Chapter 530
Sylvia told Aunt Tonya about her divorce from Odell.
After she finished, Aunt Tonya stated, “I will support you whatever your final decision is.”
Sylvia smiled and informed her, “I’ve already bought a new place and everything has been set up. I’m
planning to move in tomorrow.” Aunt Tonya was taken aback by this, “Are you in such a hurry? Have
you talked to Isabel and Liam about it?”
“I have.”
“While you were away. Isabel and Liam began to grow rather attached to Odell,” Aunt Tonya muttered
before asking, “How did you tell them?”
Sylvia answered truthfully, “I didn’t tell them about the divorce, I just told them that we’ll be moving to a
new place that would make it easier for me to get to work and for them to go to their kindergarten.” “I
see, I suppose that’s fine.”
It was getting late already Sylvia looked at the time and said, “Aunt Tonya, why don’t you get some
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrest? I’ll accompany Grandmother for a while.”
“Okay, I’ll go and pack my things.” Aunt Tonya got up and left. The room fell silent.
As Sylvia sat by the bed and looked at the old lady who was still sleeping, the look in her eyes
softened.
She took Madam Carter’s arm and gently massaged her arm the same way she used to do when she
had been imprisoned here by Odell. “Grandma, I just got divorced from Odell. Please don’t be angry or
feel bad for me, we were just never meant to be together.”
None of this would have happened if she had never gotten together with him.
Whether it had been their first or second marriages, both had been an endless torment for her. Enough
was enough. Even Madam Carter had ended up in a vegetative state. She and Odell were simply
incompatible. Sylvia continued, “It’ll be a good thing for us to be apart. Don’t worry, he’s still Isabel and
Liam’s father and I won’t stop him from visiting them. I’ll also bring them to visit you from time to time as
well.”
She said sostly Just on the other side of the door. Odell’s tall figure was standing right in front of it.
Through the wooden panel of the door, he had heard every word that Sylvia had said to
Madam Carter and he tightened his lips to a line.
After some time passed, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He turned around and walked to the end of the corridor before putting the phone to his ear,” What is
it?”
cliff’s voice was trembling on the other end of the phone, “Master Carter, Miss Tara…” It took him a
couple of seconds to structure his sentence properly before continuing. “She just cut her wrists. She
tried to commit suicide.” Odell’s eyes were like a pool of still water, “Is she dead?” “No,” Cliff informed,
“She was found just in time and saved. She just called me and begged me to look for you. She wants
to see you.”

Odell’s eyes gleamed with ice, “No.” “Alright.”
“Wait.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCliff prompted, “Sir, do you have any other orders?”
“There is no need to report her to the authorities any longer. Also, you no longer have to update me
about how she’s doing. I don’t need to know whether she’s dead or alive.”
She must have had a breakdown and chosen suicide when she had been fired from the art academy
and had her name taken down from the board of the art association.
This was what she deserved for what she had done to Sylvia.
He would not continue to prosecute her, seeing as he owed her for what she had done for him more
than a decade ago on that fatelul rainy night. However, he would have nothing to do with her from this
point on.
Cliff answered dutifully, ‘Understood, I’ll make the arrangements.”
The next morning, after sending Isabel and Liam to kindergarten, Sylvia and Aunt Tonya packed their
bags and moved into Sylvia’s new place. The children’s luggage was packed and taken there as well.
After everything had been unpacked and tidied up, it was already evening. Aunt Tonya bought
groceries and made dinner at home while Sylvia went to the kindergarten to pick up Isabel and Liam.
The two of them still came out behind most of the other children. When they saw their mother, they
smiled in unison.
