Chapter 776
A day later.
At the old Carter Residence.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Sylvia said goodbye to the children just like the day before, then headed for the door.
Isabel and Liam both followed her to see her off.
Unexpectedly, before she could walk out of the living room, the tall figure of a man came up to her.
He wore a black suit topped with a long coat. His figure was straight and strong, and his appearance was as handsome as ever. However, the cold aura emanating from his body intimidated people from approaching him. Sylvia stopped and took the initiative to smile at him.
Odell looked at her coldly. “Have they finished their homework today?”
She had not expected him to ask this question, so she momentarily froze before replying, “Yes.”
“Isabel finished hers too?” “Yes, it’s finished.”
“Did she do it by herself?”
Sylvia hesitated and said, “Liam helped her do it.”
Isabel and Liam were standing right behind them and raised their little round faces with dumbfounded expressions.
Isabel thought, ‘Hasn’t Liam always done my homework?’
Liam thought, ‘Haven’t I always done Isabel’s homework? Why is Daddy asking when he already knows the answer?’
While they were confusedly pondering his question, Odell’s expression suddenly became more unhappy. “She didn’t do it herself?”
Sylvia did not understand why he was upset, but she said honestly, “No, she didn’t.”
“What kind of mother are you? Is that how you watch her study?” Sylvia was speechless.
Odell looked at her coldly. “Do today’s homework again and watch her as she does it. You can only leave after she’s done.”
Then, without waiting for Sylvia or the two children to react, he simply walked past them to go upstairs.
Sylvia frowned.
Isabel pouted as well.
However, Liam said, “Mommy, you can stay with us for a
little longer now.” Sylvia’s eyes lit up.
Isabel immediately said, “That’s right! Mommy, let’s go back to our room to do our homework!” With her little hand, she dragged Sylvia along and headed back to the room.
Sylvia smiled and went back to the room with the children. However, she could not help but glance in the direction that Odell had left.
‘Was he really angry at me for not watching Isabel complete her homework? Or did he also want me to stay here… longer?
‘No, that can’t be. He’s already engaged. He wouldn’t have those kinds of thoughts about me anymore.’
She quickly dismissed the idea.
The little girl was quite smart, but the difficulty of the homework was obviously higher than what a child of her age would know. Not even Sylvia could understand it, let alone Isabel.
It was Liam who taught her the entire time.
