Chapter 171 Liam said, “Mommy, let‘s just continue chatting. Ignore him.” Isabel nodded along. “Yeah,
he‘s invisible.” | Sylvia could not help but curled her lips into a smile although Odell fired a cold glance
at them.
Sylvia turned a blind eye at him and said to the two of them, “Liam, Isabel, you guys can continue.
What happened after you know the new transfer student?” Isabel pouted with puffy cheeks and said, “I
told him to call me boss. Liam and I will take care of him from now on.”
Sylvia was rendered speechless. There was a twitch at the edge of her mouth when she secretly
glanced at Liam.
Liam grinned. His googly eyes were filled with love for his sister. He had no objections to Isabel being
their boss. Sylvia chuckled awkwardly. “Then, did he?”
“Of course.” Isabel continued her heroic achievements back at school.
The whole living room was filled with waves of laughter from the mother and children. The man on the
couch was treated as an invisible person. He looked grim for a while before he eventually turned his
attention to Sylvia.
She should have dressed for the occasion. She looked a lot more beautiful than when she had been in
her bare face when she had persistently lingered in his office earlier in the day. She was also wearing a
dress.
There was a white fluffy shawl around her shoulder that complemented her snowy white neck, making
her face look extra charming. It even granted her an extraordinary sense of elegance.
However, the more he looked at the shawl, the more familiar it seemed.
He soon thought of Tara. Tara had a shawl today as well, and both of them obviously had the same
pattern. However, Tara‘s one was coupled with a crimson red tight dress, which made her look
coquettish. The shawl did not appeal to him at first look but now, when it was on Sylvia, it looked
decent.
He narrowed his eyes.
Sylvia enjoyed talking to Isabel and Liam, but she could not help but notice his gaze, and it made her
uncomfortable. A while later, she turned to him and said, “Odell, can you stop staring at me?”
She was just chatting with the children, not badmouthing him, so why would he stare at her? The
moment her words subsided, Isabel grumbled, “Big‘ meanie, I know my Mommy is
beautiful today, but she‘s mine, and Liam‘s. You cannot look at her!” Liam echoed, “Isabel is right.”
Sylvia was stunned. “What?”
Odell was speechless. The air froze for a moment, and so was the look on Odell‘s face. It was
obviously defeat. It was rare to see Odell in defeat. Sylvia could not help but giggle. Odell glared at her.
“Don‘t overthink it. I‘m just reminding you that you have ten minutes
left.”
Sylvia looked at the time. It was already 8:50 p.m. She turned to her kids and said, “Isabel, Liam. I have
to go back soon. Let‘s go to your room and I‘ll tell you a bedtime story.”
Isabel shook her mother‘s arm. “Mommy, I want to sleep with you.” Liam shared the same anticipation.
Sylvia then turned to Odell for instruction, but she saw only coldness on his face as if he was saying,
“Don‘t push it.”
Sylvia bit the bullet and said, “We‘ll talk about that when Mommy‘s leg gets better, okay?”
Isabel and Liam were no idiots. They knew she rejected them because of Odell. Isabel grunted at Odell
before she obediently nodded and said to her mother, “Okay.” Liam protruded his lips in silence.
