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

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‘t wait for me for dinner.”
“Yeah, I got it.” Sylvia then hung up the phone. It was then she realized she had an unread text. She tapped on it
and her brows furrowed. It explained why he had called her and asked her why she did not wait for him.
She must have received the text when she walked out of the office, but Shermaine had held her up and made her
forget to look at her phone.
Since they already spoke on the phone, any further explanation became unnecessary, so she simply put her phone
away.
Back in the lobby of Carter Tower, Odell stared at the blank screen of his phone. He furrowed his brows and then
pocketed his phone.
He turned around to Shermaine and said, “Are the documents ready?”
Shermaine replied with a smile, “Yes, sir.”
“Call Cliff. We‘re heading out.”
“Yes. sir. But, sir...” Shermaine paused for a moment before continuing, “Mrs. Carter seemed upset when she left.
There‘s still half an hour before the next meeting. Do
you want to call her to explain things?” 1
He wanted to, but she refused to listen, so he planned to settle the matter after his work.
“No need. We‘ll head to the venue directly.” He then walked towards the parking lot.

Sylvia returned home during lunch and saw Madam Carter and Aunt Tonya feeding Flint.
Flint obediently guzzled everything they fed him. He widened his smile when he saw his mother and said,“
Mommy!” The adorable voice soothed the irritation in her chest. She went over with a sweet smile and carried the
boy into her arms.
“Grandma, Aunt Tonya, you guys eat. I‘ll take care of Flint.” She sat down and took over from the two elderly
ladies.
Flint ate another spoon of rice and then said, “Mommy, is Daddy home?”
Sylvia looked slightly disheartened. “Not yet. He‘s still busy, so maybe in a day or two.”
Her words left the little boy disheartened as well. “Oh...”
Sylvia stroked his puffy cheek and said, “I‘ll bring you out later, and we can go pick up Liam and Issy. Then, we‘ll go
shopping. How about that?”
