GoodReadChapter 210 (Yeah. I‘m full already.” Odell wiped his hands and addressed Tara again, “I have
something I need to do later. You just get an early rest.”
Tara took his arm into hers and fixed him with a longing look, pressing her body into his almost
subconsciously. She whispered, “Odell, Liam and Isabel should have fallen asleep by this time. Why
don‘t you stay with me tonight?” Odell fell silent for a moment before forming an answer, “I need to
head back to the company to deal with something.” “Okay.” Tara let go of him reluctantly. Odell
caressed her head gently as if to provide comfort, then he got up and walked out. Tara did not think
much of the episode. He had always been very busy since the day she knew him, especially since
Sylvia birthed those two brats to add to his trouble. Even before Sylvia brought Isabel into the picture,
he seldom spent the night with her because he needed to go home to take care of the miserable brat,
Liam. It was partially because the brat
stayed with Madam Carter, forcing Odell to move back from his place to the Madam’s. He simply had
too many responsibilities in the company, so even if he spent the night at her place, he would end up
spending the night in the study. Furthermore, her miscarriage had made her body especially vulnerable

complications. Odell was extremely worried about something terrible happening to her and treated her
like fine china, resulting in him avoiding nearly all physical contact with her. The thought that she could
not get pregnant again greatly infuriated Tara. This was all the fault of that wretched Sylvia! She had to
throw herself off the stairs to force Odell‘s hand in divorcing Sylvia! Although the truth was that she
never planned to birth the child, to begin with, that fall had caused more complications to her health
than she bargained for!

A black sports car was darting across the highway. Within twenty minutes, the car had arrived and
stopped outside the door of the old residence. He peeked at the time. It was just past nine o‘clock, and
that woman probably was still around.
Just as he was about to step out of the car, he noticed a slender figure emerging from the door.
Odell turned his head in that direction.
The weather was rather cold, so Sylvia was rubbing her hands together despite wearing a thick jacket.
There was a thick layer of scarf wrapped around her feathered collar as well.
Under the gentle moonlight, her fair cheeks seemed whiter and more reflective than usual.
They seem to exude a fine light on their own.

Odell narrowed his eyes, then unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed the door open. Sylvia, who had just
walked out, heard the door open and immediately turned to the source of the sound. When she saw
Odell‘s tall figure, she became startled and immediately took off. She did not bound toward him but
went in the opposite direction instead. She vanished in the blink of an eye, like a rabbit escaping its
predator.
TITATISTICO
The way she ran, one would think he was going to eat her!
Isabel and Liam went back to kindergarten for two more days, and after that, winter break

Early that morning, Isabel had called Sylvia and requested her to take her and her brother to dinner
earlier than usual to celebrate the arrival of the winter break. Knowing that Odell was going to be out on
a business trip for the next few days, she gladly agreed. After picking out two small gifts for Isabel and
Liam during the afternoon, Sylvia went to their place. The car that usually took them to and fro school
was outside the entrance. They must have gotten home already.
The door was also open, and Sylvia walked in brashly. When she got past the threshold of t living
room, she called out, “Liam, Isabel, I‘m here. Are you guys here?”
Only the soft, cutting sound of wind answered her. Sylvia was puzzled and stepped further inside. She
saw Odell in the spacious living room. He wore a black tight–fitting shirt and was sitting by himself on
the sofa drinking tea.
There was not another soul in the living room apart from the housemaids serving him tea. Neither
Madam Carter nor the children were present. Sylvia stopped. Although she did not want to see him at
this moment, she questioned him all the same, “Odell, where are Liam and Isabel?” Odell took a sip of
his tea before giving an answer, “They‘re in the room.”
