“Alright, it’s way easier if we only investigate him. I should be able to get back to you by tomorrow

morning.”

“Ok, thanks again.”

“No need for these formalities. Make sure you rest early and don’t worry too much. They won’t do

anything to Aunt Tonya.”

Sylvia grimaced and answered, “Okay.”

At the Carters’ residence, when Odell came to the living room, he saw Madam Carter sitting all alone on

the sofa.

He frowned and asked, “Grandma, where are Liam and Isabel?” The madam had a shifty look in her

eyes when she informed him, “They should be playing in their room.”

Odell stepped towards their room.

Before he reached the door, he could hear Isabel complaining from inside, “I’m gonna turn the meanie

into a turtle! Or I’ll turn him into a puppy…”

She was busy casting a spell on him.

Without further thought, he pushed the door open. Isabel, who was on the floor and badmouthing him,

immediately zipped her lips. Liam moved in front of her, fearing that Odell would grab her and teach her

a hard lesson.

Nevertheless, Odell entered and nonchalantly pulled a chair to sit in front of them. He asked,” Have you

two had dinner yet?”

Isabel turned away snobbishly. “Hmmph!”

She ignored him!

Odell scowled and turned to Liam.

Liam answered, “I’ve eaten.” “What did you eat?”

“Food.”

Odell had no comeback to that. He glanced at the watch on his wrist to see what time it was.

After that, he took a book from the bookshelf next to him.

He glanced at Liam and Isabel, then he coughed softly and announced stiffly, “Sit down. Let me tell you a

bedtime story.”

Isabel pouted and objected, “I don’t want to hear your story.”

Odell raised his eyebrows. “Then, you can sleep with me tonight.” Isabel immediately shut her lips and

clung to her brother’s arm with all her might. The only thing scarier than listening to his bedtime story

was having to sleep with him! Odell grinned with satisfaction and proceeded to read from the storybook.

Meanwhile, Ben the bodyguard emerged from the other end of the corridor and arrived in the living room.

He handed Madam Carter’s mobile phone back to her. The madam asked, “Did Odell find out?” Ben

answered, “The kids reacted very quickly, so Master Carter didn’t notice a thing.” Madam Carter heaved

a sigh of relief.

An hour later, after successfully coaxing Liam and Isabel to sleep, Odell put the storybook down and

carried them back to the bed one by one before covering them with a blanket. Then, he went back to his

bedroom. Compared to the warm, cozy room that the children shared, his room was empty and lacked

any semblance of homeliness.

A cold breeze blew in from the balcony. Odell frowned and went to the balcony. He was going to close

the door connecting the balcony to the bedroom but found himself stepping out onto the balcony and

facing north. It was a cool night, and many houses toward the north were still illuminated by an array of

bright interior lights, including the one where Sylvia lived. A few days had passed already, but the woman

still had not come for Isabel and Liam. It did not seem like she was going to come to him to apologize

either. Was she going to give up on them?

Odell wore a stoic look. He proceeded to pick up a binocular that was left in the corner and aimed it

toward Sylvia’s place.

He was curious to see what would keep her up at night. Did she bring Tristan back home to spend the

night with her? This woman must have given up on her children!
