Chapter 197 Liam and Isabel glanced at him swiftly and then continued eating the food Sylvia had
scooped for them.
Odell said nothing, but Sylvia accidentally let out a chuckle.
His eyes turned cold, and he glared at her. “Is that funny?” Sylvia quickly said, “No, of course not.” She
pursed her lip after she said that, appearing to be holding back her laughter. Odell snorted. “I‘ll throw
you out too if you keep laughing.” Isabel, who was burying her head in food, immediately looked up and
scowled at Odell.“ Baddie, I‘ll bite you to death if you dare to throw Mommy out!”
Liam said to her, “Sister, ignore him. He‘s intentionally trying to frighten Mommy.”
While Odell was rendered speechless, Sylvia let out a laugh again. He immediately shot daggers at
her, and Sylvia covered her mouth with her hand directly. Odell looked at Liam and Isabel and said
coldly, “Focus on your food. If you speak again, I‘ll send you both home now.” Isabel humphed and
lowered her head to eat while Liam picked a piece of meat for Sylvia before continuing his meal. Odell
sulked, still appearing a bit pissed off. Sylvia saw how he was boycotted by the children and said kindly,
“Odell, don‘t be unhappy. If you spend time with the kids when you‘re free in the future, they will be
more than happy to get close to you.” He looked at her and then dug in after picking up his cutlery. The
dinner began harmoniously until the signature dishes Odell ordered were served. The delicious smell of
cooked meat filled the air. Not only did Isabel‘s eyes lit up, but Sylvia also could not help swallowing her
saliva. She took her fork and picked some white meat to put in Liam and Isabel‘s bowls while also
taking some for herself.
Opposite them, Odell‘s gaze became gentle as he saw how happy the mother and children were as
they enjoyed their food.
At this time, Tara‘s soft voice spoke up, “Odell.” As she spoke, she sat on the empty seat beside Odell.
Sylvia frowned.
Liam and Isabel raised their heads unhappily. Odell‘s brows also furrowed.
Tara took his arm and said coyly, “Sorry, Odell. I didn‘t think that Nesta would say something like that. It
is a misunderstanding, and I have explained everything to her. She has realized her mistake, so don‘t
be angry with her anymore.”
Odell was in a good mood, but his expression turned cold when he heard Tara mention the woman who
had called Sylvia a mistress and insulted his children. He said indifferently, “I don‘t want to hear this
now.”
Tara‘s gaze flashed, and she quickly said, “Sorry, it‘s my bad. I‘ll stop talking.” She frowned and pouted.
In Odell‘s eyes, she looked pitiful and wronged. He suppressed the annoyance he felt and softened his
tone. “We‘ll talk about it later. You can go do your things first.” Tara curled her lips and said, “I‘m not
busy now.” Then, she glanced at Sylvia and asked,“ Sylvia, do you mind adding a set of cutlery for
me?”
Sylvia could not help smiling coldly, “What do you think?” It seemed that Tara had expected her reply.
She looked at Odell with a hurt expression. “Odell, then I shall join the others for some fast food
outside.” Odell frowned and turned to look at Sylvia with dissatisfaction.
Sylvia pulled a long face. She knew Tara wanted to stay for dinner to disgust her, but she was paying
for this meal. If Odell was unhappy, he was more than free to bring her to another place.
At this time, Isabel suddenly hugged Sylvia with her small hands and snuggled into her embrace. She
murmured, “Mommy, I don‘t want to eat with her. She makes me lose my appetite.” Liam also put down
his fork and said with a cold face, “Me too.“
