John's smiling gaze turned cold for a moment.Odell looked at Sylvia. "Sylvia, come sit with me."Sylvia knew that he wanted to maintain cordiality on the surface, so it would not be wise to go against John now. However, she finally got to see Sherry. She really did not want to see Sherry sitting next to John, the big bad guy.After thinking about it, she said, "Sherry and I haven't met for a long time. I want to sit with her. You two are going to be talking about business, so we won't disturb you."Odell frowned as his expression turned cold.Sylvia turned to look at Sherry, pretending not to see his expression.John saw this happening and glanced at Sherry imperceptibly, then said, "Mrs. Carter is right. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so they must have much to say to each other. Let them sit together. We can talk about our deal as well."Odell looked at him. "All right."The two of them sat down.Immediately after that, the waiter brought in the food and set i
Sherry raised her hand and touched Sylvia's head. "Don't worry, Syl. He just wants to get back at me. He won't do much to me."Sylvia looked at her.There was a smile at the corners of her mouth, but her pale face made her look a little weak. However, there was no anger in her expression.Sylvia could not help but ask, "Why does he want to get back at you? Did you do something to him before?"Sherry sighed as sadness flashed in her eyes. "I cheated on him."Sylvia had thought of that possibility as well. "Even if you cheated on him before, he wouldn't go this far just to get back at you, right?""I hurt him pretty deeply.""How so?""Forget it. It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it." Sherry looked at her. "What about you? Did Master Carter misunderstand you when you sneaked in with someone else this afternoon?"Sylvia pursed her lips at the sound of Odell's name and replied with a smile, "No, I explained everything to him clearly."Seeing her sweet expression, Sher
Sylvia pouted. "Oh."Then, she reluctantly took a sip of hot water.Not far away, John and Sherry watched their interaction and were both silent for a moment....Dinner was over.Odell held Sylvia's hand while John took Sherry's as they walked out of the restaurant together.The wind outside at night was cold.After coming out, they walked along the roadside. Sylvia wanted to walk with Sherry, but Odell gripped her hand.Sherry was also in John's grip and obviously could not break free. Sylvia could only turn her head to look at Sherry from time to time.Not long after that, John suddenly said, "Master Carter, I heard that Mrs. Carter and you are going back tomorrow, right?"Odell replied, "Yeah.""What time are you leaving?""10 a.m.""What bad timing. I have an important meeting to preside over at that time, so I can't come to see you off. I'll ask Peter to see you off.""It's fine. There's no need to bother Peter.""That won't do. Not only is this our first time work
Sylvia frowned with a gloomy face. "John will bully her."Odell pursed his lips. His warm and large hand touched her small face, and he said softly, "That's their business. We're outsiders, so we can't interfere.""She's my best friend.""I know, but they're lovers now, so not even best friends can come in between them.""He's only with her for revenge. He might abuse her.""That may be so, but he won't let anything happen to her.""How would you know?" She looked at him.He looked down at her, his eyes dark and gentle. "Because he's a man like me. I can tell that he still has feelings for Sherry."Sylvia was stunned and still confused. "How can he bully her if he still has feelings for her?""Maybe he still has some resentment in his heart."Sylvia pouted.Odell cupped her cheek and said, "I've arranged for a few people to stay here. If anything happens to Sherry, they'll tell me immediately. Don't worry, I won't let her be in danger."Sylvia's eyes flickered. When she loo
Isabel's eyes instantly lit up, but she was still angry and did not utter a word.Soon, the phone was taken away by a small hand. Liam's cool appearance and Flint's adorable face appeared on the screen.Liam hugged Flint and asked, "Mommy, when will you and Daddy be back tomorrow?""We're going back in the morning, so we should reach home at noon."At that moment, Flint also waved his chubby hand at her. His mouth babbled, obviously wanting her to carry him. His adorable expression melted Sylvia's heart, and she could not help but pucker her mouth and make a kissy noise at him.Flint immediately burst out into giggles.Then, Isabel's scoff was heard from the side. It was clear that she was unhappy again.Sylvia's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Isabel, come here and let Mommy kiss you too.""I'm not that naive." As soon as she spoke, her chubby pouting face squeezed into the screen.Sylvia held back her laughter and blew a kiss at the screen. After that, she called
Startled, Sylvia wrapped herself in the bathrobe and walked out.In the bedroom, Odell was wearing a black robe, and his tall figure sank lazily on the sofa. Seeing her come out without showering, he was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"Sylvia said embarrassedly, "I'm on my period.""That's it?""Yeah."The light in the bedroom was quite bright, so Odell could see the plea in her eyes at a glance. His eyes narrowed as he said, "Oh, I see."Then, he picked up the book next to him and read it again.Sylvia's throat choked. "Um, can you...""Can I, what?" He looked at her again with dark eyes.At this point, Sylvia simply said, "Can you ask someone to buy me a pack of tampons?"Odell curved his lips in a seductive smile. "What do you think?"Sylvia blushed and could not help but glare at him. Just as she was about to take her phone to place a delivery order from a supermarket, he suddenly picked up the landline next to him.The phone was quickly connected. He looked at Sylvi
"Okay."...After washing up and getting dressed, they had breakfast. By the time they finished, it was exactly 10 a.m.Sylvia and Odell walked out of the hotel together.Jacob and Cliff were already waiting for them, and John's assistant, Peter, had also arrived.After Peter greeted them, he picked up a beautiful box and said with a smile, "Master Carter and Mrs. Carter, this is a gift that Master Stockton personally chose for you. He is sorry that he couldn't come over to give it to you in person, but this is a little token of his appreciation."Odell glanced at Cliff who immediately went forward to take the box.Odell said, "He shouldn't have. Please pass on my thanks to him."Peter said, "Yes, I'll definitely convey it to Master Stockton."After the formalities, Sylvia and Odell got into the car, and so did Cliff and Jacob.The black MPV quickly drove into traffic.Cliff handed over the gift.Odell glanced at it and gave it to Sylvia.She weighed the box in her hands. T
John shook off the hand that she slapped away. He glanced at the two people in the front row with a grim gaze. "You two, get out."The driver and Peter hurriedly got out of the car.Then, his straight figure approached Sherry, and one hand reached for her face again.Sherry sat in place, her hands clenched into fists by her side as she looked at him coldly. Just when his hand was about to squeeze her face, she suddenly got up.Bam!With a heavy sound, she pressed John back against the car seat. She pinned him down, clutching his collar with both hands, and asked him coldly, "What did you give them?"Her face was red, and her eyes were full of hatred and killing intent.John was stunned for a moment. Then, his face returned to normal. "Seems like I've treated you too well these few days.""Cut the crap!" Sherry directly grabbed his neck, her gaze sinister. "Tell me. What exactly did you give them?"John narrowed his eyes. "Don't you want to help the Fowlers and your childhood f
