Chapter 734
Sylvia sat by the window on the back seat of a car she called from a ride-hailing service , driving
smoothly on the road.
It was a snowy night, so the driver drove slowly.
Sylvia grabbed her phone in one hand and touched her stomach with the other.
Thinking of Liam and Isabel, whom she had not seen for half a year, her heart skipped a beat, and the
little fellow in her stomach also kicked her.
It had been half a year. The kids should have grown taller.
She did not know if they blamed her.
As her thoughts drifted away, the car arrived at their destination. The driver kindly reminded, “Madam,
we’re here. Please be careful of the ground.”
Sylvia thanked him and then pushed the door open and got off.
At this moment, it was still snowing.
Her house was also covered in a layer of snow, shrouding her roof and yard. It was dark.
However, the snow in Odell’s yard had been cleared, and the lights were on. The two kids must still be
living here.

Sylvia sucked in a deep breath and walked toward his house, but when she reached there, Uncle Ben
came over.
He looked at her with a complicated gaze and said, “Ms. Ross, you can’t go in.”
Sylvia pursed her lips. Odell must have ordered that.
When she switched on her phone today, she saw the messages he had sent her. He forbade her from
seeing Liam and Isabel. Besides, when she left half a year ago, Odell had said that she would never
meet Liam and Isabel again if she really left.
Her eyes lowered, and she looked disappointed. Sylvia hummed and looked inside the house with
longing. Then, she turned away and left.
Uncle Ben was surprised. He did not expect her to leave without hesitation.
He thought Sylvia would think of another way to come in, so he stood there and waited, but he only
saw her walking further away. He frowned and went back to the living room.
On the couch, the man who had reached home for a while sat straight.
His face was cold, and he leaned toward the couch, holding a cup of tea from the servant.
Upon hearing Uncle Ben’s footsteps, he asked, “Did she

come?”
“Yes, Master Carter.”
“Did she insist on intruding?” he asked again.
Uncle Ben replied, “No. She had left.”
Odell’s eyes narrowed, and he looked at Uncle Ben.“ Really?”
Uncle Ben hurriedly said, “Yes. I told her she couldn’t come in. She turned around to leave.”
“Are you sure she really left?” Odell’s face became cold.
Uncle Ben felt sullen. Was Master Carter not the one who banned Sylvia from coming inside? Why was
he unhappy now that she left readily?
However, he still replied carefully, “I’m sure. I watched Ms. Ross walk away and get into a car before
reporting to
you.”
Odell pursed his lips and snorted.
Uncle Ben shivered from fright.
After a while, Odell said, “Keep an eye on the outside. If she dares to come again, you don’t need to
chase her away. Tell me immediately!”
Uncle Ben quickly said, “Got it!” Then, he ran out.
The living room became silent.

The man leaned on the couch and pinched the empty cup in his hand.
A servant waited beside the coffee table but did not dare to ask for the cup that had been empty for a
while after seeing Odell’s expression.
The clock ticked by, and the atmosphere in the living room became more tranquil.
The temperature suddenly dropped as if the cold air gushed in from outside.
The servant shut his mouth and did not dare to breathe loudly.
The man’s face darkened on the couch.
After roughly half an hour, he suddenly stood up and slammed the cup on the table. Then, he strode
out.
