Chapter 588
Sure enough, Odell came back in the evening before it got dark.
He was dressed in a suit with a long black coat over it, which complemented his tall and imposing
figure
He had only just stepped inside when Isabel came running up to him.
“Baddie, you’re back!”
Odell picked her up and said to Liam, who was reading a book in the yard, “It’s cold. Come inside to
read.”
Liam did not say anything but obediently put away the book and followed him in.
They would be having pizza for dinner.
At that moment, Sylvia was sitting at the table with Aunt Tonya, making the dough.
They both looked up when they saw the father and children come in from outside.
Odell smiled at her and quickly walked to the table. Then, he placed the box that he had been carrying
in his other hand on the table. “I bought some snacks along the way. You should eat them while they’re
hot.”
Through the box, Sylvia could smell the fragrance coming from inside.
She pursed her lips. “Okay.”
Seeing that Isabel was eyeing the box greedily, he put her down before sitting down on one end of the
sofa to drink some tea and read a book.
Isabel went to Sylvia’s side.
Sylvia opened the box and saw that the large box was full of tacos.
The juicy meat in the tacos made their mouths water.
The logo for that brand of taco was printed on the box. It was one of the top taco restaurants in
Westchester City.
Sylvia gave Aunt Tonya, Isabel, and Liam one each and they all began to eat.
Liam and Odell had similar tastes and did not like heavy food, so Liam only ate a few bites belore he
went back to read his book.
Soon, the box of tacos was finished by Isabel and Sylvia.
The little girl had sauce smeared over her mouth. When she finished eating, she rubbed her belly and
said, “The lacos were so good. I want more.”
Sylvia smiled and wiped her mouth.
Al that moment, Odell’s low and magnetic voice came from the other side of the room. “I’ll buy them
again for you tomorrow.”
Isabel immediately cheered.
Sylvia also siniled and pursed her lips,
The peaceful and harmonious days passed until almost half a month had gone by without them
realizing it.
Today was the day when the new term of preschool was about to start.
The day before school started, Sylvia and Odell decided to celebrate their return to school by taking the
two little ones out for a full day of fun again. They went to the amusement park, watched movies, ate a
lot of delicious food, and only came back late at night. Even Sylvia was tired, let alone the kids.
She nodded off in the backseat as she carried Liam.
Odell sat beside her as he carried Liam.
Seeing how she was dozing off, he held back his smile and said, “If you’re sleepy, you can lean on my
shoulder and take a nap.”
Sylvia momentarily woke up and insisted, “No, I’m fine. I’m not that sleepy.”
Although her relationship with him had improved a lot recently, the things that had happened before
had scarred her heart badly.
She could admit to herself that she still had feelings for him, but she could not bring herself to let him
into her heart again.
After speaking, she turned to gaze out the window.
Odell looked at her with his deep eyes and fell silent.
The car continued to move forward smoothly. Without realizing it, Sylvia finally fell asleep. When she
woke up, she found that the car had already stopped in front of her house. Liam, who she had been
holding in her arms, was now nowhere to be found, and her head was actually resting on Odell’s
shoulder. Her body was leaning so close to him that she was practically sitting in his embrace. She
quickly sat up in shock.
