Chapter 570
The house looked almost the same as hers. The interior and the decoration followed a minimalistic yet
luxurious design style. It did not seem like it had just finished renovation. ‘Did he buy the house fully
furnished?’ Madam Carter’s room was located on the first floor, where it faced the east. When Sylvia
walked into the room, Liam was beside the bed and Isabel was on the bed, blabbering next to Madam
Carter’s ears.
“Great-grandma, Liam and I will be able to come to see you every day. Wakey, wakey…”
The two of them were adorable and obedient.
Sylvia’s gaze shifted. She stood by the door for a while before she went inside.
At night, Sylvia prepared dinner with Aunt Tonya as usual.
Both Isabel and Liam were in the living room.
For some reason, the girl did not come into the kitchen tonight, not even once. She would usually come
in a few times to mess around. Sylvia was not overly bothered by her absence. When dinner was
ready, she walked out of the kitchen and saw the man sitting on the couch with a book in his hand. He
leaned on the couch with his legs crossed, slouching elegantly. He acted like he was the owner of the
house. Isabel was beside him, leaning on his arm while playing with her tablet. Liam was sitting
opposite them alone, reading a book Sylvia furrowed her brows and walked over. The father and
children looked at the mother when they heard her footsteps. Odell stared at her expressionless. Both
Isabel and Liam looked at her with googly eyes. Sylvia ignored Odell completely and said to her kids,
“Isabel, Liam, it’s time for dinner.” Both of them hummed a reply and obediently got up. Odell also put
the book down and naturally followed the kids to the table. Sylvia had a glare at him, but he turned a
blind eye to her and sat down by the table. Aunt Tonya served dinner swiftly. Sylvia put the food on
Isabel and Liam’s plate but not Odell’s.
Aunt Tonya sighed and took the initiative to put some food on Odell’s plate. Dinner went by silently.
After Sylvia wiped Isabel’s mouth, the girl ran over to Odell. Sylvia sighed subtly and wiped her mouth
before she looked at Liam. The little guy said, “Mommy, you can go rest. You don’t need to accompany
me.” As though the boy noticed his mother’s sour mood.
Sylvia patted his head and said softly, “I’m not tired. Let me stay with you for a while.” Liam widened his
bright eyes. “Okay.”
Sylvia carried the boy and sat down on the other couch, which showed her back at Odell. The boy
quietly sat beside her with a book in his hand. Sylvia curiously had a peek at the boy’s book and she
realized she did not understand a single thing about it. She took a few more glances and realized the
book was about how to make a robot.
A four-year-old reading such a boring book?
Sylvia was surprised but she did not disturb him. She feigned ignorance and went on her phone to
check the message she received. There was a text from Sherry asking how she was doing and there
was also a text from Simon asking about painting tips. Sylvia chatted with them and eventually forgot
about the annoying man in her house.
