Isabel narrowed her eyes at him as if she caught a thief red-handed.
Liam was a lot calmer. He simply stared at his father with his big googly eyes. His puffy face was
almost expressionless except for the hint of grudge. “Daddy, have you been putting me away for the
past two nights?” Odell’s eyes shifted a little. “Mommy will feel uncomfortable if you sleep snugly
beside her.” “You’re also sleeping next to her.”
“I’m different.”
“How different?”
Looking expressionless, Odell explained, “I’m an adult. I’m taller and stronger than you. Mommy will

Liam pouted and furrowed his brows.
Isabel then said, “But Mommy said she’s comfortable sleeping with us.”
Odell remained expressionless and said, “She’s lying.”
Isabel pouted. She bawled, “No! I don’t believe you! Mommy won’t lie to us!” “She doesn’t want you to
be unhappy, that’s why she lied to you.”
The serious look on his face never changed for a bit as he fabricated his lies.
Isabel could not accept Sylvia lying to her, so she immediately raised her voice and cried, “No! I don’t
believe you. You’re a big baddie, big fat liar!”
Odell frowned and signaled her to lower her voice, but it was too late.
Before he could stop his daughter from causing a scene, Sylvia woke up. She woke up to find a sulky
and aggrieved Isabel, a disheartened Liam beside Isabel, and Odell beside herself.
Surprised, she asked, “What’s going on?” Isabel protruded her lips and asked, “Mommy, Baddie says
us sleeping with you will make you uncomfortable! Is it true?”
Sylvia answered without a second thought, “Of course, it isn’t true. I feel the most comfortable when I
hug you two babies to sleep.” “I told him the same thing but he said you lied because you didn’t want
us to be unhappy.” Sylvia immediately turned to Odell with a frown
Odell awkwardly touched his nose in silence and looked evasive.
Sylvia hugged Isabel into her arms and said to Odell, “Bring Liam here.” Odell single-handedly carried
Liam into Sylvia’s arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia hugged both of them in each arm and said in a small voice, “Daddy is lying. Mommy
feels comfortable when sleeping with you two.”
Liam’s big eyes gleamed. Isabel pouted at Odell and bawled, “Hmph! Big baddie, big fat liar!” Odell
pursed his lips. He was leaning against the wall with his arins crossed, looking handsome and elegant,
but they did not conceal the guilt on his face. It was the first time Sylvia saw him lose to the kids.
She had an urge to laugh at him but she managed to hold it back. She said, “Odell, don’t you lie to the
kids again.” Odell simply hummed begrudgingly. Both Isabel and Liam finally cheered up. Odell
returned to his side of the bed and Sylvia hugged the kids to sleep. After the kids fell asleep, Odell
suddenly got out of bed and headed to the balcony.
Sylvia wanted to sleep but the little drama that happened earlier robbed her of her sleepiness.
She snuck out of bed and headed outside as well.
Odell’s towering figure was standing by the rail as he stared into the distant sky, seemingly mulling over
something.
