Sonia was frightened by their intimidating presence. The children's gaze that did not seem to belong to toddlers made her nervous. They were Odell and Sylvia's kids. Sylvia was not much of an issue, but they were Odell’s children, the young master and lady of the Carters. Sonia could not afford to offend the Carters. “Mommy, are you alright?” Isabel went up to Sylvia and stared at her with a worried gaze. Sylvia patted her head. “Mommy is okay.” Isabel sighed a breath of relief. She then turned to Sonia and said, “You have three seconds to leave this place, or I will tell them to tie you up and throw you on the street.” She might be a toddler but the intimidation in her cute voice was brazen. Sylvia was stunned for a moment. She somehow saw Odell in the little girl. Sonia wore a bitter look. She was being deterred by a mere three-year-old. More importantly, the three-year-old was Odell’s daughter who she could not afford to offend. She gulped her grievance and glared
After the call ended, Sonia left in annoyance. Back at Lake Victoria Villa, Tara enjoyed her glass of red wine with a mischievous grin. Sonia was such a gullible person. With the little fiasco she caused, Sylvia would have to move away from the Old District again. The houses in the Old District were rather archaic, but the rent was expensive. Given Sylvia’s current salary, she would never be able to afford one. The houses surrounding the Old District were even more expensive, so she might have to move quite far away. The further she moved, the harder it would be for her to pick her kids up and visit the Carters’. With that, she would naturally draw distance from Odell. … That night, while Sylvia was searching for houses to rent online, Jacob, who helped them tidy up the house, went home and updated Isabel and Liam. Isabel was grumpy after learning what happened. “It must be that bad woman! Brother, let’s call Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob to go to her house!” Liam car
The look on Madam Carter's face turned bitter. Of course, she wanted to help Sylvia, but it was inappropriate to let her move in. She sighed and said in a heavy tone, “Isabel, Liam, I know you guys want to be with your Mommy, but your Mommy and Daddy have no longer been together for years. It’s inappropriate for her to move in to stay with you guys and your Daddy.” Isabel pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. Just when she was about to burst into tears, Liam said, “There;s an easy solution.” Isabel’s sulking expression brightened. The tears she prepared seemed to be absorbed back into her eyes. She stared at Liam curiously, and so did Madam Carter. “What is this solution about, Liam?” “Just make Daddy move out,” Liam said matter-of-factly. Madam Carter was silenced, as was Odell outside the entrance. Only Isabel jumped and cheered happily. “Brother is right!” Madam Carter was at a loss for words. It was understandable that Isable disliked her father since she just
Odell frowned. “Isabel?” Isabel burst into tears after a little hum. “I want Mommy! I don’t want to be separated from her! I want to sleep with her!” Her face was flushed as grievance overwhelmed her. Liam hugged her, but she cried even louder. Odell got up to her and wanted to carry her into his arms. However, the little girl clung to her brother and refused to let Odell touch her. She even said, “I don’t want you, you big baddie. I want Mommy, I want Mommy!” She cried louder and louder as she threw a temper. Odell responded with a grim look. He had brought Isabel back for quite a while now, and this might be the first time he was seeing her throw a tantrum. He intuitively assumed that it was that woman who made his daughter do this. Nevertheless, he suppressed his emotions and picked Isabel up into his arms. The little girl kept punching him and resisted his hug. “Okay, okay, I’ll go talk to her tomorrow. If you keep crying, I won’t go,” Odell said.Isabel went qui
Sylvia sized him up. He wore a white shirt and long pants coupled with a pair of clean leather shoes. Each piece of his outfit screamed luxury. In addition to that fair skin of his, nothing on him showed signs that he could do laborious work. Sylvia decided to be frank with him. “No thanks, you will only give me more trouble than actually helping.” Tristan’s smile froze. It was then that the moving company’s truck arrived. Sylvia did not want to talk to him anymore. After loading the things onto the truck, Sylvia brought Aunt Tonya to the new house. Tristan got into his own car and followed the truck. Twenty minutes later, Sylvia arrived at her new house with the moving company. The new house was a fully furnished two-story mansion equipped with a spacious courtyard. Just when Sylvia wanted to move her things inside, Tristan came up behind her and said, “This is a lovely house.” After spending that much on rent, she ought to make sure it was nice. Sylvia did not a
As far as she could remember, she had not done anything to make him mad recently. “What is this about, Odell?” He stared at her and said, “I heard from Isabel and Liam that you are moving?” Sylvia was surprised. “How did they find out?” She was only going to tell them after she moved. Odell scoffed. “You were the one who tell them, didn't you?” Sylvia was confused. “Why would I tell them that I’m moving?” They were kids, and moving was supposed to be an adult problem, so why would she tell them? Odell squinted. “You really didn’t tell them?” Sylvia stared right back into his eyes and confidently said, “Of course not.” He tightened his lips and the expression on his face turned cold. Even the air around him fell colder than usual. Sylvia had goosebumps from his stare. She then asked, “Odell, can you not look at me like that? What is it that you want to talk about?” Odell finally moved his thin lips. “After they knew you were moving, they threw a tantrum at me bec
Sylvia sat back down and looked at him. “What?” “From today onwards, you don’t need to fetch Isabel and Liam from kindergarten anymore.” Sylvia frowned. She asked, “Why? Because I moved?” Clunk! A clear thunk sounded when Odell put his cup down on the table. Sylvia was frightened, but she was still annoyed and angry.He wore a cold look and said, “You won’t be seeing the children anymore.” Sylvia was more confused than ever, but before she could respond, Odell got up and was about to leave. Infuriated, Sylvia dashed in front of him and stopped him from leaving. She blurted, “Odell, what do you mean? If you don’t explain what is going on, I won’t let you leave.” Odell frowned. Despite her tiny stature, she hoped to stop him from leaving. He put his hand on her shoulder and simply moved her aside. The excessive strength from his hand even caused her to falter. Right before he walked out of the coffee shop, she ran over and clutched his arm. She clung to him tightly
Sylvia awkwardly pouted. Odell noticed the slight disappointment in her, and it curved his lips into a grin. A moment later, “If you don’t let go of me, I’ll cut your hands off.” Sylvia was out of options since he made himself clear, thus she was forced to let go of him. Odell glared at her one last time before leaving. She watched him leave as she cursed secretly, ‘Crazy bastard.’ She had said there was nothing between her and Tristan, but he did not believe her and refused to let her see the kids. After that, she said she was dating Tristan and he got even angrier; he also refused to let her see the kids. If he was not the epitome crazy, who else was? …Sylvia returned to her new house. She helped Aunt Tonya clean up the place first before she headed to Carter Residence. She wanted to see Isabel and Liam, but the bodyguards stopped her outside. “I want to see Madam Carter,” she said. The bodyguard said expressionlessly, “Master Carter made it clear that even Ma
