    Chapter 571


    “Who are you talking to?” All of a sudden, the man’s gruff voice came from above her.


    Startled, Sylvia vented her annoyance at him. “It’s none of your business.”


    The moment the words escaped her mouth, she realized she was not speaking in the right tone. She immediately looked at


    Isabel and saw the girl snoozing on the couch. Sylvia had a nce at the boy beside her.


    The boy was not asleep but he was carried away by the book, seemingly uninterested in his parents’ conversation.


    She sighed a breath of relief.


    Without further concealing her feelings, she red at Odell.


    Odell was looking at her with a bewitching grin.


    Sylvia wished she could scold him out loud but she had to hold back urge and chose to whisper her reminder instead, “It’s


    gettingte. You should go back and rest.”


    “Good night.”


    The man then strode out of the house without pause.


    Sylva stared at his figure as he left her sight. Her brows strangely furrowed.


    At the end of the day, Odell only came by at night and apanied Isabel. Other than the one question that he asked, he had


    no other interaction with Sylvia.


    She started to believe he moved next door to be with the kids, so the suspicion soon escaped her.


    Regardless of the reasons, she never wanted anything to do with him anymore. She raised her hand and patted Liam''s head,


    and said softly, “Liam, it’s gettingte. Time for bed.” “Okay.” Liam obediently closed the book and put it aside. Sylvia smiled and


    then carried the sleeping Isabel into her arms. She then walked Liam back to their room.


    After Liam fell asleep, Sylvia returned to her own room.


    In the next few days, Sylvia basically spent most of her time at home apanying the kids. The two little ones would either


    y at home or run next door to visit Madam Carter.


    At night, Odell woulde over for dinner punctually and stayed for a while until Isabel fell asleep Sylvia and Odell were like


    strangers sharing the same roof. They sat in the living room


    together but there was little to no interaction between them.


    Soon, New Year''s eve arrived.


    Both Aunt Tonya and Sebastian decorated the ce early in the morning. Sylvia also put on new clothes for Isabel and Liam to


    celebrate the New Year’s arrival. She even tied the little girl’s hair into two tiny buns. Liarn continued to read quietly. Although


    dressed in brand new clothes, it did not diminish his cool presence.


    Isabel was like a puppy out of the cage, running around and jumping up and down cheerfully. With Ben and Jacob watching her,


    Sylvia was not worried about the girl getting hurt, so she went on to help Aunt Tonya with the decoration. She soon arrived in the


    living room with the celebratory decorations.


    dder was needed to hang the decorations over the door and window.


    Sylvia went up thedder instead of asking Aunt Tonya. Aunt Tonya passed her the decorations and reminded her to be careful,


    “Be careful up there.”


    “Okay.” Sylvia nodded and stood higher on thedder to stick the decoration over the door. When she was about to get down,


    her foot suddenly slipped. She screamed out of shock and started falling backward. Just when Sylvia expected a terrible fall and


    Aunt Tonya screaming in horror, a pair of strong arms came in and caught her.


    The expected pain did not arrive, which was a relief. She then turned to the man who caught her.


    The man wore a ck overcoat over his handsome suit. His towering figure made it easy for him to catch her and he was looking


    at her with his handsome looks.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Sylvia turned around andnded on her feet before she left his embrace.


    Odell narrowed his eyes. “Tell Ben or Jacob to do the dangerous things. Don’t put yourself in harm’s way anymore.”
