Sebastian was appalled by this and managed to step in just in time to hold Ramona steady. Sylvia was just as horrified. Fortunately, Ramona regained her balance in time. She beat her chest with her hand several times and seemed to regain her composure after that. Her complexion still seemed rather pale. "I just wanted to see the children. I have no other intentions. How could all of you gang up on a frail old lady like me?” She wiped her eyes with her hands and seemed like she was going to cry. Aunt Tonya frowned upon earring this. Isabel pursed her lips indifferently. Sylvia became more hospitable after this as she offered kindly. “Come up if you really want to see the boy.” Although she was not very fond of Ramona, she was still Grandma’s sister at the end of the day. The least she could do was to extend a bit of hospitality. Ramona seemed appeased by this, evident by the sudden transformation of her expression. Then, she promptly strutted up the stairs.
Ramona marched straight to the living room without stopping. Sebastian was going to walk her out. She glared at him venomously. "Don't bother walking me out. I’ll never come back to this place again!” Sebastian smiled as politely as he could and stopped following her. Ramona suddenly stammered, and glared at Sebastian again before strutting out of the house. Her car was parked right in front of the gate. Upon reaching her car, she could not wait a moment longer and promptly extracted a transparent plastic bag from the leather bag she carried with her. She made sure that the two strands of hair inside were still intact. One of them was the hair she plucked from Sylvia’s baby whose identity of the father was still largely unclear. The other hair was the one she picked up from the drain in the shower. Based on her estimations, Sylvia who had just given birth and got home today must not have had time to take a shower yet. Therefore, this strand of hair from the sh
He promptly went back into the house. Shortly after that, he arrived outside the bedroom. The door was open. He could immediately spot Sylvia lying on the bed inside. Her face still seemed rather pale, but she seemed more vibrant than the night when she gave birth. She was talking to Isabel and Liam. “Even though your great aunt is very unruly, you both still have to respect her as an elder, especially since she’s the mother of your great-grandmother, understand?” She spoke gently with an underlying undertone of sternness. Liam had a silent look and had nothing to add. Isabel pouted and protested. "She’s so annoying! Back then, she even told us that you don’t want us anymore and ran off with Uncle.” Sylvia frowned upon hearing this. "She said that?” "Yeah! She says that we’re abandoned children that nobody wants!” Isabel was very upset upon remembering this. The tip of her nose glowed red. Sylvia promptly took her into her arms while also patting Liam
Odell's eyes were dazed for a moment.He raised his long legs and walked into the room.Soon, he arrived at the bed. He bent down, reached past Isabel, and his handsome face came close to Sylvia and kissed her on the lips directly.Sylvia immediately pushed him away.The little ones were still around.Odell kissed her twice before releasing her.His tall figure sat by the bed. Pretending nothing happened, he looked at her and asked, "Did Grand-aunt Ramona come over?"Sylvia hummed. "She came to see Flint.""Did she scold you?""No," she replied."She scolded me and Aunt Tonya!" Isabel, who was pretending to be asleep, immediately opened her eyes to snitch on Ramona.Odell's eyes cooled. "Why did she scold you?""Mommy and Flint were sleeping when she came over, so Aunt Tonya and I didn't let her come up, but she insisted on coming up. Not only did she scold Aunt Tonya, she even said I have no proper upbringing! Humph!"She puffed up her chubby little face as she spoke.Od
Sylvia looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?""Do you not want to sleep with me?" His voice also sank.She quickly said, "Flint will cry when he's hungry, so it'll disturb your rest. Besides, I... I...""You what?"She looked down to avoid his eyes and whispered, "I just gave birth and haven't recovered yet. I can't do anything with you for a month."Smack.Her head was immediately slapped.He frowned at her. "I genuinely just want to sleep with you."Was he a pervert? He already endured for more than half a year. Could he not endure it for a month more?Sylvia immediately looked embarrassed and lowered her head even more.Odell held back his laughter and lifted her face. Seeing her red face that refused to look at him, he asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking in that head of yours, Sylvia? Why don't you tell me?"Sylvia closed her eyes and said, "It's nothing. I misunderstood you."He gave a low hum, then sealed her lips and nibbled on them fiercely."Mm!" Syl
Picking up the phone that was placed on the nightstand, Odell went outside to the balcony.He called Ben.The call was quickly answered.Over the phone, Ben said nervously, "Master Carter, I failed to catch Madam Decker's car, so I went straight to her place, but I still don't know where she went. I waited here the entire time, but she hasn't come back yet."The man's handsome face suddenly cooled. "Continue to keep watch there. Don't come back if she doesn't return."Ben quickly said, "I was wrong, Master Carter. I'll think of a way to find her."Odell hung up the phone and called Cliff.The call was also swiftly picked up.Cliff quickly asked, "How may I help you, Master Carter?""Immediately investigate all the hospitals and institutions in Westchester City that provide paternity tests. Find out which institution Ramona Decker went to this afternoon and inform me immediately when you find out!""Yes, sir. I'll get right to it."The cold wind blew on his face.However, th
Then, Odell smoothly took Flint from her and carried him in his arms.Sylvia hummed and rolled out of bed to go to the bathroom.When Odell saw her go in, he sat on the couch with little Flint in his arms, waiting for her to clean up so they could go downstairs together.It was only when he sat down did he realize that the little one was not asleep. He stared up at Odell with large and shiny eyes as if sizing him up.Odell narrowed his eyes.Ding!Suddenly, his phone rang.He kept one hand around Flint and took out his phone with the other hand. Seeing that it was from Cliff, his expression changed and he brought the phone to his ear. "Did you find out?"Cliff replied, "Yes. Madam Decker went to Westchester Center in the west of the city around 4.00 pm yesterday to get a paternity test done. We found out that she requested an expedited test, so the results should be out soon."Odell's expression turned cold. "Take someone there and stop the results. I'll be right there!"Then
Ramona paled and exclaimed, "Odell? What are you doing here?"To the side, Madam Springsteen and Lily's expressions also changed.Odell's cold eyes swept past them and looked at the unopened envelope in Ramona's hand.She immediately clutched the envelope and said with a smile, "You're just in time. I just got the report. Let's look at the results together."She moved to open the envelope."Stop!" Odell shouted coldly.Ramona was frightened and froze.Then, she looked at him in confusion. "Why are you stopping me? We'll know if that child is really yours if I open this envelope. I'll be happy for you if he is."Odell took a few steps to her and looked at her coldly. "Give me the envelope."He extended his hand.At that moment, Cliff, Jacob, and several other bodyguards followed in and blocked the door.The large space suddenly became crowded and tense.Ramona's face paled in fear and panic. However, more than that, she was upset. She held the envelope tightly and shouted un
