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
Sylvia looked over. The man was wearing only a thin shirt and trousers. He clearly rushed over as soon as he got the news.There was no one around him. He came alone.Spencer immediately took out two pistols and pressed them against Sylvia and Tara's heads respectively.Sylvia felt the muzzle. If he squeezed the trigger, her life would end in an instant.She immediately tensed her body and did not dare to move.Tara, however, said to Odell with tears in her eyes and a smile, "Odell, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Sylvia and you divorced a long time ago. She's innocent. Hurry up and tell him to release her."Sylvia was dumbfounded before she was struck by a realization.'She's acting like a pure and innocent woman to let Odell sympathize with her.'When she told Spencer to let me go earlier, she probably saw that Odell was approaching, so she said that on purpose to let him hear.'Sylvia smiled coldly and played along, saying, "Tara is right, Odell. We divorced a long time
Sylvia's clothes were drenched.It was so cold that her body was freezing. She felt like she would faint at any moment.However, her mind suddenly became clear, and the freezing sensation of her body disappeared.She stared intently at his raised arm.His large, slender hand pointed at herself.Sylvia's eyes widened.An unprecedented joy at being chosen also rushed to her brain.However, at that moment, his large hand suddenly moved parallel to the left and pointed to Tara.Sylvia froze.The next thing she heard was his low voice. "I choose her."Her, as in Tara Avery.Sylvia was stiff and slumped to the ground.The cold wind blew from all directions, but her face was cold as if her soul had been taken away. Her eyes looked at him vacantly.Odell did not look at her and stared at Spencer instead.Spencer laughed and said, "Good. I'll let her go."Then, he lifted his foot and kicked Tara on the back.Tara screamed in pain and instantly rolled to the side.Odell frowned.
