Chapter 934
Cliff was still perplexed. Even though the project was not a minor one, it was not impotent enough to
warrant an in-person survey from the leader of Carter Corporation. It would have made more sense to
send someone over to dig up the details.
Still, Odell must have his reasons for wanting to do it himself. Cliff knew his place and did not pester
him with more questions. “Okay, I’ll let them know first thing tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up, Odell put the phone beside the bed and looked out the window gloomily.
If his suspicions were correct, the reason Sylvia tossed and turned in bed and had trouble falling asleep
was that she was worried about Sherry.
He knew that John would welcome him in person when he visited Glanchester. It would be a good
chance for him to talk to him about Sherry and gauge how he felt toward Sherry. This was the least he
could do to put Sylvia at rest.
A day later, in the evening.
Sylvia was on her phone and was just about to buy a train ticket to Glanchester tomorrow when she
heard a car stopping outside the house.
Isabel took Flint with her and went outside while chanting“ Baddie Daddy”.
Sylvia hurriedly put away her phone.
She figured it would be fine if she told Odell only after the fact.
Shortly after, Odell showed up inside the house with Flint in his arms and Isabel trailing after.
Sylvia smiled politely. “You’re back.”
Odell returned a faint smile. “Yeah.”
“I have something to tell you.”
“I have something to tell you-”
Both of them spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time as well.
Odell chuckled. “What were you going to tell me?”
“I think you should go first.” She realized she had not composed what she was going to say in her
head.
Odell cast a strange look at her before handing Flint to Isabel.” Take your brother and go to Liam,
Mommy and Daddy need to talk.”
“Okay.” Isabel took Flint as she was instructed and went off to find Liam.
Odell drew closer to Sylvia in a few steps and gently informed her, “I’m going to Glanchester tomorrow
morning. I’ll probably be there for about two days.”
Sylvia’s expression shifted dramatically. “You’re going to Glanchester?”
“Yeah, going on a business trip.”
Sylvia made a look and asked timidly, “Can I go with you?”
Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
Something shifted in Odell’s eyes. He pinched her cheeks and asked in a raspy voice, “You want to go
with me?”
Sylvia could feel her cheeks burning. She wanted to retreat from his touch but could not.
She met his alluring gaze and muttered, “Hm.”
Odell smiled. “We’re leaving at eight tomorrow morning so get some early rest tonight.”
Sylvia smiled. “Okay.”
“So, what were you going to tell me?” Odell suddenly remembered and asked while still brushing
Sylvia’s cheeks.
Sylvia hesitated for a moment then brushed it off. “I forgot.”
Since he was going to take her to Glanchester anyway, there was no longer a need to tell him about
her plans to go to Glanchester herself.
Besides, he mentioned he was going to Glanchester for a business trip. It would only distract him if she
told him about her plans of looking for Sherry at John’s place.
Odell narrowed his eyes into a slit. “You’re sure you forgot?”
“Yeah.” She avoided his gaze.
“Tell me when you remember.”
“Okay.”
The next day, Sylvia opened her eyes before the alarm on her phone even went off.
She had packed her luggage last night.
After washing up, she tied her hair up and put on a set of comfortable clothes, then she lugged the
suitcase behind her and went to the living room.
It was still rather early so the children were still sleeping.
Two housemaids were cleaning the living room.
Odell had been waiting for her. He wore a freshly ironed suit and was sitting on the couch reading a
newspaper while drinking coffee.
