Chapter 1270 “Probably not. Look after the kids and make sure they sleep early. You should sleep early as well.”
Odell pulled a face and stayed silent.
Sylvia bent over and planted a kiss on his lips, then she asked, “Did you hear me?”
He smiled softly. “I got it. Don‘t worry.”
She then exchanged a few words with the children before heading out.
She had only just left the house when Odell turned to the children and commanded sternly, “Go back to your room.
Isabel pouted and complained , “It‘s only eight o‘clock!”
It was nowhere near bedtime yet.
Odell approached her and effortlessly picked her up in one hand, then he carried Flint, who was rolling around on the floor. At last, he turned to Liam and asked in an authoritative voice, “Liam?” Liam closed the book he was reading. “Yeah.”
With that, all three children were escorted into their room.
After shutting the door, he instructed Aunt Tonya, “Aunt Tonya, I have something I need to deal with, so I‘ll leave the children to you.”
Aunt Tonya smiled. “Alright, got it. I‘ll take good care of them.”
Odell nodded, then he grabbed his coat and headed out.
There was an important event going on at the company tonight. He had originally informed his staff that he was not attending because he wanted to spend time with Sylvia and the children at home since it was the weekend. Now that Sylvia had left, he figured there was no point staying at home by himself, so he might as well go to the event and mingle around.
The night was quiet.
Next to him, Peter asked in a voice filled equally with concern and perplexion, “Why did Mrs. Carter leave in such a hurry after only just arriving?” “Maybe something came up at home.” John was just as puzzled by this strange behavior. He was just about to march up to her to confront her and make her bring him
to see Sherry.
Peter asked again, “Sir, what should we do now?”
John glanced at the confinement center. At the entrance were two security guards with devices that would immediately alert the police at just one click of a button.
Since it was nighttime, there must be more security guards inside , thus trying to force his way inside was a reckless and suicidal idea.
After a long silence, he decided , “Keep an eye out. We‘ll decide our next move when the sun comes up.”
“Got it.”
Meanwhile, in Sherry‘s ward in the confinement center, she had just fed Caprice when the phone rang.
