Chapter 830
Aunt Tonya, Isabel, and Liam were huddled together in the corridor, all of them staring intently at the
delivery room.
When Odell came out, Aunt Tonya immediately rushed towards him and asked,”How is Sylvia doing?”
The children anxiously turned to him
as well.
He answered,”She’s doing much better, and she’s in the delivery room now.”
Aunt Tonya immediately heaved a sigh of relief,”That’s good, that’s good.”
Isabel and Liam seemed just as comforted by the news.
Odell gently patted Liam and said,”Take your sister with you and have Ben and Jacob take you two
somewhere to eat dinner.”
Liam insisted, “I want to wait here for Mommy to come out.”
Isabel chimed,”I want to wait for
Mommy too.”
Odell glared at them coldly, “Either you go and get dinner right now, or you go home. The choice is
yours.”
Liam
frowned.
Isabel scoffed at
him.
With that, they departed hand in hand with Ben and Jacob.
Odell turned to Aunt Tonya,”Aunt Tonya, can you tell me what happened during the six months that you
went to Galston?”

“Aren’t you already engaged to Miss Springsteen ?
What’s the point of asking me this now?” Aunt Tonya expressed angrily.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that on the phone just now.”
This seemed to appease Aunt Tonya, though she was still rather upset,“Like I said, you’re already
engaged to someone else. There’s no point in you knowing all this.”
“Our engagement only came to be because of a private agreement.”
Aunt Tonya’s expression changed,”What do you mean? Has this been a fake engagement the entire
time?”
“Yeah.” After a moment of silence, he asked, “I want to know why Sylvia is suffering from depression.”
He also wanted to know why she was carrying his child but had refused to tell him.
Aunt Tonya sighed, “Well, so many things happened in those six months. Neither of us ever imagined
that Thomas would turn out to be someone like that. The entire reason she went to Galston in the first
place was to save
me, Isabel, and Liam.”
Odell immediately probed,”Didn’t she go to Galston to be with Thomas?”
Aunt Tonya immediately clarified,”Of course not! She didn’t even love Thomas to begin with and even if
she did, she wouldn’t simply abandon the children!”
Odell seemed dumbfounded and asked again, “She doesn’t love Thomas?”

“Yeah, it’s always just been Thomas who was pursuing her. She only agreed to date him out of a sense
of obligation because she felt like she owed him and she thought that it was the least she could do.”
Aunt Tonya told him candidly.
Odell was baffled. How was this possible? She had even stabbed him in order to go away with
Thomas. How could it be that she had never had feelings for him at all?
He felt his body tensing up as he pressed further, “How
did you know she dated him only because of all these reasons that you stated?”
“I’ve been by her side the entire time. I watched her grow up and I know everything there is to know
about her. How do you think I know?” Aunt Tonya had not expected Odell to be completely oblivious of
everything that had happened. It would seem that Sylvia had never told him anything since her return.
Immediately after this, she followed up with,”The morning we left Westchester , she happened to find a
phone that Thomas had once used. She read everything that Tara had sent to him and found out about
all the despicable things he had done. Unfortunately, Thomas himself found out about this as well and
promptly had me, Isabel, and Liam all drugged. He then used us to threaten her. After that, she had no
choice but to go with him.”
Odell felt as if he had been knocked off his
feet.
He remembered how when Thomas’ men had brought the children to him, they had seemed completely
out of it and they had slept an absurdly long time before finally waking up.
At the time, he was still fuming over Sylvia stabbing
him, so all
