Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 48

Chapter 48

After a while, Isabel finally got tired and surrendered with her hands up.

Sylvia caught up to her and picked her up in her arms. She mischievously dipped paint onto the tip of Isabel's nose.

Isabel chuckled as she panted.

Sylvia looked at her daughter's messy but adorable face, and it made her laugh as well. They were so carried away by their laughter that they completely forgot about Odell beside them.

Odell watched for a while before he had to awkwardly clear his throat.

Immediately, Sylvia recovered and picked Isabel up.

Isabel was unhappy that their fun was interrupted. In Sylvia's embrace, she crossed her arms and pointed at Odell. “Big baddie, why did you cough?”

Since she was in her mother’s arms, she was almost at Odell’s eye level which granted her an intimidating presence.

Odell raised a brow. He wanted to take Isabel from Sylvia's arms, but then Isabel reached out to him and moved her hand over his face.

Before he knew it, his face was smeared with colorful paint as well.

Odell was stunned.

Isabel chuckled mischievously as her evil deed succeeded

Sylvia quickly carried her away from her father. She held her laughter back and said to Odell, Odell, she’s just playing with you. Don't be mad at her.”

Odell gave her a cold glance.

Did he look like a grumpy person?

He walked closer to them.

Isabel thought he was going to punish her, so she shrunk and hugged her mother even tighter. Sylvia also nervously moved backward.

Odell frowned. He just wanted to carry Isabel. However, before he could put his thought into words, his phone in his pocket rang. He pulled it out and answered it.

Sylvia was only a few steps away, so she was able to have a glimpse at the caller ID-Tara.

Tara said something to him on the phone which put a frown and a sense of worry on his face. He then said, “Stay at home. I'll go to your place later.”

Sylvia's interested gaze dimmed.

Maybe because he spent most of the day accompanying her and the kids, she almost forgot that he cared about Tara the most.

After Odell hung up the phone, Sylvia seized the chance and said, “Odell, you can go if you are busy. I'll play with them here for a little longer.”

Odell had a glance at her. “We'll go back now.”

He sounded firm and indubitable. He then went over to the doodling area and brought Liam out. Sylvia caressed Isabel's head and comforted her before following him out.

Fortunately, both Isabel and Liam were already exhausted from all the fun. The two of them fell asleep right after they got into the car.

The journey was a silent one.

Soon, the car arrived at the Carters’ mansion.

Odell carried Liam out of the car while Sylvia followed with Isabel in her arms.

Madam Carter was in the living room. When she saw them come back together with paint on their faces, she bolted up in delight. Alas, before she could be any happier, Odell said,” Grandmother, I'm going out. I'm not coming back for dinner later.” He put the sleeping Liam on the couch before he had a glance at Sylvia and left the house. He left in a hurry, making it rather obvious that he was going to Tara's place.
