Chapter 583
Sylvia responded with a smile, “He didn’t bully me. Don’t worry.”
“That’s good.” Aunt Tonya put down the broom in her hand,
Sylvia thought of something and asked suspiciously, “Aunt Tonya, didn’t you see Odell earlier this
morning?” Why did Aunt Tonya seem so surprised to see him now? Aunt Tonya also looked puzzled. “I
didn’t see him. I was called out by Sebastian not long after I got up. I only saw Odell when I came
back.” Sylvia frowned. “So, it wasn’t you that told him that I hurt my leg because of him?” Aunt Tonya
quickly said, “Of course not.”
Sylvia choked and felt her face heat up.
That man had clearly lied to her!
Aunt Tonya saw that she looked upset and worriedly asked, “What’s wrong, Syl?”
“It’s nothing. I’m hungry. Let’s make breakfast.” “Sure. I’ve already prepared the ingredients. I’ll go get
them now,” Aunt Tonya said and went to the kitchen.
Sylvia glanced outside and followed her to the kitchen.
In the evening. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya had just brought dinner to the table when Odell came over,
uninvited.
He wore dark loungewear, which gave his straight figure a slightly more down-to-earth air than usual.
When he came in, he sat down in the chair that he usually sat in.
Sylvia explained everything to Aunt Tonya during the day, so the latter merely glanced at him without
saying anything. Isabel and Liam obediently climbed into their seats.
Dinner passed calmly.
After the meal, Sylvia wanted to help Aunt Tonya clean up, but the latter sternly refused.
Thus, she limped over to the sofa and sat down.
As usual, she sat beside Liam. The little boy read his book while Sylvia took out her phone and
prepared to read the news released by the Art Academy. At that moment, Odell, who usually sat on the
other side with Isabel, suddenly came over and sat beside Sylvia Isabel sat on his lap, while holding a
tablet in one hand and a snack in the other. She looked incredibly comfortable.
Although a cartoon was playing on the tablet, and her mouth was munching away on her snack, Sylvia
still felt awkward.
Inadvertently, she thought of the long kiss that she had shared with him that morning.
Her cheeks heated up, and her throat went dry. Without looking at him, she took a sip of water from her
cup. “Is your leg better?” Odell suddenly asked.
Sylvia paused for a moment before humming in reply. “Have you reapplied the medication?” he asked.
She said honestly, “I’ll spray some on before going to bed later.” “Hm.”
He did not say anything further, as he held Isabel with one hand while flipping through a book with the
other.
A quietness settled upon the atmosphere.
Sylvia’s mood also quickly calmed down. She turned on her phone again and scrolled through some of
the news that had been released by the Art Academy, reading each one carefully.
In the brightly lit and spacious living room, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious that was rarely
found here.
Meanwhile, outside the gate.
Under the shade of a thick tree, Thomas was leaning against a tree. With one hand in the pocket of his
coat, he pinched a cigarette between his fingers, and smoked as he observed the scene in the living
room. A long time passed and it was only when he had finished smoking the whole pack of cigarettes
that he finally stepped away. His body was slender and thin in the night. However, under his fluffy
bangs was a fair complexioned face and a pair of beautiful eyes that were filled with gloom and
coldness.
