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
Thomas looked at her with eyes that were devoid of warmth. "I don't think you came to see me to say these useless words to me."Lily's expression changed. "I indeed have a lot of questions to ask you.""I don't know anything except for the six months she was in Galston."Her face turned cold, and she asked, "Why did you let her return to Mediana? Why did you let her keep Odell's child?"Thomas picked up his coffee and took a sip, not answering her. It was obvious he did not intend to answer those two questions.Lily did not pursue the topic and asked instead, "Can you tell me why you suddenly came back?""Because of her.""Sylvia?""Yes."Lily sneered. "She already gave birth to Odell's child and is living in the Carters' residence. Can you still snatch her back?"Thomas retorted, "Have you already given up on my big brother?"Her expression changed, and she said in a cold voice, "I will never lose to a woman who's inferior to me in every aspect."He pursed his lips. "Then,
Sylvia moaned.Odell plugged her mouth again, no longer giving her the chance to open her mouth to speak.Soon, their clothes fell to the floor, and their bodies writhed.The man, who had held back for a long time, finally got what he wanted.As for Sylvia, she was like a flower that was methodically disassembled, dismantled, and assembled, only to be dismantled all over again...Just like that, they repeatedly tossed and turned until late at night before the man let go of her and she fell asleep.The room was silent.Odell saw her fall asleep as soon as her eyes closed and could not help but pat her rosy face. "Sylvia?"She ignored him.He chuckled. 'She's really fallen asleep.'Then, he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom with an insatiable look. The warm water washed away his sweat.After washing, he returned to the bed in his pajamas and wrapped her back in his arms."Can you be gentler?" The woman's hoarse voice suddenly spoke up.He froze and looked at her.
Sylvia's heart thudded. The unhappy feeling of being tossed around all night until she developed a fever inexplicably disappeared.She pursed her lips and nursed Flint.Aunt Tonya stood next to her and could not help but smile secretly when she saw Sylvia's happy face.The trauma of those six months had finally passed. It would be best if Thomas never appeared again....The scene where Thomas appeared suddenly was like an illusion.For the next few days, Sylvia did hear any news from him, and she did not receive any messages from him on her phone either. He seemed to have disappeared from Westchester.Did he suddenly appear in front of the hospital that day just to see her and ask how she was doing?Sylvia warily cooped herself up at home for most of the month before she could no longer resist going out.Isabel and Liam started school long ago.That morning, Sylvia took Flint and sent them to preschool with Aunt Tonya, then went to the nearby shopping street for a stroll.I
The colors were either black or gray.Odell raised his brows. "That's it?""Yes. The clothes are made of quality materials, so they won't tear easily. They should last for a while." Furthermore, they were not expensive, so she would not feel bad even if he tore one every day.Odell curled his lips and asked, "Did you buy some for yourself too?""Yeah.""Show me."Sylvia frowned. "There's nothing to see. I didn't ask to see yours either."Odell narrowed his eyes. "I won't wear them, but I want to see."His wicked eyes seemed to see through her at a glance.Sylvia's face grew hot, and many scenes of her being bullied by him suddenly flashed in her mind. She was embarrassed for no reason and refused him directly, "I don't want to."Odell strode in front of her, pinned her to the wardrobe, and lifted her chin. His thin lips brushed against her own as he said in a husky and overbearing voice, "If you don't wear it tonight, then you don't get to wear it. Period."Sylvia could not
Since the day she went out for a stroll, Sylvia had been going out for a walk every now and then.Thomas might really not appear again. Almost three months had passed, but Sylvia did not see him, let alone receive any news about him.Her days were beautiful and peaceful.Flint was almost half a year old. His height had doubled, he was chubby and round, and cute as hell.The temperature also rose sharply, and it was soon the hot summer season.Isabel and Liam were on summer vacation again, but Odell did not keep them idle and arranged a summer tutor for them to continue their studies.Liam was fine since the syllabus and homework were not difficult for him, but Isabel never liked studying. She got sleepy in class and slacked off whenever she got the chance, using the excuse that she had to take care of her younger brother, Flint. In fact, she simply watched him play and showed off how good she was at playing games in front of him.The little girl was an expert at acting pampered.
