Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748

After dinner, Sylvia grabbed a chair and sat by the wall where she continued to listen to any form of movements on the other side.

Even after several hours had passed, she heard nothing remotely resembling Isabel and Liam chattering on the other side.

It was Sunday. Were they not at home?

After she pondered for a while, she reluctantly grabbed her phone and selected Odell’s contact.

The end result was that she was not exactly fond of Lily, but she was not mean toward her either.

That was well enough. Sylvia doubted that Lily would be intentionally cruel toward the children once she married Odell.

Lily expressed with a polite smile, “No need to thank me. I’m just glad you two had a great time. That way, I won’t feel like I let your father down.”

Neither Isabel nor Liam made a response.
