Chapter 16 Odell finally let go with a smug expression when he saw Sylvia becoming distressed. Meanwhile, Sylvia ground her teeth and swallowed her resentment.
“What the hell are you doing sneaking around here?” Odell questioned her. Sylvia answered calmly, “I miss the boy and want to see him.” Odell snorted. “Well, isn’t that nice?” He then got up and instructed the bodyguards, “Take her to my car.” Sylvia’s face changed as she asked, “Odell, why are you taking me to your car? Are you going to do something to your dear ex-wife?”
She said this with a sly, seductive wink.
Looking at her delicate and fair face, one was reminded of just how charming she was. “You think too highly of yourself,” Odell replied stonily. “Then, why are you bringing me to your car all tied up?”
“I can do whatever I want.”
“So, are you saying that you’re trying to take advantage of me?” Sylvia said with a sigh as if she was deeply disappointed by how callous he was. Odell’s face turned stormy. “Shut your trap right now!”
“Alright, it’s not like I can resist since you’re taking me hostage anyway,” Sylvia remarked with a nonchalant shrug.
Odell struggled to contain the words he wanted to spit into her face.
After that, he bent down in front of her until their faces were inches apart. The glaring daggers in his eyes seemed to slice through her. He declared icily, “I have zero interest in you. Keep messing around and I’ll slice your tongue off.”
Sylvia pulled away from him.
She could not let him keep having his way with her.
Having to deal with him was not the main concern here. She was thinking about Isabel who was at home waiting for news of Liam.
She could not have Isabel worrying about her, so she composed herself quickly and her eyes were colored with humor as she baited him. “I don’t believe you.”
Odell scowled.
“I’ll believe you if you let me go,” Sylvia continued.
Odell was taken aback.
After a few seconds of silence, he began to grin. His smile was bewitching and seemed to carry a hidden meaning
Sylvia’s first instinct was to wrest herself away again.
He immediately grabbed her face and echoed the same thing she had said to him some time ago, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not.”
Sylvia felt a lump in her throat while the smile disappeared from her face. She asked boldly,” Can’t I just see the boy?”
“No.”
“I’m Liam’s mother.”
“He doesn’t need a mother like you.”
His voice was toneless and void of emotions.
Sylvia felt something tugging at her heart.
Liam didn’t need a mother like her? How was it that Odell thought so lowly of her?
Sylvia turned her head away, feeling so infuriated that she refused to even look at him.
Odell observed the way she turned away and was momentarily baffled by this display.
How dare this woman have the audacity to disrespect him like this?! He immediately shouted to the bodyguard, “Take her to my car right this moment!”
“Right away, sir!”
