Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571

“Who are you talking to?” All of a sudden, the man’s gruff voice came from above her. 

Startled, Sylvia vented her annoyance at him. “It’s none of your business.” 

The moment the words escaped her mouth, she realized she was not speaking in the right tone. She immediately looked at Isabel and saw the girl snoozing on the couch. Sylvia had a glance at the boy beside her. 

The boy was not asleep but he was carried away by the book, seemingly uninterested in his parents’ conversation. 

She sighed a breath of relief. 

Without further concealing her feelings, she glared at Odell. 

Odell was looking at her with a bewitching grin. 

Sylvia wished she could scold him out loud but she had to hold back urge and chose to whisper her reminder instead, “It’s getting late. You should go back and rest.” 

“Good night.” 

The man then strode out of the house without pause. 

Sylva stared at his figure as he left her sight. Her brows strangely furrowed. 

At the end of the day, Odell only came by at night and accompanied Isabel. Other than the one question that he asked, he had no other interaction with Sylvia. 

She started to believe he moved next door to be with the kids, so the suspicion soon escaped her. 

Regardless of the reasons, she never wanted anything to do with him anymore. She raised her hand and patted Liam’s head, and said softly, “Liam, it’s getting late. Time for bed.” “Okay.” Liam obediently closed the book and put it aside. Sylvia smiled and then carried the sleeping Isabel into her arms. She then walked Liam back to their room. 

After Liam fell asleep, Sylvia returned to her own room. 

In the next few days, Sylvia basically spent most of her time at home accompanying the kids. The two little ones would either play at home or run next door to visit Madam Carter. 

At night, Odell would come over for dinner punctually and stayed for a while until Isabel fell asleep Sylvia and Odell were like strangers sharing the same roof. They sat in the living room 

together but there was little to no interaction between them. 

Soon, New Year’s eve arrived. 

Both Aunt Tonya and Sebastian decorated the place early in the morning. Sylvia also put on new clothes for Isabel and Liam to celebrate the New Year’s arrival. She even tied the little girl’s hair into two tiny buns. Liarn continued to read quietly. Although dressed in brand new clothes, it did not diminish his cool presence. 

Isabel was like a puppy out of the cage, running around and jumping up and down cheerfully. With Ben and Jacob watching her, Sylvia was not worried about the girl getting hurt, so she went on to help Aunt Tonya with the decoration. She soon arrived in the living room with the celebratory decorations.
