Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1338

Chapter 1338 Odell took two large gulps of tea and swallowed his bitterness along with the tea.

Meanwhile , Madam Carter overheard Sylvia‘s voice on the phone and joined in on the conversation. “Sylvia, you won‘t believe how well Liam is doing at school. Isabel has been telling me that he always gets first place in every exam and competition he participates in. There have been several other schools in the district trying to get Liam to transfer over to their school. He‘s very popular.” Odell felt his hand stiffening around the cup yet again.

What? Why was this the first time he had heard about any of this at all?

Sylvia smiled and answered jubilantly, “Grandma, I got a call from Liam‘s teacher two days ago as well. They‘re telling me they want Liam to skip a grade.” Madam Carter remarked with a proud smile, “That‘s our boy Liam.”

Sylvia echoed the same sentiment with a bright smile.“ Certainly.”

Flint chịmed in, “Hurray, that‘s my brother!”

They continued chatting for quite some time before they finally wrapped up the call.

Madam Carter was getting tired and went back to her room.

Isabel put away her phone. Then she took Flint and proceeded to head upstairs.

Liam followed after them.

Thump!

Odell clapped his cup against the surface of the table and called out after them, “Stop.”

The three children quickly halted and turned back to look at him.

Flint, who was held in the arms of his sister, asked in a curious tone, “Daddy, who are you talking to?” Odell fixed his eyes on Liam. “Liam, you stay here. Both of you, go upstairs.”

Flint answered, “Okay, okay.”

With that, he headed upstairs with Isabel.

Liam turned to Odell and asked unflinchingly , “What‘s the matter?”

Odell asked sharply, “Why didn‘t you tell me about what you have been up to at school?”

Liam responded with another question instead, “A lot of things are going on at school at the moment. Which one are you referring to specifically?” A gloomy look appeared on Odell‘s face. “About your getting first place in the math competition as well as the teachers wanting you to skip a grade.”

“The competition results were just announced today. The teachers already told me about letting me skip a grade a long time ago but I never saw you at home around that time because you were busy with work. How am I supposed to tell you if I never see you?” Liam answered without the slightest tinge of reservation.

Odell felt his voice caught in his throat.

After an uncomfortable pause, he cleared his throat and stated in a somber voice, “I won‘t be so occupied with work from here on. One way or another, you can always give me a call and talk to me even if I‘m busy with work. I‘m your father, you can feel free to tell me about what‘s going on with you, whatever it may be. Do you understand?”
