Chapter 935
Odell was ready for the trip as well. His suitcase was right next to the couch.
Sylvia put her suitcase next to his and greeted him with a bright smile, “Good morning.”
Odell turned to her and muttered, “Morning.”
Then, he put down the newspaper and rose from his couch to approach her. He rested a large palm on her head
and beckoned, “Come on, let’s eat breakfast.”
Sylvia went to the dining table with him.
The thought that she would be heading to Glanchester to look for Sherry filled her with anticipation. She ate as fast
as she could and pushed the plate away as soon as she had eaten enough.
Odell glanced at her. “Are you full?”
“Yeah.” Noticing that Odell was about to set his spoon and fork down, she quickly stated, “Take your time if you’re
not full yet. Don’t worry about me.”
“I’m full, too.” He wiped his hands and his lips with a towel, then got up. “Come on, let’s go now.”
He held out a hand toward her.
She hesitated briefly before placing her hand on his.
Three hours later, the car exited the highway and entered the city center of Glanchester.
Sylvia kept looking out the window.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe city was certainly an exemplary tourist destination. The city view was wonderful, and the streets were filled
with greenery and art.
Odell sat next to her and maintained the same pose the entire drive here. He silently looked at the way she
continuously gaped at the view outside.
Shortly after that, they stopped outside a five-star hotel.
Odell raised a hand and gently tapped Sylvia’s head. “Here it is.”
“Oh.”
Sylvia pushed the door open and went outside.
Odell followed her out of the car.
The entrance of the hotel was nothing short of majestic. It was as if they had been transported to the middle of a
forest. There was even a man-made waterfall by the lobby.
Sylvia was astounded by what she saw, and she opened the camera on her phone and approached the entrance.
Odell trailed after her. They had only taken a handful of steps when several officials dressed in suits and leather
shoes approached them. Each one with a welcoming smile on their face.
A young man at the head of the group stretched out his right
hand toward Odell and greeted him politely and formally, “Good morning, Master Carter. I’m Mr. Stockton’s
assistant. My name is Peter Johnson but you can call me Peter. Mr. Stockton was going to receive you in person but
unfortunately, something urgent came up that he had to attend to. He should be able to meet you by noon and
regrets that he couldn’t receive you in person.”
“Alright.” Odell shook hands with Peter. From the corner of his eye, he could see Sylva who was taking a selfie by
the hotel’s entrance.
Peter added, “Master Carter, we’ve already reserved a room for you. This way please.”
Odell chuckled.
It was not directed at Peter. He was merely amused by the sight of Sylvia taking a selfie.
She put on a very smug pose and was trying to align the frame for a perfect selfie.
She suddenly untied her hair, perhaps she thought her hair did not look good tied up. After she took several
pictures, she changed angles and began clicking away again, making sure to alternate expressions in between each
shot. She was completely mischievous.
Odell observed her closely and smiled.
Peter followed his line of sight and noticed Sylvia.
She was wearing a t-shirt, along with a pair of jeans and white sneakers. At first glance, one would think that she
was a twenty
year-old girl.
Was the legendary Master Carter not already married?
Word was that his wife was a close friend of his boss’ woman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe thought for a moment before turning to Odell to enquire , ” Master Carter, is that lady your friend?”
Odell stated, “She’s my wife.”
Peter was taken aback by this as he smiled and complimented,” She looks very young. I’d have thought that she
was twenty years old.”
Odell’s expression darkened.
Sylvia was indeed twenty years old in her present state.
The sharp-eyed Peter immediately noticed the sudden change in Odell’s demeanor. He immediately became very
flustered. Had he said something wrong?
Did he not like being told that his wife was very youthful?
He cast a glance at Cliff as if signaling for help.
Cliff returned a look to signal that this was a risky topic.
Peter took the hint and promptly changed the subject. “Master Carter, what sort of food do you and your wife like?
We have all sorts of authentic restaurants here in Glanchester and I’m sure every single one of them will delight
you. Just let me know what kind of food you two prefer and I’ll have everything arranged for you. We’ll bring you to
the restaurant after I show you to your hotel room.”
