Chapter 978
The peaceful and happy days went by swiftly.
Flint had started learning how to speak, so Sylvia started teaching him more and
more words. Although the life they led was a little simple, it was not exactly boring.
Odell came home from work on time almost every day. There were days when
he had to work until late at night, but fortunately, it was not frequent.
Isabel continued to sulk and was annoyed by Flint for the next few days. The sulking finally ended whe
n Flint finally called her‘ Sister‘ for the first time and put an end to the whole unpleasant episode.
Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye.
Because it was a Saturday, both Isabel and Liam did not have to attend school and Odell did not
have to work on weekends.
Isabel wanted to go to the amusement park, so Sylvia and Odell took them out for the entire day.
Even when the sky had turned dark, the little girl refused
to go home and wanted to go to a movie instead.
Odell glanced at Flint who was sleeping soundly in Sylvia‘s arms. He said, “Your brother is still too youn
g to go to a theater. We‘ll go next time.”
Isabel pouted. “Oh…”
She was disappointed. She had been looking forward to going to the movies but had to be considerate
of her little brother too.
Sylvia said, “I heard that there‘s a new 3D animation movie that
was just released recently. It‘s quite popular. Why don‘t you watch the movie with the two of them while
I‘ll take Flint for a walk? We‘ll go home together when you guys are done.”
Odell‘s lips tightened.
Isabel then said, “Mommy, let‘s go home. We‘ll watch it next
time.”
She sounded obedient but could not conceal the disappointment on her face.
The disappointment on the girl‘s face was heart–wrenching, so Sylvia suggested , “The movie might
not be showing anymore next week and you guys might not watch it anymore.”
Isabel pouted. She wanted to
watch the movie but did not want her mother and little brother to wait for them alone.
Sylvia turned to Odell. “Odell, just take them to the movies. I‘ll be fine
alone. I‘ll go and take a stroll with Flint.”
Odell pursed his lips. He then looked at Ben and Jacob. “Ben, you guys take them to the movies.”
Ben said, “Yes, Sir. We will take care of the two of them. Sir and Madam can go take a stroll or shop.”
Ben and Jacob then went over to Isabel and Liam.
Isabel was over the moon. She held her brother‘s hand and said,
“Mommy, Baddie Daddy, you guys go dating. Liam and I will listen to Uncle Ben and Uncle
Jacob! We’ll be good kids!”
Sylvia smiled at the girl‘s cheerful expression. “Okay, you guys go ahead.”
Isabel dragged her brother along as she ran while Ben and Jacob followed behind.
Odell took Flint from Sylvia and held her hand. “Where would you like to go?”
They were a few steps away from the lively commercial street, which was also connected to a mall.
Sylvia pursed her lips in thought before replying. “Let‘s just have a stroll here.”
“Okay.”
They held hands and strolled down the pathway.
It was lively on the street.
Groups of friends and couples in pairs were strolling along the street.
Odell‘s handsome looks attracted the ladies‘ attention but when they saw him with the baby in his
arms and Sylvia by his side, they withdrew their envious gazes and no one tried to catch his eye.
Flint slept soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Sylvia had a relaxing stroll and was even in the mood to queue up for food.
She waited in line for fifteen minutes to get some pizza.
The pizza was famous for its spicy flavor with cheese.
After getting it, she returned to Odell who was sitting on a bench along the street with Flint in his arms.
Sylvia sat down and put a piece of pizza near his mouth. “Here, have a taste.”
Odell hesitated.
“Come on, it‘s getting cold,” Sylvia urged.
Odell opened his mouth and took a bite.
Sylvia stared at him with glimmering eyes.
