His towering figure surrounded her like iron walls.
She got nervous and her face got redder. He chuckled at her reaction. He lifted her face and kissed her
again until he felt pain on his lips once more.
He gasped in pain and was forced to release her lips.
He stared at her coldly and she reacted by shrinking her neck meekly.
He grunted and then held the back of her neck.
Just before they locked their lips again, she said, “Odell, I’m still pregnant. Don’t do this, please.”
His hand froze and he stared at her blankly.
Her eyes were reddish and teary. She was begging for him to stop as if she was worried that he would
hurt the baby in her belly.
Disgust rose all of a sudden and he took a step back.
Sylvia held the towel around her chest with one hand and hugged her belly with the other. She was in a

stance.
He glared at her coldly and then decided to leave the
room.
His towering figure disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye, and the door was slammed shut.
The room returned to silence.
Sylvia sighed a breath of relief but her chest hurt all of a sudden.
She stood by the door for a while before she got dressed and went back to her bed.
She picked up her phone and saw the unread texts and two missed calls from Odell.
They were from half an hour ago, which was when she went into the bathroom for a shower.
Why would he text her all of a sudden and ask her if she was home yet? Was he worried about her
after she was embarrassed in front of a crowd because of her poor painting?
Was she not a disgrace to him?
Her gaze shifted. The tightness in her chest that had been troubling her since the hotel suddenly
disappeared.
A while later, she texted him back, “Odell, thank you for coming.”
As she recalled his grumpy look when he left, she added another text, “But you’re engaged to Lily. It’s
better for
you and me to keep some distance.” Maybe because he was still mad at her, she did not receive any
reply from him. Sylvia got sleepy as she waited. She put her phone down and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, ever since he had come out from Sylvia’s house, Odell had been waiting inside the MVP
parked outside the house.
The window was half wound down and the chilly breeze entered the car.

His eyes were glued to the screen of his phone where it displayed his chat with her. At the same time,
he would look at her window from time to time.
Until her lights were out, he said to the driver, “Go home.”
The driver nodded and started the car.
A while later, the car left the district.
He pulled his phone up again and saw the text she sent him earlier. His brows instinctively furrowed.
Keep some distance between them?
Was it because of his engagement to Lily? Or was it because she was worried that he would hurt
Thomas’ baby in her belly?
Or maybe it was because she still loved Thomas, who gave her depression and anxiety, hence
rejecting his request to have sex with her.
On the second morning, Sylvia woke up as usual, had breakfast, and then headed over to the Carter
Residence.
“Mommy, you’re here!”
“Good morning, Mommy!”
