Chapter 465
Odell was in the other room and had no idea that his children were plotting to locate their mother.
He stood in front of the balcony with the windows opened. The night breeze blew against his towering figure.
He was leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth while toying with a wooden tortoise in his hand. The wooden tortoise’s edges had been filed down by the repeated caresses, but the words carved on its stomach was still visible.
As he stared at the little tortoise with a deep gaze, his mind uncontrollably played the scenes of that woman.
Her arrogance, the injustice to her, and the blank expression that she wore…everything was being replayed in his mind. From the moment he confirmed his feelings for her to the moment she jumped into the lake, every expression on her face flashed in his mind.
He still failed to understand why would the woman, being the shameless person who cared a lot about the kids, would have jumped into the lake.
If he could start over, he would not have broken her leg anymore. As long as she acknowledged her mistake and promised to live a peaceful life with him, he could forget about her affair with Edmund and even his grandmother’s incident.
All of a sudden, a strong gust blew.
It blew the cloud of smoke away and cleared his vision together with his thoughts.
It had been four months, four whole months since she had fallen into the lake.
If she were alive, she would have come back for the kids, but she was nowhere to be found. There was not even a trace that she was alive.
‘Is she really dead?’
After that, he tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and uncorked the whiskey on the table. He swigged straight from the bottle instead of pouring it into a glass.
The next day, Isabel and Liam got up as usual, but no matter what Aunt Tonya and Sebastian said, they refused to eat. They simply grabbed a few bites and that was it.
Aunt Tonya even tried to coax them with their favorite snacks, but it was useless. Not only Liam, but even the gluttonous Isabel also refused to look at the snacks.
In the afternoon, Sebastian told the kitchen to prepare their favorite food and they still refused to eat.
