Chapter 562
On the second morning, Sylvia was still fast asleep when she felt something heavy on her stomach. It
felt like a soft rock falling on her.
She opened her eyes and saw Isabel giggling at her. “Mommy, the sun is up! Hurry up and wake up!”
“Isabel? Why are you awake at this hour?” Sylvia got up with a confused look. “The baddie is here. He
said he’s taking us to some fun place today.” Isabel then looked outside the door.
Sylvia followed her gaze and saw Odell waiting outside the door. He was leaning on the frame with a
sleepy Liam in his arm. He had been staring at her deeply when she was still asleep. Sylvia glared at
him the moment she widened her sleepy eyes. He got in! Not only that, he came all the way to her
room! Odell curled his lips. “I’m here to bring the kids out. Are you coming?”
Sylvia did not want to talk to him but she tended to be less frosty to him in front of the kids. “I have to
attend some events at the Art Academy today. I don’t have the time.” Odell’s delight froze and
shattered. Before he could say a word, Isabel pouted and bawled. “Mommy, why are you busy again?
You don’t like to play with us anymore?”
Sylvia immediately pampered the girl and said, “Isabel, Mommy loves you and Liam the most. I wish I
could play with you all day long but I have to attend an event at the academy. You and Liam can go
play with Daddy. Be a good girl.” Isabel pouted her puffy face. “I want to play with Mommy, Liam, and
the baddie!” Sylvia shot a troubled gaze at Odell and furrowed her brows, signaling him to calm the girl
down.
Odell turned a blind eye to her. Not only did he ignore Sylvia, but he also started patting Liam.
Sylvia choked on the reaction she received.
Isabel was still throwing a tantrum in her arms. The girl nuzzled her head against her shoulder and
pouted as if she was going to cry.
Sylvia knew the little girl well enough to know that the girl would not simply cry because of such a trivial
matter. She was merely acting
However, the acting worked and Sylvia started to feel bad for the girl
Shr hugged the pill for a while and came up with an excuse. “Isabel, i’ve already promised I’d attend
the event, so I can’t just leave like that. Huut the event ends early, I’ll go find you and Lian How about
that?”
Isabel’s pour y rxpression changed “Heally?”
“Really,” Sylvia said.
She had to attend the Art Academy’s New Year event but even if the event ended early, she would
probably not join her kids.
Isabel believed her and the pouty expression went away. “Mommy, then you must hurry up and go
meet us later!”
Sylvia smiled. “I will.”
The little girl jumped down and ran to Odell. Odell stood outside the door and shot a cold gaze at
Sylvia.
Sylvia’s expression turned frosty as she shot a strong gaze at him.
The little girl reached his side. Odell bent over and carried Isabel up with his idle arm. He had one last
glance at Sylvia before he went away with the kids. Sylvia sighed a breath of relief. She got up and
started to prepare for the event later.
The New Year event was held in a spacious hall. Christopher invited almost all the lecturers of the
academy.
The event was filled with all kinds of activities and they were all quite interesting.
The event started at 10:00 a.m.
