Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

The glance from Odell was obviously telling Sylvia to leave right after she put the kids back to bed.

Madam Carter was annoyed. She asked Sylvia, “Syl, where have you guys been? What happened to your faces?” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Her question came with a smile with a hint of anticipation. She was hoping for something to happen between Odell and Sylvia.

Sylvia then told Madam Carter what happened–from Odell taking the kids away from Starz Club in the morning to bringing them and her to Astroland. Madam Carter looked disappointed.

“Grandmother, the kids are tired. I’ll tuck them in, and then I’ll leave,” Sylvia said.

She wanted to carry Isabel back to the room.

Madam Carter signaled the servant with a glance, and the servant came over to carry Liam to the room as well.

She then went up to Sylvia and said, “Syl, since Odell is not coming home tonight, stay for dinner. Isabel and Liam should be awake soon. They’ll sulk if they don’t see you when they wake up.”

A quick thought later, Sylvia said, “Sure.”

At Lake Victoria Villa, when Odell arrived, Tara was sitting on the couch in the living room wearing only a thin dress. She called him as soon as he opened the door. “Odell.” She looked pale and weak while her eyes were reddish. Odell strode over to her and asked, “I thought your fever got better this morning. How did it get worse?”

Tara sank into his arms and said, “I don’t know. I didn’t go out like you said, but maybe because…”

She did not finish the sentence.

“Because of what?”

“Maybe because I missed you too much.” She looked at him in fascination. Odell tightened his lips and hugged her tighter. Tara noticed the paint on his face. She asked, “Odell, what happened to your face? Is it Isabel again?”

Odell hummed a reply. Tara frowned. “Why is that little girl so naughty? She drew a tortoise on your face before, and now she’s painting your face?” She felt bad for him.

Odell furrowed his brows. “Isabel just wanted to play with me. It wasn’t a prank.” The little girl had obviously painted on his face because she accepted him as someone close. To be honest, he enjoyed the little interaction as well.

Tara noticed the seriousness on his face, and she got a little evasive. She explained, “I’m sorry Odell. I thought the little rascal was trying to prank you with her brother again.” “It’s okay. Let’s go back to the room and put you to bed.”

Odell released her from his arms and held her hand instead as they went upstairs.

Tara also secretly sighed a breath of relief. In the bedroom, Tara obediently tucked herself in and Odell sat down beside the bed. A thought came into his mind and he said, “I have to make a call.” Tara simply hummed a reply. Odell went to the balcony and called his butler at home. The call got through after a few seconds. “Has Sylvia gone back?” The old butler cautiously answered, “Master Odell, Ms. Ross is still here. Madam asked her to stay for dinner.”

“Mm-hmm. What about the kids?” he asked. “Little Isabel and Liam just woke up, and they are beside Madam and Ms. Ross.”

“Okay.”

Odell hung up the phone with satisfaction on his face. The glance that he had given her before he left was actually him asking her to stay to take care of the kids.

The two little rascals were exhausted after playing for a whole day, and if they woke up with no parents around, they would probably be disappointed.
