Odell was in the other room and had no idea that his children were plotting to locate their mother.
He stood in front of the balcony with the windows opened. The night breeze blew against his towering figure.
He was leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth while toying with a wooden tortoise in his hand.
The wooden tortoise’s edges had been filed down by the repeated caresses, but the words carved on its
stomach was still visible.
As he stared at the little tortoise with a deep gaze, his mind uncontrollably played the scenes of that woman.
Her arrogance, the injustice to her, and the blank expression that she wore...everything was being replayed in
his mind. From the moment he confirmed his feelings for her to the moment she jumped into the lake, every
expression on her face flashed in his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe still failed to understand why would the woman, being the shameless person who cared a lot about the
kids, would have jumped into the lake.
If he could start over, he would not have broken her leg anymore. As long as she acknowledged her mistake
and promised to live a peaceful life with him, he could forget about her affair with Edmund and even his
grandmother’s incident.
All of a sudden, a strong gust blew.
It blew the cloud of smoke away and cleared his vision together with his thoughts.
It had been four months, four whole months since she had fallen into the lake.
If she were alive, she would have come back for the kids, but she was nowhere to be found. There was not
even a trace that she was alive.
'Is she really dead?’
After that, he tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and uncorked the whiskey on the table. He swigged
straight from the bottle instead of pouring it into a glass.
The next day, Isabel and Liam got up as usual, but no matter what Aunt Tonya and Sebastian said, they
refused to eat. They simply grabbed a few bites and that was it.
Aunt Tonya even tried to coax them with their favorite snacks, but it was useless. Not only Liam, but even the
gluttonous Isabel also refused to look at the snacks.
In the afternoon, Sebastian told the kitchen to prepare their favorite food and they still refused to eat.
Aunt Tonya asked, “Isabel, Liam, are you two feeling alright?”
Isabel pouted. “Here. This hurts.”
She pointed at her chest.
Aunt Tonya helplessly turned to Sebastian, requesting help.
Sebastian then pulled his phone out and called Odell.
Then, Liam suddenly said, “We want to go out.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSebastian held the call and said, “You want to go out and play?”
Aunt Tonya was intrigued too.
Isabel then said, “We want to go to Aunt Sherry’s place.”
“Who’s Aunt Sherry?” Sebastian asked.
Aunt Tonya said, “Sherry is Sylvia’s best friend.”
“Then, let’s contact her immediately,” Sebastian said.
“Okay, I’ll give her a call.”
Aunt Tonya just happened to have Sherry’s contact, so she made the call. Meanwhile, Isabel and Liam stood
side by side and stared at Aunt Tonya with an intrigued gaze.
Half an hour later, Sherry drove a fancy pink car to the house.
“Isabel, Liam, my babies! I’m here! ” Sherry strode into the living room.
Liam and Isabel exchanged a quick glance before they ran towards Sherry.
Liam politely greeted, “Aunt Sherry.”
Isabel said, “Aunt Sherry, you look so beautiful today! ”
