Chapter 74
Chapter 74 Sylvia sized him up.
He wore a white shirt and long pants coupled with a pair of clean leather shoes. Each piece of his outfit screamed luxury. In addition to that lair skin of his, nothing on him showed signs that he could do laborious work.
Sylvia decided to be frank with him, “No thanks, you will only give me more trouble than actually helping”
Tristan’s smile froze.
It was then that the moving company’s truck arrived.
Sylvia did not want to talk to him anymore. After loading the things onto the truck, Sylvia brought Aunt Tonya to the new house.
Tristan got into his own car and followed the truck.
Twenty minutes later, Sylvia arrived at hier new house with the moving company.
The new house was a fully furnished two-story mansion equipped with a spacious courtyard. Just when Sylvia wanted to move her things inside, Tristan came up behind her and said, ” This is a lovely house.”
After spending that much on rent, she ought to make sure it was nice.
Sylvia did not answer and simply moved her things inside.
Tristan also helped wherever he could.
When they were almost done, it was late in the afternoon.
It was almost time to pick Isabel and Liam up from kindergarten, so Sylvia headed to the gate.
“Are you going to pick up your kids? I’m free, I can go with you,” Tristan asked.
Sylvia wanted to stop him, but before she could, her phone rang.
It was from Odell
Curious, she answered the phone. “Odell? What is it?”
Odell’s charming voice came through the phone. “You don’t need to pick Isabel and Liam from kindergarten I’m sending Ben and Jacob over.”
Sylvia frowned “Why?”
“I have something to discuss with you. Come and meet me.”
She had no idea why he would want a meeting “What is this about?”
“I’ll be waiting for you at the coffee shop at 35, Old District Street.”
The call then went silent, Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Given his temper, she thought he had simply hung up on her. Sylvia grunted and pocketed her phone.
Tristan came over. “Is it Odell?” “Yeah. Thank you for helping me move, Tristan. I’ll buy you lunch another day,” she said.
Tristan smiled. “I said there’s no need for courtesy between us.”
Sylvia already told him what she wanted to say, and she did not have the time to further explain herself.
Odell must want to meet her because of the kids, so she had to go right away.
“I have to go out for a while. Why don’t you go home first?”
Sylvia then got into her own car.
Tristan noticed the urgency on her face and did not say anything.
At the same time, the man, who was waiting at the coffee shop, heard the conversation through his phone, and a grim expression shadowed his features. Move? Helping her move? She got Tristan to help her move?
Old District Street was in a corner of the Old District.
It only took a ten-minute drive for Sylvia to arrive at the retro coffee shop.
Judging by the looks of it, the man must have booked out the place.
Odell was the only one in the coffee shop, and he was sitting beside the window. Maybe it was because of the dim interior, Sylvia felt pressured when she walked in. She went to Odell and sat opposite him. He leaned back with his hands crossed. His sitting posture had a sense of laziness to it.
However, his broody expression coupled with his furrowed brows were signs that he was not exactly in a good mood, Sylvia noticed him staring at her from the moment she arrived, which gave her chills.
