Chapter 819
The demeanor of the two little ones immediately changed as they turned to greet her, “Hello, Aunt Lily.”
Sebastian seemed more reserved as well and politely greeted, " Hello, Miss Lily.”
Lily smiled and said to Isabel and Liam, "Come over and sit here.”
She gestured to the couch.
Isabel’s eyes glittered, but her tiny hand did not let go of Odell.
She did not want to move over to the couch just yet, she wanted to be with her father a little longer.
Lily frowned slightly as the slightest hint of vexation passed through her eyes.
Liam sat down.
Upon sitting down on the single couch, he produced a Rubik's cube from his pocket. He noticed that Sebastian was still standing
and turned to him, “Uncle Sebastian, come take a seat as well.”
Lily's expression changed.
Sebastian smiled as he replied, "I'm not tired. I'll just go out for a walk."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, he went outside.
Liam frowned and continued to play with the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
Meanwhile, Isabel continued her conversation with Odell, “Hey
Baddie, how did you get into a car accident?"
Odell stroked her head and answered, "I accidentally hit a street light."
It had not been accidental, it had been intentional.
He had slowed the car down when he received a text from Sylvia last night.
If he had not slowed down at the time, he would have rammed headfirst into an oncoming truck and things would have been far
worse if that had happened.
Her text had saved his life.
Isabel snorted, “You’re silly, Baddie. I can’t believe you hit a streetlight.”
Odell playfully tapped her on the forehead. “Do you dare to say that again?”
Isabel flung herself into his arms again, pressing her chubby face against his chest while chuckling all the while, “Hehe, stupid,
silly baddie.”
Odell gently smacked her on the bum several times.
Although he put on a show of reprimanding her, he was smiling the entire time.
Meanwhile, Lily watched the two interact with one another. With her hands tightly clasped together and an indiscernible look on
her face, it took some time before she managed to compose herself again.
As if calling her own father a degrading name like ‘silly baddie’ was not bad enough, she had the ill manners to say her father
was stupid.
What was worse was that Odell did not seem in the least bothered by it at all.
He was spoiling this uncultured girl too much!
If she was to marry him and start a family with him in the future, she had a feeling that this brat would be a real problem, she had
to instill some manners in her before it was too late.
The day quickly passed and the sky began to darken.
Inside the ward.
Isabel was sound asleep in Odell's arms.
Liam was still fiddling with the Rubik's Cube.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell was reading a book.
Lily rose and approached him, “It's getting late, I won’t continue to bother you.”
Odell barely glanced at her, “Goodbye.”
Both his voice and his expression show his disinterest.
Lily was slightly upset by this but still made sure to maintain a polite smile as she bid him farewell and left.
She had just taken her first step out of the ward when Isabel lifted her head from Odell’s arms.
Odell smiled gently and cupped her face, "When did you wake up?"
Isabel smiled and confessed, “I’ve been awake for a bit.”
"Then why are you still pretending to sleep?"
“Aunt Lily doesn’t like it when I keep hugging you so if I don't pretend to be asleep, she will want me to sit on the couch.” She
pouted grumpily at the mention of Lily.
Over time, she had become more and more aware that Lily was not fond of her.
Odell frowned, "Don't worry about what she says.”
They were only engaged because of a private agreement. They were more like business partners in a collaboration than an
actual couple.
Isabel pouted, “You might like me now, but when you marry her and have a baby with her, we will stop being your favorites.”
Odell fell silent.
