Chapter 183 As soon as Sylvia got home, she immediately headed toward the kitchen to prepare snacks for her children so that they could eat at the filming location.
At the same time, a black sports car pulled to a stop in front of the Carters‘ residence.
A man got out of the car, his tall and slender form moving quickly into the house. Soon, he arrived in the living room. A maid quickly came forward to take his coat and the box he was carrying. Odell walked further into the house.
On the sofa were Isabel and Liam, who were tucked into Madam Carter‘s sides.
Liam was messing around with a Rubik‘s cube.

At the same time, Isabel was munching away at a large packet of potato chips while she and Madam Car ter watched TV. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Upon seeing Odell’s arrival, Isabel pouted at him instinctively.

On the other hand, Liam was so engrossed in playing with his Rubik‘s cube that he did not even bother to lift his head.

Madam Carter smiled at Odell in greeting. “Welcome back, Odell. Have you eaten your dinner?” Odell replied, “I ate before coming home.” He settled into an empty spot on the sofa before directing his gaze at Isabel and Liam. Isabel ma de a face at Odell before squeezing herself further into Madam Carter‘s arms.
Madam Carter chuckled at the sight of this before turning slightly to speak to Liam, “Liam, your father‘s b ack from his business trip.” Liam furrowed his eyebrows before looking up to call to Odell, “Hi, Daddy.” With that said, his attention returned to the Rubik‘s cube once more.
Madam Carter heaved a heavy sigh but said nothing else to the children. Instead, she asked Odell, “Well, did your business trip go well? “.
“Yes, I would say so.” As he spoke, he lifted his hand to check the time on his watch.
It was currently ten minutes past eight. Why was that woman not keeping her own children company? A th ought occurred to him, prompting him to ask, “Grandmother, did Isabel begin her shoot already?” Madam Carter replied, “She‘s been going out for filming for a few days now. They leave early in the morning and return home in the evening.” Odell pursed his lips in response.
The following morning, Sylvia arrived at the Carters‘ residence with containers of snacks for her children. After putting on a thick down jacket, she got out of the car and walked toward the front door. Then, she called into the house, “Isabel,
Liam, we’ve got to go now.” “Mommy!” In an instant, the pair of children dashed toward her like rabbits. Sylvia took both t heir hands in her own. Just as she was about to bid Madam Carter goodbye, she lifted her gaze to instead meet a pair of dark eyes. Odell, who was dressed in a gray sweater and trousers, sat leisurely on the sofa with his arms crossed in front of him. His cold gaze was currently fixated on her. Sylvia‘s eyes fluttered. She thought that Odell was furious at her presence because it was not her usual eight–to–nine slot at night.
She gave up on the plan to speak to Madam Carter and turned around to walk out with her children instead.

Back in the living room, Odell wrinkled his brows at her behavior, his face going completely frigid.
How dare Sylvia walk away from him without saying anything?!

He quickly pushed himself off the sofa in anger, only for his phone to start ringing. It was Tara calling Odell‘s gaze shifted before he sat back down and answered the “Odell, have you returned from your business trip?”
He looked out of the window. “Yes.”
“Are you available today? I‘ll be heading to Glanchester City soon for a still– life painting event, so I want to see you before I leave.”
Outside the gate, Sylvia and the two children were just about to enter the car. Sylvia‘s legs seemed to be fine as she could walk with no problem.
Odell‘s eyes softened as he replied, “It‘s getting cold. Don‘t come looking for me. I‘ll go to you instead.” Tara replied happily, “Great, I‘ll be waiting.”
