《Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

Odell shot her a look. “Weren’t you going to the gallery today?” Tara answered, “The exhibition has ended. Besides, I haven’t seen Liam for some time, so I figured I might as well come to see him on such a rare occasion where you’re taking him out.” She turned to Liam and then noticed Isabel who was next to him. She was slightly startled. Why does this fat kid look so much like Liam? “Odell, who’s the little girl?" she turned to ask Odell while smiling. "She’s Liam’s friend." This surprised Tara again. How was it that this loner brat managed to make friends? She studied Isabel again. Isabel frowned and responded to her gaze with indifference. This must be the awful lady that Aunt Tonya mentioned! Tara quickly detected Isabel's hostility towards her, and she felt a wave of discontent rising inside her. Still, she formed a smile and addressed Isabel, "What a cute little girl. What's your name?" She approached Isabel and appeared to want to hug her. Liam immedi

By the time Odell came to his senses, Sylvia was miles away and her silhouette was the size of an ant. Odell's expression turned as black as tar, and an intimidating roar sounded through the cracks of his clenched teeth, "Sylvia!" Tara was frightened by his terrifying expression, and it took a while before she dared to approach him. She hugged his arm and tried to comfort him, “Odell, forget it. She has always been like this and there’s nothing we can do about her. Let’s not get caught up with her antics.” This only seemed to make things worse. What Tara said reminded him of the previous infuriating encounter with Sylvia. As if letting her threaten him with a razor blade to his neck was not bad enough, he had already let her escape from his very palms so many times! Just as he was about to erupt with anger, Tara quickly reminded him, “Odell, let’s go in and see Liam.” This seemed to do the trick of calming him, and his expression changed swiftly. He would deal with th

At Sylvia’s residence. The barbecue ingredients that Sylvia spent hours preparing had to be put back into the icebox. Without Liam present, Isabel hardly had any appetite. It was only under Sylvia’s insistence that she took several bites. The child sat on her lap with her eyes drowned in pools of tears as she rambled on and on, “Mommy, do you think the stinky uncle will give brother a hard time?” Sylvia answered, “He probably won’t.” “But he’s so scary. I don’t think brother can stand up to him.” Sylvia smiled softly. “He treats your brother the same way your mommy treats you.” “But Mommy never gets angry at me and also won’t stop me from playing with brother.“ Sylvia felt a lump in her throat. “That’s because he doesn’t know you’re his daughter yet.” Isabel gasped. “Does this mean he will let us play together if he knows?” Sylvia fell silent. If Odell discovered the truth, the chances that he would take Isabel back to the Carters were high. That way, Isabel wou

At the Carters', when Odell entered, the family physician was attending to Liam. The boy’s complexion was sickly pale, and he seemed to have passed out in slumber. After not having eaten for an entire day, he seemed noticeably skinnier. Odell knitted his brows together tightly. Madam Carter was extremely distressed by the situation, and upon seeing Odell, she furiously accused him, “What was the point you were trying to prove to Liam in the first place? He’s only three years old. What if something were to happen to him?!” Odell looked at Liam who was lying motionlessly on the bed and clenched his lips together without a word. The old madam returned to the head of the bed to watch over Liam after she had tired herself out from shouting. After some time, the family physician breathed a sigh of relief and announced, “Madam, Master Carter, the young master's fever has subsided. He will be fine by the time he wakes up, but he is still very weak and needs to eat as soon as possib

The two bodyguards were already approaching her. Aunt Tonya rushed forward while beckoning to Sylvia. “Sylvia, take Isabel and get out of here!” After that, she threw her weight into the two approaching bodyguards. Since they were more or less acquainted by now, the bodyguards were reluctant to use extreme force on Aunt Tonya, thus she successfully bought them some time. Sylvia immediately took Isabel and tried to go around them, heading for the exit. However, she had only taken two steps when she ran into Odell who was standing right by the exit. His large figure nearly cut off the entire path of retreat. Sylvia hesitated briefly, then she leaned into him with her elbow. Unfortunately, Odell stood his ground like a brick wall, completely unfazed despite Sylvia throwing her entire weight into him. Not only did she fail to shove him away, but she was also the one driven backward by him instead. Bang! Her back crashed into an adjacent wall. Odell held her down by pi
