Chapter 212 Odell swept a nce at Sylvia and proceeded to take Isabel into his arms while turning to
the housekeeper, “Maxworth, prep dinner.” The butler proceeded to the kitchen.
Madam Carter finally quieted down and turned to Sylvia. “Syl, bring Liam here to join us for dinner.”
“Alright, Grandmother.” Sylvia quickly carried Liam and sat with the madam herself. Meanwhile, Odell
took Isabel and sat across from Sylvia. The dinner was rather lively and everything was progressing
civilly. After dinner, Sylvia spent time ying with Isabel and Liam as she always did before she took
them to their bedroom and put them to bed. She onlye out after they fell asleep.
Madam Carter and the housekeeper had gone to rest some time ago, so only Odell remained in the
living room. She pretended to not notice him and walked quickly outside. “Stop,” he suddenly called after
her. She pretended not to hear and continued advancing. Just when she seemed like she was about to
step out of the living room, the faint glimmer of arge shadow cast over her from behind. She felt her
neck tightening. Odell grabbed her by the back of her cor and hissed grimly, “Are you deaf? Didn‘t you
hear
me?”
Sylvia jerked her neck and asked in a discontent manner, “Do you need something?”
“Turn around.” He released his grip on her cor.
Sylvia knew that she could not outrun him. She took a few steps forward before turning around and
regarded him with a pointed look from roughly two meters away.
Odell was silent for a while, then he started solemnly, “Come here.”
Sylvia stood still. “If you have something to say, now‘s your time. I have to go home.”
He looked at her severely. “I‘ll count to three. You decide for yourself.” His idle face was thinly veiled with
hostility. Sylvia thought of Isabel and Liam and proceeded to take two steps toward him.
Odell beckoned again. “Right in front of me.” Sylvia took some liberty with her wording. “Odell, isn‘t it
inappropriate for us to be meeting in
private like this?”
Odell ignored her pleas and cast a dark look at her.
She added, “Don‘t I annoy you to no end? What the hell happened to you?”
She looked puzzled and deeply troubled.

Odell ignored everything she said and continued frowning deeply.
Sylvia‘s eyes beamed as she smiled coyly. “Odell, don‘t tell me you‘ve fallen for me?” His expression
suddenly became fierce. “Get out.” It was precisely what Sylvia was waiting for. The moment he uttered
those words, she had already run a couple of meters away from him.
She was out of the door in the blink of an eye.
A thickset, gloomy cloud appeared over his face.

Since it was the school holidays, Liam and Isabel no longer had to go to kindergarten during the day.
Shortly after Sylvia woke up the next day, their tiny figures dashed toward her from the door.

“Mommy, Brother and I are here to visit you!” Isabel ran like a duckling with her feet waddling hastily in
front of her.
Liam was calmer in contrast. He strutted withposure behind his sister.
Aunt Tonya was in the yard at the time, and when she saw them, she immediately dropped what she was
doing and ran to them excitedly, “Liam, Isabel, you kids are here!”
“Aunt Tonya, I missed you so much!” Isabel ran towards her and flung herself into her arms.
Aunt Tonya smiled and hugged her before leading her and Liam into the living room. Soon, Sylvia joined
them in the living room, where she spent her time showering them with hugs and kisses.
This was the start of a joyful day. Sylvia yed with them all day and only sent them back to the Carters‘
after the sky had almost turned dark.
The next day, they showed up at her ce again.
It seemed clear enough that their holiday n was to spend time with her.
Sylvia began nning the activities for each day. They would either stay at home together all day or she
would take them somewhere nice.
