Chapter 747
Odell sized him up and answered blankly, “Because we have cleaners come by from time to time.”
“Do they clean the room me and my sister used to sleep
in?”
“Yeah.”
“Do they change our bedsheets?”.
“Yeah.”
Liam grimaced.
He was still standing stoutly without the slightest hint of wanting to leave. After a prolonged standstill ,
he looked around the dark house and frowned before asking suspiciously, “Are you sure Mommy didn’t
come back?” When they came here this morning, he was sure he caught the scent of his mother.
Odell fell silent for a few seconds before declaring, “No.”
It was not so much that he was not willing to let them see their mother, but that the wretched woman
did not have the right to see them this easily!
Liam turned to Isabel. “Come on, let’s go back.”

“Okay,” Isabel answered with a firm nod.
There was a clear look of disappointment on their faces.
Odell frowned and glanced in the direction of Sylvia’s room. Then he followed them and walked them
out.
They held on tightly to each other’s hands and slowly walked out with their heads craned to the ground.
Their tiny figures seemed to be filled with grief as if they were abandoned children.
Even though their father was right next to them. “Hurry up,” he urged. Isabel pouted, she resisted the
urge to cry and muttered,” Okay.”
The two of them quickened their steps and went back to their house one block over.
Odell followed them until they reached the door of their bedroom. He kept their eyes on them and made
sure they crawled back into their beds before he turned away and closed the door.
Meanwhile, inside Sylvia’s bedroom.
She was squatting by the window with her hands cupping her cheeks.
She heard movements the moment Isabel and Liam opened the door and came into the house.

She heard their entire conversation with Odell as well.
Something must have aroused their suspicion when they came during the day, which was why they
decided to sneak here at night again. She could tell by their voice that they missed her dearly and were
dejected at not getting to see her.
These thoughts consumed her mind and made her spiral out of control. Tears began to fall against her
will.
No, no. She had to control herself.
Now she knew that her children missed her. Since she was back already, it was only a matter of time
until Odell allowed her to see them. Even if he adamantly opposed it now, time would tell.
She got up and went to the bathroom where she washed her face with warm tap water.
It was around ten in the morning by the time Sylvia opened her eyes. She must have slept too late last
night.
The bedroom windows were still sealed tightly with iron sheets, obstructing sunlight from entering the
room. She washed up and went to the living room. The scorching sun was burning in the skies above.

She came into the yard and stretched out underneath the glow of the sun.
After that, she went to the wall as usual and tried to listen to any signs of movement in the neighboring
yard.
Since it was Sunday, she figured that the children must be at home.
She stood there for an entire hour and heard nothing but the common chatter of two housemaids in the
house.
She went back to the living room and sat on the patio. She bathed under the sun and reached for her
phone where she sent a text to Odell: “Good morning.”
With a smiley face at the end.
She wanted to get on his good side.
There was no reply sometime after the text was sent.
Either he had not read the message, or he was not interested in replying.
The latter seemed like a more likely possibility.
Sylvia pursed her lips and continued sitting on the patio where she zoned out for some time. Since
there were no signs of any activity in the neighboring yard after some time, she upped and went to the
kitchen where she fixed herself something to eat.
