Sylvia’s studio was designed to face the south. There was a huge ceiling-to-floor window that was not


    veiled by the curtain. Therefore, he was able to have a clear look at her painting with the kids.


    By simply staring at the heart-warming scene, the frosty expression on his face softened.


    The day went by in the blink of an eye, and the sky was already dark.


    Isabel was already snoring on the ground, but Liam had a sudden urge to draw longer.


    Sylvia did not want them to leave either, so she texted Edmund to tell him not to wait for her.


    “I have some free time on my hand anyway. Just text me when you are done,” Edmund replied.


    She apanied them until a little past 8 p.m. After Liam was done painting, Sylvia drove them back to


    the Carter residence. While they were at the mansion gate, Liam noticed the dress his mother wore and


    asked,” Mommy, are you still going outter?” Sylvia smiled. “Liam, I promised to meet a friend, so I have


    to keep my promise. Hurry up and bring your sister inside.” Isabel could barely keep her sleepy eyes


    open while she rubbed her eyes. Liam pouted. “Okay.” He held Isabel’s hand and went inside. After


    watching her kids go inside, Sylvia drove towards Cloudy Heart Lake. Meanwhile, in the living room of


    the Carters’, Odell was having a cup of tea when Liam came in with Isabel. Liam announced, “Daddy,


    we’re home.” Odell had a nce behind them before he asked, “It’s just you two? Where’s Mommy?”


    “Mommy is meeting a friend,” Liam answered. Odell scowled. He bolted up and went out of the house


    while pulling his phone out of his pocket. Liam watched his father leave the house with slightly furrowed


    brows. Isabel yawned as she grumbled, “Bro, what’s wrong with the meanie?” “I don’t know.”


    Liam had no idea. He really wanted to ask why his father had purposely opened the backdoor this


    morning and allowed him and Isabel to go to their mother, and why he had tried his best to keep their


    mother at home for as long as possible.


    The boy had questions but was unable to meet them with answers.


    Odell strode out of the door as he dialed Cliff’s number.


    He said coldly, “Bring everyone you can and tell them to go straight to Cloudy Heart Lake!”


    The call ended, and his towering figure climbed into his sports car. As the engine roared to life, he


    stepped on the pedal and sprinted off onto the freeway.


    The scenery outside the window shed over ceaselessly. His dark and keen brows were tightly furrowed


    and his eyes were gleaming in a gloom. Sp.m. It was the curfew that he gave Sylvia to see the kids every


    day, and now, it was only a little past eight.


    Knowing Sylvia, she would want to spend every second with her kids, yet she had sent them home


    punctually today just so she could go out to meet Edmund. Has she fallen for Edmund? How dare she


    fall for another man?’

    Ring! His phone rang all of a sudden. He had a nce at the phone that he ced on the passenger


    seat. It was Tara. He slid his slender finger to the left side to decline the call. The ck sports car sped


    off into the night like the wind. Meanwhile, on another rather road, Sylvia was waiting for the traffic light to


    turn green. She had stood Edmund up several times now, and today, she had even dragged the meeting


    untilte at night.


    Feeling embarrassed, she sent Edmund a voice message. “Edmund, you guys go ahead and have


    something to eat first. I’m on my way and will take a little longer. Don’t wait for me.”


    Edmund replied almost instantly, “Don’t worry. We are not hungry yet. Be careful and don’t rush.”


    The traffic light turned green. Sylvia simply drove the car out of the street without answering Edmund.


    Little did she know, another ck sports car took a shortcut to Cloudy Heart Lake, beating her arrival


    time.
