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
In the evening.Sylvia's two classes were successfully completed.The students were very enthusiastic, and she talked to them for a while before returning to the faculty building with her backpack.She went up the stairs and soon arrived at her office.The door was unlocked, so she pressed the handle and pushed it open.The next thing she saw was a man leaning on her desk.He was dressed in a suit as he stood there in a languid and casual manner. However, his aura was so cold that no one would have dared to approach him.Sylvia was startled. "Odell? What are you doing here?"With one hand, Odell toyed with one of her brushes as he looked at her. "Nothing, really. I just came to see you."Sylvia frowned. "This is my office. Please don't come here in the future. It won’t be good if other people see you."Odell's expression immediately turned cold. "Why would it be bad?"His voice was dark as if he was implying something.Sylvia was momentarily confused before giving her answe
Her whole face looked very charming.Odell's throat bobbed.Not waiting for Sylvia to catch her breath, he cupped her face and kissed her again.Sylvia was speechless.'This b*stard!'When he finally let her go again, she quickly took a few steps back and yelled at him, "Odell Carter, did you take the wrong medication today?"Odell merely smirked seductively as he looked at her.Secretly calling him a lunatic in her mind, she picked her backpack up and moved to walk outside.With his long legs, Odell quickly caught up with her.No matter how fast she walked, he followed along beside her.In the end, she had to jog away.She ran to the parking lot, heading straight for her parking spot, and took her keys out to unlock the car door.Just then, the sound of the car door being pulled open came from the other side.Sylvia looked up and saw that the man was already sitting on the passenger side, smirking at her.At this point, she could not kick him out again.She glared at hi
Odell frowned. "Did your mom not go to pick you up?"He had known that he would be relatively busy today, so he had told Sylvia in advance and asked her to pick the children up. She had agreed as well.The girl replied, "Mommy didn't come. Liam and I called her, but she didn't answer her phone either."Odell's expression sank. After a moment, he suppressed his emotions and said, "Wait at the gate with your brother and don't go anywhere. I'll ask Uncle Jacob to pick you up."The girl said obediently, "Okay."Odell immediately called Jacob and instructed him to pick the children up from the preschool as soon as possible.Then, he called Sylvia. Unexpectedly, the phone connected after only a few rings.He frowned. "Where are you?""It's been a long time, Master Carter." An eerie male voice sounded from the phone.Odell's eyes went cold. "Spencer?""Hehe, yeah, it's me.""Why is Sylvia's phone with you?""Because I kidnapped her." Spencer smiled and said, "Master Carter, do you
Sylvia looked over at Spencer and said, "Sir, Odell and I really divorced a long time ago. You can't threaten him by kidnapping me."Spencer sneered. "Don't try to fool me. I used your phone to talk to him, and he said that he's on his way here now."Sylvia choked.Tara also did not speak.It was still drizzling, and the sky was slowly getting darker.After some time had passed, Sylvia heard the sound of a vibrating phone coming from Spencer's pocket.She saw him take out the phone, look at it, and put it back into his pocket.Then, with a wicked smile, he looked at Sylvia and Tara as he said, "One is the former love of his life, and the other is his ex-wife who gave birth to his children. Who do you think he loves the most?"As he said that, he knocked the gun in his hand on the ground.Tara said, "I did have a relationship with Odell, but I don’t believe that the person in his heart is me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to break up with me and marry Sylvia again. However
