Chapter 271

He had been watching her from the dark and did not show up earlier because he wanted to stop her

from running. Besides, it had been two days since he last saw her, and he had started to miss her

uncontrollably.

That was why he hid in the dark and watched her every move.

Sylvia wished she had a tray to block her face, but she had nothing. She bit the bullet and lowered her

head in awkwardness.

The dining table went quiet for a moment.

Madam Carter sharply noticed something was not right. She switched her gaze between Sylvia and

Odell, trying to find out what was up with them. Even Isabel and Liam looked at the two of them in

confusion. Then, Isabel said, “Big meanie, why are you looking at my Mommy?” Odell put a piece of

fish on her plate. “Eat your dinner.” Isabel grunted. “Don’t look at my Mommy!” Madam Carter knew

something was out of the ordinary, but she could not pinpoint exactly what. She turned to Isabel and

said with an awkward smile, “Isabel, eat your dinner. Liam, you

too.”

Dinner went on in a tense and awkward atmosphere.

The moment she finished the last bit of food on her plate, Sylvia got up and tried to leave. Isabel held

her back. “Mommy, where are you going?”

Liam also widened his eyes at her.

They looked like they would sulk or even cry if Sylvia said she was going home. Sylvia pursed her lips

and said, “I’m going to wash my hands.” The two little rascals’ eyes gleamed. “Me too!” Isabel jumped

out from the chair, and Liam did the same. Sylvia had to bring the two of them to the bathroom, leaving

Odell alone at the table. He wiped his hands with the napkin as he watched the mother and children go

off to the bathroom. There was a strange and discreet grin on his face.

He did not even do anything, but the two little rascals held her back for him.

“That’s all you’ve got, yet you try to escape from my grasp? You’ve overestimated yourself.’

Sylvia accompanied Isabel and Liam until 9 p.m.

After sending them to bed, she snuck out of their room but bumped into Odell in the corridor.

He leaned on the wall with his hands crossed in front of his chest, looking like a lazy lion. His deep

gaze sized her up from top to bottom when she came out. “Are they asleep?” Sylvia hummed a reply

and wanted to walk away. “They are going back to school tomorrow,” he said. “I know.”

He raised his brows and asked, “Do you want to see them whenever you want?”

His question caught Sylvia off guard. She could not help but look at him with a baffled look. His deep

eyes, slightly narrowed, were looking at her with a hint of scheming. A quick hesitation later, Sylvia

asked, “Sure, I’d want that, but would you agree to it?” Odell grinned. “Come closer and I’ll tell you

how.” Sylvia froze on the spot, her eyes filled with caution. Odell waited, but she did not approach him,

so he took the initiative to move closer to her face. Sylvia wanted to avoid him, but his hastened pace

allowed him to reach her in just two big steps. He reached out to her wrist and pulled her closer to his

chest. His hand curled around her waist like a snake constricting its prey. She put her hands between

herself and his chest, attempting to draw distance. She frowned and looked at him.

“Odell, let me go!” she said in a small voice because she did not want to startle Madam Carter.

However, Odell tightened his hug around her waist and even lifted her up. As Sylvia’s body was lifted

up, her forehead almost touched the tip of his nose. Any higher and he would be able to force his lips

on hers. She said with gnashing teeth, “Odell, stop it!” He grinned. His deep voice whispered into her

ears, “As long as you listen to me and not avoid me, I will agree for you to see the kids whenever you

want. You can even have a sleepover with them.”
