Chapter 777
Not long after, Sylvia came to Odell’s study with Liam and Isabel
The study was spacious and bright. Liam and Isabel sat behind his desk to do their homework on it.
Sylvia moved a stool over to sit on the other side of the desk to watch them.
What she had not expected was that not long after, Odell also came in.
He was still wearing his suit.
After he entered, he took a book from the shelf without sparing her a glance and went to the sofa to
read it.
It seemed that he had come in to read a book.
Sylvia peeked at him twice before withdrawing her gaze to continue watching Isabel and Liam.
The study was very quiet.
The only occasional sound was from Liam as he taught Isabel how to do her homework.
Sylvia placed her arms on the desk and rested her chin on her folded arms to stare at their cute little
faces in the
comfortable posture. On the sofa, the man who was reading a book raised his eyes and noticed her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlounging posture at a glance. The look in his eyes softened slightly, but not long after, he cleared his
throat.
Hearing his voice, Sylvia instantly straightened her back and sat upright. Odell’s lips curled and he
looked down again to continue reading
This time, Sylvia sat rigidly for a while. When her waist began to get sore, she cautiously looked over at
him. Seeing that he was still reading his book, she exhaled and lazily plopped back down onto the
table. Eventually, Isabel finished her homework.
It was already late at night by the time she put down her pen and raised her face to yawn.
Liam’s little face also looked tired.
Sylvia quickly took them by the hand and said to Odell,” Odell, Isabel has finished her homework. I’ll
send them to bed now.”
Odell looked at the pages of the book in his hands and simply hummed in reply. Sylvia led them back to
their room.
Only when they were both asleep in bed did she turn around and left the room.
Coincidentally, as she passed the living room, she saw Odell again.
He was sitting on the sofa, holding the same book that he had been reading in the study.
As Sylvia walked over, he raised his eyes to look at her. Meeting his gaze , Sylvia immediately said,
“Isabel and Liam have fallen asleep. I’ll be going back now.”
He picked up his teacup and took a sip, saying indifferently, “Starting tomorrow, if Isabel’s homework is
still done by Liam, you won’t have to come back anymore.” Sylvia pursed her lips. “I understand. I’ll
keep an eye on her. I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else.”
“Wait.”
She stopped and looked at him.
“It’s not easy to get a cab at this hour. Ben will send you back.” He looked at his book and spoke in a
cold and light voice.
Sylvia quickly said, “There’s no need to bother. I can get a cab at the intersection.”
He raised his eyes to look at her, and the look in his eyes
instantly turned cold. Sylvia immediately changed her words. “Okay, I won’t call for a cab.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell looked down at his book and ignored her.
Sylvia pursed her lips and walked out.
A white MPV was parked outside the door.
When she went out, Ben stepped out from the car and helped her open the backdoor.
She smiled at him. “Thank you, Ben.”
Ben smiled and replied, “Don’t thank me. It was all arranged by Master Carter.”
It had probably been arranged for her for the sake of the two children.
However, a warm feeling still arose in her chest.
After getting into the car, she took out her phone and sent a message to Odell. “Thank you for
arranging for Ben to send me home.”
After waiting for a while and not seeing a reply, she pursed her lips in slight disappointment and put the
phone back into her pocket.
Meanwhile, in the living room of the old Carter Residence, the man was holding his phone. He looked
at the line she sent, and a smile curled on his lips.
‘At least she has a little conscience.’
