Chapter 643
Sebastian answered her warmly, “I… No, it’s nothing.”
That was when Sylvia and Aunt Tonya stepped forward to see him.
Sylvia gently patted Isabel’s head and urged, “Isabel, go inside and play with your brother.” Isabel
muted a quick “Okay” and ran back into the living room. Sylvia went up to Sebastian and addressed
him, “Sebastian, are you here to say something to
me?”
Sebastian hesitated for several seconds and with an exasperated sigh, began relaying,” Missus, I just
wanted to see if I can persuade you to speak to Master Carter. Jacob told me that he went to the bar
today again. I know that circumstances are hard with what’s happening”. with the company, but he can’t
keep living like this. Sylvia frowned sternly. “I divorced him a long time ago. It’s not in my place to talk to
him.”
“But there’s no one more suitable for this task than you. You just need to go to him and say a few
words. I’m sure he’ll return to his usual form after that.”
“No, it’s just that the person he cares about most isn’t…” Before she even implied the possibility of that
person being her, she stuttered. Her thoughts went to the sapphire ring again. It all happened because
she had given the sapphire ring to Tara. That was why Odell mistook Tara as his guardian angel and
believed that she was the most important person in his life. If she had not given the ring to Tara at the
time, he would have seen her as his guardian angel instead. Perhaps she should never have given the
ring to Tara, but he was just as guilty and foolish to think that Tara was the one who saved him that
night! She felt something heavy and oppressing expanding inside her. Her mind was a muddled mess
“Missus, I’m begging you at this point.” Sebastian’s voice became choked up as he said this, and tears
swelled in his eyes.
Sylvia gnashed her teeth. “Let me think about it. Sebastian responded eagerly, “Alright, alright. She
went back to the living room. Liam and Isabel were sitting together in the living room.
Isabel was watching cartoons on the tablet while Liam sat next to her reading a book.
Sylvia was feeling overwhelmed but did not want to sour their mood as well, so she sat on the other
side.
Sebastian’s voice rang in her ears like a spell. She could not forget how Odell had chosen Tara over
her when being threatened by Spencer previously.
She knitted her brows into a tight frown,
Even before Spencer kidnapped her and Tara, Odell had broken things off with Tara for some time. She
vividly remembered how Odell had told her that he had severed all relations with Tara. In that case, it
did not make sense that he still ended up saving Tara because of the sapphire ring
Deep down, he must still care a great deal about Tara, enough to choose to let Tara live even when
threatened at gunpoint by Spencer.

While she was zoning out, she suddenly felt a chubby hand touching her forehead. It was as if the
thunderstorm inside her mind cleared instantly. She looked down and saw Isabel crawling into her arms
and Liam standing in front of her. The two of them were looking at her innocently. Isabel asked with
sweet concern in her voice, “Mommy, what’s wrong? Did something bad happen?” Sylvia smiled and
assured her. “Mommy is fine.” “But I saw your eyebrows knitted together like a straight line.”
Sylvia had no choice but to confess, “It’s just something troublesome that Mommy has to deal with. It
doesn’t matter. Mommy will feel better eventually.”
Isabel leaned into her chest and rubbed her chubby cheeks against Sylvia’s. “Don’t be sad, Mommy. I’ll
always be with you.” Liam silently sat next to her as well Sylvia immediately took both of them into her
arms. She felt a warm and fuzzy feeling gushing inside her. –
That was when she found the answer she had been seeking the entire time. She should talk to Odell,
at least for the children’s sake. 1 Whether he would listen or not was an entirely separate matter.
