Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 184 Isabel filmed her last scenes for the movie that evening. As soon as she was done, Sylvia quickly brought her and Liam into the car.

The weather report predicted that it would snow soon, and that meant Sylvia could not take her time to go back to the Carters‘ residence. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The car began its steady return journey.

Sylvia sat in the back, in between Isabel and Liam. The two children had fallen asleep against her sides.

Around the time the car drove into the Old District, snow began falling from the sky. Soon, the car pulled to a stop outside the Carters‘ residence. “Isabel, Liam, we‘re home,” Sylvia called softly Liam furrowed his eyebrows whereas Isabel snuggled closer to her mother. It was obvious that the children did not want to get out of the car. With a smile on her face, Sylvia placated, “Be good now. It‘s already snowing outside, so you should both go in and have dinner.” At this, Liam sat upright to stare out the car window. Isabel grew excited at the mention of snowfall. She tugged at Sylvia and said, “Mommy, have dinner with us. Then, we?ll build snowmen after, okay?!! Sylvia wished she could say yes. However, Odell was back from his business trip, so entering the house now would only anger him. Besides, she had been by their side during the day. She caressed Isabel‘s face and lightly said, “I can‘t do that, my dear. I have to eat dinner with Aunt Tonya.” Isabel pouted and grumbled, “Okay then.” Liam pursed his lips in defeat as well. Sylvia hugged her children one last time before letting them disembark the car. She did not get out of the vehicle and watched her children walk into the house while holding hands instead. Then, she turned to Tom. “Tom, let‘s go.” Tom immediately turned the car around.

At the same time, in the warm living room, as soon as Isabel and Liam entered the room, she called out, “Great–grandma, Liam and I are home!”

Madam Carter instantly replied, “Oh, my darlings, come here!” Isabel pulled Liam along as she dashed further into the house. However, as soon as they spotted Odell on the sofa, they immediately stopped running.

Odell‘s eyebrows furrowed, dissatisfaction clear on his face. Isabel made a sound of displeasure before she pulled Liam to sit on the other side of Madam Carter. Odell turned to look out the window solemnly. Besides the falling snow, nothing else could be seen outside in the courtyard. He thought, ‘I thought that woman would take any chance she can get to spend time with the kids. Why didn‘t she follow them into the house then?‘

At this moment, Madam Carter asked the pair of children, “Isabel, Liam, where is your mother? It‘s snowing outside, but she didn‘t follow you both in?”

Odell squinted. Isabel answered, “Mommy went home. She said she needed to eat dinner with Aunt Tonya.” Madam Carter heaved a sigh. Sylvia had obviously not followed them into the house because she was scared of Odell. To the side, Odell‘s gaze darkened. A moment later, he stood up and said, “I‘ll be going upstairs to handle a few things. You can start dinner without me.” Without waiting for Madam Carter to respond, he walked toward the stairs. Soon, he entered his room and made a beeline for the balcony. The binoculars Isabel and Liam were using were still on the table. He took one of them and turned to look in the direction of Sylvia‘s home.

At the same time, Sylvia‘s car had just arrived at the door. Once she got out of the car, she headed toward the living room.
