GoodReadChapter 356
Right after the two little rascals came out of the shower, they saw their mother waiting for them.
“Mommy, why are you here?” Isabel ran over to her with her tiny legs; Liam followed. Sylvia said,
“Daddy has to work late today, so let’s sleep in your room tonight. I’ll be here as
well.”
Isabel nodded obediently and hummed a reply while Liam did not say anything. As long as they could
sleep with their mommy, the location did not matter.
Sylvia sighed a breath of relief at their calm reaction. Then, she got into bed with the two of them, and
while she was sandwiched in between, she read them a bedtime story.
The two little rascals fell asleep after a while.
It was then that the door opened and Odell came in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at the two little rascals fast asleep on their bed, his eyes showed a hint of delight and then he
looked at Sylvia. His gaze was practically telling her to go back to their room since the kids were
asleep.
Sylvia had a glance at the two sleeping angels with their tiny hands on her. She turned to Odell and
said in a small voice, “Odell, why don’t you go have a rest? I’ll stay here with them tonight.”
Unlike Isabel, Liam was a cautious person and was always alert to his surroundings. He might wake up
the moment she tried to get up.
Besides, Sylvia could not just leave them all of a sudden. She should guide them properly and slowly
and teach them to be independent on their own.
Odell’s expression turned grim. “Come down.”
Sylvia did not budge, so he strode over and wanted to pick her off the bed.
However, before he could even touch Sylvia, Liam opened his eyes. He clung to Sylvia’s sleeve and
shot a begrudging gaze at Odell.
Odell frowned at the little boy’s fierce reaction.
The father and son confronted each other for almost a minute, and neither of them wanted to step
down.
Sylvia had to intervene by saying, “Odell, just go take a rest first.”
Odell had a glance at her and decided to release her. “You have three more days. You know what you
have to do.”
Leaving his final warning behind, he had once last glare at Liam before leaving.
Sylvia hugged the little boy in her arms and said, “Go to sleep, Liam. Mommy’s not leaving.”
Liam protruded his lips in silence and hugged her tightly. A while later, after he finally fell
asleep, Sylvia also shut her eyes.
The next night, Sylvia came to their room and slept with them again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe bedtime story she chose today was about a child being independent and sleeping alone. She
concentrated on delivering the story but Isabel fell asleep before the story even ended. Liam, on the
other hand, listened to the end before he closed his eyes and hugged his mother to sleep. Sylvia
kissed the two little angels on the cheeks before she, too, shut her eyes.
Three days went by in the blink of an eye, and today would be the deadline that Odell had set.
In the evening, Isabel and Liam came home as usual. Odell was only a few minutes later than them
because he did not have to work late today.
The moment he entered the living room, he shot a profound gaze at Sylvia, but she averted it and
continued playing with the kids. She got up halfway through the game and went to the bathroom.
When she came up, she was stopped by a towering figure in front of the door. He looked at her and
asked, “Today is the last day. Have you spoken to them?” Sylvia tightened her lips. She looked like she
had something to say but she just could not find the correct words.
Odell wore a grim look at her hesitant reaction.
“Odell, today I’ll — ” Before she could finish, Odell’s big hand already clutched both sides of her face.
