My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Odell reacted grimly. “Odell, calm down and think about it for a second. You love Tara and you should be with her. You shouldn‘t think about marrying me again,” Sylvia said. She then added in a small voice,” Sailing on two boats is wrong.”

She refused to marry him again or become the third wheel in their relationship.

Odell stared at her deeply. After a long moment of silence, he said, “Tara is important to me but I‘ve already made it clear to her. I will take care of her but not in a romantic way.” Sylvia was shocked. “You broke up with her?” He pursed his lips and wore a vague smile. “Sailing on two boats is wrong.”

Sylvia scoffed awkwardly. She said, “But you spent the whole afternoon with her.” He had to be lying. If he no longer loved Tara, why would he show that much patience with her?

Odell answered, “She overdosed on sleeping pills. If I had not gone over, it might not have ended well for her.”

Sylvia clicked her tongue scornfully. “As expected of her, ruthless as usual.”

Back then, Tara had even been willing to roll down the stairs in her efforts to lose her baby, just so she could separate Sylvia and Odell.

Now, in order to take back her man, she had attempted suicide.

Sylvia began to admire Tara‘s dedication.

Thud.

Odell suddenly flicked her forehead and stared at her coldly. “Do not badmouth her.”

Annoyed, Sylvia argued, “I want to, and I will!”

Odell frowned and shot a stern look at her.

Sylvia chuckled. “Look at you, you still care about her, yet you said that you love me. You are a bad liar.”

Odell furrowed his brows tightly.

He was more certain than ever that it was Sylvia that he had feelings for but he also understood why he cared so much about Tara.

A while later, he said, “Tara is important to me.”

“Then go look for her. Stop forcing yourself onto me!” Sylvia wanted to push him away.

However, Odell grabbed both of her dainty hands and pinned them above her head.

Sylvia was petrified.

Odell finally softened his stern expression after Sylvia had calmed down. He then said, “She accompanied me through many tough times. Even if I don‘t love her anymore, I will make sure she lives a great life.” Sylvia frowned. The tough times that he was referring to was when his stepmother had oppressed him and had almost snatched everything from him. Before he and Sylvia had even gotten married, Tara had already entered his life and tried to win his heart. Therefore, it only made sense that the two had been through a lot.

Unfortunately, it sounded sour in Sylvia‘s ears. She too had liked him since they were young. When they had been married for those two short years, she had tried her best to try to ease things between him and his stepmother as well.

However, all that was in the past now and she no longer wanted to remember them. She said, ” Then you should keep your promise and protect her for the rest of your life, not do this to me.”
