Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719

Odell’s expression softened, but his voice remained cold.“ It’s okay. You didn’t do it intentionally, Ms. Springsteen. However, I’m not a good match for you. If Madam Springsteen asks about us again, you can just tell her that I’m not interested in women at the moment.”

For a few moments, Lily was at a loss for words but then she recovered and said, “Okay, I understand. I’m truly sorry about this incident.”

Odell did not say anything else and hung up the phone. He glanced at Isabel, who was still sleeping soundly, and the cold expression on his face eased.

At the Springsteen family’s home. Lily stared at the phone screen that had gone dark and frowned unhappily. That man truly did not know how to treat a woman with tenderness.

Madam Springsteen had been sitting by Lily’s side throughout the call. Seeing that Lily had put away her phone, she asked, “Lily, how was it? What did Young Master Carter say? Did he believe you?”

“He most probably did, but the tone of his voice was not very nice so he must’ve been quite angry.”

“It’s okay. He’s angry at Ramona for going to his home and making that rude little girl cry, not you.”

She had a point there. Lily had already given an explanation and pushed the responsibility off herself. Odell would surely not be mad at her.

Besides, his two kids already knew that he and his ex wife had gotten a divorce. Her goal had been achieved.

Lily’s expression changed, but a smirk soon appeared on her face again.

Having received Odell’s warning , Ramona did not come back to look for the children for some time afterward.

The two children had become quieter than before. Odell did not feel at ease leaving them at home so he would take them to the company from time to time. When the summer break ended and school started again, he sent the children to preschool.

The contract for the joint project with Springsteen Corporation had also been signed and preparations were underway to start the project.

There was a regular pattern to Odell’s everyday life. First, he would send the two children to preschool before going

to the company. He would then keep busy until late at night. Occasionally, he would pick the kids up from preschool when he got off work early. He would also make an effort to keep his weekends free for them.

The days passed quickly and soon, three months went by in the blink of an eye. The temperature dropped, and the weather turned cold. Winter arrived in Westchester City. There was still no news about that woman.

Knock knock

The sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard coming from outside the office.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the man concealed the darkness in his gaze. He extinguished the cigarette and threw it inside the ashtray.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open and Cliff entered with a document.

“Young Master Carter, this is the document that you wanted.”
