Chapter 469
Back at Lush Heaven, Sylvia was in the room with her kids who were still clinging to her.
Sylvia talked to them about their lives, how things had changed and how they were adapting.
Liam barely spoke as Isabel did all the talking.
Isabel talked about how much she missed her mother, how she accompanied her great-grandmother
with her brother every night, and even the things she encountered at kindergarten.
Sylvia simply listened to her blabbering until Sherry’s phone rang.
After she answered the call, she turned to Sylvia with a horrified look “Syl! My security told me Odell is
coming! ”
Sylvia’s gaze shrunk She immediately turned to her kids and said, “ Isabel, Liam, I cannot let your
Daddy find me. Remember what I said. I’ll find you after I’ve handled everything. Remember!”
Liam hummed a reply and Isabel pouted. “Mommy, please come back soon!”
“I will.” Sylvia kissed both of them on the cheeks and ran towards the window.The bedroom had no
place for her to hide except in the bathroom, and there was only one shower curtain inside. One could
easily spot her through the translucent shower curtain.She could not afford to let Odell find her now, so
she climbed out of the window immediately.Sherry went over to the kids and sat down beside them.
“Isabel, Liam, pretend to be asleep! ”The two of them responded swiftly and lay back down on the bed
with their eyes closed.Then, knocks came from the door.It was Ben. “Ms. Fowler, Master Carter is here
for the kids.”“Oh, okay! ” Sherry ruffled her hair to make it look like she had just woken up from a nap
before she opened the door. Odell was right in front of the door.
Sherry had a glance at him before she stepped aside and let him in.He strode all the way to the bed
and carried Isabel in his arms. He glanced at Ben and signaled him to carry Liam, so Ben did as he
was signaled.The room looked cozy and quiet and there was no sign of anything inappropriate.Odell’s
frosty expression softened a bit. Before he left, he had a glance at Sherry and said, “Thank you for
accompanying them for the day.”Sherry grunted. “You don’t need to thank me. I’m doing this for
Syl.”Odell kept quiet and left with Isabel in his arms. Ben also carried Liam and followed his boss
outside.
It was time for Lush Heaven to start its business for the day.The crowd remained tame for now, but the
staff was gathered in front of the changing room.The changing room was located next to the bedroom
where Isabel and Liam were supposedly sleeping.Sylvia snuck into the changing room through the
window and hid behind the door while having a peek outside through the seam. She saw the man’s
towering figure leave with Ben behind him. Both of them were carrying Isabel and Liam
respectively.Just when they were about to walk down the stairs, one of the dancers outside the room
opened the door.Bang!The door was slammed into Sylvia’s nose, causing her to squeal in pain.The
dancer immediately apologized. “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! Are you okay?”Before Sylvia could reply,
she sensed a familiar gaze aimed in her direction.Odell, who was about to go down the stairs, heard
her squeal. He backed up a few steps and shot his sharp gaze at the changing room.
