Chapter 568


    Sylvia red at him with a flush. Odell grinned. “This is the punishment for letting him touch your nose.” Sylvia widened her eyes


    at him.


    Odell then released her hands and waist with a mischievous smile.


    Sylvia bolted up and took a few steps back from him. Her eyes remained ring at him as she said, “Odell, | can agree to


    whatever request youe up with today but please follow the terms we agreed on the divorce papers. Don’t break your


    promise.” Odell got up. Seemingly in a good mood, he shot an amused gaze at her and said, “As long as you listen to me, I''ll


    keep my promise.”


    The man strode toward the exit. Sylvia cursed the man in her heart until hepletely left her sight.


    She took a deep breath to calm down and then went upstairs to Isabel and Liam’s room. The two little ones stared at her with


    their puffy faces. Isabel curiously asked, “Mommy, why are you up already? You finished talking to the baddie?” Based on all the


    TV that she had been watching, the girl truly believed adults must kiss for a long time before separating. She thought she would


    have to sleep early with her brother tonight as her mother would be busy kissing her father. “Yeah, we''re done.” Sylvia went over


    and sat down beside the girl. Isabel had a nce at the door. “Where''s the baddie?” “He left. He has work to do.” “Okie dokey,”


    Isabel murmured with protruded lips. Sylvia stroked her head and then looked at Liam.


    Liam was sitting beside her ying with his little toy. He looked quiet as if he did not hear their conversation at all.


    Liam was a lot more mature than his sister. He barely asked questions or asked to be pampered, so Sylvia barely had to cheer


    him up or exin herself out of guilt. She felt relieved to have such an understanding boy. She apanied them until they fell


    asleep before she returned to her own room. Right before she went into the bathroom for a shower, her phone rang. It was from


    Thomas.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Did | scare you today?”


    Sylvia was hesitant when she saw the message


    “What? What are you talking about?” Sylvia decided to y dumb. If she acknowledged what he said, it would mean she


    acknowledged his feelings for her. She could never develop a rtionship with Thomas. She had no intentions to hurt him. He


    saved her and helped her multiple times. He was not only a savior to her but also a close friend, like Sherry. After much careful


    consideration, she decided to try her best to maintain the fragileyer of ambiguity. Two minutester, Thomas replied, “Nothing.”


    The chat ended without a result. Sylvia sighed a breath of relief. “Thomas, good night.” “Good night.” Sylvia put her phone down


    and took a shower. Meanwhile outside her house, there was a tall figure standing under the tree diagonally opposite the street.


    The streetmp failed to shine through the leaves, hence leaving the man’s cold expression in the dark He stared at Sylvia''s


    window with a deep and frosty gaze.


    A quiet night went by. On the second morning, Sylvia woke up without the rm and she heard giggles outside the door.


    It was Isabel. Sylvia curiously walked to the window, opened it and saw Sebastian, the butler of Carter residence, outside the


    yard. Other than Sebastian, Ben, Jacob, and several other bodyguards were also there ying with Isabel.


    The girl was having a great time judging from her ceaseless giggles. Liam was there but he did not join her. He watched from the


    side quietly with a delighted expression.


    Sylvia was surprised by the visit.
