“It’s Aunt Tonya...” Tara observed the reaction on his face and continued, “But I believe she doesn’t mean it. I
didn’t know Isabel and Liam were in the living room, and I explained that I was there to see them. It slipped my
mind and I accidentally mentioned Sylvia’s death, so the kids heard it, then she slapped me.”
Odell frowned. “Go home first.”
He was worried about the kids and had no time to comfort Tara.
Tara immediately said, “Okay. Go check on Isabel and Liam. They need you right now.”
While Odell hummed a reply and went into the house, Tara sighed a breath of relief and wore a grin. Now that
the two little monsters knew their mother was gone, they would stop asking for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll Tara needed to do was visit frequently and show them care and love. They might then start to accept her
and rely on her as a mother figure.
Until then, she could be with Odell again without any more hindrance.
Odell strode into the living room.
Isabel was still crying loudly while Liam was hugging her. Both Sebastian and Aunt Tonya were helpless when
it came to comforting the girl.
The two of them stepped aside when Odell came in. He then carried the two of them back to their room.
Isabel was crying her lungs out and did not even care about who carried her. She buried her face in Odell’s
neck, and her tears and snot wet his collar.
Liam was relatively calm. He turned to his father and asked, “ Daddy, is Mommy really dead?”
He widened his big eyes in silence and observed his father’s reaction.
Odell was taken aback by how calm Liam was.
However, the boy was quiet and never expressed his emotions easily.
With that aside, Odell decided to be frank with the two of them. “ Mommy fell into the lake and we still can’t find
her now.”
Liam thought for a moment and asked, “Then, is there a chance that mommy is still alive?”
Odell went silent for a moment before he hummed a reply. It was possible that she was still alive, but the odds
were slim.
Liam then turned to Isabel and said, “Sis, Daddy still hasn’t found mommy. Mommy might be alive.”
Isabel paused her crying and looked at her brother with reddish eyes. “Really?”

“What if Mommy never comes back?”
Liam wiped her tears and snot away and said, “Then, we’ll continue to wait.”
The determination in his eyes calmed Isabel down. She sniffled and said, “Yeah, we’ll wait for Mommy to come
back! ”
Odell pursed his lips at Isabel’s brightened mood and the strange hope that they grasped onto. For the first
time in months, he finally wore a smile on his frosty face.
Later, Isabel and Liam finally went to sleep. Odell sighed a breath of relief and left the room.
The room returned to silence, but the little girl’s tears continued to trickle down her cheeks.
Fortunately, Liam was there to hug her to sleep.
A while later, he noticed a moving figure outside the door, so he quietly had a glance at the doorway.
Outside the door, Violet leaned against the wall and took pictures of inside the room with her phone.
