Chapter 1341
Chapter 1341 It was Cliff.
Odeil brought the phone to his ear.
On the phone, Cliff said in a soft voice, “Master Carter, | just contacted a teacher from the Art Academy who has just returned
from Meadow Hills. He said that he went separate ways with Mrs. Carter and three female teachers in the hotel. He mentioned
that they wanted to go to several other ces, such as the prairie, an ancient city, and another ce he forgot the name of. He''s
not sure where they went today.”
Three female teachers?
Odell‘s expression rxed slightly. “Got it.” He hung up the phone, took another cigarette, and ced it between his lips.
A few dayster, the temperature in Westchester took a sharp dive. It snowed overnight, so the outside was nketed in white in
the morning.
It happened to be the weekend. The little ones were probably attracted by the snowy scenery and got up earlier than usual.
Isabel dragged Flint outside to step in the snow and throw snowballs. In a rare turn of events, Liam, who had never been a fan of
this kind of game, also rolled a snowball.
The atmosphere was very lively.
Odell stood by the door, the ice and snow reflected in his eyes. He looked very cold and slightly lonely.
Smack.
Suddenly, a snowball smashed into his thigh.
He looked over.
Flint instantly hid behind Isabel and peeked out, saying weakly, “I didn‘t mean it, Daddy.”
He meant to throw it at his sister, but it somehow ended up hitting his father.
Odell ignored him. He seemed to be in a bad mood these days, so the children were more afraid of him than usual.
He nced at them and said, “Another ten minutes before you have toe inside.”
Flint said, “Okay.”
Isabel pursed her lips.
Liam focused on building a little snowman without much emotion on his face.
In the evening, Sylvia, who had disappeared for several days, made a video call to the three little ones. The children huddled
together, happily chatting with her..
Odell happened toe out of the study and saw Liam holding a phone when he reached the stairs. Isabel was huddled beside
him, and Flint sat in his arms as they watched Sylvia on the phone screen.
The distance between them was too great for Odell to see her face on the screen, but he could hear her talking to the children.
Flint was asking, “Mommy, where are you now? Why is the sky there so blue?”
Sylvia grinned and replied, “I’m at a prairie now. Let me show you the scenery here.” With that, she panned the camera.
“Wow! It''s so pretty!” Flint shouted with wide eyes.
Isabel also let out an exmation.
Although Liam did not say anything, his eyes were also wide open.
After chatting about the scenery of the prairie for a while, Sylvia asked them, “Have you been good at home these days?”All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
Isabel said, “We’ve been good, Mommy.”
Flint chimed in, “Uh-huh, uh-huh.”
Sylviaughed and asked Liam, “What about you, Liam?”
Liam pursed his lips. “I''m good.”
She asked, “How‘s Great-grandma?”
Isabel replied, “She''s fine. She‘s the same as before, but she forgets things a lot of the time. She even mistook me for you this
morning.”
Sylvia smiled. “You look a lot like me when | was little, so it''s understandable for her to mistake you for me.”
“Mommy, | think Great-grandma misses you,” Flint suddenly spoke up.
The air instantly became silent.
Liam and Isabel both pursed their little mouths.
Sylvia was silent for a few seconds and asked them, “Is Daddy still very busy? Does he still rarelye home?” Isabel and Flint
shook their heads in unison.
Liam said, “No, he''s been very idletely andes home early every day. He‘s also home on the weekends.” Isabel added,
“And he''s very bad—tempered.”
Flint echoed, “Uh-huh, uh-huh. | think he’s angry because you aren''t at home and ignoring him, Mommy.” Odell, who was
listening to them, held his breath.
