Chapter 882
Sylvia was startled and her hands began to tremble.
The number was local but not registered in her contact list.
This person clearly knew that Odell would be attending the dinner tonight and had even guessed what her thoughts
would be. Judging by the way the person had asked the question, it sounded like Thomas.
Sylvia gasped. (Who is this?]
( Thomas. ]
Thud!
She tossed the phone to the bed. Her face turned pale, and her body began to shake.
After a while, her phone rang again.
The screen lit up and showed the message that she had just received.
(Did he not tell you about the dinner tonight? ]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia took a deep breath and picked up the phone again. Her fingers shook as she typed, ( It’s none of your
business!)
She blacklisted the number immediately but she could not control the fear in her heart.
She paced in the room for a while before she called Odell.
The dial tone sounded, but he did not pick up
She frowned. Then, she carried the sleeping Flint and went to Isabel and Liam’s room.
Both the little ones were asleep.
Sylvia sat down beside their bed with Flint in her arms.
Having all three of her children by her side eased her anxiety. Although she could not completely rid herself of the
uneasiness, she finally felt the sleepiness overtake her.
She leaned against the headboard of the bed and dozed off.
It was only when her arms suddenly felt empty that she opened her eyes and saw Odell putting Flint back in the
bed.
He looked handsome in his black suit. The faint smell of wine continued to linger on him, which meant he had just
come home from dinner.
Sylvia pursed her lips.
After putting Flint down, Odell looked at her and saw that she was awake.
He raised his hand to touch her head and asked, “Why are you sitting here?”
“Nothing.” Sylvia then put up her legs on the bed and lay beside Flint. “I’ll be sleeping here tonight. You can go back
and rest.”
Odell narrowed his eyes when he saw that she seemed out of sorts and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. I just want to spend the night with the kids.”
She sounded annoyed.
Odell slapped her on the bum and said, “Get up.”
Sylvia shut her eyes and ignored him.
“I’ll count to three,” he said.

Before her words had even subsided, she found herself lifted up.
Sylvia squealed in shock but did not want to wake the kids. So, she struggled and complained in whispered tones,
“Put me down!”
Odell carried her back to their room.
Sylvia was tossed on the bed and before she could sit up, his towering figure overwhelmed her.
Thud.
She was forced to lay down on the bed with him above her.
He cupped her chin and stared at her deeply. “Are you angry?”
“No.” Sylvia looked away.
Odell turned her face back and kissed her.
The kiss lasted longer than usual, only releasing her when Sylvia was almost out of breath.
He asked, “Why are you angry?”
Sylvia pouted as she ignored his question.
