Sylvia instinctively hugged Isabel tighter. Isabel lifted her chubby face from her mother’s chest and
bawled at Odell, “You big Baddie, go away! Don’t you stare at my mommy!” Her little kiddy voice was
clear and strong already. Odell frowned. “I’ll wait for you outside.”
His words were meant for Sylvia. He then left the mother and daughter alone. The little girl then buried
her face into Sylvia’s chest again and hugged her tighter. “Mommy, don’t leave!” Sylvia patted the girl’s
head. “Mommy isn’t leaving. I’m just going to have a word with Daddy.”
“Really?” The girl stared at her with longing eyes. Sylvia replied with a smile,”Of course. I’ll be back
soon.”
Isabel pouted but she finally let go of her mother. Sylvia put Isabel beside Liam and said to the boy,
“Liam, take good care of your sister while I’m away. I’ll be right back.” Liam held Isabel’s hand and said,

Odell was alone in the living room.
Sylvia walked closer and stopped two meters away from him. She said, “Odell, I’m not going
back.”
Odell looked at her with frosty eyes. “You have no right to refuse me now.” Sylvia furrowed her brows.
“Isabel’s health is still unstable now, I can’t leave her.”
Odell lifted his watch and had a glance at the time. “You will have until noon today to say your
goodbyes. I’ll allow you to see the kids once a week or you can choose to not see them at all.”
“Fine.”
Without any other options at the moment, she was forced to agree to his terms.
In the corridor to the two little ones’ room, Isabel and Liam had come out of bed and were huddled
together with their heads poking out towards the living room as they tried to listen to their parents’
conversation in the living room.
Isabel tried listening for a while but was unable to hear them properly. She asked Liam,” Brother, can
you hear what the Baddie is talking to Mommy about?”
Liam furrowed his brows. “I can’t hear it clearly either.”
.
It was then that Sylvia came over.
The two of them immediately turned around and scurried back to their room like the wind.
By the time Sylvia returned to their room, the two of them were already back on their beds.
Isabel leaned on her brother’s shoulder as she pouted and feigned grievance on her face.
Sylvia sat down beside them.
Isabel crawled into her mother’s arms and said, “Mommy, what did the Baddie say to you?” Sylvia

Isabel was unhappy with the answer. Sylvia smiled. “The two of you are not just my children, you’re
also his children. Of course he cares about you two.”
She might hate Odell but she could tell Odell really did care about Isabel and Liam.
As a mother, of course she would not choose to badmouth the father in front of the kids because of her
personal gains or feelings.
The towering figure was waiting outside the door.
The expression on his face shifted a little when he overheard the conversation inside. He showed no
intention of leaving.
Isabel grunted in annoyance after hearing her mother. Sylvia simply smiled at the girl. Then, Liam
asked, “Mommy, where have you been for the past week? And where’s Great Grandma? We haven’t
seen her for a while now.” His big clear eyes looked at his mother with curiosity as Isabel did the same.
With a troubled look on her face, Sylvia’s gaze shifted for a bit. It seemed that Odell had not told them
about Madam Carter or his suspicion that she and Edmund had pushed Madam Carter down the hill.
