Chapter 89
Odell looked at her and said, “I’m thirsty.”
“There’s a water dispenser over there. You can get a cup and pour yourself a glass of water.”
Odell did not move and simply stared at her.

Isabel had enough of the awkwardness. She pouted and said, “Big baddie, can’t you move by yourself? Where are your hands and legs?” It was then that Liam got up with his little cup and went over to get some fruit juice. Maybe it was intentional, but he got up slowly, walked over slowly, and got himself more fruit juice slowly. He did everything slower than usual, as if he was trying to show someone how to get a drink Isabel raised a brow and then said to Odell, “Big baddie, if you don’t know how to get yourself a drink, watch and learn.” Odell could not tolerate the scornful remarks anymore. He got up, poured himself a glass of water, and drained it to the last drop. Then, he turned to the kids and stated, “It’s time to go home.”
Isabel grunted. “I’m not full yet!”
Odell saw her tiny bloated stomach. Any more down that throal of hers would make her explode.
He then looked pointedly at Sylvia
She immediately knew what he meant. Both Isabel and Liam had more than enough. She smiled at them and said, “Isabel, Liam, it’s time to go home now. Follow your Daddy home.”
Isabel pouted. “Mommy, I want to sleep with you.”
She had already mentioned she wanted to stay with her mother earlier.
“Me too,” Liam said. Odell reacted grimly. “I’ll count to three.” He sounded stern as he had obviously run out of patience. “We’ll get the chance soon. It’s getting late. Be good kids and go home with your Daddy first,” Sylvia said She gave each of them a kiss on the cheeks. Isabel simply hummed a sulky reply. Liam said, “Mommy, we will see you tomorrow.”
Sylvia was a little surprised. She quickly had a glance at Odell, but he did not say anything except for that glacial look on his face. He somehow had no opinion about them coming over
toπιοπow.
“Okay. What do you guys want to eat tomorrow? I’ll prepare it before you arrive.” Isabel got excited. “I want to eat spaghetti!” Liam parroted, “Me too!” “Great” Sylvia smiled and sent them to the entrance.
Odell tossed the car keys to Jacob and brought the kids back
The two little rascals did not like to talk to him, especially Isabel. She would rather cross her arms than let him hold her hand.
Liam was beside Isabel, and Odell was on their right.
The street lamp casted a long shadow behind them, and from afar, their figures painted a harmonious painting Sylvia was stunned for a moment. When she was pregnant with the two of them, she had fantasized about a scene like this countless times. She had always wanted to see her cute children walking beside their tall father. She had also fantasized about Odell playing around with them.
Three years later, on this particular night, her fantasy somehow came true, but she could no longer feel the happiness anymore. Aunt Tonya suddenly called out to her, “Syl, come in. It’s cold outside.” Sylvia
hummed a reply and went inside. A while after she went inside the house, her phone rang It was from Tristan. It must be about her resignation. A quick thought later, Sylvia answered the phone.
