Chapter 736


    Odell frowned sternly. “What did you say?” Sylvia quickly changed her tone. “Nothing. | was just wondering if you were thirsty.”


    He scoffed. “No.”


    She answered briskly, “Okay.”


    He red at her. She was perplexed by this behavior and blurted out,“ Odell, don’t re at me like that. It’s not like I''m begging


    you to let me see the children.”


    “| wouldn''t care even if you begged.” “I know.”


    He red at her again.


    She stopped talking and let him stare at her as much as he wanted.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    After a while, he crossed his hands in front of his chest and studied her expression. He observed how she looked like she had


    suffered some great injustice and smirked coyly. “So why did youe back? Thomas doesn’t want you anymore?”


    She frowned and kept quiet.


    She wore a very hostile look and was visibly not interested in engaging in this discussion.


    He chuckled. “Weren''t you very insistent on going with him back then? Why? Did he get bored of you in just half a


    year??


    She remained silent.


    Heughed again. “I thought he was deeply in love with you or something like that. Turns out it’s just a half-year fling.”


    She frowned with great irritation. “Could you stop talking about him?”


    Heh. He mused. “So, he did dump you.”


    Sylvia: “...”


    “So, what do you n to do with that?” he said as he gestured toward her stomach with a pointed look.


    Upon mention of the child, the look in her eyes softened slightly. She stated, “I n to keep the baby.”


    Odell’s expression suddenly stiffened when he saw the way her face glowed with tenderness upon mention of the child.


    The temperature in the living room seemed to plummet to a freezing point instantly.


    Sylvia made a look and shrugged. “Don’t worry. You


    won''t have to deal with this. It’s not going to affect your future life with Miss Springsteen either.” “Of course | won’t have to deal


    with that. It''s not even mine anyway.” He hissed with contempt.


    She bit her lips and asked after a few seconds of hesitation, “How’s Isabel and Liam been doing thesest


    six months?”


    He peered at her. “What do you think?” She stated cautiously, “They''re your children, surely you''ve been taking good care of


    them?”


    “You''re telling me.”


    She got annoyed and blurted out, “Could you stop acting like this?”


    Odell’s face darkened.


    She promptly rified herself, “I didn’t mean to scold you. | just wanted to have a proper talk with you.”


    A proper talk?


    Odell raised one of his legs and rested it on top of his other leg. Then he leaned into the couch with a squint filled with scrutiny.


    “You stabbed me in the back for that man half a year ago. You''d rather go with him than be with your children and just like that,


    poof, you disappear for half a year. You didn’t even bother to call your children to check on them this entire time. | feel like I’m

    being extremely generous even being willing to talk to you now.”


    Sylvia pursed her lips and muttered meekly, “I’m sorry.” She lowered her head and hid her face from him, afraid of confronting his


    gaze. Like a frail, helpless little maiden who had her heart broken by a monstrous man, but too afraid and much too guilty to turn


    back to where she came from.


    Where was the same vicious, cruel-hearted girl who wounded him and insisted on going with Thomas half a year ago? She


    deserved it!


    A torrent of anger nearly erupted near the top of Odell’s head. He resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks and stated with an icy


    re, “You should say that to Isabel and Liam.”


    Sylvia suddenly turned up to look at him, her eyes reddened and wet with tears. “I will. Would you please let me meet them?”


    Odell felt something caught in his throat.


    After a brief moment, he gave his answer, “No. Don’t even think about it.”


    Sylvia was speechless.


    She lowered her head again and kept quiet. She sped


    her hands in front of her and kept rubbing them back and forth as if she was trying to hide her agitation. Odell suddenly became


    very irritated upon seeing this. “Stop rubbing your hands,” he said with a long sigh. She immediately did as she was told and


    stopped. The look in his eyes softened. He swiftly looked around them and observed the piled-up dust everywhere , then he


    asked, “Why did youe back alone? Where''s Aunt Tonya?”


    She frowned and answered, “Aunt Tonya isn’t doing well and is focusing on recovering. She needs some time beforeing


    back.”


    “Are you not nning to go back after this?” he asked with a sidelong nce.
