Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Sylvia came out from behind the curtains and went to his side. 

She grabbed his hand again and said seriously, “Thomas, please leave with me now. Believe me, I can get you out of here.” Calmly, he stared into her eyes and asked, “Then after that, what next?” “I’ll take you away from Westchester. As long as you leave the city, Odell won’t be able to lay his hands on you anymore.” “What about you? Will you be leaving with me?” 

Sylvia was stunned. She began to avoid his scorching gaze and said in a small voice, “I can’t leave. I have to be here to take care of Isabel and Liam.” 

“Then leaving does not mean anything to me,” Thomas said with a chuckle. “I’d rather be locked up here by Odell. At least I’d still be able to see you.” 

“No! Odell is unpredictable, he might break your legs tomorrow or beat you up the day after.” 

“As long as I can see you, I don’t mind being crippled,” he said to her with a gentle smile. Sylvia felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Him trying to console her only made her feel worse. “Thomas, it’s not worth it. I’m not worth going through all of this. It’s more important for you to take care of yourself.” “To me, being with you is the most important thing.” 

For a moment, Sylvia choked up. It was true that he had promised to be with him but she could not just leave her kids because of him either. 

As she pondered the quandary she was in, he continued, “Sylvia, why don’t you bring Aunt Tonya, Isabel and Liam along and we could all leave this place together?”
