Chapter 712
A hint of annoyance targeted at Isabel flashed across Lily’s eyes. She entered the restaurant through
the back entrance and headed straight to Odell’s table.
It was only then that Odell noticed and looked toward her. Lily smiled and said, “Young Master Carter,
what a coincidence. I didn’t think you’d personally bring the children to have a meal here. Is this the
important matter that you mentioned during the day?” Odell frowned.
Before he spoke, Lily continued, “However, the children are indeed important. If I had such adorable
children, I’d leave my work aside and accompany them more too.”
Odell’s brows relaxed. He asked out of courtesy, “Is Ms. Springsteen here to eat as well?”
“Yes, but I’m meeting other friends at another place. I have to head over now. Enjoy your meal.”
“Okay.”
Lily said to Isabel and Liam with a smile, “Young Master, Young Miss, enjoy your meal too.”
Isabel looked toward her with her big eyes.
For some reason, she could not bring herself to like that
aunty. However, her mom told her to treat others politely, especially when that aunty looked quite polite.
Therefore, she replied, “Bye, aunty.”
Lily smiled. She also grinned at Odell, then turned around and left the restaurant.
Odell did not look at her anymore. He took his fork and continued getting meat for Isabel.
Isabel stared at the pot and gave orders on what she wanted to eat.
Opposite them, Liam was slowly eating the food he scooped from the clear soup.
He was quiet, and his movements were elegant.
It was as if the noise in the world had nothing to do with
him.
Even Lily did not look in his direction when she came just now.
Liam was thinking of his mom.
He did not care about having his dad tending to him. However, if Mom were there, she would have
taken care of him attentively like how Dad was taking care of his sister. She would gently tell him to eat
more and keep getting food for him. He would happily eat more instead of losing his appetite after a
few bites, which was what he was feeling right then.
A week later.
Carter Tower.
Odell freed some time and went through the proposal Lily sent over.
She even sent her thoughts on the project. Every line was explained in detail. Although some parts
were unrealistic, her perspective was unique.
He went through her idea, which had a few thousand words. After that, he gave her a call.
The call was connected after it rang twice.
Lily’s gentle voice came from the phone. “Young Master Carter, have you taken a look at the proposal
and my thoughts that I sent you?”
“Mm. I have additional opinions. Come to Carter Corporation when you’re free. Let’s talk face-to-face.”
“I have time this evening. Is this evening convenient for you?”
“I can make it after 2:00 p.m.”
“Let’s meet at the cafe in Carter Tower at 2:30 p.m.”
Odell thought about it. “Okay.”
The cafe was not far, so walking over would not waste
much time.
2:00 p.m.
Odell returned to his office after a short meeting. Liam was reading a book at his table by the window.
Isabel, who was supposed to study and read with him, was secretly watching dramas on the phone.
When she saw Odell returning, she immediately hid the phone in her sleeve.
However, she did not turn off the volume. Odell could listen to everything clearly.
He walked to Isabel’s side and extended his big hand in front of her. “Give me the phone.”
Isabel pouted.
Odell frowned. His expression turned even more stern.
Isabel did not dare to hide the phone any longer. She quickly took it out from her sleeve and handed it
to him.
