“Oh.”
“Did you agree, Mommy?”
Sylvia said, “Yeah, I did, so I might have to leave a little early the day after tomorrow.”
“Mommy, do you not want to go?” Liam looked at her with his big, clear eyes.
Sylvia was stunned. She had not expected him to ask that.
Before she could answer, he continued, “If you don’t want to go, then you shouldn’t go.”
He was clearly just a five-year-old boy, and he still had a child’s voice, but he spoke like a little adult.
Hearing that, Sylvia actually felt a little bit more reassured.
She smiled and stroked his little face, saying gently, “I already promised, so I can’t go back on my
word.”
Liam frowned. “But you’ll be unhappy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia smiled. “I was just a little worried. I’m fine now.”
Seeing her gentle and happy smile, Liam pursed his lips silently.
“Mommy, why don’t we go with you?” The little girl
suddenly spoke up.
Liam instantly looked over.
Sylvia was silent for a moment. “The event isn’t suitable for you two. Just be good and stay at home.
Don’t worry about me.”
“Okay.” Isabel pouted and said, “Mommy, just remember to go back home early to rest.” Sylvia smiled.
“I know.” The little girl quickly picked up her tablet and continued to watch her show.
Liam also turned back to read the book in his hands.
Two days later.
It was a Saturday.
The children had no homework to do over the weekend.
Sylvia came early in the morning and played with them to their heart’s content.
After lunch, when the little ones were sleepy and she had started to doze off, she went back to their
room with them.
It was only when she put the children to sleep that she found that she had received a message from
Christopher and Simon on her phone.
The event Master Springsteen was holding would be this evening. They both asked for her address so
they could pick her up. Sylvia could not refuse them, so she sent them the address of the old Carter
residence and told them to pick her up in the evening After chatting with them, she soon became
sleepy and fell asleep At this time, a black MPV was parked at the gate of the old residence.
The man who had been socializing all morning got out of the car, walked up to the front door with a
steady pace, and entered the living room.
The living room was empty, and he asked Sebastian beside him, “Didn’t she come today?”
Sebastian quickly said, “She did. She’s in the children’s room now. I believe she should be napping

Odell’s expression softened. He strode up the stairs and soon arrived at the children’s bedroom.
The door was unlocked , so he pushed down the handle and pushed it open.
In the warm bedroom and cozy bed, Sylvia lay in the middle with Isabel in her arms and Liam sticking
close to
her.
Mother and children were sound asleep.
The look in his eyes softened slightly, and his legs subconsciously moved. Soon, he walked up to the
bedside and bent down, looking at her sleeping face from up close.
This was the first time he had been this close to her since he had allowed her to come here to see the
children. He did not know if depression had made her timid and anxious, but every time she saw him,
she was like a mouse looking at a cat. She seemed to want to stay away from him rather than spend
more time with him.
Looking at her moist and smooth face, he could not fight the urge in his fingers to raise his hand and
cup her face.
