After the call ended, Sonia left in annoyance. Back at Lake Victoria Villa, Tara enjoyed her glass of red wine with a mischievous grin. Sonia was such a gullible person. With the little fiasco she caused, Sylvia would have to move away from the Old District again. The houses in the Old District were rather archaic, but the rent was expensive. Given Sylvia’s current salary, she would never be able to afford one. The houses surrounding the Old District were even more expensive, so she might have to move quite far away. The further she moved, the harder it would be for her to pick her kids up and visit the Carters’. With that, she would naturally draw distance from Odell. … That night, while Sylvia was searching for houses to rent online, Jacob, who helped them tidy up the house, went home and updated Isabel and Liam. Isabel was grumpy after learning what happened. “It must be that bad woman! Brother, let’s call Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob to go to her house!” Liam car

Odell frowned. “Isabel?” Isabel burst into tears after a little hum. “I want Mommy! I don’t want to be separated from her! I want to sleep with her!” Her face was flushed as grievance overwhelmed her. Liam hugged her, but she cried even louder. Odell got up to her and wanted to carry her into his arms. However, the little girl clung to her brother and refused to let Odell touch her. She even said, “I don’t want you, you big baddie. I want Mommy, I want Mommy!” She cried louder and louder as she threw a temper. Odell responded with a grim look. He had brought Isabel back for quite a while now, and this might be the first time he was seeing her throw a tantrum. He intuitively assumed that it was that woman who made his daughter do this. Nevertheless, he suppressed his emotions and picked Isabel up into his arms. The little girl kept punching him and resisted his hug. “Okay, okay, I’ll go talk to her tomorrow. If you keep crying, I won’t go,” Odell said.Isabel went qui

As far as she could remember, she had not done anything to make him mad recently. “What is this about, Odell?” He stared at her and said, “I heard from Isabel and Liam that you are moving?” Sylvia was surprised. “How did they find out?” She was only going to tell them after she moved. Odell scoffed. “You were the one who tell them, didn't you?” Sylvia was confused. “Why would I tell them that I’m moving?” They were kids, and moving was supposed to be an adult problem, so why would she tell them? Odell squinted. “You really didn’t tell them?” Sylvia stared right back into his eyes and confidently said, “Of course not.” He tightened his lips and the expression on his face turned cold. Even the air around him fell colder than usual. Sylvia had goosebumps from his stare. She then asked, “Odell, can you not look at me like that? What is it that you want to talk about?” Odell finally moved his thin lips. “After they knew you were moving, they threw a tantrum at me bec

Sylvia awkwardly pouted. Odell noticed the slight disappointment in her, and it curved his lips into a grin. A moment later, “If you don’t let go of me, I’ll cut your hands off.” Sylvia was out of options since he made himself clear, thus she was forced to let go of him. Odell glared at her one last time before leaving. She watched him leave as she cursed secretly, ‘Crazy bastard.’ She had said there was nothing between her and Tristan, but he did not believe her and refused to let her see the kids. After that, she said she was dating Tristan and he got even angrier; he also refused to let her see the kids. If he was not the epitome crazy, who else was? …Sylvia returned to her new house. She helped Aunt Tonya clean up the place first before she headed to Carter Residence. She wanted to see Isabel and Liam, but the bodyguards stopped her outside. “I want to see Madam Carter,” she said. The bodyguard said expressionlessly, “Master Carter made it clear that even Ma

Madam Carter had enough of Isabel and Liam crying for their mother while they still tried to give her massages. She called Ben and Jacob over. “Bring Isabel and Liam to Sylvia.” Ben and Jacob exchanged a look. Ben then said, “Madam, Master Odell made it explicitly clear that Ms. Ross is not to meet the two of them.” Madam Carter laughed. “He said Sylvia cannot pick them up from kindergarten and cannot come near to the house, but he didn't say they can't go meet her.” She was right, but Odell had looked thunderously scary when he gave the order. If he found out, the bodyguards would still be fired. Ben and Jacob once again found themselves in a difficult position. Isabel blinked and thought of something. She pouted and leaned beside Madam Carter. “Great-grandma, I miss Mommy so much that I couldn’t sleep last night.” Madam Carter almost melted because of her cute googly eyes. She hugged the little girl and said to Ben and Jacob, “If Odell asks, you just tell him I told y
