Odell pursed his lips.
Sylvia continued to keep an indifferent look on her face.
The clerk went through their documents and asked Sylvia, “Miss, have you two divided your assets
properly?”
“Yes, it’s all written in the divorce settlement agreement.”
“Very well.” The clerk sighed and went through the procedures. Shortly after that, she set down two
copies of the proof of divorce in front of Odell and Sylvia. Sylvia took her copy, thanked the clerk, and
left. “Miss, wait a minute.” The clerk suddenly called her. Sylvia stopped The clerk glanced at Odell,
who was still standing there, “Why are you still here?” Odell darted a look at Sylvia, then he grabbed
the divorce papers and left. After he left, the clerk suddenly became much more friendly and

You still have a whole life ahead of you. Don’t be discouraged because of a man like him. I have faith
that you will find a much better husband in the future!”
Her warm smile was infectious so Sylvia responded with a kind smile to her, “Thanks for your kind
words, 1 will take good care of myself.”
With that, she left.
The moment she stepped out of the city hall, she bumped into Odell who had the same dark and sullen
expression on his face as always.
He had not left yet, and continued to look at her gloomily.
Now that they were divorced, Sylvia had no reason to fear him. She raised an eyebrow and questioned,
“Odell, why are you looking at me like that?” She had not badmouthed him or anything like that. After
all, it was true that he had cheated on her. She had already been generous enough to not bring up the
fact that he had broken her leg. He suddenly took a step in front of her, cutting off her path with his
large frame, “Are you going to look for another man?” Sylvia took a quick step back. She figured out
that he must have overheard her conversation with the nice clerk back there. She answered, “I just told
her that I wasn’t planning to look for another man.”
He narrowed his eyes as he continued to stare at her.
It was as if he wanted to peer into her mind.
She reassured him, “I will follow the terms laid out in the divorce settlement agreement, there is nothing
for you to worry about, I won’t be looking for a stepfather for Isabel and Liam.” “You can be with a man
again.”
She was rather shocked by this.
He stared into her eyes, “However, that man can only be me.”
Sylvia choked up and it was some time before she could even answer him. “Odell, the moment you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbroke my leg, it was over between us. I’ll never look back, but I still wish you all the best in your life”
After her calm declaration, she turned and walked away.
Odell’s figure stood in the same spot like a monument, clutching the divorce certificate tightly in his
hand, nearly crushing the cover.
Without moving, he watched as Sylvia walked away without a second thought.
It was only until Sylvia drove away that he mustered up the strength to drag his feet to leave
Inside the parking lot, an expensive black car was parked near the entrance.
Upon noticing Odell, Cliff quickly stepped out of the car to open the door for him.
Odell entered the car.
Cliff did not dare to check on Odell’s expression, but instead, immediately returned to the driver’s seat
After starting the engine, he asked in a low voice, “Master Carter, shall I take you home?”
“Back to the office.” Cliff did a double-take. He peered at Odell’s face through the rearview mirror and
answered dutifully, “Alright.”
The black car drove out of the parking lot and headed towards the city. Meanwhile, there was an
unassuming car parked on the corner of the parking lot. In the backseat of the car was a young man
with a slender figure in a loose gray sweater.
