Chapter 1043
The fine weather in addition to the hypnotic rhythm of Odell’s typing made Sylvia fall asleep as well. Bef
ore she realized it, she had drifted off to sleep.
After some time passed , Odell wrapped up his tasks and closed the laptop.
He looked at the
pair of mother and son who were both sleeping next to him and smiled lovingly. It was a heartwarming
sight.
He carefully took Flint from Sylvia‘s arms and took him to the bedroom. After that, he returned
to the study and carried Sylvia in his arms.
“Mommy, Mmmy.” Sylvia was woken up by a toddler‘s babble. She opened her eyes to
see Flint lying next to her and snuggling against her body. Odell
was next to her as well. He was lying on his side with his head resting atop one hand. His gaze seeme
d to penetrate through her. She quickly sprung up from the
bed. It was her bedroom, the same bed that she usually slept
in.
The only ones in the room were her, Odell, and Flint.
The two of them were in pajamas. She could tell that they slept together.
She expressed with a frown, “Who let you sleep here?”
He smirked. “You did.” “When did I say you could sleep here?” He said without
the slightest twitch of expression, “You fell asleep in my study last night. When I carried you back here
and put you on the bed, you held me and refused to let go. You told me to spend the night with
you.” Sylvia looked at him, utterly baffled. “Why can‘t I remember any of that?”
“Because you fell asleep immediately after that.”
Sylvia was speechless.
.
Before she could raise another point, Odell touched her head. “It‘s getting late. Go get something to eat
. I‘ll take Flint downstairs first.
With that, he picked up Flint and got out of bed.
There was not much Sylvia could do other than abide by Odell‘s instructions and
scramble off to the shower.
It was Monday.
Odell went to work after breakfast.
Isabel and Liam went to school.
Sylvia stayed home with Flint as usual.
Sylvia took him to Madam Carter‘s room and spent the morning there with
him. After lunch, Flint began to get sleepy.
Sylvia wanted to take a nap with him but found that she could not fall asleep.
After tossing and turning for a long time, she got out of bed and had Aunt Tonya watch over Flint. Then,
she went to her studio on the third floor.
The door was closed but not locked.
She opened the door and stepped inside.
The room looked the same as
she remembered it the last time she came here, only most of her tools were put back into their drawers.
After pacing back and forth across the room a few times, she set up a drawing board and sat in
front of it.
The sunlight was ample today. The floor–to–ceiling window
stood in front of her, offering a clear view outside.
She looked outside and saw the scorching sun hang in the sky above, rays of warm sunlight basking ov
She took a deep breath and picked up a brush. With each stroke, she added color to the blank–
white drawing board.
She painted
the pale blue sky, lush green leaves, and the flowers that exuded a fine splash of yellow and orange.
The sky above dazzled with hope for the new day.
She completed most of the painting in one sitting as she was very inspired today.
After finishing the painting, she sat back and observed her work
with pride. She stretched lazily after that.
That was when she noticed a silhouette from the corner of her eyes.
She turned around hastily and saw Odell standing only two meters away.
He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded in front of him
and watching her paint. There was a shiny gleam in his eyes. He was enchanted.
