"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
Lily said coldly, "There’s no need to follow. We'll go back."Was that woman even worthy of being followed by her?She had only come here just to see if Odell had really gone home to see the children. Unexpectedly, in the two days she had come here, she had seen that woman emerging from the house at this time at night on both days.The woman had already divorced Odell a long time ago. What was she still doing here every day? To accompany the children?Even if that were the case, it was inappropriate for her to stay here until late at night every day!Lily's face was cold as she thought of the promise that Sylvia had made to her that day when she had gone to the hospital to visit her.'She said she already had no more feelings for Master Carter since before their divorce, and she said she wouldn't ruin my relationship with him.'So what is she doing now?'She goes to her ex-husband's house every day until late at night and even makes him come back in the evening as soon as his w
Sylvia frowned and replied, "Yes, but I went there to be with the children. I didn't do anything besides that.""You're a woman who runs to your ex-husband's house every single day and stays late into the night. How is it that you do nothing but spend time with the children?" Ramona was furious at the direct look that Sylvia was giving her and glared at her. "I think you're truly contemptible and shameless!"Sylvia's body turned cold and she immediately clenched her hands.Seeing that Sylvia continued to look as if she had not done anything wrong, Ramona sneered, "Stop pretending to act noble in front of me. If you hadn't done anything, you wouldn't have followed Thomas abroad and come back with a big belly. If you have any shame, then stay away from Odell. He has a fiancee now. You’re not even bothered about maintaining your own virtue. How dare you try to steal Lily's man?"After saying that, she barked at her driver. "Hurry up and drive. Just looking at her makes my eyes feel di
Isabel lay on Sylvia's stomach, rubbing her little face onto the stomach. "I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to stay with Mommy a little longer."After saying that, the girl obediently sat behind the desk and picked up the pen. She also did not forget to call out to Liam. "Liam, hurry up and teach me how to do my homework."The little girl figured that the sooner she finished her homework, the sooner she would be able to play with her mommy and let her go back to rest early.Liam put his book down and sat next to her.Sylvia pursed her lips and forced back the stinging in her eyes....The little girl was very efficient when she decided to be serious, and she finished all her homework in less than half an hour. Then, she clung to Sylvia's side again.Sylvia smiled and kissed her, then she played games with her and Liam.When it was almost dark, Odell's car came back.Sylvia took their completed homework and came to the living room with them.The man's tal
Not far outside the gate, a black MPV had been parked there for a long time.Ding ding ding...The phone in the man's hand kept on ringing.It rang for about a dozen times before stopping.Looking at the pictures flashing by on the screen, his face could not help but darken.‘This woman is really smart. She even remembered to take pictures and send them to me.'Is she in such a hurry to leave?'Ding!His phone rang again. It was another message from her. "Odell, this is Isabel and Liam's homework. You can check them when you're free."His expression chilled, and he put the phone back into his pocket.At that moment, a slim figure walked out of the door of the mansion.Yes, that slim figure was Sylvia.Although her belly had already begun to swell, the rest of her body was still the same as before. From the back view, she even seemed slimmer than she had been six months ago.She did not look his way but went out of the gate toward the other side of the road. It was clear th
A day later.Sylvia stayed at the old Carter residence with Isabel and Liam as usual.The sun was shining nicely today and it warmed up the room, making everyone feel a little lazy.Isabel was watching a show on her tablet as she lay her head on Sylvia's lap.Liam sat beside her with his back to the sunlight that was shining through the window, as he quietly read a book.Sylvia yawned and was about to doze off as she leaned against the wall when her phone suddenly rang.It was a message from Christopher.She had reconnected with the Art Association a while ago after her return, and Christopher had sent her a message two days ago, asking her to attend an art activity held by Master Springsteen.Not only had the famous artists from Westchester been invited to this event, but many collectors had also been invited. With the Springsteen family's reputation, many people from high society would definitely attend the event.Sylvia had not wanted to show her face, so she had refused th
"Oh.""Did you agree, Mommy?"Sylvia said, "Yeah, I did, so I might have to leave a little early the day after tomorrow.""Mommy, do you not want to go?" Liam looked at her with his big, clear eyes.Sylvia was stunned. She had not expected him to ask that.Before she could answer, he continued, "If you don't want to go, then you shouldn’t go."He was clearly just a five-year-old boy, and he still had a child’s voice, but he spoke like a little adult.Hearing that, Sylvia actually felt a little bit more reassured.She smiled and stroked his little face, saying gently, "I already promised, so I can't go back on my word."Liam frowned. "But you'll be unhappy."Sylvia smiled. "I was just a little worried. I'm fine now."Seeing her gentle and happy smile, Liam pursed his lips silently."Mommy, why don't we go with you?" The little girl suddenly spoke up.Liam instantly looked over.Sylvia was silent for a moment. "The event isn't suitable for you two. Just be good and stay at
It felt good. He pinched her face several more times until there was a reddish mark on her cheek before letting go of her. Sylvia was fast asleep so she did not even react to the pinch. Sleeping like a pig.Odell snorted but even his narrowed eyes and furrowed brows could not hide his amusement. Next, his eyes fixed upon Sylvia’s luscious lips. Her pink lips were moist and full.After staring at her for a while, he started to feel his desire rise. He narrowed his eyes further and moved his face closer to hers. Just before his handsome face touched her delicate cheeks, he sensed someone looking at him from the side. His gaze shifted. He straightened up and saw Liam staring at him with his big round eyes. The boy had been sleeping beside Sylvia. Somehow he had woken up without his father’s knowledge and was now staring at him intensely. “Daddy, are you trying to kiss Mommy?” he asked. Odell awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “No.” The boy stared at him. He was
