Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787

“Oh, okay. Hold on, I’ll be right out.” 

Sylvia then hung up the phone. 

She then looked at Isabel and Liam. 

The girl pouted and said, “Mommy, are you leaving now?” 

Sylvia hummed in reply and stroked the little girl’s head. She then looked at Odell. 

Odell was still reading his book on the couch but he was looking even grimmer than before the phone call. 

Sylvia was some distance away from him, so she did not notice the change of expression on his face. She said, “ Odell, I have to go out for a while.” Odell looked at her. “What else is more important than accompanying your kids?” 

His voice was cold and he sounded slightly unhappy. 

Sylvia explained, “I’ve promised President Dendro that I would attend Master Springsteen’s event. They are already outside the gate so I have to go.” 

An event hosted by Master Springsteen? It had to be related to art. 

It was true that Sylvia had to reconnect with the outside world, so Odell approved her outing. 

The cold look on his face eased as he said, “Fine. Go.” 

Sylvia felt relieved upon hearing his approval. She then kissed her kids on the cheeks before walking out of the door. 

Shortly after she left, Odell’s phone rang. 

Lily was calling. 

His brows furrowed to express his annoyance but he answered the call nonetheless. 

Lily’s soft voice came through the phone. “Master Carter, are you free later?” 

“No,” he said. 

Lily awkwardly froze for a moment before she forced a smile and said, “I haven’t even told you what this is about yet. Why don’t you hear me out first before rejecting me?” 

“What is it then?” 

“Grandfather organized an art event and invited a lot of artists and collectors. Would you be interested in dropping by?” His gaze shifted. “The event organized by Master Springsteen? Is it today?” 

“Yes. It’ll be starting in 30 minutes at the hotel ballroom near the academy.” 

“Okay, I’ll be there.” 

The call ended. 

He got up and shot a gaze at Liam. “I’m going out. You stay home with your sister, do you hear me?”. 

Liam asked, “Where are you going? Are you going to meet Mommy?” Odell gave the boy a sidelong glance and said, “Just take care of your sister and yourself.” 

Liam’s gaze shifted and hummed in reply. 

Odell then retrieved his jacket from the side of the door and left the house. 

Meanwhile, at Springsteen’s place, an MPV drove out through the mansion’s gate. 

Lily and Madam Springsteen sat beside each other. Both of them had fur wraps around their shoulders. 

Lily had frowned after Odell had hung up on her.
