Chapter 1379
Odell curled his lips. “I was wrong for raising my voice at you, but I didn‘t do it for her. I never meant to defend her. At that time, she was no different in my eyes from the othe
“Hmph. When she framed Charles, you stood by her persistently and completely ignored my explanation. I‘m your wife,
but you didn‘t stand by me at all in front of so many people!”
Sylvia got angry at the thought of that scene. She crossed her arms across her chest and looked at him huffily. Her appearance was quite cute.
Odell looked at her and explained slowly, “First of all, Shermaine and Charles are not related. I couldn‘t find any reason for
Shermaine to frame Charles at that time. Besides, she was my secretary. Between Charles and her, of course, I‘d favor her.
“Moreover, before the incident between Shermaine and

I was also very angry at that time.”
There were times when his anger got the better of him and he lost his rationality.
Sylvia asked, “You said Charles is interested in me? What nonsense are you talking about?“.
Odell raised his chin slightly. His tone was immediately more self-confident than before. “He said it himself. He only went to talk to Shermaine because
he saw that she looked like you.”
Sylvia frowned. “He did it because he saw that Shermaine looked pretty.”
“There were many beautiful women present. Why did he talk to Shermaine, the person who looked like you, instead of anyone else?”
Sylvia was a little annoyed. “Stop speaking nonsense. We‘re just normal colleagues.”
Odell‘s expression did not change. “He‘s interested in you.”
Sylvia held back her anger. “Stop being unreasonable .”
He raised his brows. “Say that again.”
“Stop being unreasonable !” She glared at him and said angrily, “I can say it a hundred more times. What are you going to do about it?”
“I can‘t do anything about it.” He smiled seemingly helplessly. “It‘s because you‘re my wife.”
Sylvia choked up, and she could not help but look at him. “Even if you have a point, the fact is that Shermaine
framed Charles. I also saw her bump into you. She must have done it
on purpose.” Odell pursed his lips. Looking back at it now, Charles had most likely been framed by Shermaine. That night
when she bumped into him was not an accident either.
“Yeah.” His dark eyes looked at her. “I was wrong.”
Sylvia‘s gaze flickered, and the depression piled up in her chest instantly disappeared. Her nose stung, and she said in a hoarse voice, “It‘s good that you know.”

However, her hand was clutched by his large one. He looked at her and said softly, “The food is cold. I just ordered takeout. Eat it when it arrives soon.”
“Okay.” Sylvia obediently put down the fork.
Odell smiled. Looking at her like this, he soon could not help but take her into his arms. He made her sit on his lap and wrapped his arms around her.
They had not met for a long time. Even though Sylvia was angry at him, she still missed him. She half-
heartedly punched him a few times and then leaned into his arms, feeling the comfortable body heat from his body. Just like
that, she seemed to feel slightly better. Then, the hotel staff brought up the takeout that Odell ordered.
Odell placed her on the bed, got up, and went to the door to bring it in.
The packaging of the meal was very delicate , and Sylvia immediately saw the hotel logo on the bag. This restaurant was not listed on
the takeout menu. He must have contacted the restaurant directly to order the food.
After opening the container , the aroma wafted into the surroundings. It was fragrant and nutritious.
