GoodReadChapter 204 Odell raised his eyebrows and looked at her with an air of arrogance. “You should be
honored that I‘m giving you the time of day to see your painting.”
Sylvia had to hold back her urge to roll her eyes at this remark. “I‘ll let Tara have this honor.”
After saying that, she put the canvas and the paintbrush into the tent.
Odell was in a particular decent mood. Perhaps it was due to the fine weather and also because he
managed to steal several looks at Sylvia amid her painting process just now.
He sat on the chair Sylvia had just sat in and made himself comfortable.

Sylvia came out of the tent to see him sitting on the only stool she brought while drinking the hot tea
that she made. On top of that, he casually opened a box of snacks and began eating. He looked like he
was having a great time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia said crossly, “Odell, you‘re sitting in my chair.” Odell took a sip of tea and glanced at her. “Your
point being?”
Sylvia became vexed and choked up. If it not for Isabel and Liam, she would make him pay for the
snack he had just eaten!
Odell noticed her face bulging with anger although she was unable to utter a word in protest. He smirked coyly and remarked to her, “This tea tastes pretty plain. Get better tea leaves next time.”
Sylvia glared at him speechlessly, then walked towards Liam and Isabel. Isabel was dozing off while
Liam was still holding the spools of two kites. He stared at the kites in the sky quietly, his thoughts
drifting off just like the kites. Sylvia gently patted their heads and urged them softly, “Isabel, Liam, let‘s
go get something to eat.”
Isabel rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered something in response.
Liam started reeling the kites in.
Sylvia helped him stash the two kites and led them back to the tent.
The children were shocked by the sight of Odell. Liam frowned suspiciously at him and sat in the tent
while Isabel grunted heavily at Odell before entering the tent.
Sylvia chuckled at their response to seeing Odell. Then, she called Ben and Jacob over to invite them
to eat something as well. After that, she went into the tent to eat with the children.
Having filled her belly with food and drink, Isabel fell asleep. Liam was also getting sleepy and fell
asleep with his sister in his arms. Sylvia covered them with a blanket and found herself getting sleepy
as well after watching
over them for a bit. She lay sideways beside them and closed her eyes. Outside the tent, with the
company of Ben and Jacob, Odell drank a pot of hot tea and finished a packet of snacks.
Ben and Jacob had a considerable appetite as well. In the time that Odell finished the packet, they
drank two bottles of water and devoured five packets of snacks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe total tally came to six packets of snacks.
Odell glanced at them with a frown. Ben and Jacob were frightened by his stare. They drew backward,
not knowing what they had done to wrong him. Odell took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands,
then looked towards the tent behind him. This woman had been in there for a long time, why had she
not come out yet? Why was she not serving him and bringing him something to eat?
He looked displeased with this. After not hearing any movement inside the tent for a while, he
immediately got up and drew open the tent. He saw the trio of mother and children sleeping cozily
inside. Liam was hugging Isabel with Sylvia lying on her side, facing them with one arm over both of
them. They were all sleeping soundly. Odell‘s expression darkened immediately. She took the children
with her to sleep while he was sitting outside?! As a rush of anger overtook him, he bent over and
entered the tent. He squatted next to Sylvia who was sound asleep. In her drowsy state, she felt
something touching her cheeks and soon felt something pinching her. She turned in her sleep and
shrugged whatever it was off. However, the strange object touched her on the other cheek immediately
after she turned to the other side. She immediately raised a hand and slapped it away. “Smack!” The
slap could be heard from miles away.
