Semua Bab Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Bab 621 - Bab 630

”It’s up to me to decide what’s good for me.” Thomas declared with a tinge of hardness in his voice. Sylvia frowned sternly, "She's your mother, you can't just ignore her feelings.” "I'll change her mind and make her give us her blessings.” He insisted adamantly. Sylvia could not help but turn to look at him. The look in his eyes did not contain the usual stillness within them. Instead, they now looked deep and filled with an immeasurable darkness, as if they were bottomless pools. There was a stubbornness in his eyes, mixed with something she could not recognize. It suddenly seemed as if there was no challenge in this world that would be too great for him. It took Sylvia a while before she came back to her senses. She stated solemnly, “Things are not as simple as you think." He immediately answered, “It’s not as complicated as you think it is either. I can handle anything as long as you are willing to let me.” Sylvia fell silent for several seconds, before sh

Sylvia was astonished. She was usually not a picky eater and was fine with eating just about anything. She had rarely, if ever, told anyone what her favorite dish was. With that said, a large assortment of her favorite foods had been laid out across the table. The plates that Thomas pushed toward her were filled with the foods that she particularly liked having for breakfast. Even Aunt Tonya probably did not know that these were her favorites. How had he known? Sylvia's eyes widened and she blurted out, “Thomas, how did you know what my favorite dishes were?” Thomas smirked with satisfaction and spoke softly, “Knowing what your favorite foods are should be one of the most basic pieces of information that your suitor should have.” Sylvia felt her face growing hot. Very well. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze, then she picked up the utensils and began to eat. Everything she ate tasted just the same as she remembered them. She was so touched that she

Two days later. On this particular morning, Sylvia was spending time in the manor with the children. Liam had become rather obsessed with reading recently. Additionally, he had been making a point of sticking close to Isabel ever since she had fallen into the water. The little girl had so far been very obedient and no matter how excited she became while she was playing, she still made sure that she stayed near her brother. At the moment, the two siblings were sitting together. Liam was reading silently while Isabel was watching a cartoon on a tablet. Sylvia sat nearby as she carved away at a piece of wood in her hands. She planned on carving a piano figurine for Thomas. Over the past few days, he had bought all sorts of gifts for the children as well as Aunt Tonya. Even though she had agreed to allow Thomas to pursue her, she could not justify accepting all these gifts without giving anything in return. Suddenly, Isabel turned off the tablet and crawled over

After the call, Sylvia went back to bed and tried to nap with the children. For some reason, she did not feel even the slightest hint of sleepiness. The only thing that continued to turn over in her mind was the picture she had seen on the Internet of Odell getting drunk. This was completely contradictory to everything that she knew of him so far. For someone as composed as him to resort to alcohol, the Carter Corporation must truly be facing an unprecedented crisis, the likes of which he could not navigate his way out of. Sylvia rolled over with an irritated frown. They were already divorced. Even if she were to put aside everything that happened between them in the past, the single episode where he had chosen to save Tara while being held at gunpoint himself should be enough to fortify Sylvia’s opinion that she had nothing to do with him anymore! She could not care less even if he died! Despite that, she found herself in a turbulent, irritated state. Even after Liam

Odell’s voice was obviously much gentler compared to when Tara had just entered, so her nervousness immediately eased. She thought about what had happened previously when she and Sylvia had been kidnapped and how he had chosen her between the two of them. It was a clear indicator that she still held an important place in his heart. Besides, it did not seem like he was going to punish her for what she had done to him in the past. Thus, she figured that he would probably not squabble over the rights to Lake Victoria Villa. She took a deep breath and walked up to him, presenting the documents to him with bold hands. Odell took them and briskly flipped through them. Most of the people who had come to visit him recently had all wanted something from him. Not a single person had come to express concern or to offer any help. He wondered what property Tara wanted to yield to him to help him out. That was when he flipped to the first page and the glaring words “Lake Victori
