Sherry frowned and was silent for two seconds before saying, "It's just that thing between men and women, but I'm fine. Let's go quickly."After saying that, she dragged Sylvia outside.Sylvia could feel that Sherry was very weak. She sank back toward Sylvia in just a few steps and almost slumped to the ground.Sylvia hurriedly held her up. "Are you okay? Can you hold on?"Sherry took a deep breath and looked at her. "Syl, thank you for coming to me, but you should go first. Don't mind me."If there was nothing wrong with her, Sylvia would have left first and thought of another method afterward. However, Sherry looked like the living dead. How could Sylvia possibly leave her there?She pointed to the wall she came in from and the tree by the wall, saying, "My friends are outside the wall. I remember that you know how to climb trees. Climb up that tree and over the wall, and you'll be out."Sherry looked over.The tree was sturdy, and the wall was not too high. Sylvia had friend

Sylvia stood in place, unmoving.Odell walked up to her and looked down at her with his deep eyes.Her hair was disheveled, her feet were bare, and her dress was obviously not the one she had worn when she went out that afternoon.Then, he looked at her small face.Sylvia looked at him weakly. "W-why are you here?""John invited me to attend his mother's party." His voice was a little cold.Sylvia also recalled something. 'The man who just carried Sherry into the room seems to be Odell's partner that I met at the elevator of the hotel yesterday. I didn't expect that business partner to refer to John. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked Zach for help. I would've gone directly to Odell.'She lowered her head and said in a small voice, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to see Sherry."The air was silent for a few moments before he asked, "Where are your shoes?"Jacob immediately ran from the side and held out the pair of high heels in his hands to Sylvia.Odell

Sylvia bit her lip. "I really didn't want to disturb your work.""Sylvia, who am I to you?"She hesitated. "Well, you are my husband."He lifted her face, his dark eyes staring into hers. "Instead of seeking help from your husband for such a big matter, you went to an unfamiliar man instead? Would you be happy if you were me?"Sylvia's chest tightened, and her throat choked up.After a while, she said softly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just...""Didn't want to disturb me, huh?" His lips curled up in a cold and self-deprecating smile.Sylvia pursed her lips. That was what she thought. She just did not know why he was this angry.The atmosphere was quiet for a long time, and his hand suddenly let go of her face.His dark eyes looked at her somewhat distantly. "Forget it, it's not your fault."After all, she had forgotten everything that happened in the past nine years. She had forgotten so many memories of being with him, so he could not blame her for being so distant from

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

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
