A few days later, there was a snowstorm in Westchester City that lasted from the evening until the next morning.When Sylvia woke up, she saw a thick layer of snow everywhere outside.Unfortunately, she was still recovering from giving birth and could not go out.She could only look through the window and watch Isabel rolling snowballs outside, her chubby face flushed from playing. She was obviously tired, but she did not forget to call out to Liam, asking him to help her with this and that.Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were worried about their safety, so they played with them in the yard.The little girl brought the party to the yard by herself, and Aunt Tonya and Sebastian laughed at her antics.Even little Flinty, whom Sylvia was holding in her arms, was staring at them with big, shiny eyes.Sylvia could not help but smile.It was not until a while later that Skylar suddenly walked in from outside.Sylvia was stunned and stood up with Flint in her arms.Skylar greeted Aunt Ton
At the same time, in Carter Tower, Odell was having a meeting with the executives.When he saw the call from Skylar, he picked up his phone, walked out of the conference room, and answered the phone. "Did you meet her?"Skylar quickly said, "I just came out of your house."He followed up by asking, "Is her depression cured?""Ms. Ross' state is much better than the last time I saw her, but depression isn't a physical illness. It won't go away so easily. However, I can confirm that she's in the healing stage now. As long as she maintains her current condition and doesn't get stimulated again, she should be able to get rid of her depression soon."Odell's face softened. "Okay, I got it."He hung up the phone and returned back to the conference room.Although Skylar's feedback was not what he wanted to hear, it was not bad either. He was in a good mood, so the few executives under him had a better time as well.The meeting went smoothly and was over before office hours ended in th
"Mm." Sylvia lay her face on his chest. Feeling the heat from his body, the chill she had from those scenes in the dream soon faded away.After a long while, she lifted her face to look at him and said directly, "I received a message from him today."Odell's eyes flickered. "From who?""Thomas."His eyes sank, and he raised his hand to touch her face, asking in a low voice, "When did he send it to you? What did he say?""It was after Skylar left. I wanted to bring Flint back to bed when I suddenly received a message from him. He asked me how I was doing recently. I didn't reply to him and blocked him directly," Sylvia answered honestly. Suddenly thinking of New Year's Eve, she looked at him again and said, "I sent him a message on New Year's Eve night, wanting to ask if he could let Aunt Tonya come back. I made a deal with him before that as long as I stayed in Westchester until New Year's Eve, he would let her come back, so I sent him a message that night just after midnight."
After breakfast, Odell took the same car to work as usual.Not long after he left, Sylvia took Isabel and Liam to the hospital where she gave birth.The chief doctor of the gynecology department was already waiting for her.Odell had most likely sponsored this hospital after she gave birth, so the doctor's attitude toward her was very warm. All kinds of tests were done very carefully. The examination report came out on the same day. Her body had recovered well, and there were no other complications.Sylvia was satisfied and led Isabel and Liam out of the hospital.Their car was in the parking lot where Jacob was waiting.Sylvia wanted to make a phone call to Odell, so she said to the children, "You two get in the car with Uncle Jacob first. Mommy will make a call to Daddy, and I'll be right there."Upon hearing that she was going to call Odell, Isabel agreed immediately and pulled Liam to the car with Jacob.Sylvia took out her phone and called Odell.The line rang twice befor
Isabel and Liam both looked at Sylvia. When they saw her panicked face, Isabel immediately asked, "What's wrong, Mommy? Did you meet a bad guy?"Sylvia snapped back to her senses and saw Isabel and Liam's worried eyes.She quickly hugged them, feeling their soft little bodies, and her emotions soon calmed down. She said, "I just saw a bad guy trying to rob someone at knifepoint, but he was stopped by the hospital security. I was just a little frightened, but I'm fine now.""Don't be scared, Mommy. Liam and I are here." Isabel immediately burrowed into her arms and hugged her.Liam frowned and said, "Mommy, don't walk around alone anymore.""Yeah, I know." Sylvia also did not think that she would run into Thomas in the short while she was alone when calling Odell.The little ones were most likely fooled by her excuse and did not ask any more questions. They merely sat close to her.However, Sylvia still felt very uneasy. She took out her phone and sent a message to Odell. "I saw
Even so, Sylvia's mood was still unsettled.'Why did he suddenly come back? He already released Aunt Tonya, so he should have intended to leave me alone. Why did he approach me again?'Just as she was feeling more and more uneasy, and her body went cold, a strong figure suddenly walked in through the doorway.Sylvia quickly looked up as her eyes brightened. "Odell?"Odell took a few big steps to her side and looked at her up and down. Then, he said to Isabel and Liam beside her, "Go back to your room."The little ones obediently got off the bed and followed Aunt Tonya out.Only Sylvia and Odell were left in the room along with Flint, who was sleeping soundly.Odell sat next to Sylvia and took her into his arms. One hand was wrapped around her, and one hand held her hands that were clasped together.It was only then that Sylvia noticed her hands were clasped together again. She quickly let go.Odell frowned and held one of her hands in his palm. Her body was still cold, and her
The spacious bedroom suddenly became hot.However, when the two were about to strip, a loud wail broke the tension.They immediately stopped moving.Not far away, Flint, who was still in swaddling clothes, was wailing.Odell frowned and looked at him with displeasure. "Shut up!"Flint continued to wail even louder than before.Odell reached toward him.Sylvia thought he was going to fling the baby and quickly held his hand. "Don't hurt him, Odell.""I'll give him to Aunt Tonya." His voice was still displeased.She instantly got out from underneath him and took the little one into her arms."He's hungry. He'll be fine after I feed him." Then, she lifted the top that he had unbuttoned.Thinking of something, she looked at him again and said with a simpering expression, "Can you turn around for a moment?"Odell frowned and instantly looked even more upset. However, he still turned around.Sylvia then started to feed Flint.The little one stopped crying the moment he got his
Seeing that Flint did not seem like he was about to cry, Sylvia tried to place him in Odell's arms.Unexpectedly, the little one lay obediently on Odell's chest as soon as he got into his arms, without crying or making a fuss.Sylvia laughed. "Odell, he's accepted you."Odell smiled and hummed.'Good, at least he knows that I'm his father.'He gently hugged Flint until the baby fell asleep on his chest."Flint?" Sylvia tried to call him.Flint still had his eyes closed, obviously asleep.Odell's expression changed, and he immediately carried the baby to the crib next to the bed. Then, he turned around and looked at Sylvia on the bed with a deep and wicked gaze.Sylvia blinked, and her cheeks reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye. The collar of her shirt was still loose, and her two fine, pale legs were casually folded to one side. She was like a quietly blooming flower, appearing soft and charming.His tall figure pressed toward her at once.Immediately, he pinned Syl
