Chapter 26 Sylvia wrapped herself up with the children for a while. She planted a kiss on both of their cheeks in turn. Similarly, they smothered her with kisses.
It was a particularly endearing scene.
Meanwhile, Odell was left out like a stranger.
Forget about Isabel, even Liam who had been living with him for so long had never had so much physical contact with him. He had never done anything remotely close to asking for hugs, and kisses were never even considered.
Odell became more annoyed the longer he looked at them. He coughed drily, filled with irritation.
Sylvia finally untangled herself from them.
Still, Isabel and Liam kept holding her hands.
Isabel turned up to her and declared, “Mommy, don’t be afraid of him. Brother and I will protect you!” “Yes, we have some dirt on him,” Liam agreed. Sylvia did not know what to say. “Uh…”
She looked at Odell.
As Odell twitched his lips and seemed disgruntled, she had to resist the urge to laugh at his present situation.
Isabel and Liam brought her to the couch to sit.
Liam’said to the butler, “Uncle Maxworth, could you tell the kitchen hands to prepare some fruits for us?”
