Chapter 178 Soon, Odell heard Isabel‘s adorable voice welcoming her mother came from inside the
living room. He tightened his lips and glanced at the bodyguard at the gate. The bodyguard explained,
“Master, she was too fast just now. I didn‘t even realize.” He also did not expect Sylvia to break free from
Odell‘s grip and charge inside like a chariot. Odell had one last glare at him before he strode into the
living room. Inside the living room, Isabel and Liam clung to Sylvia tightly and were munching on the
snacks she brought. Even Madam Carter also enjoyed the pastries that Sylvia had prepared. When Odell
came in, the living room turned quiet. Isabel and Liam cautiously looked at him. Madam Carter said,

up to her instead of holding Sylvia responsible. Odell glanced at Sylvia before he sat down on the couch
and started reading. Madam Carter sighed a breath of relief. Isabel and Liam also lowered their caution
and continued enjoying their snacks. Sylvia raised a brow with a smile. As before, she played with the
kids for a little while, and when they finally got tired, she sent them back to their room, told them a
bedtime story, and accompanied them until they fell asleep. Only then did Sylvia leave their room and
return to the living room. The spacious living room was quiet and only had one warm light on. The warm
light shed its glow on the man‘s rigid figure as he read elegantly on the couch. He had a book in his hand

said, “Odell, this is between me and her. Can you stay out of this?”

Odell glared at her coldly. “She‘s my woman.” Sylvia got choked up for a bit. Again, she almost forgot

she wheeled herself out. She soon disappeared into the dark night. Odell furrowed his brows and
frustratedly tossed the book on the table. He did not choose to argue with her although she picked on

Tara. Even allowing her to see the kids was an act of mercy, a blessing and gift to her, and yet she did
not even try to please him and gave him the
cold shoulder.
‘She‘s really getting ahead of herself.‘
At Lake Victoria Villa, Tara sulked as she recalled how Sylvia had criticized her earlier at the art
exhibition, causing her to fail to sell any of her paintings.
It had been more than three hours since Odell left, and he was really angry when he walked out of the
door. She believed he would punish Sylvia for her. He should have finished meting out his punishment
