Chapter 750


    Odell frowned with irritation. “Why are you turning away?”


    Was this her way of expressing her sorrow and emptiness? A show of her somber state?


    “Does this make you feel better?” Sylvia asked.


    Odell was puzzled by this.


    “Next time, let me know in advance before youe here. That way, | can get something like a shawl to cover my face so you


    won''t have to look at my face again.” After a pause, she asked again, “Does this make you feel better?”


    Odell was speechless.


    Did she think that her face was the reason for him being upset?


    A burst of vexation rushed up to his head. He walked up to her in just a fewrge strides. Then, he sped hisrge palms


    around her chin and made her turn to face him. !!


    Hisser eyes seemed like they were going to bore holes into her. “Is something wrong with your head?” Sylvia narrowed her


    eyes and answered, “Not that | know


    of.”


    He red at her.


    She immediately changed her tone. “If you think there’s something wrong, then it’s probably correct.” Odell pursed his lips. He


    felt what seemed like a lump in his throat. After that, he put one arm around her waist and carried her off the couch.


    Sylvia almost shrieked by the suddenness of his action but did not dare to struggle. She grabbed at his cor and asked sharply,


    “Where are you taking me?”


    “To a mental hospital,” he said with a vicious look, “Let’s have them dissect your brain to see what''s wrong with


    you!”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    The look in Sylvia’s eyes became alert, she clenched his cor tightly. Just as Odell was about to carry her past the door, she


    asked out of nowhere, “Do you still have a thing for me?”


    Odell stopped abruptly and stared darkly at her.


    “You''re just trying to get a feel of me, aren’t you?” she asked again, this time with her reddened eyes cast off to another direction.


    Odell’s face darkened and hemanded sharply, “Say that while looking at me.”


    Sylvia gritted her teeth and confronted his gaze. She built up the courage to say to him, “You’re engaged to Miss Springsteen .


    You''re someone’s fiancé now and it’s not appropriate for you to carry me like this. It would be a bad look on you if someone sees


    us like this, so you''d better put me down right now.” He crooked one of his eyebrows. “And what if | don’t?”


    Sylvia chirped softly. “People will talk.” Odell fell quiet.


    The yard was as quiet as a cemetery. It was a cold night but there was no wind.


    He stared quietly at her.


    She avoided his gaze, a cautious look hung over her face.


    After a while, she suddenly winced, and her entire expression became contorted in pain.


    Odell became alert. “What''s wrong?” Sylvia gestured at her belly and whispered, “The baby is kicking me again.” It was a strong


    kick.


    Odell frowned and looked at her bulging belly.


    Perhaps the brat inside heard and understood the conversation between the two of them. He seemed to be able to feel the


    baby’s movements. It was as if the baby


    was kicking Sylvia’s stomach to protest and defend Sylvia.


    The look in his eyes cooled down and he promptly let go of her.


    He announced in a sharp voice, “I don’t feel anything toward you now. Stop being so full of yourself or else I''ll send you back to


    Galston.”


    With that, he stepped past her and walked outside.


    Sylvia stood fixed to the same spot with her hands on her stomach.


    She gently stroked the rowdy child through her belly and made a long sigh.


    If he imed to not feel anything toward her, then so be it. Besides, he had a fiancée, so it was only to be expected.


    She said that on purpose to rile him up so he would put her down.


    After a while, the baby seemed to settle down atst. She murmured, “It’s okay, all Mommy wants is to have you, your brother,


    and your sister.”


    Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Sylvia had been spending her days and nights listening to Isabel and Liam through


    the wall.


    Odell never showed up again, but she still ritually texted


    Chapter 750


    him every day to greet him even if he never replied even once.


    It was Thursday.


    Just like the past few days, when the two little ones came back from school in the evening, Sylvia quickly went to her usual spot


    and tried to listen in for anything particrly interesting.


    Since it was a colder night than usual, Isabel and Liam only hung around the yard for a short while before


    entering the house.


    Since there was nothing to be heard over her side of the wall, Sylvia retreated into her house as well.
