Chapter 890
They reached home shortly after.
The three kids were taking a nap, while Aunt Tonya and the others were resting.
Only Sebastian and two bodyguards were in the yard.
Sylvia greeted them and hurried inside.
She went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror.
There was a red mark on the upper left part of her collarbone.
It was not exactly huge but was still rather eye-catching.
She dipped the towel in warm water and placed it over the spot.
After the towel had cooled down, she removed it but saw that the hickey remained.
All of a sudden, Flint’s cry sounded, indicating that the baby must have woken up.
Sylvia immediately grabbed a collared pink dress from the closet to cover the hickey.
She changed into the dress and went to the childrens’ room.
Flint’s cry had woken both Isabel and Liam. Isabel was so sleepy that she was rubbing her eyes. Liam
was sleepy as well but he was carrying the baby in his arms to try and calm him down.
Sylvia immediately took over and said, “Isabel, Liam, go back to
sleep. I’ll take care of Flint.”
Isabel nodded and fell back onto the bed.
Liam also laid back on his bed.
Sylvia then carried the baby out of their room.
Aunt Tonya and Aunt Wanda came over because they had heard the baby crying.
Sylvia told them to go back and rest as she wanted to feed the baby alone in her room.
She had to keep the hickey hidden for as long as possible.
Flint went back to sleep after he had eaten his fill.
The whole house turned quiet again.
Sylvia, however, was not tired at all. She put Flint in the crib and looked into the mirror, as she
pondered how to remove the hickey
She spent the whole afternoon either trying to erase or lessen the redness, but her efforts fell short. It
was getting dark and the only way was to conceal it with a thick layer of foundation.
It was still slightly reddish but looked a lot better than before.
She sighed and buttoned her collar.
It was then that the door opened.
Sylvia turned around and saw Odell walking toward her.
He was in his usual black suit with his jacket hanging over his arm.
Sylvia was shocked. She blurted, “Odell? Why are you home so early?”
The man froze and narrowed his eyes sharply. Sylvia immediately buttoned up the remaining buttons.
Odell saw her nervous reaction. He moved his eyes down to her body.
She was sitting in front of the makeup table with an opened bottle of foundation.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
Sylvia regained her composure and stood up. She smiled.” Nothing. I just woke up, so I was just
looking into the mirror.”
Odell pursed his lips and went up to her. He lifted her chin and rubbed her tender cheek.
There was no makeup on her face.
However, his sharp eyes noticed her buttoned up collar.
Sylvia sensed his gaze and tried to push him away but failed. She pushed harder but he restrained her
by putting his arm around her waist.
Swoosh!
The man then ripped her collar open and exposed her neck.
He scanned her neck with a deep gaze.
Feeling anxious, Sylvia wanted to cover her neck but he restrained her hands with his other hand.
He continued to scan her neck.
