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.
Sylvia frowned and muttered, "How did I sleep for so long?"She had actually slept for almost three hours.After saying that, she sat up and took Flint into her arms.The little guy must be hungry.Just as she was about to lift her top, the man's pleasant voice rang out again. "He already fed in the living room."Sylvia remembered the spare milk she left in the fridge. She had slept for a long time, so Aunt Tonya and the others must have fed him.Suddenly, there was a warm touch on her forehead.Odell ruffled the stray hair in front of her forehead and said softly, "Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go out shopping."Sylvia thought about it and said, "It's been too hot lately. Forget it."She did not have to worry about Isabel and Liam, but Flint was still small and had to be looked after constantly, so it was troublesome. Aunt Tonya and the others were not young anymore, and Sylvia did not want to trouble them.Odell said, "Leave the kids at home. We'll go out alone."Sylvia l
Odell walked in.Sylvia's back was turned to him. When she sensed him approach her, she asked, "Can you help me with the zip?"The man was silent for a moment and raised his hand to tug the zipper on her back. His warm fingertips brushed against her skin, and Sylvia's nerves inexplicably tingled, making her back go numb.Before she could snap back to her senses, a loud rip rung out.Her chest instantly felt tight, and she almost could not catch her breath. She turned her head and glared at him. "Who told you to pull it up?"The man raised his brows slightly, his deep eyes looking at her bulging chest."Didn't you want me to zip you up?" he asked instead, his voice low and magnetic.Sylvia instantly noticed something wrong and looked at him with a blush. "Stop looking. Hurry up and undo my zipper. This dress is too tight. I have to change into another one."Then, she turned her back to him again.However, the next second, the man's arms circled around her waist and pulled her i
There were not many people walking around.Sylvia was just pondering about where it would be more comfortable to go shopping when the car pulled into the largest luxury mall in Westchester. The mall retailed luxury brands from all over the world, including all kinds of jewelry and bags.However, she frowned and asked, "Why did you bring me here, Odell?""To shop.""This is a luxury mall." Sylvia was in no way short of jewelry and was not that interested in stuff like these."Aren't you women all about shopping?""Shopping doesn't necessarily mean we have to go to a mall. There are so many fun places in Westchester."The car had already stopped, so Odell ignored her and dragged her out. Only after they entered the mall, he let go of her.Since they were already there, Sylvia did not insist on going back and strolled about with him.As expected of a mall where luxury brands converged, the interior design was very opulent, and many display windows were exquisitely decorated.Syl
Sylvia shopped around the floor with him again.When they reached the elevator, she wanted to go down, but he held her hand and went upstairs instead."Let's go to one more floor to shop before we eat," he said. His tone was strong and gave her no room for refusal.Sylvia held back her anger.'Whatever. We've already covered two floors. What's one more?'Taking the elevator, they soon arrived at the third floor.As soon as they came up, they saw a spacious gallery.It was a temporary art gallery, which meant that someone was probably holding an exhibition here. Many famous paintings were displayed outside the entrance.Sylvia stopped and could not help but look over.Odell held her hand and asked, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"As soon as his voice fell, a familiar and beautiful figure came out of the gallery.Lily's expression was startled as if she did not expect to meet them. Her eyes swept over the shopping bags that Sylvia and Odell were carrying, then she smil
Unexpectedly, Odell smiled and answered, "Okay."Not only did he agree easily, but his low and magnetic voice also seemed to be a little doting on her.Sylvia's heart trembled, and she could not help but press herself against him, holding his arm as they walked to the parking lot.Meanwhile, in the gallery on the third floor of the mall, Lily stood in front of the window wall, watching their intimate figures leave.When Sylvia and Odell left by car, she immediately took out her phone and called Thomas.The line rang for a while before connecting, and she asked coldly, "Second Master, more than three months have passed. When exactly will your plan start? Are you going to let Sylvia give birth to his fourth child before you start?"She got angrier the more she spoke.Especially when she thought back to the scene of Odell holding Sylvia earlier, and how he held Sylvia's shopping bags for her.He was the master of the Carter family and the head of the entire Carter Corporation. It
Seeing her like this, Odell instantly gave her another piece of meat. "Eat.""Okay." Sylvia immediately devoured the meat.As soon as she swallowed it, more pieces appeared on her plate. The meat and vegetables were just the right degree of heat.She dipped them in the sauce and munched on them.For some reason, she felt that the food here was particularly delicious. It was much better than all the grilled meat she had eaten before.Odell saw her lips twitching in a smile. He held back his laughter and asked, "Is it good?""Yeah. You have some too." Sylvia picked up her fork and gave him a piece.She just realized that she did not use the communal tongs. Just as she was about to tell him not to eat it, he picked up the meat and shoved it in his mouth."Not bad," he said.Sylvia curled up the corners of her mouth.Odell smiled and continued to grill the meat."I'll do it. You can eat instead.""No need, you eat." His voice was gentle yet firm.Thus, Sylvia ate. The more she
Sylvia's face heated up as she immediately smacked the girl's head. "Isabel Ross, did you watch one of your idol's dramas again?"Isabel replied haughtily, "I only watch cartoons, not dramas.""She held Flint and watched dramas with Aunt Tonya for two hours today," Liam, who was reading a book, said seriously.Sylvia frowned at Isabel.Isabel immediately hid in Odell's arms, hugging him while shouting at Liam, "You snitch!"However, Liam ignored her.Aunt Tonya said sheepishly, "I went back to my room to watch TV during their afternoon nap. I didn't know when they came in either. It was only after the show ended that I realized that she was holding Flint and hiding behind me."Sylvia looked at Isabel who turned her head and buried her face in Odell's chest. It was as if Sylvia was helpless against her if she did that.She was holding Flint, so she really could not do anything to Isabel, but she did not want to let Isabel off the hook just like that. Thus, she said to Odell, "Od
