“It’s Aunt Tonya...” Tara observed the reaction on his face and continued, “But I believe she doesn’t mean it. I


    didn’t know Isabel and Liam were in the living room, and I exined that I was there to see them. It slipped my


    mind and I identally mentioned Sylvia’s death, so the kids heard it, then she pped me.”


    Odell frowned. “Go home first.”


    He was worried about the kids and had no time tofort Tara.


    Tara immediately said, “Okay. Go check on Isabel and Liam. They need you right now.”


    While Odell hummed a reply and went into the house, Tara sighed a breath of relief and wore a grin. Now that


    the two little monsters knew their mother was gone, they would stop asking for her.


    All Tara needed to do was visit frequently and show them care and love. They might then start to ept her


    and rely on her as a mother figure.


    Until then, she could be with Odell again without any more hindrance.


    Odell strode into the living room.


    Isabel was still crying loudly while Liam was hugging her. Both Sebastian and Aunt Tonya were


    helpless when it came toforting the girl.


    The two of them stepped aside when Odell came in. He then carried the two of them back to their


    room.


    Isabel was crying her lungs out and did not even care about who carried her. She buried her face in


    Odell’s neck, and her tears and snot wet his cor.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Liam was rtively calm. He turned to his father and asked, “ Daddy, is Mommy really dead?”


    He widened his big eyes in silence and observed his father’s reaction.


    Odell was taken aback by how calm Liam was.


    However, the boy was quiet and never expressed his emotions easily.


    With that aside, Odell decided to be frank with the two of them. “ Mommy fell into theke and we still


    can’t find her now.”


    Liam thought for a moment and asked, “Then, is there a chance that mommy is still alive?”


    Odell went silent for a moment before he hummed a reply. It was possible that she was still alive, but


    the odds were slim.


    Liam then turned to Isabel and said, “Sis, Daddy still hasn’t found mommy. Mommy might be alive.”


    Isabel paused her crying and looked at her brother with reddish eyes. “Really?”


    “Really. Mommy wille back soon.”


    “What if Mommy neveres back?”


    Liam wiped her tears and snot away and said, “Then, we’ll continue to wait.”


    The determination in his eyes calmed Isabel down. She sniffled and said, “Yeah, we’ll wait for Mommy toe


    back! ”


    Odell pursed his lips at Isabel’s brightened mood and the strange hope that they grasped onto. For the first


    time in months, he finally wore a smile on his frosty face.


    Later, Isabel and Liam finally went to sleep. Odell sighed a breath of relief and left the room.


    The room returned to silence, but the little girl’s tears continued to trickle down her cheeks.


    Fortunately, Liam was there to hug her to sleep.


    A whileter, he noticed a moving figure outside the door, so he quietly had a nce at the doorway.


    Outside the door, Violet leaned against the wall and took pictures of inside the room with her phone.
