NovelOnlineChapter 452
On the phone, Melanie sensed Tara's hesitation and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything,
Tara? Did you encounter some kind of difficulty?"
Tara said with annoyance, "It's those two runts that Sylvia left behind. They won't let me get
close to them at all. They won't even let me approach that old hag."
"Those damned children... They must have been taught that way by their bitch of a mother,"
Melanie cussed. Then, she said, " There's no rush. Sylvia isn't around anymore, so you can coax
them patiently. When you and Odell get married, you can find a way to get rid of them then."
'Yes, since that bitch is gone, as long as I get married to Odell, I have plenty of time to torment
them later."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTara looked much better. "I know."
In the Carters' residence, Odell had not been standing outside for long when Violet came up to
him and said, "Master Carter, the Young Miss is asleep."
Odell stepped into the room and reached out to pick up Isabel from Madam Carter's side. He
carried the little girl upstairs to the bedroom where Sylvia used to stay before.
There was only a warm wall lamp lit in the bedroom.
Liam was sitting on the floor next to the bed, his hands fiddling with the Rubik's cube that Sylvia
personally made for him. His small figure was very quiet, and his large eyes were trained on the
cube. It was like he had reverted back to the days before Sylvia brought Isabel back.
Odell placed Isabel on the bed, then went to Liam and said to him, " Bedtime."
Liam ignored him and continued to fiddle with the toy. It was obvious that his attention was
completely focused on the cube. He did not hear Odell's words.
Odell simply picked him up from the floor to the bed and took away the Rubik's cube in his
hands.
Liam frowned at him.
Odell said in a low voice, "Sleep. I'll return the cube to you tomorrow morning."
His expression was cold and serious, filled with the sternness of a father.
Liam pursed his lips and turned around to lay down next to his sister. He wrapped his little arms
around her and closed his eyes.
Odell stood there for a long time. After they fell asleep, he turned off the lights and walked out.
Several days later, Tara came again in the evening.
Isabel and Liam were not home, and neither was Odell was not around either. When she arrived,
only Sebastian was in the living room.
She smiled and said to him, "Sebastian, I've come to see Grandma and the kids."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSebastian did not feel anything for Tara because Madam Carter did not like her, but knowing that
Odell cared about her, he replied politely, "Ms. Avery, the doctor is examining the Madam at this
moment, so it's not convenient for you to see her. The Young Master and Young Miss haven't
returned from school either. Why don't you come back another day?"
"It seems like I've come at a bad time." Tara showed a regretful look and handed over the things
that she was carrying. "These are the gifts I bought for Isabel and Liam. I hope they'll like it."
Sebastian took them and said politely, "You shouldn’t have gone through the trouble."
"Sylvia isn't around anymore, and Odell is very busy, so it's only right that I take care of them."
Sebastian's expression flickered as he said nothing.
Tara suddenly looked toward the kitchen. "They should be back from school soon. I'll go cook
dinner for them."
He suddenly said, "No need, Ms. Avery. Dinner will be prepared by someone else."
"It's better if I cook. I remember that they love Sylvia's home- cooked food. Sylvia and I used to
be good friends, so I know how to cook basically everything she does."
Then, she went into the kitchen before he could say anything.
Sebastian frowned and quickly shot a look at a maid to follow him.
