Chapter 814
After she adjusted her thoughts, she switched on her phone.
She saw several missed call notifications from Isabel and Liam.
They even sent her a voice message shortly after that. Sylvia tapped on it and heard Isabel’s adorable
voice speaking to her. 1
“Mommy, why is your phone off? Are you going to leave me and Liam again?”
She sounded sad.
Sylvia furrowed her brows and tapped on the second voice message.
“Mommy, if you don’t call us back in an hour, we’ll go to the police,” Liam said.
Sylvia immediately checked the time she received the message. It was exactly an hour ago.
She called them immediately and the call got through in less than a second.
Isabel bawled, “Mommy! Where have you been? Why did you turn off your phone?”
Sylvia explained softly, “My phone’s battery died, and I fell asleep. I just woke up and saw you guys
texting me.”
“Oh…” The little girl sighed a breath of relief. She continued , “Mommy, why didn’t you come over in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafternoon? Is it because of Big Baddie?”
Sylva frowned. “No, I have to leave because something happened.” “Really?” “Yeah, Honey.”
The girl hummed a reply and stopped with the question.
Since she called to inform the two of them that she would not be going over starting tomorrow, she
asked, “Isabel, is Liam beside you?”
“Yeah, he’s here,” the girl said.
“Mommy has something to tell you. Mommy’s belly isn’t feeling well lately and I plan to stay at home to
rest for a few days. I can’t go over to your place for now. I’ll visit again after New Year. Is that okay?”
Odell would be returning to work after New Year, so it would be safer for her to visit the kids then.
The girl asked, “Mommy’s stomach isn’t feeling well? Are you sick?” “No, it’s normal during pregnancy.
The doctor also
suggested that I stay put for a while,” Sylvia said. “Oh, okay. Mommy, take some rest.” The girl
sounded disappointed.
Sylvia pursed her lips and then asked, “Liam, are you there?”
“I’m here,” the boy said.
“I won’t be going over starting tomorrow. Be sure to listen to your Daddy and take care of your sister
during the holidays, please?”
“Okay.”
The boy’s adorable voice sounded assuring.
Sylvia felt relieved. She then said, “If you two miss Mommy, you can just give me a call.”
Isabel said, “Okay, but you cannot switch off your phone anymore!”
Sylvia giggled. “Okay, I got it.” They chatted for a while before Sylvia ended the call.
The terrible mood faded a little. She put the phone down and headed to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, in Isabel and Liam’s room at the Carter Residence, the girl started to feel sleepy after the
call.
“Liam, I want to sleep on you,” she said as she rubbed her eyes.
Liam straightened his legs and let his sister lie down on his thighs.

The room became quiet after a while. The man who was standing outside the room finally left after a
while.
He strode down the stairs and out of the living room before he got into his black sports car.
The gate opened up and the car drove out into the dark. His long arms held the steering wheel tightly
as his frosty eyes were glued to the road. His head was replaying what he heard in his children’s room.
She decided not to come starting tomorrow?
He just kissed her once and she decided not to come? She did not even want to accompany the kids?
How badly did she want to avoid him?
Vroom!
He stepped on the acceleration pedal.
