Chapter 739
The silence lasted for several seconds.
Sylvia was the one who spoke first, “I… I just came out to get some fresh air.”
She was insinuating that she was not trying to meet the kids or spy on them either.
Odell ordered with a sharp scowl, “Get back in there.”
Sylvia grimaced.
She did not need him to order her around. She was going to go home anyway.
She had come out in a hurry and forgot to put on a pair of slippers or even a coat at the very least. All she had on were two thin layers of clothing to protect her from the cold.
She did not utter a word, then turned and headed toward the living room.
“Hurry up!” Odell suddenly barked behind her.
His sudden exclamation ended up spooking Sylvia. The soles of her bare feet slipped against the slippery snow. She lost her foothold and felt her body plunging toward the bed of snow.

muscular arm firmly holding on to her.
With such strength, she was pulled back to her feet in an instant.
The inertia drew her backward and plunged her into his muscular chest.
In an instant, she sensed the warm body temperature of Odell enveloping her. She could smell his familiar scent.
She had an impulse to hug him.
However, her rational mind took over and made her draw two steps backward. She apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to fall into your arms.”
Odell’s face darkened.
She kept quiet after that.
She thought that he would inevitably get upset no matter what she said, so it was better for her to never appear in front of him ever again.
She frantically walked into the living room.
Upon entering , she quickened her pace and climbed up the stairs.
Just like that, her clumsy and frantic figure vanished out of sight.
Odell was sitting underneath the morning sun with a thin morning mist surrounding him, but there was a raging

fire burning inside his eyes.
Did she think that he was some sort of beast? That he would eat her alive?
