Chapter 258
It was already past 8 p.m. when Sylvia drove back to her place.
She had already played with the two little ones all morning, so she dismissed the idea of going to the
old Carter mansion.
Moreover, Odell did not reply to her message either, so she probably would not be able to enter even if
she went.
The car stopped outside the gate. She got out of the car and walked in.
At this moment, on the second floor of a large terrace in the old Carters’ residence, Odell was draped in
a coat, and his tall figure sat on a leather sofa. He held a pair of binoculars in his hand.
Through the binoculars, deep eyes looked at her figure walking into the house. His face also became
colder and darker with the shadows of the night. The Art Association event had clearly ended long ago,
but she only came back just now. It was obvious that she went out to have dinner with Edmund again.
Furthermore, she did not come to see the children. Was she really planning to get together with
Edmund? Odell’s hand holding the binoculars tightened subconsciously. After a moment, when Sylvia’s
figure disappeared into the house, he threw the binoculars aside.
Then, he took out his phone and called Cliff.
He said in a cold voice, “Send someone to keep an eye on Edmund. Report to me immediately if he’s
seen with Sylvia!”
The night passed.
In the morning, Sylvia woke up on time and got ready to wait for the two children to come over.
However, even when it was almost 10 a.m., she did not see them. They should not have gone out with
Madam Carter today. Sylvia pondered and called their phones. She got the automated message saying
the phone was turned off.
Immediately, she could not help but think of Odell. Did he stop them from coming over?
She opened the messaging app again.
The latest message was the one she sent to him yesterday evening.
After thinking for a while, she sent another message. “Aře Isabel and Liam at home?”
However, even after waiting for ten minutes, there was no reply, so Sylvia had no choice but to go to
the Carters’.
Sadly, the gate was closed, and the guard stood at his post with a stony face. He ignored Sylvia no
matter how much she called him. Helpless, she asked, “Are Liam and Isabel at home? You just have to
tell me whether they’re at home or not.” The guard finally answered, “They are.” Well, it was clear that
Odell was forcing them at home and not letting them go to her.
Sylvia returned to her house. She took out her phone and looked at it, but Odell still had not replied to
her. She did not send him another message either.
At night, after dinner, Sylvia arrived at the Carters’ at 8 p.m. sharp.
Unexpectedly, the gate was open, and the guard did not stop her either. She immediately went in. The
two little ones were sitting in the living room, looking at the door. When Sylvia arrived, their small
figures came running over. “Mommy!”
Isabel pounced on her. Sylvia picked her up, took Liam’s hand, and went in. Madam Carter and Odell
were not around. Sylvia played with them in the living room.
Isabel chattered away. “Mommy, Liam and I wanted to go to you this morning, but Baddie took away
our phones and wouldn’t let us.go.” “It’s okay. Mommy will come to you in the evening next time.” It
seemed like Odell was worried that she would take them to see Edmund, so he did not allow them to
see her during the day. Furthermore, he still allowed her to come to see them at night, so he was
probably not that angry.
