GoodReadChapter 512
Sylvia had already bought a house here. After she divorced Odell, she planned to move here with Aunt
Tonya and the children.
Although it was slightly cut off from the central district, it was very close to the kindergarten. The
environment was rather ideal and this proved to be a good place to settle down.
After arriving, she carried her luggage into the house. In addition to her luggage, she had also ordered
some furniture along with household essentials online, all of them which had arrived the same morning.
After she was done putting away her luggage, the couriers arrived and pressed the doorbell. Sylvia
began her busy day. Little did she know, the same black sports car from previously had tailed her while
she was on the way here. The black sports car was now parked underneath the shade of trees right
opposite the gates of her house. The man in the car lowered the car window and spied on Sylvia
running around back and forth in the house.
It took the better half of the day before Sylvia finally got the house in working shape. By this point,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabel and Liam were already finished with kindergarten. Sylvia had no time to clean up so she
immediately locked the doors and drove straight to Odell’s. As soon as she parked her car outside the
gates of Odell’s house, Liam and Isabel bolted out of the door.
Isabel ran up to her first and wrapped herself around her legs and began prattling, “Mommy, where
have you been? What took you so long?”
Liam fixed a quiet stare at her.
There was a tint of anxiety in their eyes. It was as if they were afraid that their mother was going to
vanish and never come back at any given moment. Sylvia felt a sinking feeling in her chest when she
noticed this. She knelt and took them in her arms.
She murmured, “Mommy was just busy with some work and didn’t notice the time.”
Isabel pouted. “Okay, but don’t be so late next time.”
Liam added, “Mommy, you can call us next time.” Sylvia smiled. “Alright, I’ll make sure to do that.”
After that, she led them into the house.
Dinner was ready, but Odell was nowhere to be seen.
Sylvia frowned.
This morning, she texted him after she sent Liam and Isabel to kindergarten. She asked him if he had
read the divorce settlement agreement and whether there were any clauses that he wanted to amend.
She was still waiting for a reply.
Was he busy?
When the butler appeared, Sylvia greeted him with a polite smile and asked, “Sebastian, do you know
where Odell went?”
Sebastian answered, “Master Carter went out early this morning and hasn’t come back yet. He must be
held up by something at work.” “All right.” Sylvía had nothing to add. She took Isabel and Liam to sit
down at the table.
After dinner, she took them back to the bedroom.
The children were feeling particularly energetic today and it took them until past 10 p.m. before they
finally fell asleep. They latched tightly onto Sylvia, one around her waist and another around her arm.
There was no way she could wring herself free so she lay silently in between them. She did not feel

familiar footsteps coming from outside. She instantly became alert and carefully lifted Isabel and Liam’s
hands off her, got out of bed, and went outside.
She opened the door just in time to see Odell stepping into his room which was only right next to the
children’s.
“Odell,” she called out to him. Odell stopped and turned to look at her.
There was a subtle look in his calm, thoughtful eyes that seemed to question her, asking,” What do you
need?”
Sylvia closed the door behind her and walked up to him. “Did you read the divorce settlement
agreement I sent you yesterday?”
His eyes gleamed for a moment and he seemed to brush off the topic. “I’ve been busy these two days.
I haven’t had time to go through them.” “Then go through them now.” “I’m a little tired. I’ll take a shower
first,” he said as he opened the door. Sylvia quickly rushed in front of him and cut off his path into the
room.
She glared at him adamantly. “It’s just three pages. It won’t take long at all. You can take a
shower after you go through them.” He grimaced and answered with a stoic expression, “I left my
phone in the car.”
