Odell looked at the tip of the protruding stomach in the dark and asked again, “I arranged for three
people to be on guard here. Why are you alone now?”
The bodyguard quickly replied, “They went to have dinner and will be back soon.”
“Watch this place properly. Don’t let even a fly get in.”
“Yes, sir.”
Odell looked away and walked inside.
The bodyguard immediately shot up in alert, standing ramrod straight in front of the main door.
Around the corner, Sylvia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, she could not
help but frown.
‘Why do I have a feeling that the pig he was talking about was me? No, he can’t have seen me. With
his temper, if he saw me sneaking around here, he’d definitely drag me out and send me back to
Galston.’
She did not think much about it. Then, she skimmed the wall gingerly and walked back toward the way
she came.
The other two bodyguards would be back soon. With three of them standing guard, she would definitely

found if she stayed any longer. It was better to go back and think of another way.
Although the old Carters’ residence was located in the Old District, the mansion was surrounded by
greenery, and the nearest neighbor stayed several hundred meters away.
Moreover, there were no nearby houses for rent, so Sylvia could not eavesdrop on their movements as
easily as before.
Odell had probably moved here all of a sudden to prevent her from eavesdropping.
Sylvia felt depressed. What made her even more dismal was that she could not get close to the
Carters’ residence at all.
Whenever she came near, the bodyguards would find her.
She could not see Isabel and Liam at all, much less hear anything about them.
That night, she had just sneaked into the grove next to the residence when she was surrounded by Ben
and several bodyguards. They all looked at her with expressionless faces. Ben, the leader, said
helplessly, “Ms. Ross, please go back.
This was the closest she had been to the Carters’

residence these days, and she was just a few steps away from the wall of the courtyard. As long as
Isabel and Liam were playing in the yard, she would definitely hear their movements.
She was unwilling to leave just like that, so she said with a smile, “Ben, I won’t go in. I’ll just go over to
that wall for a while and then leave.”
Ben was troubled. “Ms. Ross, Master Carter said that you’re not allowed in a hundred-meter radius of
this place. You’ve already crossed the line. I can’t let you come any closer.”
Sylvia frowned and stared at him.
Ben sighed. “Master Carter should be coming back soon. You should leave.”
Her chest suddenly tightened in pain. She had been away for half a year. It was true that she did not
call the children for half a year, but she did not mean to leave! She had not wanted to lose contact with
her children for half a year either!
She did not even hope to meet them anymore. She just wanted to hear their voices!
Sylvia was so dejected that she simply sat down on the ground, saying to Ben, “If you don’t let me go,
I’ll just sit here!”
Ben and the other bodyguards were shocked. They did not

expect her to do this, so they exchanged glances with one another.
Although Odell had told them not to let her come close, he did not say that they could do anything to
her.
Furthermore, she was a pregnant woman. What if something happened when they forcefully carried
her away?
Just when they did not know what to do, a tall black shadow appeared from the side.
The grove instantly turned several degrees colder. After seeing him, the bodyguards respectfully called
out,” Master Carter.”
It was Odell. He wore a black suit and a long coat. With a cold expression, his figure was tall and
straight, and his whole body exuded a chilly aura.
