Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 288 After putting the necklace down, Odell went upstairs.

The living room went silent again for a while. “Mommy, what did you do with Baddie last night?” Isabel asked in her adorable voice as she raised her chubby little face.

Her large eyes were round and bright with curiosity.

Just like her, Liam looked up at his mother with big innocent eyes.

Sylvia blushed. In a stilted voice, all she could say was, “We didn‘t do anything. It‘s just that something unexpected happened last night.”

“Oh...” Isabel pursed her tiny lips.

Just as Sylvia was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Liam asked, “Mommy, did you and Daddy run into some kind of problem?”

Sylvia nervously fabricated an excuse in her mind and said, “Mommy attended a dinner last night and ran into him. Then, one of my friends got drunk, so we sent my friend to the hospital.”

Isabel pouted. “No wonder you didn‘t come over to play with us.”

Liam did not ask any more questions either.

Sylvia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Madam Carter and the butler continued to smirk at her.

Sylvia said, “Grandmother, I–I‘ll take them to their room.”

The smirk on Madam Carter‘s face widened. “Of course, go ahead.”

The look she was giving her was that she knew Sylvia was embarrassed but that she wouldn‘t embarrass her. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Sylvia hurriedly took the two little kids back to their room.

After some play time with the kids, Sylvia waited until they obediently went to bed before coming out of their room.

To her surprise, Madam Carter, who would usually be resting at this hour, was still awake.

As Sylvia headed down to the living room, Madam Carter waved her over as she said, “Come over here, Syl.”

Sylvia had a bad feeling but she went over nonetheless.

Madam Carter then asked, “Tell me, did something happen between you and Odell last night?” Sylvia hastily explained, “Grandmother, we really just sent one of my friends to the hospital.” “Don‘t use that excuse on me. You can fool Isabel and Liam but not me.” Madam Carter saw through her thoughts with a glance. She continued, “How could it be so coincidental that you would bump into Odell at the restaurant? Even if you and him sent someone to the hospital,

then how did your necklace end up in his hands?”

Sylvia was rendered speechless. Madam Carter lowered her voice and continued, “The person who was drunk last night was vou, right? Did you have one glass too many so Odell took you away? Where did you guys spend the night?”

Her experienced and aged eyes were piercing and even gleaming with life.

She was obviously very interested and excited to know more about what had happened between Sylvia and Odell.

Sylvia could not help but blush. She knew no amount of excuses or lies would work on Madam Carter. She decided to be honest with the old lady and said with resignation, “Grandmother, it was really just an accident.” Madam Carter‘s grin widened until she was beaming from ear to ear. “This is great!” “I will tell Odell to break up with Tara. You should hurry and gather up your documents so that you can marry again!” Madam Carter got up, intending on going to find odell.

Sylvia held her back and said, “Grandmother, wait a minute! Please calm down.” “You guys got together again! How can I remain calm now? Don‘t worry, I will make sure he gives you a satisfying answer tonight.” “It‘s okay. You really don‘t have to.” “Syl, I know you are worried that Odell has misunderstood you, but I can tell that the look in his eyes is different now. The way he looks at you is different. I‘m positive that he has feelings for you. I will talk to him later, I won‘t make it look obvious or let him think that you were the one who urged me to do it.” Madam Carter patted Sylvia‘s hand to reassure her. She looked determined to talk to Odell about the marriage. Sylvia said, “Grandmother, it‘s not that. I just don‘t want to marry him again.”
