The look on her face reminded him of their past.


    When he first met her during their younger days, she became his savior.


    After they knew each other better, she had always been kind and understanding. Even after he married


    Sylvia, she never threw a tantrum before him and had been enduring the torment in the dark alone just


    because she did not want to give him any trouble.


    If Sylvia was half as loyal as Tara or had even a sliver of her obedience, Madam Carter would not have


    ended up in aatose state.


    Odell frowned. He wiped the tears off her face and said softly, “Stop crying.”


    Tara threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. She continued to weep as she asked, ” Odell,


    how are youtely? You must be devastated now that Grandmother is bedridden.” Odell pursed his lips.


    “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.” “I’m sorry for not being able to help you.” “Just take care of


    yourself for me.”


    Odell tapped her back and wanted to remove her from his chest but Tara chose to cling on tightly


    He felt sorry for her, so he allowed her to continue the hug and he even patted her back. Tara finally


    released him after a while.

    looked at him and said, “O


    ell, I want to visit Grandmother. Is it


    Her tea okay?”


    “Sure. I’ll bring you over there tomorrow morning.”


    “Thank you.”


    “Have some rest.”


    Odell got up and wanted to leave. Tara bolted up as well and said, “Odell, I’ll see you out.”


    Odell did not reject her. He simply let her follow him to the entrance.


    He got into the car and drove away from the vi.


    Tara could no longer suppress her joy and her lips curled into a wide grin.


    After a peaceful night at Carter residence, Violet punctually arrived and took the shift over from Sylvia


    Like before, Sylvia simply had a few bites of breakfast and went to sleep on the couch in the living room


    The sunlight came in through the ceiling-to-floor window and shed its light on her sleeping figure.


    She was fast asleep. She could neither feel the wind blowing in from the door nor notice the arrival of


    Odell and Tara.


    Odell frowned when he saw Sylvia curled up on the couch. Tara was also surprised to see Sylvia


    sleeping in the living room. She gasped in shock and said, “Why is Sylvia sleeping here?” Odell did not


    answer. He went straight over to the couch and kicked Sylvia on the bum.


    He had to kick her a few times topletely wake her up.


    The first thing Sylvia saw when she opened her blurry eyes was Odell’s gloomy face. She instinctively


    clung to the sheets and sat herself up. Odell red at her and said, “Get up.”


    Sylvia took a deep breath and got up.


    Then, she saw Tara behind her dressed up decently in a slim-fitted white dress thatplemented her


    long ck hair.


    Tara smiled at Sylvia and said, “Good morning, Sylvia.”


    Sylvia felt suffocated by Tara’s presence. She gave Tara the cold shoulder and wanted to go upstairs.


    “Hold on,” the man bellowed.


    Sylvia looked at him with furrowed brows. “What?”


    He wore a frosty look at her. “Tara said good morning, didn’t you hear her?” “I heard.” “If you heard her,


    reply.”


    Sylvia clenched her teeth and turned to Tara. Tara maintained her polite smile. Sylvia could tell behind


    that fake smile that Tara was delighted to see her like this. She gulped her grievance and simply


    hummed a reply at Tara.


    Tara’s expression turned grim.
