A few days later.Early that morning, the bright sunshine spread all over the land.The snow that had blanketed the ground melted away as the weather warmed up.Sylvia was still asleep when she was woken up by Isabel.Her little hands tugged at Sylvia as she yelled, "Mommy, get up. We're going to play outside with Baddie today!"Sylvia opened her eyes.Not only did Isabel come into view, but she also spotted Odell and Liam standing by the door.Both father and son were looking at her while standing in the same posture.Sylvia instantly became alert and sat up.Subconsciously, she wanted to say that she already had plans and tell them that they could go play by themselves. However, for some reason, her words got stuck in her throat.As if she could guess that she might say that she had something else to do, Isabel quickly crossed her arms as she pouted and spoke crossly to Sylvia, "Mommy, I'm gonna be angry if you don't play with us today!"Sylvia pursed her lips.By the doo
Without thinking too much about it, Sylvia picked up her fork to take some food for Isabel and Liam....After dinner, she tucked the little ones into bed.They were tired out from playing during the day and fell asleep before Sylvia could even begin to tell them a bedtime story.She kissed their tender little faces, got up, and went back to her room.After washing up, she went to the window and looked outside.She could look into the yard from here.There were several parking spaces in the yard, but Odell's car was not there. He was obviously still away.After standing for a while, she turned around and went to bed.However, she tossed and turned for a long time and did not manage to fall asleep until the later part of the night.Then, she woke up before dawn.She got up and went to the window to take a look at the yard.The parking spaces were now full, including Odell's car. He had probably come back after handling his affairs.Sylvia sighed in relief, went back to bed,
Like a little puppy, Isabel ran next door again.Sebastian and the other maids all smiled when they saw her coming again.Isabel also greeted them with a sunny smile before going into Odell's room.On the large bed, Odell lay on his back as he slept soundly.She stayed by his side for a while before becoming bored. So, she decided to climb into bed and snuggled up to him.She had only intended on accompanying him, but for some reason, she grew sleepy after lying down for a while.Her little hands clutched the front of his shirt, as she rested her little chubby face on his arm. Soon, she was fast asleep.The room was quiet.The man continued to sleep soundly.After quite some time had passed, he slowly woke up.While he was still half asleep, he felt as if a little fat cat was cuddling him. The little body was fleshy, and felt as comfortable to hug as a nice fluffy pillow.His consciousness had always been alert.So, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Isabel was slee
By the time breakfast was over, every single plate and bowl on the table was empty.Covering her bulging stomach with her hands, Isabel cried out, "Mommy, I think I ate too much."Helplessly, Sylvia pursed her lips and was just about to get up to get some digestive enzyme tablets when Odell said, "Where are the tablets? I'll go get them."As he spoke, he stood up and placed Isabel in her arms.Sylvia said, "It's in the medicine box under the cabinet over there."She pointed in the direction of the living room.Odell quickly went over and brought out a bottle of digestive enzyme tablets.Sylvia took two tablets and placed them in the little girl's mouth, gently saying, "Chew them slowly."The girl nodded and began to chew.Sylvia looked at Liam. "What about you? Do you feel bloated?"With a serious look on his face, Liam pursed his mouth and said, "No."Sylvia looked at his stomach.His shirt seemed to be bulging out as well, yet he had said 'no'?Holding back a smile, Sylv
Sure enough, Odell came back in the evening before it got dark.He was dressed in a suit with a long black coat over it, which complemented his tall and imposing figure.He had only just stepped inside when Isabel came running up to him."Baddie, you're back!"Odell picked her up and said to Liam, who was reading a book in the yard, "It's cold. Come inside to read."Liam did not say anything but obediently put away the book and followed him in.They would be having pizza for dinner.At that moment, Sylvia was sitting at the table with Aunt Tonya, making the dough.They both looked up when they saw the father and children come in from outside.Odell smiled at her and quickly walked to the table. Then, he placed the box that he had been carrying in his other hand on the table. "I bought some snacks along the way. You should eat them while they're hot."Through the box, Sylvia could smell the fragrance coming from inside.She pursed her lips. "Okay."Seeing that Isabel was eye
Sylvia pretended that she was unaware that she had been leaning against him and asked, "Where are Isabel and Liam?"Odell pursed his lips. "Aunt Tonya and Sebastian carried them back to their room to rest."Sylvia hummed in reply and opened the door to get out of the car.A gust of cold wind suddenly blew, making her shiver.Just as she was about to move forward, there was a sudden weight on her shoulders, and she found that a large and warm men's coat had been draped over her shoulders.Sylvia stiffened.Odell tapped her forehead. "What are you spacing out for?"She ignored him and quickly walked inside.She stopped when she reached the living room.Odell followed her in.He was only wearing a thin woolen shirt and pants, but his figure was straight and upright as usual.Sylvia raised her hand to take his coat off and return it to him.However, he grabbed the collar of the coat.The coat was already oversized on Sylvia's body.When he pulled the coat, she was wrapped in
Sylvia wanted to refuse, but before she could, Isabel had already pulled open the car door and climbed in.Thus, she had no choice but to take Liam and sit inside as well.The little girl sat in Odell's arms.Sylvia also took Liam into her arms as she sat beside Odell.Odell said, "Drive to the preschool first."The driver responded and started the car.In less than ten minutes, the car stopped outside the preschool.Sylvia and Odell accompanied the children out of the car and watched them enter the school grounds before turning around and returning to the car.She sat at a distance from him.After less than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of the Art Academy.Sylvia turned to get out.Suddenly, there was an iron grip on her wrist pulling her until she was turned around and pressed against a broad chest.She looked up in annoyance.In the next second, the man's handsome face came closer to her.Her lips were soon covered by his.The man’s breath dominantly filled he
Sylvia immediately turned around and went downstairs to a street next to the Art Academy.It was the end of school hours, so most of the snack bars were occupied by students.Sylvia came to a small but cozy restaurant.The owner was very welcoming and asked her what she wanted to eat as soon as she entered.She ordered a main and two sides before going inside, intending to sit down at the innermost window seat.However, before she could do that, she saw that someone was already sitting there.That person was Thomas Carter.What was even more embarrassing was that the moment she saw him, he also looked up and spotted her.His eyes were clear and cold as usual, but his lips were curled up in a shallow smile."...Hi." Sylvia smiled stiffly.Thomas asked, "Did you come here to get take-out?"Sylvia's eyes twitched. She was just about to look for an excuse to bluff her way through when the boss brought her order over and asked with a smile, "Your order is ready, Miss. Where would
