Chapter 779 “What?”
Madam Springsteen was instantly confused.
He had to watch his children study?
He was at the helm of a conglomerate and was in charge of hundreds of millions worth in assets, yet
he had to go home to watch his children study? Wasn’t it the tutor’s job to do that?
“He spoils those two children too much.” At the thought of the two children left by his ex-wife, Madam
Springsteen also became upset. “He probably isn’t doing it just to watch the children,” Lily said in a cold
voice.
Madam Springsteen immediately looked at her. “What other reason is there? Could it be for that
woman who posed as a waiter, messed up Ramona’s birthday party, and made a public spectacle of
herself?”
Lily frowned.
She was thinking that if she were Odell, she would definitely not be involved with that vulgar and lowly
woman.
After all, her appearance, ability, and family background was not inferior to that woman. How could he
be
unwilling to even have a meal with her? Perhaps that woman might have used her children to tie him
down.’
Two days later.
That night, Sylvia waited for the little ones to fall asleep as usual before walking out of the bedroom.
All the lights were on outside, and it was very quiet.
Sylvia silently walked to the stairs, holding the handrail with one hand and supporting her belly with the
other. She carefully walked down the stairs step by step.
At the bottom of the stairs, she came to the living room.
Odell was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and reading a book.
He raised his eyes to look at her, most likely because he had heard her footsteps.
Sylvia subconsciously curved the corners of her mouth toward him in a sweet and pleasing smile.
Odell looked at her and asked, “Are Isabel and Liam asleep?”
“Yes.”
“How did they do with their homework today?” “They did fine.”
Saying that, Sylvia walked up to him and handed him the homework completed by Isabel and Liam, just
like the other days.
Odell took it.
Sylvia sat down on the sofa next to him.
Time passed quietly. His long and slender fingers flipped through the children’s homework.
After checking it, he put it down and gave her an intense look. “Not bad.”
Sylvia smiled. “So can I go now?”
His expression turned cold as he looked askance at her.
Sylvia had just begun to lift her butt off the sofa but she instantly sat back down.
He still looked at her coldly. “Do you think I want you to
stay?”
She looked at his expression and said, “No, I don’t think
SO.”
“In the future, you can leave if you want. There’s no need to ask me again.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave now.”
It was already very late, and she had almost fallen asleep
in the children’s room earlier. She had to go back quickly and get enough sleep so that she would have
the energy to come over tomorrow to play with them.
After she spoke, she got up and walked out.
The man who was sitting on the couch was speechless. The expression on his handsome face
instantly cooled.
Meanwhile, Sylvia quickly walked out of the gate.
Ben was waiting for her by the car.
Just like before, he quickly came over and opened the car door for her when he saw her come out.
Sylvia smiled and thanked him before getting in. Ben also got into the car and started to drive.
At that moment, diagonally opposite the gate, a car was parked in the shade of the trees for a long
time.
Inside the car, Lily sat alone in the backseat. She watched as the car that Sylvia was in went further
and further away, and her brows furrowed coldly. After a while, the driver asked in a low voice, “Ms.
Springsteen, the person has already left. Would you like to follow them?”
