Chapter 244 Isabel cried, “Liam, let me win!” A moment later, a victory chime sounded from the game. Isabel shouted happily, “Thanks, Liam!” Odell‘s eyes softened slightly, and he raised his hand to push the door open.
The two little ones were sitting cross–legged on the floor, each holding a gamepad. Across the room hung a large screen that was showcasing a large–scale online racing game
The two little ones froze when they saw him enter.
Odell frowned and said in a low voice, “Put the game away and go to sleep.”
Liam went, “Okay.”
Isabel obviously had not had enough and pouted.
However, she knew that she was no match for him, so she obediently gave the gamepad to her brother and let him put it away.
Soon, they climbed into bed.
Odell did not leave. He sat on the chair next to their bed and casually opened a storybook.
Isabel pouted. “Baddie, I don‘t wanna hear a bedtime story from you.”
Odell gave her a cold look.
Isabel immediately hid behind Liam.
He pursed his lips and put the storybook down.
Then, he asked, “What did you two do today?”
Liam replied, “We spent the day with Mom and came back at night, ate dinner, and played games.”
Odell‘s eyes flickered slightly, and he asked without changing his expression, “What did you do with your mom during the day?”
When Isabel heard her mother being mentioned, she became energetic and said, “Mommy drew a lot of pictures with us. They were really pretty!”
Odell asked, “What did your mom draw with you?” Isabel snorted through her nose and said provocatively, “I‘m not telling you!”
He was not angry either and looked at her chubby little face, saying calmly, “Get down and go to sleep right now, or I‘ll bring you back to my room to sleep.” Isabel instantly lay down behind Liam, her little hand wrapped tightly around her brother, afraid of being taken away by Odell.
Odell smiled and looked at Liam, who still had his eyes open, and said, “Close your eyes and go to sleep.” Liam looked at him for a few more seconds before closing his eyes. After a while, when they probably had fallen asleep, Odell stood up and turned off the lights before going out, closing the door behind him. The room was quiet for a while. “Isabel,” Liam called softly. Isabel was sleeping and answered in a daze, “Hm?” Liam asked, “Do you think Dad is acting strange?” “Isn‘t he always like that?” Liam thought for a while and said, “He mentioned Mom today.”
What answered him was the sound of Isabel‘s snores.
However, Liam could not sleep. He thought again of how Odell took advantage of Sylvia sleeping to get very close to her in Glanchester City. There was also the scene where Odell pressed Sylvia to the ground in the forest park He felt that there was something not quite right.
