The silence lasted for several seconds.
Sylvia was the one who spoke first, “I… I just came out to get some fresh air.”
She was insinuating that she was not trying to meet the kids or spy on them either.
Odell ordered with a sharp scowl, “Get back in there.”
Sylvia grimaced.
She did not need him to order her around. She was going to go home anyway.
She had come out in a hurry and forgot to put on a pair of slippers or even a coat at the very least. All
she had on were two thin layers of clothing to protect her from the cold.
She did not utter a word, then turned and headed toward the living room.
“Hurry up!” Odell suddenly barked behind her.
His sudden exclamation ended up spooking Sylvia. The soles of her bare feet slipped against the
slippery snow. She lost her foothold and felt her body plunging toward the bed of snow.
Everything happened in an instant. Then, she felt a

muscular arm firmly holding on to her.
With such strength, she was pulled back to her feet in an instant.
The inertia drew her backward and plunged her into his muscular chest.
In an instant, she sensed the warm body temperature of Odell enveloping her. She could smell his

She had an impulse to hug him.
However, her rational mind took over and made her draw two steps backward. She apologized, “I’m
sorry, I didn’t mean to fall into your arms.”
Odell’s face darkened.
She kept quiet after that.
She thought that he would inevitably get upset no matter what she said, so it was better for her to never
appear in front of him ever again.
She frantically walked into the living room.
Upon entering , she quickened her pace and climbed up the stairs.
Just like that, her clumsy and frantic figure vanished out of sight.
Odell was sitting underneath the morning sun with a thin morning mist surrounding him, but there was a
raging

fire burning inside his eyes.
Did she think that he was some sort of beast? That he would eat her alive?
What happened to her strength half a year ago when she stabbed him? Where did that all go?
How did she turn so cowardly? Was it because she got dumped by Thomas?
Sylvia quickly returned to her bedroom.
Her hands and feet were freezing. She took a hot shower and put on thick layers of cotton-made
clothes before stepping out.
The yard was now empty. There was nobody to be seen.
Odell must have left. She breathed a sigh of relief. Then she called a house cleaning agency and
requested help for cleaning the place
up.
After settling these affairs, she went to a nearby shopping district where she found a decent place for
breakfast.
The inside of the restaurant was warm and cozy.
She chose a seat right next to a window.
Shortly after that, the waiter brought her a plate of hot and steaming breakfast.

She smiled politely and thanked the waiter, then she got started on her breakfast.
A short distance from the restaurant was a black car parked by the roadside.
A man sat by the car window and was spying on Sylvia through the car window. His eyes were two
balls of lightless void.
He was close enough to be able to see the most minute movement she made while eating. Even
though it was just a common meal, she seemed to be eating with great delight. As if she was eating the
greatest delicacy known to man. As if she had been starving for ages.
By the time she finished, she even picked up the bowl and drank every last sip of soup in it. After she
set down the bowl, she accidentally let out a burp.

The driver who was in the front row seat with him was looking at Sylvia as well. When he heard Odell’s
chuckle, he followed suit and chuckled as well.
Odell’s expression immediately transformed as he asked sternly, “What are you laughing at?” The
driver quickly explained, “I thought that Miss Sylvia looks pretty cute when she’s eating.”

“You want to repeat that?” His voice was sharp with ice this time.
A wavering look appeared in the driver’s eyes as he repeated reluctantly, “I thought that Miss Sylvia
looks pretty cute when she’s eating.”
“Say it again.”
“I…I…” the driver stammered. Did he say something he was not supposed to say? He was at a loss of
what to do when he spied from the corner of his eyes the sight of Sylvia stepping out of the restaurant.
He quickly pointed out in desperation. “Master Carter, she just left the restaurant. Should we follow
her?”
“Go.”
He quickly started the car engine.
He thought he was out of the woods and was about to heave a sigh of relief when suddenly, a cold and
accusing voice came from the back again. “Do you have a thing for
her?»
