Chapter 922 Shortly after, Aunt Tonya knocked on the door to call them for breakfast
Liam took Flint into his arms and walked out with his sister.
Sylvia rose from the bed and washed up, then she went through the closet and chose a combination of a white shirt
and a pair of jeans. She tied her hair into a high ponytail before heading to the living room.
Odell and the children were seated together at the dining table.
They all turned to her at the same time upon noticing her enter.
Sylvia met Odell‘s eyes and smiled politely, “Good morning.”
Odell returned the greeting, “Morning.”
Sylvia sat across from Odell with the two children.
After a while, Odell asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”
In between bites of food, Sylvia answered him, “I slept pretty well.”
Odell stared at her rosy cheeks and stayed quiet.
The silence continued for some time until he was full and set down the cutlery. Then he looked at her again, “We‘re

Sylvia remembered him mentioning something about them going to meet someone today and replied, “No need.”
“Hey Baddiee, where are you going?” Isabel asked curiously.
“We‘re going out to meet someone.”
“Okay.” Isabel did not press for more information.
Odell got up and walked out, as if to wait for Sylvia outside.
Sylvia was almost finished with her food. She wiped her lips with a napkin and asked Isabel curiously, “Isabel, why
do you call your dad Baddie? Is that how you usually address him?”
Isabel grinned, “Yeap.”
“Why would you call your father that?”
Isabel‘s eyes suddenly welled up with tears and she answered meekly, “Because he wasn‘t nice to you before.”
Sylvia pursed her lips at the thought. So, it really had been because of her.
Aunt Tonya had informed her of Odell’s past wrongdoings, but she decided that she would not add any further
comment considering how she could not recall any of them.
She gently caressed Isabel‘s cheeks and told her, “Isabel, I‘ll be back with your daddy in no time. We‘ll play some
games together when I get back, alright?”
Isabel‘s eyes sparkled and she chirped joyfully, “Okay!”
Sylvia stood up and went outside.
A black car was parked just outside the door. The windows and doors were closed, so Sylvia could not see
who was inside the car.
She figured that Odell was probably sitting inside and waiting for her already.
She quickly approached the car and opened the door to the passenger seat only to see Cliff seated inside.
Cliff smiled awkwardly. “Good morning, Madam.”
Sylvia laughed dryly and took a step back, then she opened the rear door and got inside to sit with Odell.
He was wearing a black tailored suit and sat up straight in an elegant, confident manner.
The atmosphere inside the car seemed rather heavy, possibly due to the dark look on his face.
Sylvia quietly lowered the window to let some air into the car to alleviate the tension.
“Drive.” Odell commanded.

Half an hour later, they drove out of the city and arrived at a detention center located on the outskirts.
Sylvia followed Odell out of the car.
She silently gazed at the gates leading to the detention center with a look of confusion on her face.
‘What are we doing here?‘
Shortly after, a young police officer in uniform approached
them. He greeted them with a very pleasant smile, “Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter, good morning.”
It seemed like he was acquainted with them.
However, Sylvia could not for the life of her remember who he was, she simply returned a simple greeting, “Good
morning.”
Odell took her hand and said to him, “Show us the way.”
“Sure.”
They entered the lobby of the guardhouse after that.
