Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351

Sylvia went inside after that. The room was dimly lit, and the stench of alcohol in the air stung the nostrils. 

Right after Sylvia came in, she saw Edmund dozing off on the couch. He wore a floral shirt that was unbuttoned down to his chest, revealing his broad muscles. The stubble around his chin was apparent while even his messy hair was longer. He looked severely disheartened. 

Sylvia frowned and called out to him. “Edmund.” 

Edmund’s eyeballs shifted before he opened his eyes. 

“Syl?” He bolted up and looked at her in awe. 

Sylvia’s brows remained furrowed. “I heard Sherry said you’ve been drinking here. What happened?” 

Edmund put the bottle of whiskey that he had been holding on onto the table. He hurriedly tidied his clothes and hair before he smiled at her. “I’m fine. I’m just bored, so I came to have some fun.” 

“Is it because of me?” Sylvia asked. 

Edmund’s face fell, his lips tightening. “Edmund, I’ve remarried Odell. It’s not worth it anymore. Don’t do this because of me.” 

He looked away with a bitter scowl and said, “It’s not because of you.” 

“Then, you shouldn’t drink your life away here. Are you really going to ignore your men outside? They follow you because they want to do business with you, but here you are being irresponsible.” 

Edmund frowned. A hint of annoyance started showing on his face. “It’s none of your business. I’ll deal with it.” 

“Okay. Then, I’m leaving.” 

Sylvia already said what she wanted to say, so it was time for her to leave. 

“Wait!” Edmund held her back. 

Sylvia turned around and saw him on his feet. 

He tried approaching Sylvia but stopped when he was a meter away from her. Despite really wanting to be closer, he held the urge back. He stared at her and said, “Syl, tell me, how have you been lately?” 

Sylvia looked into his eyes and said, “I’m fine. Odell is treating me well.” 

Edmund frowned. “He doesn’t abuse you?” “He did during our first marriage, but this time, he really doesn’t abuse or bully me. I have also decided to do my best to spend the rest of my days with him.” Edmund lowered his head in disappointment. “Okay, nice to know.” 

In that dim room, when he looked down, Sylvia could not quite capture the expression on his face. All she heard was loneliness in his words. 

Some thoughts later, she said, “Edmund, thank you for wliat you’ve done for me. I appreciate it. I really hope you can do better in the future. I don’t want to see you keep wasting your life 

away.”
