Chapter 786
It felt good. He pinched her face several more times until there was a reddish mark on her cheek before
letting go of her.
Sylvia was fast asleep so she did not even react to the pinch.
Sleeping like a pig
Odell snorted but even his narrowed eyes and furrowed brows could not hide his amusement.
Next, his eyes fixed upon Sylvia’s luscious lips.
Her pink lips were moist and full.
After staring at her for a while, he started to feel his desire rise.
He narrowed his eyes further and moved his face closer to hers.
Just before his handsome face touched her delicate cheeks, he sensed someone looking at him from
the side.
His gaze shifted. He straightened up and saw Liam staring at him with his big round eyes.
The boy had been sleeping beside Sylvia. Somehow he had woken up without his father’s knowledge
and was now staring at him intensely.
“Daddy, are you trying to kiss Mommy?” he asked.
Odell awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “No.”
The boy stared at him. He was quiet yet his face clearly showed his disbelief.
Odell’s gaze shifted and said solemnly, “I saw a mosquito on her face just now, so I was just trying to
check if it’s still there.”
The boy continued staring at him in disbelief. Odell frowned and his face instantly turned cold. “Why are
you looking at me? Close your eyes and go to sleep!”
Liam pouted and shut his eyes. The boy showed no interest in arguing with his father.
Odell gulped nervously. He loosened his collar and said to Liam, “Don’t tell your mother, or you won’t
see her
again.”
Liam did not answer him. Instead, the boy got up and kissed Sylvia on the cheek before burying his
face in the crook of Sylvia’s neck while turning his back to his father.
Odell was rendered speechless and his expression turned grim.
He suppressed the urge to pull the kid away from her. He pursed his lips and left the room.
Sylvia woke up after an hour or so.
Liam was already up and reading a book beside her.
Isabel had also woken up but she remained sleepy. She hugged Sylvia’s arm tighter and refused to let
go.
Sylvia hugged the girl and stayed in bed for a little longer. Only when the little girl had finally become
more alert, did Sylvia bring both sister and brother to the living room.
She saw Odell sitting on the couch as he read a book while having some tea.
The black shirt and black pants on him complemented his elegant seating posture.
When Sylvia looked at him, he turned to look at her, looking as cold and aloof as usual. Sylvia lifted the
corners of her lips into a smile. “Good afternoon.”
He hummed in reply and then looked at Liam beside her.
Liam returned his gaze with a frosty look of his own. His little chubby face looked cold, the expression
very similar to his father.
Odell cleared his throat awkwardly before taking a sip of tea from his cup.
Sylvia did not notice the quick exchange between the father and son. She sat down on the other side
and played
with the remote-controlled car with Isabel.
Liam hopped onto the couch and read his book. The peace and quiet of the living room was shattered
by the little girl’s cheerful screams. Sylvia would joke with Isabel from time to time, their cheerful and
energetic voices sounding very pleasant to the ears.
Odell was distracted from his reading, he soon shifted his attention to the mother and daughter having
fun. However, the precious family time was cut short by a phone call.
Sylvia’s phone rang.
Odell quickly returned to his book and pretended nothing happened. Isabel pursed her lips and kept
quiet. Only Sylvia’s voice could be heard in the living room.
“Mr. President, have you arrived there already?”
