Chapter 804
Just when the situation started to get awkward, the waiter served their dishes.
The waiter was also surprised by their demeanor, but he managed to keep his smile and said to them,
“Sir, madam, your order is here.”
Lily smiled at Odell and said, “Master Carter, we shouldn’t be disturbing Ms. Ross. Let’s go back and sit
down.”
Odell shot one last glance at Sylvia before he returned to his seat. Lily sat down opposite him.
The waiter served their food as soon as they returned.
The baby in Sylvia’s belly finally calmed down.
She sighed a breath of relief and continued eating.
She gobbled down everything as quickly as possible and went to the counter to pay for the meal.
After making the payment, she strode out of the restaurant.
Little did she know, Odell had been staring at her from the moment she got up until she left his sight
completely.
He felt disheartened as he watched Sylvia leave in a hurry as if she was being chased by something.
Why would she react so anxiously? Was it because she thought he still had feelings for her and would

Slam!
Odell slammed the cutlery on the table. Lily was shocked. She saw the grim look on his face and asked
softly, “Master Carter, what’s wrong? Is it because of the food?”
“It’s nothing. You continue.”
He stood up all of a sudden.
“Are you going after Ms. Ross?” she asked. Odell frowned. “No.”
Going after her? He was not a shameless man.
Lily smiled and asked, “Then why are you standing up? We haven’t even finished our food.”
“I had enough. I’m going out for some air.”
He then strode outside the restaurant.
Lily frowned as she watched him stride out.
She saw him pull out a pack of cigarettes outside the restaurant and started smoking.
Her furrowed brows eased up after knowing he did not go after Sylvia.
Why was he angry though? All that woman did was giggle at the start. She sounded polite and did not
provoke him or anything.
Was it because he hated her so much that he lost his appetite?
The sun hung high in the sky but the breeze remained chilly in this season.
Sylvia called a ride by the street while the breeze attacked her bare neck.
She got into the car and left.
The driver was a middle-aged woman and she asked shortly after they left the place, “Miss, you’re
pregnant and you’re alone? Where’s your husband?” “I don’t have a husband,” Sylvia said with
furrowed brows.

“Huh? What happened to him?”
“I had a divorce.”
The driver sighed and wisely zipped her mouth.
Sylvia also looked down at her bulging belly and pursed her lips tightly.
In the next few days, Sylvia visited her kids at Carter Residence as usual.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe went over in the morning and left in the evening. It had become a routine for her.
Thankfully, she did not see Odell at all in the past few days.
The weather got colder. The festive spirit was everywhere, including the malls and shops. All the
companies were having their Christmas break.
The streets were decorated in red and green.
Sylvia felt a lot sleepier recently and today, she woke up an hour later than usual.
She immediately called Isabel and Liam and told them she would be late.
She got up, had a simple breakfast, and put on the sweater and scarf before she headed out.
Half an hour later, she arrived at Carter Residence. Isabel and Liam should be playing in the yard at
this hour but today, maybe because she was late, they were not there.
She headed inside the living room and saw the man reading the newspaper on the couch.
His black turtleneck and pants wrapped him whole as he
leaned on the couch casually.
