Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

Tara immediately fell into his arms and cried, “Thank you, Odell. I will do my best to get them to open up to me.” 

“Hmm.” Odell glanced in the direction of the adults-only designated area. “Let’s head over there and get some rest.” 

“Okay.” Tara broke into a crooked smile when he was not looking. 

Even Sylvia did not stand a chance against her. These two brats were not going to get the better of her. 

Meanwhile, in the Old District where Sylvia resided. “Achoo!” Sylvia, who was painting in the yard, suddenly sneezed Aunt Tonya asked her, “Sylvia, did you catch a cold?” “Aunt Tonya, I’m fine.” 

Sylvia was thrown off by the sudden sneeze. She had been sitting in the sun the entire time to the point where her palms were sweating. There was no chance of her catching a cold like this. 

Was someone speaking ill of her behind her back? Sylvia picked up her phone. Liam had messaged her a few minutes ago. He sent several pictures of him and his sister playing in a fairytale theme park. Isabel was completely focused on playing and was smiling from ear to ear. 

She only saw the theme park staff around them while both Odell and Tara were missing from the picture. 

Sylvia was especially curious about this. 

Tara claimed that she wanted to play with the children, but chances were that she was still upset with the kids. It was not surprising that she ended up not spending time with the children at all. 

Odell must have been keeping her company as usual. 

Sylvia texted a reply to Liam. “Liam, both of you have fun, but make sure to be careful.” 

Liam replied promptly, “Alright, I’ll keep an eye on Sister.” 

Sylvia was charmed by his sense of responsibility, but she also wanted him to have a good time the way children his age should. She replied, “You make sure you have fun too. Don’t just focus on your sister.” 

“Ok, ok.” With that, Sylvia put away her phone. 

Several hours later, after the two had enough of games in the theme park, they wandered around the park, holding hands the entire time. Nearby, Tara noticed them. She swiped a look at Odell who was occupied on his phone. She decided to purchase two hot drinks and go up to Isabel and Liam. Both Liam and Isabel were visibly displeased at the sight of her. Tara greeted them with a warm smile nevertheless. “Isabel, Liam, you two must be thirsty. Here, have something to drink.” She handed them the drinks she bought for them. Liam felt something was off and did not reciprocate. Isabel was very thirsty, and she could smell the wonderful aroma of fruit inside the cup Tara carried. She pondered for a moment and decided to reach for the cup. Something in Tara’s eyes glinted. She suddenly angled her hand ever so slightly and poured the burning hot water inside the cup in Isabel’s direction. The water caught the fingers of the little girl who was just reaching for the cup. She winced in pain and failed to grab the cup, immediately sending it tumbling onto the ground. 

The scalding liquid inside the cup splashed in every direction, splattering across both Isabel and Tara’s feet.
