Chapter 548

After they settled the bill, Sylvia grabbed her coat and walked outside

Thomas followed her. Suddenly, she felt the sensual touch of a finger gliding across her face, Sylvia

was startled by this and cast a perplexed look at Thomas.

Thomas touched her face again, and this time said in a monotonous voice, “Your face is so red. Did

you catch a fever?” Sylvia stammered, “I-I’m fine. Maybe it’s because those dishes are too spicy.”

Thomas looked at her warily. “Then, don’t eat such spicy things next time.” “Okay.” Sylvia looked ahead

again. “Let’s go back to the academy.” She sped up her pace and widened the gap between the two of

them in the blink of an eye. While Thomas stayed where he was, his lips suddenly twitched as he

looked at her fading figure.

Sylvia sat in her office for a long time before her face returned to a normal shade. She remembered

that when she first married Odell, Thomas still had a thin buildup of baby fat on his face.

Now, he was no longer as boyish as he was in the past even though he still looked fairly young He was

several months older than her, so there was nothing wrong with him wearing a low cut shirt.

Perhaps she was too conservative and thought that she should stop treating Thomas like a child the

way she once did.

After clearing her mind, she managed to calm down. She stopped troubling herself with these thoughts

and proceeded to lay down on the table for a quick nap.

Downtown, on the top floor of Carter Tower, in Odell’s office… Ding! The display glowed up and the

caller ID flashed on the display. Odell took a quick look. It was his grandaunt Ramona calling. He

answered and put the phone to his ear, “Hey, Grandaunt, what’s the matter?” Ramona answered

cheerfully, “odell, the Springsteen family are moving back to the city in about half a month. Seeing as

how Madam Springsteen grew up with me and your grandma, we are going to celebrate with a small

party when we get back. After all, the Springsteens have had a lot of relations with your family in the

past. Do you have time to join us?” Otell thought about it for a second and answered, “No.”

It was true since he had a business trip in half a month.

“Can’t you just spare a few hours? They care a lot about the relationship between your two families,

and they will be very disappointed if you don’t show up.”

“I have a business trip around that time, so you can go in my place instead.”

“But…”

“I still have work to do. See you for now.’

“Alright.”

Odell hung up promptly.

Meanwhile, at the Deckers’, Ramona was sitting at a table with Madam Springsteen who was around

the same age as her. Upon noticing Ramona putting away her phone, Madam Springsteen asked

urgently. “So? Is the Carter boy joining?”
