Chapter 207 Since children tended to be more forgetful, Sylvia quickly switched the subject to other
matters to divert Isabel and Liam‘s attention.
They emerged from the tent after some time.
Odell was sitting on the chair outside with a long, dark coat over him. He wore a sharp expression with
an air of superiority around him.
It was a complete departure from the person who had just forced himself on her and threatened Sylvia
just now. Sylvia cast a pointed look at his figure from the back. Odell just happened to turn around to
catch her gaze. Her eyes gleamed and she quickly withdrew her gaze. Odell gave her a harsh stare
and ordered, “Pack up and get ready to go home.”

Sylvia ignored him, and so did Isabel and Liam.

Odell turned to the bodyguards Ben and Jacob who quickly sprang to action and began putting away
the tent.
The car ride home was completely silent.
Three hours later, they stopped outside the gates of the Carters‘ residence.
After getting down from the car, the first thing Liam and Isabel did was run to Sylvia. They were
reluctant to see her go. Sylvia looked at Odell and wondered if she could convince him to let her stay
with the kids for a while. However, Odell wore a face full of contempt as if the mere sight of her
offended him, so she immediately dismissed the idea.
She turned to Liam and Isabel with a smile, “Isabel, Liam, you two go catch some rest first. Mommy will
come to see you again at night.” Isabel chirped, “Okay.” Liam answered, “Mommy, you get some rest at
home too.” Sylvia smiled warmly. “I will.” After that, she kissed their little faces in turn. Isabel and Liam
return a peck on her cheek as well, then they turned around and entered the house. Upon ensuring
they were home, Sylvia turned to leave. “Stop.” Odell‘s deep, raspy voice stopped her.
Sylvia cast a look back at him and asked him in a curious tone, “Do you need something?” He strode
towards her and stopped right in front of her to glare at her harshly, “Don‘t you try to spit on me again.
I‘ll yank your head off.”
Sylvia took a step backward and struck back, “As long as you keep a respectable distance from me in
the future, I promise I won‘t have to spit on you again.”
Spitting on him was a waste of her saliva!
Odell scoffed with scorn, “Don‘t think so highly of yourself, I‘m not interested in a woman like you.”
Sylvia smiled and quipped, “What a coincidence, I‘m not interested in a man like you either.” With that,
she turned and went back home. Odell‘s figure was fixed to the same spot. His complexion darkened
just like the skies above did. It was something about her arrogance mixed with some element unique to
her that upset him so much. It made him want to drag her back here and teach her a good lesson! At
the same time, the scene from earlier today when he pressed himself against her kept repeating in his
mind. She had been right in front of him. Even now, he could feel the softness of her body. This woman
was clearly trying to seduce him! Without realizing it, he found himself marching toward Sylvia.

He was very quick. Sylvia had just reached the intersection when he appeared behind her. He grabbed
her by the back of the collar of her first and pulled her into his arms in one swift movement. Then, he
palmed her face in his hands and planted his lips on hers.
There was a soft, chilly breeze blowing. Sylvia stiffened, her body no longer hers.
