Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

After Sylvia returned home, she got a fever that night. 

Fortunately, it was a Friday night, so she did not have to work the next day or fetch the kids. 

She took some medicine and lay down for most of the day for the fever to fade before she got up and packed for the Carters’ again. 

Odell was not home today. 

The butler went in with the announcement of her arrival, and Isabel and Liam came out running. 

Isabel jumped into her arms whereas Liam quietly held her hand: 

The butler came back out with a smile and said, “Ms. Ross, Madam Carter said you can just come in to visit the kids next time. You don’t need to ask for her permission.” 

Sylvia simply smiled. “Okay.” 

She carried Isabel and held Liam’s hand into the house. 

Inside the living room, Madam Carter welcomed her with a warm smile and waved at her. “Syl, come over here and let me have a good look at you.” 

Sylvia carried her kids to the couch and sat down beside Madam Carter who sized her up from head to toe. 

“A little thinner than before, looking a little worn down… Are you doing okay?” Madam Carter asked with furrowed brows. 

Sylvia answered immediately, “Grandmother, I’m actually doing well. I look a little tired maybe because I had a fever yesterday due to the rain, but I’m better now.” 

Madam Carter sighed a breath of relief. “That’s good to know.” 

Then, Isabel asked, “Mommy, weren’t you at home last night. How did you catch a cold?” 

“Did you go out after sending me and sister home?” Liam also asked. 

Sylvia blinked awkwardly and said, “Yeah, I had something to do.” 

Liam furrowed his adorable brows. “Remember to wear a jacket next time when you go out.” 

Sylvia felt warmth in her heart. “Okay, I’ll remember.” 

Isabel crawled into her arms and nuzzled her forehead against her mother’s. After making sure there was no more fever, she sat back down. 

Sylvia caressed her head with a smile. 

Madam Carter suddenly felt sentimental watching the scene. She said to Sylvia, “Syl, tell me how you have been for the past three years.” 

Sylvia smiled. “Okay.” 

She picked some interesting topics and chatted with Madam Carter. 

It might have been three years, but Madam Carter remained the kind old lady that treated her with care and warmth. 

Meanwhile, Isabel and Lim listened to her stories like two little curious kittens.
