Sylvia pursed her lips and looked away.Then, she followed Isabel and Liam's footsteps into the old residence. The layout and decoration inside were the same as before.After entering, she sat with them on the sofa in the living room. The little ones sat at her sides, snuggling up to her and staring at her.Isabel blabbered, "Mommy, have you been fighting with the bad guy for the past six months?"Her eyes were bright and shining with gossip and curiosity.Sylvia thought about it and answered, "Sort of.""Are you really not hurt?""I'm fine. He didn't hurt me.""That's good." The little girl touched Sylvia's belly again.Then, Liam suddenly asked, "Mommy, is the bad guy you're talking about Uncle Thomas?"Sylvia frowned.Isabel also instantly looked at her.Outside the door, the man who was about to walk in also stopped in his tracks.The air was silent for a few seconds, and she said, "Yeah."Isabel wrinkled her little brows and asked in disbelief, "How did Uncle Thomas
'However, she blamed her not being able to come back on Thomas and said that it was he who didn't let her come back. Only those two five-year-olds will be fooled by those words.'...The sky darkened.Isabel was still blabbering energetically. She only stopped when Sebastian came over and said that it was time for dinner.At the same time, Isabel and Liam took Sylvia's hand each and dragged her to the dining table.When Sylvia followed them and sat down, the tall figure of a man walked in through the door. She immediately stood up.Odell looked at her indifferently.Sylvia smiled at him. "Odell, may I stay here and have dinner with them?"When she finished, Isabel and Liam looked at him in unison. Their glares were fierce as if they would never forgive him if he did not let her accompany them for dinner.He frowned. "Sit down."Sylvia looked relaxed and immediately sat back down between the little ones.Dinner was quickly served.Odell sat opposite Sylvia. She watched him a
Isabel pouted while Liam frowned.Odell's expression darkened.The atmosphere was suddenly a little tense.Sylvia keenly perceived the change in Odell's expression and thought that he was not happy with her staying or coming back the next day. She quickly said, "Don't worry, Odell. I won't disturb you. I'll leave when they're asleep. I promise to leave before it gets dark tomorrow onward."Odell was speechless.When did he say that she was disturbing him?With anger stuck in his chest, he gave her a sidelong glance, stood up, and headed upstairs. He was gone in the blink of an eye.Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the children. "Let's go back to your room."Soon, they went back to the children's room. The room was still decorated just like before, and their bed was very cozy.Sylvia lay in the middle with one arm around each of them."Mommy, I don't want you to go," Isabel whined in a soft voice.Sylvia whispered, "Isabel, do you know about your Daddy and Aunt
Odell raised his hand to tap on the screen and sent a message. "It's nothing. I just want to inform you that Isabel and Liam need to study now. They can't waste time like before. Remember to supervise their studies when you come tomorrow morning."Sylvia replied, "Okay, I got it."Then, she sent him a cute smiling emoji.Heh.He could imagine her obedient and pleasant appearance through the screen. However, when he thought of her current mental condition, his gaze darkened slightly....The next morning, Sylvia arrived early at the old Carters' residence.The two little ones had just finished breakfast. Odell seemed to have gone out, and there were only Sebastian and a few bodyguards at home with them.When they saw her coming, they immediately ran out to welcome her.Sylvia kissed and hugged them before going to their room.Suddenly, she remembered the text message Odell sent her last night. After playing with them for a while, she asked, "Liam and Isabel, do you have any ho
A day later.At the old Carter Residence.Seeing that it was getting dark, Sylvia said goodbye to the children just like the day before, then headed for the door.Isabel and Liam both followed her to see her off.Unexpectedly, before she could walk out of the living room, the tall figure of a man came up to her.He wore a black suit topped with a long coat. His figure was straight and strong, and his appearance was as handsome as ever. However, the cold aura emanating from his body intimidated people from approaching him.Sylvia stopped and took the initiative to smile at him.Odell looked at her coldly. "Have they finished their homework today?"She had not expected him to ask this question, so she momentarily froze before replying, "Yes.""Isabel finished hers too?""Yes, it's finished.""Did she do it by herself?"Sylvia hesitated and said, "Liam helped her do it."Isabel and Liam were standing right behind them and raised their little round faces with dumbfounded expre
Not long after, Sylvia came to Odell's study with Liam and Isabel.The study was spacious and bright.Liam and Isabel sat behind his desk to do their homework on it.Sylvia moved a stool over to sit on the other side of the desk to watch them.What she had not expected was that not long after, Odell also came in.He was still wearing his suit.After he entered, he took a book from the shelf without sparing her a glance and went to the sofa to read it.It seemed that he had come in to read a book.Sylvia peeked at him twice before withdrawing her gaze to continue watching Isabel and Liam.The study was very quiet.The only occasional sound was from Liam as he taught Isabel how to do her homework.Sylvia placed her arms on the desk and rested her chin on her folded arms to stare at their cute little faces in the comfortable posture.On the sofa, the man who was reading a book raised his eyes and noticed her lounging posture at a glance.The look in his eyes softened slightly
The night passed quickly, and Sylvia came to the old Carter mansion early in the morning the next day again.Today, a tutor came to give the two little kids their lessons.Sylvia played with them all morning and accompanied them to class in the afternoon.After the teacher left, she urged them to do their homework.Liam had always been someone who would do it without any prompting, so she did not have to manage him at all. On the contrary, as soon as Isabel was asked to do her homework, she tried to think of ways to slack off, as she rolled around and acted like a spoiled child. Sylvia could not bear to be fierce to her at all, but after Liam gave her a stern look, she finally agreed to do her homework.It was only when it was time for dinner that she finished the homework assigned by the tutor with Liam's assistance.Odell also came back from work at this time.Although he was cold to her, he did not do anything to drive her away, so Sylvia stayed for dinner, put Isabel and Lia
"What?" Madam Springsteen was instantly confused.He had to watch his children study?He was at the helm of a conglomerate and was in charge of hundreds of millions worth in assets, yet he had to go home to watch his children study?Wasn't it the tutor's job to do that?"He spoils those two children too much." At the thought of the two children left by his ex-wife, Madam Springsteen also became upset."He probably isn’t doing it just to watch the children," Lily said in a cold voice.Madam Springsteen immediately looked at her. "What other reason is there? Could it be for that woman who posed as a waiter, messed up Ramona's birthday party, and made a public spectacle of herself?"Lily frowned.She was thinking that if she were Odell, she would definitely not be involved with that vulgar and lowly woman.After all, her appearance, ability, and family background was not inferior to that woman. How could he be unwilling to even have a meal with her? Perhaps that woman might have
