Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 821

The hazy mist of cigarette smoke was dispersed by the wind.

However, the hazy, gloomy look on his face failed to be deterred by the wind.

Cliff came to stand several meters behind Odell and whispered, “ Sir, Miss Lily is gone. I don’t think she will come back to bother

you today.”

After waiting for a while without receiving a response, Cliff added, “Our guys just told me that Miss Sylvia just had breakfast. She

then put up some decorations around the house before sitting back on the sofa and has been watching television since. It doesn’t

seem like she has any plans to go out so far. Also, Sebastian just called to ask if you were going to leave the hospital today. He

says that the young master and the young miss are already at home waiting for you to head home for the New Year’s celebration.

Would you...

Would you like me to sort out the procedures for you to be discharged?”

Perhaps due to the cold wind blowing in from outside, he shivered involuntarily when he finished speaking.

Odell was still standing like an unmoving totem next to the window. His wounded hand hung limply by his side as he held a

cigarette with the other hand.

A dark, oppressive aura seemed to emanate from his body, which seemed to be even colder than the wind outside. Cliff even

began to feel like he was suffocating.

After not receiving a reply from Odell for a long time, he slowly withdrew from the room.

The day passed in the blink of an eye.

Sylvia had just finished dinner when she got a call from Isabel.

The little girl immediately chattered on, asking her if she had eaten anything along with all sorts of random questions.

Sylvia answered each of her questions, except that she left out the detail that she had only eaten a bowl of noodles the entire

day. Then, she asked Isabel how she and her brother were doing.

The little girl suddenly grumpily muttered, “It’s just me and brother eating at home tonight.”

Sylvia seemed mildly surprised by this, "Did your father not come home yet?"

Wasn’t it mostly just his hand that was injured? Shouldn’t he have come home by now?

Isabel informed, “Uncle Sebastian says that the baddie is still in the hospital and that he’s not coming back yet.”

Sylvia frowned. Were his injuries more serious than she thought?

Suddenly, Isabel shouted out, "It must be an excuse! He must have gone on a date with Aunt Lily! I see this all the time on TV

shows. Couples in love have to spend the New Year together, especially since they are already engaged.”

Sylvia pursed her lips and mentioned, “Maybe, but I’m sure he will come back to spend time with you and your brother tomorrow."

"Hmph, let him spend time with his new girl, we can’t be bothered to see him.”

She huffed as she spoke, clearly feeling very unhappy.

Sylvia smiled and tried to console her, “Be a good girl, Isabel. The way your dad cares about you and your brother is different

from the way he cares about Aunt Lily...”

It took a long while to console the disgruntled little girl.

Then, Sylvia chatted a short while with Liam before finally wrapping up the call.

Silence fell upon the living room again.

She stared at the time on her phone and zoned out.

Before long, she fell asleep without realizing it.

She slept until around midnight when the sound of fireworks exploding in the sky above suddenly tore through the silence.

Sylvia’s eyes snapped open immediately.

She picked up her phone and removed Thomas contact from the blacklist.

She promptly wrote a message and sent it to him: “It’s the New Year now, can you let Aunt Tonya come back now?”

Before coming back, the two of them had made an agreement that if she managed to hold out alone in Westchester until the New

Year, he would fulfill his end of the deal and allow Aunt Tonya to return.

He must have known about Odell’s engagement with Lily, and that was why he had intentionally sent Sylvia back to Westchester

on the day of their engagement.

Even though there had been some hiccups along the way, Sylvia had persisted until now.

After sending the text, she clenched her phone tightly and stared intently at the display.

About a minute later, her phone notification rang like a bell.

Thomas replied to her and told her: “Okay.”

Her eyes glowed up, and a brilliant smile immediately appeared on her face.

He said yes!

Aunt Tonya was coming back! With Aunt Tonya back, all of them along with the children would be reunited in Westchester and

never have to be separated again!

With this in mind, she picked up the phone again and began typing a new text. She wanted to ask him when he would be sending

Aunt Tonya back to Westchester. It was then that the lights in the living room suddenly went out, plunging her surroundings in

complete darkness.

Sylvia jumped from the sudden blackout, but then she noticed lights coming from the yard.

She noticed that the door leading to the living room had been thrown open, letting in wisps of cold air from the outside.

That was when she noticed a tall, dark, figure standing by the door of the living room.

The ominous figure was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. His eyes seemed to gleam from within the

darkness as they were fixed upon her.

It was an eerie sight that made her shudder.

“Who... who are you?" she asked in a quivering voice.
