Chapter 55
Tara seemed very moved by the gesture. Odell urged her on, “Don’t wait. Hurry up and go to the hospital.” “Okay.” Tara got into a car driven by one of the staff.
At the same time, Odell carried Isabel in his arms and led Liam to the exit.
Tara, who was going in the other direction, suddenly snapped around to glance at them. There was still a tint of disdain in her eyes, but it was overshadowed by general jubilation. Although she failed to drive a wedge between Odell and Isabel this time, she reaped some unexpected fruits as well.
There was not a soul in the city who did not know who Odell was. The problem was he was never fond of these social events and banquets. No matter how much she pleaded with him in the past, he always refused to humor her.
But today, he was the one who volunteered to go with her.
Most of the participants at the ball were the bigwigs of the art industry of the city.
Although she had also made a name for herself, she was still nothing compared to the top dogs. If Odell attended the event with her, she would be the star of the night!
The thought of people gazing at her with awe and admiration put her in a joyful mood as she looked forward to the night.
Shortly after that, Odell took the children back to the car.
However, the two were still upset with him and refused to appease him.
“Isabel.” Odell tried to get through to Isabel. Isabel turned her head the other way, so he could only see the back of her head. Odell pursed his lips and told her, “I’m very sorry for misunderstanding you. It was
my fault.” Isabel was surprised.
The jerk was apologizing to her?
She looked back at him to see Odell smiling at her. He had always been handsome, especially when he smiled.
Isabel snorted, “I don’t accept your apology.”
“What can I do to make you forgive me?” Odell asked tenderly.
“Only if you break up with the ugly lady.”
Odell said with a sunken look, “That’s not gonna be possible.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Then, there’s nothing left to say.” Isabel turned her head away again and folded her arms across her chest the way an adult would.
Odell sighed tiredly
At this moment, Liam suddenly spoke up, “She did it on purpose.”
“Did what on purpose?” Odell asked with suspicion.
“She got us something hot on purpose because she knew that Isabel would drop the cup.”
Odell was startled by this accusation.
Upon hearing this, Isabel thought of certain plot lines she saw on TV and noted the distinct similarity. She immediately cried out, “Yes, she must have done it on purpose. She did it because she wanted to hurt
me, then she blamed me for burning her feet!”
Odell frowned.
He felt that the two of them were looking too much into it.
“She won’t do something like that. You two have misunderstood her,” he retorted.
Liam regarded him with a cold look and stayed quiet.
Isabel snorted grumpily and turned away again, leaving him to stare at the back of her head.
Odell pursed his lips and sighed. Their dislike of Tara was far greater than he initially expected. It was going to take some time to get them to open up.
