Alle Kapitel von Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Kapitel 91 – Kapitel 100

Warm light shed over the yard. Isabel and Liam never stopped slurping and chewing their food. Although Odell’s stern presence made the atmosphere a lot tenser and quieter, Sylvia still smiled happily when she saw her kids enjoying the food. The only downside to the harmonious atmosphere was the lack of pasta. Sylvia only had a small plate of spaghetti. She then added more to Isabel and Liam’s plate. There was still some in the pot, which was enough for Aunt Tonya and Odell each to have an extra serving. Odell finished his spaghetti in a few bites. He wanted another plate, but he saw Sylvia stop eating and was drinking water. He had a glance at the pot, then he also put his fork and spoon down. He said, “Make more next time.” Sylvia was stunned. She thought he did not have enough, so she said, “There’s still some in the pot.” Odell did not answer. Instead, he started eating the fruits that were prepared. No matter how much he wanted to have another plate, he was not that

Sylvia stayed in the kitchen until she finished all the cooking. Odell was sitting opposite the kids, and when she came out, he turned to her. Sylvia glared at him before she sat down beside the kids, diagonally across him. When Aunt Tonya came around, the family started eating. Isabel and Liam were never picky when it came to their mother’s cooking. They simply gobbled up whatever was placed in front of them. Odell had a glance at the mother and the children before he started eating. Dinner was a feast with some bread, chicken, fish, and a big pot of soup. It seemed simple, somewhat plain in Odell’s opinion, but the aroma from the dishes was alluring. It seemed to provide an indescribable delight to those feasting. Odell picked a piece of chicken and discovered that it was tender and juicy. He enjoyed the food a lot. His brightened mood somehow also lifted the atmosphere. Sylvia enjoyed dinner better than yesterday. At the same time, she also placed vegetables on the

Sylvia was once again stunned. Questions filled her mind. She pushed him and asked, “Tristan, put me down! Let’s talk!” Tristan giggled and put her down. Excitement lingered on his face as he stared at her. It made Sylvia lose the thought of rejecting him using the harshest words possible. Curious, she asked, “Tristan, I thought I made myself clear on the phone. Why are you here talking to me about all this?” “I know everything.” He acted like he really knew everything. “What do you know?” “You resigned because my mother got to you and forced you to.” Tristan then put his hand over her head and caressed her hair. “You rejected me with all those harsh words on the phone because of my mother, am I right?” Sylvia was rendered speechless. She did not resign because of that. “Tristan, what I said to you over the phone is all real. Mrs. Ledger did come to me, but I did not resign because of her.” “You don’t need to explain anymore. I understand.” Sylvia did not know what

Sylvia came home early today with a bunch of hot pot ingredients and started preparing with Aunt Tonya. With the hot pot soup base, the meat, and the meatballs that Isabel loved, the preparation took them a full five hours. When it was almost time for the kids to come over, Sylvia took her apron off, dragged the table and chairs to the yard, and waited for them to arrive. However, no one came even after the sky turned dark. Sylvia looked at her watch. It was almost an hour past the time that they were supposed to arrive. Worried, she called Isabel’s phone but could not get through. She then called Liam, but the phone was turned off. Then, she called Jacob, the bodyguard. Two dial tones later, the call got through. "Jacob, are Isabel and Liam back from school?” Jacob froze for two seconds before he said, “The two of them are already back home.” He sounded evasive and conflicted. “Why didn’t they come over today?” “Umm…” Jacob sighed. “Ms. Ross, Master Carter said

Sylvia was shocked when she found out. “He’s not eating?” Odell did not answer. The stony expression on his face was basically telling her to stop her pretense. Sylvia recalled how Tristan looked when he had come to her yesterday. He seemed slimmer and rather weak, and it was a surprise to her that starvation was the reason for that. She had no idea he could go down the extreme path, and neither would she have instigated him to do so. She looked at Odell and said, “I've rejected him many times now. I don’t care whether you believe me or not, but I never instigated him to stop eating so that he could convince his parents.” Her eyes widened in determination. Odell was surprised for a moment. Then, he regained his stern face and said, “If you really rejected him, he wouldn’t have gone on a hunger strike against his parents.” Sylvia did not know why Tristan chose to be stubborn and extreme. It even confused her feelings for him. Feeling helpless, she insisted, “Odell, I’m t
