?Chapter 633


    Almost everyone had been avoiding him these days. On the off chance that someone came to him, they merely wanted to gain something from him. Even Tara, who had once saved him and stood by his side, the girl who he always thought was the embodiment of kindness, only came to him to take away Lake Victoria Vi.


    It was this woman who had hurt him most who ended up bringing his children to him.


    Even if she refused to see him because she was with another man.


    He closed his eyes somberly, then tightened his embrace around Isabel who was still whimsically prattling on and on.


    In the parking lot outside.


    After seeing Isabel and Liam head into the building, Sylvia and Thomas got back into the car.


    Time slowly trickled by.


    Suddenly, several familiar figures stepped into the parking lot.


    They were led by Jacob the bodyguard at the head of the group.


    Sylvia frowned warily.


    Sensing her difort, Thomas asked, "What''s wrong?"? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "They''re Odell''s bodyguards," Sylvia stated.


    The look in Thomas'' eyes sharpened as he turned in the direction of Jacob and his crew.


    He thought for a moment and assured Sylvia. "Don''t worry, they can''t see us from outside the car."


    Sylvia grunted softly and muttered, "Maybe they''re not looking for me."


    She doubted that Odell would have the time to look for her when he could barely keep himself afloat.


    Besides, she was not important to him.


    Thomas nced at her and kept quiet.


    Shortly after, Jacob and his crew approached closer and stood only several meters away from the car.


    Sylvia held her breath.


    Shortly after, they stepped away from the car.


    They were not here for her.


    Meanwhile, Jacob and the rest headed toward the other end of the parking lot and peeked inside each car.


    One of the bodyguards following him stated, "Jacob, I don''t think this is going to work. What if the missus is hiding in a decoy car?"


    Jacob informed, "No, she''s with the second master. He''s known for being a germaphobe. Even if he''s not driving a luxury car, it''s going to be a clean and well-maintained car."


    There was a lot of mud on the exterior of the white car they saw just now. He was sure it was not Thomas'' car.


    Sylvia was surprised to see that Isabel and Liam still had note out even after the sun had set.


    She texted Sherry immediately.


    Sherry replied with a voice message.


    Sylvia yed the message only to have Sherry''s screams ring into her ears. "Sylvia, Odell is refusing to let Isabel and Liam go! When I went to get them, the bodyguards at the door wouldn''t even let me in! I''m so pissed off!"


    Sylvia frowned.


    How could he take them by force? With the way things were for him now, how could he still expect himself to take care of them?


    Was there something wrong with his head?


    She immediately answered, "Okay, don''t worry. I''ll go take a look."


    With that, she reached for the door handle, only to have another hand grab her wrist to stop her.


    She stared nkly at Thomas.


    Thomas looked at her stoically and dered, "I''m going to bring them back."


    Sylvia answered, "It''s alright, Thomas. He probably was just hoping to spend a bit more time with them. He''ll misread the situation if he sees you picking them up. I have to do it myself."


    As the way things were between the two of them now, it was still rather inappropriate for him to go in her ce to get her kids.


    Besides, Odell had bodyguards with him. It would be terrible if he brought harm upon Thomas if Thomas caught him in a bad mood.


    Thomas still held on to her wrist. "I''ll go with you."


    Sylvia frowned, feeling conflicted.


    Noticing her inner conflict, he suggested, "I''ll wait for you outside the door. I won''t go


    inside with you to see him."


    Sylvia was in a hurry and had no time to hesitate and continue squabbling around, so she agreed to this proposal. "Alright."
