Chapter 663
Isabel picked up Sylvia’s hand and blew on her finger while chanting, “Pain, pain, go away.”
Sylvia could not help but smile. “Thank you, Isabel. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Then, she touched Isabel and Liam’s heads affectionately and said, “You two go and play while I help
Aunt Tonya. Dinner will be ready soon.”
“Okay,” Isabel answered obediently.
Sylvia walked the same way back to the kitchen.
Isabel looked at her figure walking away and muttered in confusion, “Strange, you can go directly to the
kitchen from here. Why does Mommy have to go around to the door to access the kitchen?”
when she said that, she raised her finger and pointed to a walkway that led directly to the kitchen.
Liam pursed his lips and did not say anything. A man’s straight figure sat on the sofa at the edge of the
walkway. He looked in the direction of the kitchen, and his expression darkened when he heard Isabel’s
childish voice.
…
Before long, Sylvia and Aunt Tonya walked out with a pot of piping hot noodles.
While Aunt Tonya placed it on the table, Sylvia helped to set the table. Isabel and Liam came up with
their bowls in an obedient manner. Only Odell sat down, his deep and cold eyes still looking at Sylvia.
Nevertheless, she did not look at him and simply went about her own business. Although she wanted to
kick him out, he was the father of the little ones, and Thomas was still in his hands, so she could not
mess with him too much.
After serving the children and Aunt Tonya, she gave him a bowl of noodles as well and placed it in front
of him.
Then, she sat down herself.
The atmosphere was a little stiff as Isabel and Liam ate quietly and obediently. Aunt Tonya did not
speak.
Sylvia also had nothing to say and ate with her head down. When she finished her bowl and raised her
head, her gaze locked with a pair of deep and dark eyes.
Odell was looking at her. The bowl in front of him was already empty. It was obvious that he had
finished the noodles too.
Sylvia avoided his gaze and looked at Isabel and Liam. The children were still eating, but they were
almost finished.
Thus, she watched the little ones until they were done eating and got up to clean up.
Aunt Tonya quickly said, “Go and rest, Syl. I’ll handle it.”
“Aunt Tonya, you can go play with Isabel and Liam. I’ll tidy up the kitchen,” Sylvia said and quickened
her movements.
Before Aunt Tonya could react, Sylvia ran into the kitchen with a stack of dishes in her hands as if there
was a wolf chasing her.
Aunt Tonya was stunned.
Isabel also tilted her head and muttered, “Mommy is acting strange today.” Liam looked in the direction
of the kitchen and did not say anything. Odell’s handsome face darkened again.
After entering the kitchen, Sylvia washed the dishes used one by one. Then, she tidied up the kitchen
which was already very clean. When she looked up at the time after an hour and guessed that Odell
should have left, she took off her gloves and apron and went to the door.
The moment she reached out and pushed open the kitchen door, a tall and straight figure appeared in
her line of sight.
The man was leaning against the wall with his back to the door and his arms crossed in front of him.
One of his long legs was bent at the knee, and the other was straight. Despite his devil may-care
posture, he exuded an aura of indifference and a strong sense of oppression. Sylvia’s pupils shrank.
Then, she looked ahead, pretending not to see him, and took fast steps forward “Stop,” he suddenly
commanded.
