Chapter 1291

Dinner went on quietly for a while until the phone in his pocket rang and broke the silence. When he picked up the call, his expression and tone turned serious. “What is it?” It was Cliff who had called. “Sir, Secretary Ackerman can’t make it tomorrow. His wife is seriously ill, and he has to be by her side.” “Let him stay with his family.” “But it might take him months to return based on his wife’s condition, and there must be someone there to assist you.” “Tell administration to find someone to take his place.” A second of hesitation later, Cliff said, “Sir, I have someone that I would like to recommend. I wonder if she will be suitable.” “Who is it?” “Shermaine Cole. She’s proactive, motivated, diligent, and professional about her work. And I believe she has a good personality. She’s been with us for two years now and has always been at the front desk, doing all kinds of chores without any complaints. She never told anyone that she helped Madam Carter before and didn

Chapter 1292

After dinner with Odell, Sylvia took a ride back home. Everyone at home had eaten. When she walked into the living room, Liam was reading a book to Flint while Isabel, Aunt Tonya, and Madam Carter were watching the latest drama series on television. Everything felt harmonious and peaceful. Her entrance caught everyone’s attention.“Mommy!” Flint abandoned his brother and wobbled his way to his mother. Sylvia smiled and carried the boy into her arms before she walked over to Madam Carter. Isabel tapped on the empty seat beside her and said, “Mommy, have a seat. This new drama series is awesome! We are at the climax now!” Sylvia turned to the television. The male and female protagonists were having an argument in the rain, and it seemed to be a fierce debate because even Madam Carter and Aunt Tonya were deeply fascinated by the storyline. Sylvia smiled and chose to sit down beside Liam. The little guy had a white shirt coupled with denim overalls which complimented h

Sylvia did not know what to do with the little guy. Just when she was about to leave Flint to his little quirks, Liam with the book turned around and sized Flint up from top to bottom. Flint was being adorable when his brother stared at him. He quickly retracted his hands from his mother’s neck and sat obediently like a doll. “Sit next to me,” Liam instructed. Flint used his most adorable gaze at Sylvia, asking for help. However, Sylvia averted his gaze and feigned ignorance. Flint then crawled out from Sylvia’s arms to Liam's side and sat upright like a little soldier. Liam stared at him coldly. “Bring the book over.” Flint pouted. He reluctantly picked up the book and started reading it from the first page. Meanwhile, Liam finally retracted his cold gaze and continued reading his book. Sylvia, who watched the little scene from start to end, was left speechless. She was almost certain that Flint had pinched Liam’s cheek on purpose earlier. He must have lived under his

Chapter 1294

Sylvia only opened her eyes when Odell came out from the bathroom, clean and freshly dressed. He left the room before she could say goodbye. She picked up her phone and found out that it was already 10 o’clock in the morning. It was no wonder Odell left in such a hurry. She wondered when the busy days would come to an end because it had been a while since they had woken up together. Recently, even seeing each other started to become a luxury that they could not afford. ‘Sigh. I still have to go to the academy later…’ Sylvia sighed and got out of bed. …When Odell came down to the living room, only Aunt Tonya and Madam Carter were around to take care of Flint. Isabel and Liam had gone to school. Flint got up and ran over as soon as he saw his father come down, so Odell carried him up for a while and then put him in Aunt Tonya’s care. He then said to Madam Carter, “Grandmother, I have to go to work now.” Madam Carter nodded. “Be safe.” Aunt Tonya reminded him, “Odell,

Chapter 1295

Shermaine quietly went in and put the cup of tea on his desk. Odell was captivated by the documents in his hands and did not even notice her. Therefore, she only stayed in the office for two seconds before wisely stepping out. Cliff had told her that the man hated being disturbed while working, and Aunt Ruth had also taught her to be patient in the art of seducing a man. She finally got promoted to his secretary, so now would be the best time to practice the virtue of patience. The thought put a grin on her face as she returned to her desk outside. …Several days later, which was a Friday, Sylvia finished class at the academy shortly after noon and went home. It had been days since she saw Odell, so she pulled her phone out and wanted to text him. Coincidentally, she received his call. The man’s charming voice sounded as soon as she put the phone by her ear. “Sylvia, I have to go abroad to deal with an urgent matter. I’m on the way to the airport now. I suppose I can onl

Chapter 1296

There were mostly common snacks that were arranged neatly in a certain pattern. The handmade candies were intricately constructed as well. At home, his wife used to love making candy for the kids, but she got a lot busier after returning to the workforce. In addition to taking care of the three kids, she also had to look after Madam Carter, hence there was simply no time to make candy. It was the little things that could warm one’s heart, especially how it was presented. He was not interested in snacks but would indulge in some whenever Sylvia put a box or a bowl by his side. His eyes flickered and he instinctively picked a piece of dried berry. Shermaine grinned widely when she saw Odell eat the snack she prepared. …Two days later, on a Sunday, Sylvia brought the kids out earlier in the morning and spent the whole day at a theme park. They only arrived home in the evening. Sylvia carried Flint in her arms and sat in the rear seat with Isabel and Liam on the way back. Soo

The three of them turned to Sylvia together when she came into the room. “Mommy!” Flint was the first to bolt up with his tiny legs and wobble over to her. Sylvia carried him and sat in between the other two. “Issy, Liam, hold on for a while. I want to call Daddy.” Isabel and Liam put down their toys obediently. Flint looked up at her with his chubby face and glued his eyes to the phone she held. It should already be after work hours in Hemingway, so Sylvia tried video-calling Odell. As the dial tone sounded from the phone, Sylvia and the kids widened their eyes at the screen. A while later, just when the call was about to reach time off, the call got through. The man’s handsome face appeared on the screen. Sylvia smiled, but before she could say a word, Flint blurted in delight, “Daddy!” His sweet and adorable voice could easily melt hearts. Odell smiled at his wife and kids. “Have you guys eaten?” Sylvia hummed a reply. Isabel then said, “Stupid Daddy, we’ve eaten

A soft sigh later, he got up, tidied his collar, and walked out. When he came out of the room, he saw Shermaine. She was waiting outside with the stack of documents, and when she saw him, she smiled. “Sir, here are the documents you requested. The dinner we've pre-ordered is ready downstairs. Are you having it here, or on the way back?” Her smile rivaled that of a sunflower and even resembled Sylvia’s. He unconsciously spared her an extra glance. “I’ll have it on the way back.” He headed out after that. Shermaine swiftly followed him with the stack of documents, and her eyes glittered for a moment. …A few days went by in the blink of an eye. It was a Friday, which should be the day of Odell’s return. After the class at the academy in the morning, Sylvia pulled out her phone but hesitated whether to call him or not. The last time they talked was the video call with the kids, and there had been zero communication between them since then. He was so busy back then that

Chapter 1299

Sylvia’s patience wore thin. She wanted nothing but a peek, even if it was just through a wall or a door. Besides, whenever he had a meeting in the past, even if he was scolding a subordinate, she had walked in before and had never disturbed him once. She was not an idiot and knew he was busy. Why would she go in and disturb him on purpose? Sylvia ignored Shermaine and strode forward. “Mrs. Carter, you really mustn't go in!” Shermaine rushed forward and stood right in front of Sylvia. Sylvia frowned. She tried to maintain her last bit of civility and said, “Move.” Shermaine was put in a difficult situation. “You really mustn't go in. Master Carter really does not like it when his meetings are interrupted.” Sylvia said coldly, “I’ve been with him so many years. Do you think you understand him more than me?” Shermaine was stunned. Sylvia refused to argue with the girl anymore. She walked around her and wanted to push on the door. Shermaine persistently stepped up again,

Chapter 1300

After coming out of the building, Sylvia got a ride home. On the way back, her phone suddenly rang. It was Odell. She hesitated for several seconds before picking it up. The man’s voice on the other end sounded a little heavy. “Where are you?” “I’m on the way back. What’s wrong?” “Why didn’t you wait for me?” His gruff voice was a sign that he was unhappy. Sylvia was annoyed by his tone too. “Why should I wait for you? You’re busy, aren’t you?” When Shermaine had knocked the door open, the man had obviously been unhappy, so why would she choose to be stupid enough to stay back? Hearing her tone, Odell assumed that she was mad because he did not talk to her earlier. He frowned and explained in a small voice, “I was really busy. I didn’t mean to ignore you.” Sylvia’s brows eased, but the irritation in her chest remained. “I said you were busy. I didn’t say you ignored me.” Her tone remained unhappy. Odell stroked his forehead. “I might not be coming home tonight. Don’
