Chapter 287 After a long time, he finally released her lips and allowed her to gasp for air. She hurriedly


    gasped. When she had finally regained her breath, she red at him. Odell caressed her face. “You


    don‘t need to find an excuse for yourself. I understand.”


    He grinned.


    His lips curled but Sylvia noticed the sense of eeriness behind it. His words were full of threat as well.


    She believed that if she continued to defy him, he would sumb to his desire and force himself upon


    her in the car.


    Sylvia was afraid of that. She gulped her grievance down and zipped her lips.


    To her surprise, he kissed her again.


    Unlike the previous one, or any other one, which usually felt forced, he was gentle this time and he did


    not try to suffocate her.


    The kiss started soft and slowly grew stronger.


    After a deep kiss, he released her lips once more and said with a smile, “I‘m sure Isabel and Liam are


    missing you like mad. I‘ll take you to them.”


    Sylvia‘s eyes went nk and her mouth went silent.


    He went back into the driver‘s seat and the back of Sylvia‘s seat bounced back up.


    The car turned around and headed to the Old District. Sylvia‘s brows remained furrowed throughout the


    journey back. Her eyes were glued to the window as she stared at the moving scenery nkly. When the


    car finally stopped in front of Carter‘s Residence, the bodyguards came over and opened their doors for


    them.


    The bodyguards were rather shocked to see Sylvia in the passenger‘s seat.


    Sylvia did not mind the unusual stare. She simply got out and headed inside.


    By the time Odell had gotten out of the car, Sylvia had already gone into the living room, as if she was


    afraid of being seen together by Madam Carter and the kids. Odell‘s face fell. He then told the


    bodyguards, “From now on, no matter what time shees to see the kids, don‘t stop her.” “Yes, sir.”


    “Mommy, what happenedst night? Brother and I kept calling you but we couldn‘t reach


    you.”


    Isabel and Liam hugged and kissed their mother upon seeing her arrival. Then, Isabel had asked the


    million dor question, to which Liam‘s eyes had widened in curiosity as he looked


    at his mother as well.


    Sylvia did not want to lie to them but she could not allow them to find out that she had slept with Odell.


    She tried to think of how to phrase her words carefully in order to fabricate an excuse. However, before


    she could say anything, Odell came in. He said, “She was with mest night.”


    Isabel and Liam looked at him nkly.


    The living room went silent for a moment.


    Even the butler who was chatting with Madam Carter looked at his master in shock. Sylvia widened her


    eyes in shock and red at the man.“Shut up, Odell. I was not!” Odell tightened his lips and approached


    her. ” Sylvia instinctively faltered, but Odell stopped in front of her. He then took a silver ne out of


    his pocket and ced it on the coffee table

    “You left this behindst night.”


    Sylvia, “...” The ne was hers and it had still been around her neck that morning. Odell must have


    taken it off when he had pressed himself against her in the car earlier. It was definitely not from the night


    before. However, his words silenced everyone in the living room. Isabel and Liam stared at her with wide


    eyes. Even Madam Carter and the butler had smirks on their faces. Sylvia was silent. She felt as if


    something had gotten stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying anything.
