Liam took out a delicate purple wooden box from his pocket.
Sylvia opened it and saw a sunflower-shaped diamond necklace inside. It was crafted with attention to
detail and was breathtakingly beautiful. She pursed her lips.
Isabel stared at her and asked, “Mommy, we picked this out for you. Do you like it?” Sylvia strained a
forced smile. “I love it.”
“Put it on! Can we can go outside and build a snowman after this?” “Alright, you two wait for me here.
I’ll take the music box upstairs for you first.” “Uh-huh.” Sylvia picked up the necklace and the music box
and went upstairs to her room. She put the crystal ball on the small cabinet next to the bed. Shen then
stashed the necklace inside a drawer in the dresser Although Isabel and Liam were the ones who had
picked the necklace out, Odell must have been the one who paid for it. Clearly, it must have cost a
fortune. Having divorced him, it was not right for her to wear the things he paid for. After putting it away,

Isabel had already run out to the yard to feel the snow. Liam was standing silently by the door and
waiting for Sylvia as instructed.
Sylvia took Liam’s hand and led him into the yard where he made snowballs with Isabel.
Just outside the gate, there was a black car parked underneath the shade of trees. There was a man
seated by himself in the back seat. He had the side windows rolled down, and chilly gusts of wind
would blow into the car from time to time.
There was a tall wall surrounding the house which cut off his view of the yard, but he could hear the
peals of laughter coming from the opposite side of the wall.
The cries of Isabel calling for her brother and the occasional shouts of their mother could be heard over
the wall.
Sylvia would call out for Isabel and Liam from time to time.
Although Lian’s voice could not be heard, one could vaguely make out the picture in the yard based on
Isabel’s cries and tell that Liam was helping her make snowballs. It seemed that the trio of mother and
children was having a great time.
The rold wind was still blowing.

The days went by very quickly without any eventful happenings. In the blink of an eye, it was the start
of Isabel and Liam’s winter holiday.
That morning, Sylvia made a reservation at a hotpot restaurant.
In the evening, she went to the kindergarten with Aunt Tonya to pick Isabel and Liam up. From there,

Aunt Tonya liked. She also ordered fruit juice and some desserts to be included in the meal as well
before handing the menu back to the waiter.
Since they were here early, the food was served rather quickly. Sylvia immediately distributed the
utensils to everyone and made the hotpot for the children.
Liam ate slowly and with grace while Isabel went on a spree. They finished their meal relatively quickly.
Isabel was the first to finish. She leaned back in satisfaction and massaged her stomach while burping.
Liam gently set down his utensils and patted his mouth dry with a piece of tissue, not forgetting to help
wipe Isabel’s mouth too. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya were full in no time too. Liam blurted out of nowhere,
“Mommy, I’m starting to miss Great-grandma.” Something gleamed in Isabel’s eyes and she chimed,
“Me too. I miss Geat-grandma. Mommy, let’s go to see Great-grandma tomorrow.”
Sylvia checked the date. It was Tuesday and the next day was Wednesday, so she figured that Odell
probably had work tomorrow. After some brief consideration, she decided at last, “Alright, I’ll take you
two to see your great
grandrnother tomorrow.”
