Chapter 311

Odell pursed his lips and looked at her in silence.Sylvia thought again and asked, “What would you do if you realized that you don’t like me and regretted it?”Odell ignored her words and only stared at her. His sharp gaze seemed to see through her thoughts.Soon, he snorted. “Do you want to go back on your word?”Sylvia’s gaze flickered. “N-no, I was just afraid you’re being reckless and want you to think it through.”Before finishing her words, he dragged her down the car.Odell walked into the City Hall with Sylvia in his arms.Sylvia was almost carried in by him, and only her toes touched the ground.The passersby looked at them suspiciously. Sylvia quickly said, “Odell, I can walk. Let me go now.”Odell ignored her and only let go of her when they reached the registration counter.At this time, the phone in Sylvia’s front pocket rang.Before Sylvia took it out, a big hand had taken her phone away from her pocket.Sylvia wanted to snatch her phone, but she saw that t

Sylvia did not hold it in and let out a cold chuckle.The next second, Odell looked daggers at her.Sylvia pursed her lips.Odell then walked to Tara and helped her up from the ground. Tara conveniently leaned into his arms and did not let go.Odell had helped her up, but Tara was still clinging to him. She wailed, “Odell, I don’t want to leave you. I cannot live without you…”She wailed her throat dry.Odell patted her back. Seeing that she was still crying miserably, he glanced at Sylvia and said, “Go home first. I’ll come to you after sending Tara back.”Sylvia looked at them cuddling and tugged her lips. She replied indifferently, “Go with her. You don’t need to find me.” After that, she turned and walked to the road.Odell frowned and wanted to chase after her, but Tara held his waist tightly.“Odell… Don’t go. I beg you, don’t go…” she cried hoarsely.Odell closed his eyes and suppressed the annoyance rising in his heart. He said, “I won’t go. I’ll send you home first.”

Chapter 313

“Yeah, I’m at home.”“I’ll pass by your house while running some errands. I’m almost at your gate. Why don’t we go for a meal later?” After a pause, he said, “I asked Sherry too, and she’ll join us.”Sylvia thought and answered, “Okay.”Anyway, Odell was with Tara, and he probably would not look for her today.She still owed Edmund a meal.Not even two minutes after she hung up, her doorbell rang.Sylvia saw Edmund’s car on the road when she came to the door. He was wearing black sunglasses. When Sylvia walked to him, he leaned half of his body out the window and showed a crooked smile. “Lil Syl, get in the car.”Sylvia smiled and got into the car. Edmund then started the engine.Sylvia did not think he would arrive so soon. She asked curiously, “What errands do you have here?”Edmund’s eyes darkened under the sunglasses. He replied, “Some business. You won’t understand even if I told you.”“Okay.” Sylvia stopped asking.Edmund pursed his lips and glanced at her through th

Chapter 314

The air turned quiet.Tara had dragged down her shirt’s collar to expose her bare shoulders. Her tearful face looked pitiful and inviting.A normal man would find it hard to resist this kind of seduction, but Odell’s face darkened immediately.Not only did Odell feel no desire or lust, but he also furrowed his brows in disgust.Then, he peeled her off his body and threw her on the couch.Tara rolled over in humiliation.She could not believe that the man did not take her bait. Most of the men would accept her invitation!Rare devastation surged up her head, and Tara cried at him, “Odell, you said you’d take care of me forever! You said you’d marry me!”Odell’s brows frowned tightly. “I went back on my word. I’ll compensate you and take care of you as a family forever. You’ll never have to worry about money.”After pausing for a second, he said harshly, “This is the first and last time I’ll allow you to go overboard like this. If you do it again, I will not see you anymore.”T

Chapter 315

Edmund then glanced at Sherry.Sherry stood up and said to Sylvia, “Syl, I still have some work. I’ll leave first.”Sylvia followed suit. “Sherry, I’m done eating too. I’ll go with you.”She wanted to tell Sherry about her marriage registration with Odell, but Sherry sat her back down.Sylvia frowned in confusion. “What’s wrong?”“Ugh, forget it. I’ll just tell you.” Sherry looked at Edmund and then said to Sylvia, “Syl, Mr. Price has something to say to you alone. I’ll not stay here.”Sylvia then looked toward Edmund in uncertainty.Edmund grinned, but his smile was unnatural. He looked a bit foolish.Sherry went out soon.Sylvia asked him directly, “Edmund, what do you want to tell me?”Edmund was not in a hurry to answer. He opened a box of beer instead and took out a bottle, drinking from it after unscrewing the bottle cap.He did not stop until half of the bottle was gone. Then, he stared at Sylvia.The look beneath his eyes was not his usual sloppy look. It was seriou

Chapter 316

Sylvia noticed that something was wrong with Edmund but she still asked, “As long as I can be with my kids, I’ll do anything.” Edmund got up and looked at her. “Are you not afraid of Odell throwing you out just like how he did four years ago? He even slapped you sixty times because of Tara. Do you still want to sleep on the streets?” Sylvia's eyes widened. “How did you know that?” A sudden realization came to her and she said, “Did Sherry tell you?” Edmund said, “I ran into her at Lush Heaven last night and I asked her about your past.” He had drunk a lot last night, and it was Harry and Lloyd who had gotten Sherry to come talk to him. He had asked Sherry about Sylvia and Odell’s past and Sherry had revealed a lot to him. Sylvia frowned. “I have my own career now, the same thing won’t happen again.” Edmund refused to give up just yet. “Are you not afraid that Odell will hurt you again because of someone like Tara?” Sylvia pursed her lips. Afraid? She had never been

Chapter 317

Screech! The car screeched to an abrupt stop by the side of the street. Sylvia was startled. She then noticed the gloomy gaze that Odell shot at her. “Sylvia, do you really think I should be spending time with her? Or do you think that I’m joking about wanting to marry you again?” He had already decided to marry her again. Why would she think that he would have an affair with another woman? How bad of an image did she have of him? His expression turned bitter, the frustration even causing the veins on his forehead to pop out. He looked so grim that it was really terrifying. Sylvia shrunk back in fear. “No, I didn’t…” He cupped her face and asked, “Then what’s with that expression on your face just now?” Sylvia tightened her lips, not daring to say a word. Odell had been so angry that he had cupped her face and squeezed it hard before withdrawing his hand. After letting her go, he sat back down in the driver’s seat and said in an annoyed tone of voice, “Sit tight.”

Chapter 318

Madam Carter then happily said, “Great! This is great!” Isabel and Liam huddled together and saw the picture on the papers. Isabel curiously asked, “Brother, what’s this? Why did Baddie take a picture with mommy?” “This means Daddy and Mommy are married. They are now husband and wife.” “Husband and wife? You mean like a hubby and wifey?” “Yeah.” Isabel pouted. Liam stroked her head and said with a smile, “Sis, we don’t have to be separated from mommy anymore.” Isabel immediately asked, “Then can we sleep with Mommy?” “Yes.” “This is great!” …The two little rascals’ cheers and Madam Carter’s laughter lit up the atmosphere in the living room. Sylvia did not know what to feel anymore. Happy? Depressed? At the same time, she sensed Odell’s gaze on her. He was a little further away, with his brows slightly furrowed even as his lips curled into a smile. Sylvia averted his gaze and turned her attention back to the kids. Odell’s face fell, but it no longer mat

Chapter 319

Sylvia was frozen to the spot. She then said, “There’s no one here. We can just talk about it here.” Odell sensed the caution on her look. He frowned and asked, “Edmund said you slept on the streets before. What does that mean?” Sylvia had not expected this question to come from Odell. Shifting her gaze, she said, “It’s nothing. It’s in the past now, I’ve already forgotten about it.” She did not want to relive the bitter memories. “Why did you end up on the streets?” he asked. She refused to answer. Odell approached her and cupped her cheeks again to forcibly look intently into her eyes and said, “Answer me.” The tone of his voice did not allow for her to refuse. Feeling upset, Sylvia said, “Because I didn’t have money.” “How was that possible?” Sylvia laughed bitterly. “Have you forgotten? You took everything from me when you divorced me back then.” Odell frowned. Back then, Sylvia had pushed Tara down the stairs which had resulted in her permanent infertil

Chapter 320

Sylvia reached her house without even realizing it. Aunt Tonya was already asleep but had kept the lights on for her. There were even some of her favorite pastries left on the table. Sylvia smiled. She sat down and enjoyed the pastries. Eating was an effective way to help put her bitter memories aside. She was no longer her old self. She never wanted to live through those dreadful nights again and she would never let anyone else hurt her again.…Back at Carter Mansion, Odell was sitting at the balcony in his room. His towering figure stood in front of the rail as he looked towards Sylvia’s place through a pair of binoculars. A while later, his phone rang. The call was from Cliff. He answered the phone and heard Cliff say, “Sir, what I just found out was that after you kicked Ms. Ross out, she had gone back to her family but the Rosses did not take her in. I also found out that the money her mother had left for her had been taken away by her biological father and step
