Chapter 871
Unexpectedly, Odell smiled and answered, “Okay.”
Not only did he agree easily, but his low and magnetic voice also seemed to be a little doting on her.
Sylvia’s heart trembled, and she could not help but press herself against him, holding his arm as they
walked to the parking lot.
Meanwhile, in the gallery on the third floor of the mall, Lily stood in front of the window wall, watching
their intimate figures leave.
When Sylvia and Odell left by car, she immediately took out her phone and called Thomas.
The line rang for a while before connecting, and she asked coldly, “Second Master, more than three
months have passed. When exactly will your plan start? Are you going to let Sylvia give birth to his
fourth child before you start?”
She got angrier the more she spoke.
Especially when she thought back to the scene of Odell holding Sylvia earlier, and how he held Sylvia’s
shopping bags for her.
He was the master of the Carter family and the head of the entire Carter Corporation. It was
condescending enough for him to accompany her shopping, but he actually carried her bags for her!
Seemingly sensing her emotions, Thomas asked in a light voice, “Did you meet them?”
Lily took a breath, calmed down, and said with a sneer, “Yes, I saw Master Carter accompanying Ms.
Ross to shop. They were holding hands and looked very affectionate.”
Thomas was silent for a while and asked, “Has your project with Carter Corporation started yet?”
“It started long ago.” Lily’s expression changed. “Why are you asking?”
“Are there a lot of things that need to be communicated in the future?”
“Yes, but they’ll be dealt with by the subordinates.”
“I suggest you pick a few important matters and go to him personally.”
Lily frowned. “He saw me when I went with my grandmother to get the paternity report with Grand-aunt
Ramona. He definitely won’t agree to meet me.”
She could feel the man’s aversion to her. She did not want to go to him as if she was begging for his
attention.
“Oh, he’ll meet you,” Thomas replied.
Lily’s gaze flickered as she asked, “Do you have a plan?”
Sylvia and Odell came to a barbeque restaurant.
Although the weather was hot, there were quite a few people in the restaurant.
Odell asked for a suite, and they sat face to face at a table. They ordered all the dishes that she liked to
eat as well as what he usually ate.
Before long, the dishes were all served.
Sylvia was about to start grilling the meat when she saw him pick up the skewers and methodically
place the meat and vegetables on the grill. Her eyes widened.
Upon seeing her surprise, Odell said without changing his expression, “I took Isabel and Liam to have
grilled meat a few times when you were away.”
Her gaze darkened. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. It’s not your fault.” He put up a piece of cooked meat on her plate and added, “I’m
their father. It’s only right that I take care of them.”
The person who should apologize was him. Aside from all the things he had done to hurt her in the
past, he should have taken care of them as a husband and father. However, he repeatedly distrusted
her and almost caused her to have another accident.
Sylvia blinked, then took her hand and pinched her face.
Odell frowned. “Why are you pinching yourself?”
She smiled and said, “I was wondering if I was dreaming.”
He was speechless, and his handsome face instantly darkened.
Sylvia’s eyes flickered as she quickly said, “I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just ecstatic.”
Then, seeing that he was still a bit upset, she reached out and tried to grab a slice of grilled meat.
However, Odell slapped her hand away. He said in a cold voice,” Don’t touch that.” Sylvia withdrew her
hand with a feeble response, “Okay.”
