Chapter 326
The two little ones did not react either.
The dinner went by in a very lively manner.
After eating, Madam Carter dragged Aunt Tonya away to chat.
Sylvia got up, intending on accompanying the children back to their room, but Odell grabbed her hand.
She tried to pull it back, but he held onto her so tightly that she could not break free.
She could not help but frown at him.
Odell smiled at her, his deep eyes burning with some heat as he looked at her. “We’ve already played
with them for a long time. It’s time for them to rest.” Sylvia subconsciously avoided his gaze and said,
“I’ll give them a bath.”
“The nanny will take care of them.”
She knew that Isabel and Liam had a nanny to look after them.
At Odell’s words, the nanny in charge of taking care of the children walked up and said to Sylvia with a
smile, “Madam, you and Master Carter can go and rest. I’ll bathe the children.” Then, she took Isabel
and Liam’s little hands and said to them gently, “Come on, I’ll give you two a bath.”
The little ones surprisingly did not say anything and obediently followed the nanny away. Sylvia wanted
to go after them, but she was instantly dragged back by Odell.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. “It’s time for us to rest.”
His voice was low with a sense of oppression.
Then, without waiting for her to speak, he picked her up bridal style.
Sylvia blushed. “Put me down, Odell. I can walk by myself.” He ignored her and quickly walked upstairs
with his long legs.
In the blink of an eye, he carried her to their bedroom.
Bam.
The moment the door closed and she found herself pinned to the door by him.
A scalding hot kiss pressed down upon her.
He had not given Sylvia any time to prepare at all.
After a long time, when he finally eased up a little, Sylvia immediately tried to push him away, but he
refused to budge.
The room was not lit, so it was very dark.
She could not see his face, but she clearly felt his gaze. It was the gaze of a predator hiding in the
grassland, stalking its prey. Intense, fierce, and domineering. Sylvia shrank and asked in a soft voice,
“I’m not mentally prepared yet. Can we do it another time?”
He cupped her face with one hand, pressing his face close to her, and replied in a low and husky voice,
“No.” He had been patient for a very long time. Now that they had finally married again, he refused to
hold back anymore. Upon saying that, he lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers again. Sylvia
was unable to push him away and had to let him do as he pleased.
Then, he suddenly picked her up again and pressed her onto the bed. She was startled and cried out,
“Odell, could you please take a shower first?” Odell froze. “What?” Sylvia babbled, “You stink a little.”
Odell was confused. He frowned and looked at her sharply.
She steeled her nerves and met his gaze.
After a few seconds of stalemate, he pinched her face. “I’ll take a shower then. Be a good girl and wait
for me to come back.”
Then, he withdrew and went to the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water soon came. Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, got up and turned on the room
light. Looking at the bed again, her brows furrowed. Even now, she still had not been able to digest the
fact that they had married again, let alone having to do that kind of intimate act with him.
Furthermore, that man was obviously determined to consummate their relationship.
After thinking about it for a while, she could not figure out a way out, so she sat down in front of the
dresser and started putting on ‘makeup’. Time passed silently.
Ten minutes later, the sound of water running in the bathroom stopped.
