhappy, that’s why she lied to you.” The serious look on his face never changed for a bit as he fabricated his lie
Sylvia went up to him and asked, “Not sleeping?” “I can’t sleep.” His gravelly voice had a hint of grievance. “It’s getting late. You still have to go to work tomorrow. Hurry up and go to bed.” Odell ignored her. Since he gave her the silent treatment and showed no signs of moving, Sylvia wanted to head back. She came all the way out here just to call him back to sleep but since he refused to go back, she could not do anything either. However, before she could walk inside, he stopped her. “Hold on.” “What?” Sylvia turned around to the man. Odell’s brows were furrowed. He was rather unhappy with her reaction. “Can’t you just say it to me?” “Huh?” “Say you want me to go back and rest. Is that too much for you?” Sylvia did not know how to answer his question, so she chose silence. Odell glared at her. Sylvia was afraid that the man might go out of control again, so she complied and said, “It’s getting late, you better have some rest.” The frosty look on the m
Sylvia wore a skeptical look at her and asked, “Tara? Is there anything?” Tara did not bother to conceal her frosty gaze. “Can’t I come here? Do you think Odell doesn’t care about me anymore after our breakup? Hmph. He just transferred two million into my account.” Sylvia’s look turned frosty. However, since Odell mentioned that he could not simply leave Tara alone, giving her money to cover her living expenses was a normal thing to do. She did not want to listen to Tara’s nonsense, so she said, “If you have anything you want to say, just spill it; if not, please get away from me.” “Hmph. I underestimated you. Not only did you bewitch Odell, but you even extended your spells to Edmund. Ever since you remarried Odell, Edmund has been drinking at the club almost every night.” Sylvia frowned. “What did you say?” “Don’t tell me you don’t know Edmund likes you,” Tara said with a scoff, “And you say I’m the acting b*tch? I can say the same to you as well.” Sylvia wore a frosty
Sylvia stared at the number on her screen blankly. A lot had happened after they remarried and she felt that he cared about her. A tiny ember seemed to have gotten into her heart and melted away the layer of frost she used to seal her feelings away. She even started to recall the sixty slaps she received back then but now, it did not hurt as much as before. Since he was serious about the marriage this time and they already remarried, she ought to do her best to live with him under one roof. Then, Sylvia said, “Odell, I want to go to Lush Heaven to have a look at Edmund.” The steadily cruising sports car screeched and wobbled for a fraction of a second. Odell thought he heard wrongly, so he asked with furrowed brows, “What did you say?” Sylvia explained, “Odell, don’t take this the wrong way. I’m just trying to talk some sense into him. I heard he’s been drinking like crazy in Lush Heaven and I don’t want to see him waste his life like this because of me.” The car scre
Sylvia went inside after that. The room was dimly lit, and the stench of alcohol in the air stung the nostrils. Right after Sylvia came in, she saw Edmund dozing off on the couch. He wore a floral shirt that was unbuttoned down to his chest, revealing his broad muscles. The stubble around his chin was apparent while even his messy hair was longer. He looked severely disheartened. Sylvia frowned and called out to him. “Edmund.” Edmund’s eyeballs shifted before he opened his eyes. “Syl?” He bolted up and looked at her in awe. Sylvia’s brows remained furrowed. “I heard Sherry said you’ve been drinking here. What happened?” Edmund put the bottle of whiskey that he had been holding on onto the table. He hurriedly tidied his clothes and hair before he smiled at her. “I’m fine. I’m just bored, so I came to have some fun.” “Is it because of me?” Sylvia asked. Edmund’s face fell, his lips tightening. “Edmund, I’ve remarried Odell. It’s not worth it anymore. Don’t do this bec
Harry and Lloyd almost burst into tears when they saw their boss come out of the room. They stared at Edmund with teary eyes. “Master Price, you’re finally out!” Edmund gave each of them a kick on the bum. “Shut up! Stop acting like pussies!” The two of them did not only stay after the kick, but they even hugged Edmund excitedly. Although Edmund had disgust all over his face, he did not try to push Harry and Lloyd away. He then said to Sherry, “Ms. Fowler, thank you for calling Syl over. You can go back to work now. I’ll pay you double for the whiskey I've drank in the past two days.” “Of course.” Sherry did not even try to be courteous. She wore a sweet smile and then returned to work. Edmund then pulled the clingy Harry and Lloyd off his waist. Intrigued, Harry asked, “Master Price, what did Sylvia say to you?” He clearly remembered that Sylvia had only gone in for a few minutes. Lloyd also narrowed his eyes. He protruded his lips and wore a perverted look as he sai
“What did you say to Edmund?” “I told him to get himself together.” “That’s it?” Odell narrowed his sharp eyes. A quick thought later, Sylvia continued, “I even told him that I’m having a great life now and that he should live a happy life as well. That’s it.” “Come over here.” “What for?” His frosty eyes remained narrow. Sylvia held her reluctance back and moved closer to him. Odell put his hand behind her neck and kissed her. He even nipped her on the lips before releasing her. “This is your punishment for being late for 36 seconds.” Sylvia was speechless but did not talk back. The man also looked a lot more satisfied after he had his kiss. After that, he pushed her back onto the passenger seat and drove away from the parking lot. Sylvia did not even want to argue with him. On the way home, Sherry texted and told her that shortly after she left, Edmund had gone out with Harry and Lloyd and seemed to be in a good mood. Sylvia heaved a breath of relief after
Sometime later, the door finally opened. Sylvia came out and chatted with Sherry and the two men before she went off. Then, Edmund came out. He looked a little disheveled but vibrant. Sylvia must have talked some sense into him. After that, his men chatted with him. One of the men asked him, “Master Price, what did Sylvia say to you?” Edmund did not answer. The other one then asked, “Master Price, did Sylvia kiss you?” The video then ended abruptly. Odell did not hear Edmund’s answer. Tara also carefully looked at Odell’s reaction after playing the video and spotted nothing but frostiness and a wry expression. He was upset, and it must be because of Sylvia. “Odell, look, I’m not lying. Sylvia really went looking for Edmund. If there’s nothing between them, why would she have gone into his VIP room?” Tara noticed the cold reaction on his face and continued, “This video is a trimmed version of the original. My friend sent it to me. She said Sylvia went in for almost
