Chapter 872
Seeing her like this, Odell instantly gave her another piece of meat. “Eat.”
“Okay.” Sylvia immediately devoured the meat.
As soon as she swallowed it, more pieces appeared on her plate. The meat and vegetables were just
the right degree of heat.
She dipped them in the sauce and munched on them.
For some reason, she felt that the food here was particularly delicious. It was much better than all the
grilled meat she had eaten before.
Odell saw her lips twitching in a smile. He held back his laughter and asked, “Is it good?”
“Yeah. You have some too.” Sylvia picked up her fork and gave him a piece.
She just realized that she did not use the communal tongs. Just as she was about to tell him not to eat
it, he picked up the meat and shoved it in his mouth.
“Not bad,” he said.
Sylvia curled up the corners of her mouth.
Odell smiled and continued to grill the meat.
“I’ll do it. You can eat instead.”
“No need, you eat.” His voice was gentle yet firm,
Thus, Sylvia ate. The more she ate, the happier she became, especially when he gave her the cooked
food from time to time.
Odell took in the look in her eyes. The corners of his lips curled up, and the gaze in his eyes deepened.
How bad was he in the past for her to be so pleased with him just doing such a menial task as cooking
meat for her like this?
The meal ended on a happy note.
Sylvia went out to watch a movie with him again. Like an ordinary couple, after watching the movie,
they went to a food street and indulged in the ice cream she wanted along with some snacks. They
only went back when it was dark.
The car smoothly parked outside the old residence.
Sylvia got out of the car and quickly walked in.
It was Flint’s first time being away from her for so long since he was born. She wondered if he cried or
made a fuss.
Soon, she walked into the living room.
In the bright living room, Aunt Tonya and the others were sitting together chatting, and Sebastian sat
beside them.
On the other side of the sofa, Flint sat in between Isabel and Liam, watching his older siblings play with
race cars with his bright eyes open. His earnest gaze was adorable.
Sylvia’s nervous mood relaxed.
At that moment, they all saw Odell and her come in and looked at her.
Isabel and Liam put down their remote controls. Instead of coming directly, the little girl picked up Flint
beside her and said, “Flinty, Mommy is back!”
Flint immediately reached out toward Sylvia, babbling excitedly.
Sylvia quickly went over and took him into her arms. The little one threw his arms around her neck as if
afraid that she would leave.
At that moment, Odell also came in.
Flint glanced at him and continued to lay his face on Sylvia’s shoulder, choosing to stick to his mother.
Sylvia held him and sat between Isabel and Liam. “What did you all do at home during the day?”
Liam’s eyes flickered as he looked at Flint, who was in Sylvia’s arms, and said, “Read, play with Flint,
play games.”
Isabel said, “Ditto.”
Sylvia immediately asked, “You also read?”
Isabel giggled. “I did everything except that.”
Sylvia laughed.
“Mommy, where did you and Baddie go for your date?” The girl looked up to ask her, her curved eyes
as bright as the crescent moon, full of curiosity and nosiness.
Sylvia looked at Odell who sat on Isabel’s other side, reading the evening paper as if he did not hear
the girl’s words.
Sylvia said, “We went shopping, ate, and watched a movie.” Isabel’s eyes flickered. “Did you kiss?”
