Chapter 292 Sylvia raised her hand slightly and covered her face with the bouquet of roses. However,
in the next moment, a strong hand took hold of her wrist and pulled her hand down, revealing her face
to the others.
She saw Madam Carter and the butler smiling at her. She also saw Isabel and Liam‘s adorably curious
and confused faces.
Smiling awkwardly, Sylvia said, “Grandmother, I came here to see Isabel and Liam.”
Madam Carter smirked. “It‘s okay, I understand.” Odell then released her wrist. After he greeted
Madam Carter, he sat on the couch and casually picked up a book to read.
Isabel and Liam came over to Sylvia.
Isabel tilted her head and asked, “Mommy, why did you come home with the Baddie? And why are you
holding a big bouquet of flowers?”
Before Sylvia answered her, Liam said, “The flowers must be from Daddy.”
“Why did Baddie give Mommy flowers?” “It‘s because he likes Mommy, and he is trying to win her
heart.”
“I thought he liked the ugly woman?
“He must have moved on.”
The two little one continued to chat with each other without noticing the stiff expression on Sylvia‘s, or
the petrified look on Odell‘s. Neither did they notice Madam Carter covering her mouth as she
snickered away.
A while later, after their little conversation ended, Isabel frowned at her mother and indignantly said,
“Mommy, that meanie is a stinky bad guy, don‘t say yes to him.” Sylvia was speechless, and so was
Odell.
Madam Carter and the butler were also stunned.
Liam consoled his sister, “Sis, Daddy will turn over a new leaf.”
Once again, everyone else was silenced. Isabel crossed her arms and looked away. “Hmph, I won‘t
agree to it anyway!” Liam patted her head and said, “Why won‘t you give Daddy a chance?”
Sylvia stared at the little boy. He should have said that to his mother, not his sister.
After the reassuring pat on her head, Isabel calmed down. The sulky look on her face faded but she
continued to pout.
“Let me think about it alone for a while.”
After stating such a phrase that belied her age, Isabel ran towards her room and Liam went after her.
Sylvia heard a loud ‘bang‘ as the little girl slammed the door shut. The little girl was obviously unhappy.
Sylvia put the roses aside and headed towards the little girl‘s room. Back in the living room, Madam
Carter regained her composure after a while and she sighed helplessly. The butler said in a small
voice, “Madam, Isabel is just throwing a tantrum. She will be fine after a while.”
“Let‘s hope so.”
Madam Carter slanted her eyes in Odell‘s direction.
Odell had remained seated on the couch. His brows were tightly furrowed and his eyes narrowed as he
stared at the roses that Sylvia had put aside. For some reason, there was a complicated look on his
face.
On the other hand, Sylvia took quite a lot of effort in order to coax the little girl to open the door.
The door opened to reveal the little girl with a frown on her face and pouty lips. Even her cheeks had
puffed out.
Sylvia took her into her arms and stroked her little head. In a gentle voice, she said, “Isabel, this is
between your Daddy and I. It’s an adult problem. I will handle it, don‘t worry, okay? Don‘t be angry,
please?” Isabel‘s lips protruded even further. “But Aunt Tonya said that the Baddie almost beat you to
death before. I don‘t want him to pick on you anymore.” Sylvia‘s eyes warmed as she said with a smile,
“It wasn‘t that serious. Aunt Tonya was just exaggerating. I‘m sure it won‘t happen again.” She was no
longer her old self who was deeply fixated on him and she believed that she would never marry him
again. It was then that Liam joined the conversation and said to Isabel, “Sis, if Mommy and Daddy were
together, we would be able to live with Mommy everyday and we would be able to sleep with Mommy
too.” Liam‘s big eyes looked at them expectantly.
