Chapter 926
There was an aggrieved expression on the little girl‘s chubby face and she looked as if she had just been told that
she had been abandoned.
Sylvia felt her heart ache upon seeing Isabel in this state. She hurriedly got up and upon approaching Isabel, she
quickly gathered her into her arms and apologized, “Isabel, I‘m very sorry, it‘s my fault. I shouldn‘t have forgotten
my promise.”
Isabel pouted and huffed, “Hmph.”
Her tears welled up inside her eyes and she was still visibly upset.
Sylvia caressed her cheeks and offered, “I‘ll play with you right now, is that alright?”
Isabel‘s expression did not change and she did not seem very receptive to the idea.
She wanted to play with her mother but at the same time, she was reluctant to forgive her so easily.
Sylvia suddenly had an idea, so she lowered her head and gently pecked Isabel on the cheek.
This seemed to do the trick, and Isabel muttered, “Hmph, I guess I‘ll forgive you this time.”
Sylvia smiled, “Thank you.”
She led Isabel into the living room.

cars.
Liam and Flint were seated side by side on the carpet, Liam held a book in his hand while Flint was chewing on a
toy.
When he noticed that Isabel had appeared with their mother, Liam put down the book and turned to look at her
with a cool expression on his face.
Sylvia quickly apologized, “Liam, I‘m sorry to keep you and your sister waiting.”
Liam pursed his lips and murmured, “It‘s okay.”
“Wah... Flint dropped the toy and stretched out his little chubby arms towards Sylvia.
Sylvia hurried toward Flint with Isabel. Then, she sat down on the floor with them and took Flint into her arms.
The little boy fell into her arms and was very well–behaved.
Sylvia set Flint right next to her and picked up two controllers . She handed them to Isabel and Liam and challenged
them,” Come on, let‘s race!”
It was one of Isabel‘s favorite games to play, evident by how she enthusiastically took the gamepad while not
forgetting to turn to her brother, “Come on, hurry up!”
With that, the trio of mother, son, and daughter began to play at car racing.
Despite being only children, Liam and Isabel were as good as veterans and could more than hold their own. Very
soon, Sylvia‘s car was overtaken by them as soon as the race began. After she finally managed to overtake them
again, they revved their engines and passed them yet again, Isabel even rammed into her car several times in the
process.
Isabel‘s exuberant cries echoed in the living room.
Flint was also giggling despite not completely comprehending what was happening.
Even the usually quiet Liam was having a good time, evident by the wide grin on his face.
Sylvia felt happy as well to see that they were having a good time.
The day quickly passed by in the blink of an eye.
When evening came around, Sylvia had them switch to playing another kind of multiplayer game.
Each one of them remained holding one controller.
Sylvia was rather uncoordinated when it came to gaming and her avatar was always knocked out as soon as the
round began. Even Isabel was beginning to make fun of her by calling her a dummy.
She was getting frustrated , she had already memorized all of the controls and yet her character was still knocked
out every round as soon as she spawned.
She frowned in frustration.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabel sighed softly.
Liam, “Mommy, you‘ll get the hang of it after a few more rounds.”
Sylvia wore a tight–knit frown.
It would not help even if she played ten more rounds, she was simply not good at the game.
Just when she was about to give up, a tall figure who had already been standing behind them for some time
suddenly approached her.
He gently carried Liam who was sitting on her right and moved him aside. Then he sat down next to her with his
legs crossed and said, “Here, let me try.”
His low, magnetic voice seemed to mesmerize her as he took the controller without her even realizing it.
Sylvia was appalled by the suddenness of it all. She silently gazed at his handsome side profile, as she felt her heart
skip a beat.
Isabel turned to Odell and challenged him, “Hey Baddie, are you sure you want to play against us? There will be
punishments if you lose to us!”
Odell glanced at Sylvia and taunted Isabel playfully, “Bring it on.”
Something gleamed in Isabel‘s eyes, she turned to Liam and said, “I‘ll even let you take first place after we beat
him!”
Liam murmured, “Sure.”
With that, the scoreboard was reset to zero and a new round commenced.
