The team-building program was actually announced two days ago, but Sylvia had not signed up. She
simply had a glance and put her phone away, but then she quickly got tagged by Betty in the chat
group. “Sylvia, you are coming, aren’t you? Mr. Ledger said that family members can tag along and the
team-building event is happening at Starz Club. I heard only rich people go there. Other than
entertainment for adults, there are also activities for the kids. Bring your kids along.” The others echoed
in agreement. “Yeah, come join us.” Sylvia was moved. Tomorrow would be a Sunday, and there was a
high chance that Odell would go out with Tara again. Given Madam Carter’s age, it was not that
convenient for her to bring the kids out on a Sunday, and it was not ideal for them to stay at home the
whole day either.
Sylvia had been to Starz Club before. There was an amusement corner specifically built for kids, so it
was more family-friendly than other venues.
Some serious consideration later, Sylvia looked at Madam Carter. “Grandmother, I want to bring Isabel
and Liam for a Sunday outing tomorrow. Is that okay?”
“You are their mother. Of course, you can bring them out,” Madam Carter replied with a smile, “But you
have to be careful as well. Tell Jacob and Ben to tag along so that they can take care of
you.”
“Great.”
No doubt it would be better with the bodyguards tagging along. Right after that, Isabel jumped up and
cheered happily. “Yay, Brother, we are going out with Mommy tomorrow!” Liam also curled his lips into
a grin. “I want to pick out a beautiful dress!” Isabel wanted to run back to her room immediately, but
Sylvia frowned at her.
“Isabel.”
Isabel stopped right away and looked at her mother with jutting lips. Sylvia patted her head and said,
“Be a good girl and finish your dinner first.” “Okay.” Although reluctant, she obediently returned to her
seat at the table. Sylvia put more vegetables on her plate. In response, Isabel pouted, but she
managed to finish everything Liam also quietly ate the carrots that his mother put on his plate. He
usually never touched the carrots, but today was different.
Madam Carter saw everything and got sentimental. Odell was a strict father, but the kids remained
rebellious. They always did the opposite and never ate the vegetables they disliked.
Even she was unable to persuade the little rascals to eat any of the greens.
Now with Sylvia at the table, they ate whatever she put on their plates without any complaints.
The kids really needed their mother by their side.
After dinner, Sylvia followed Liam and Isabel to their rooms.
The room was actually modified to fit Isabel after Odell brought her home because there were two beds
inside.
One of them had an ocean theme while the other one was colored with fruits.
The blue one belonged to Liam, and the colorful oranges belonged to Isabel. Other than the beds for
kids, the room was also filled with all kinds of toys. Sylvia played with them for a while and even told
them a bedtime story. After tucking them into bed, she got up and left the room. The night was cold.
Sylvia tightened her jacket and strode towards her place. She promised her kids that she would bring
them out tomorrow, so she could not afford to fall sick again.
Meanwhile, at Lake Victoria Villa, where Tara lived, she lay on the bed with a pale countenance and an
exhausted body.
Odell frowned as he sat down beside the bed. He lifted his watch. It was already 10 o’clock at night,
thus the little rascals must be asleep.
