Chapter 917
“Oh.”
She was fine with them not being here because she knew that the children would cry again if they saw her,
especially the cute little chubby girl. The sheer thought of it upset her.
She picked up the spoon and began eating.
She went straight for her favorite dishes.
She eyed a plate of fish that was just slightly too far away from her. However, she estimated the distance and
guessed that she would have to stretch her arms almost across the table just to reach it, so she decided against it.
She lowered her head and went back to eating what was already on her plate.
That was when a piece of the fish that she had been eyeing was placed on her plate.
It was none other than Odell who had given it to her.
He put one piece on her plate, then another, and yet another before stopping.
Sylvia was very astonished by this as if she had witnessed some sort of miracle. She thanked him kindly, “Master
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarter, don‘t worry about me, please just enjoy your meal.”
Odell frowned and spoke in a gentle voice, “I‘m your husband, just call me by my name.”
“Oh,” muttered Sylvia , and ate the piece of fish with her head lowered.
She ate quickly and set down her cutlery after she had eaten her fill.
“I‘m already full. Please, take your time.”
She stood up and prepared to leave.
Odell grabbed her wrist and asked, “Where are you going?”
Sylvia replied, “I want to talk to Aunt Tonya.”
She wanted to ask Aunt Tonya what had happened all these nine years.
“You want to ask her about the past nine years?” His dark eyes were staring at her so intently that it felt as if they
would bore holes into her skull.
Sylvia blinked and muttered, “Something like that.”
Odell made a look, “I can tell you about it.”
“There‘s no... No need, I‘ll just ask Aunt Tonya.” She pulled her hand free, then turned and walked outside.
Odell‘s expression darkened, he informed, “Aunt Tonya is upstairs.”
“Okay.” Sylvia turned around and went up the stairs.
She walked as fast as she could, making sure to avoid Odell‘s gaze as if she was afraid of being devoured by him.
Odell stared at her deeply. After she went upstairs, he took out
his phone and called Skylar.
When Skylar picked up, he asked immediately, “Are you free later?”
“Good, let‘s meet up.”
Meanwhile, Sylvia spotted both Liam and Isabel squatting side by side in the corner the moment she walked up the
stairs.
It was quite obvious that the two had been trying to eavesdrop.
When they saw Sylvia coming up the stairs, they seemed overwhelmed with guilt and stared at her warily.
Sylvia smiled and acted as if she did not know what they were doing. She asked curiously, “What are you two doing
here?”
Isabel, “Hmph! You know exactly what we are doing!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe seemed very upset and puffed up her round cheeks until she looked like a ball.
Liam frowned and turned to her, “It‘s not like Mom wants to forget about us, don‘t be angry at her.”
There was still a grimace on Isabel‘s face, but her eyes began swelling up with tears.
Sylvia quickly approached them. Then, she knelt and patted the girl‘s head, “Dear, even if I don‘t remember you
now, just know that I‘m still your mother and I wouldn’t abandon you.”
Perhaps it was because of their blood relationship, she had taken a liking to them as soon as she had seen them
and seeing them upset made her sad as well.
Isabel burrowed herself tightly into Sylvia‘s embrace and muttered weakly, “I don‘t want Mommy to forget me.”
Sylvia felt something tightening in her chest as she silently embraced Isabel.
Isabel seemed to calm down after this, she turned up and looked at Sylvia with a vulnerable expression , “Mommy,
you’ll remember us, won‘t you?”
Sylvia was dumbfounded.
She had been transported here from nine years ago, how was she supposed to remember?”
However, the little girl‘s hurt expression wounded her, so she promised her, “Yes, I will.”
