Chapter 769
Sylvia was frightened by his face and carefully turned sideways so that her belly faced the outside of
the car.
They sat like this for more than twenty minutes.
The car drove into the Old District and to the gates of the old Carter mansion.
Sylvia’s eyes lit up, and she was about to push the car door open right away.
“Come back,” the man suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
Sylvia looked at him in confusion. He looked at her icily. “You left for half a year and didn’t so much as
send them a text message. I have to ask them if they’re still willing to meet you.”
Sylvia’s chest seized. She withdrew her hand from the car door and replied, “Okay.” Odell turned and
got out of the car. His tall figure quickly walked through the door.
Sylvia clasped her hands together and stared in the direction of the gate. She had not sent them a
message in six months, so they should resent her and be angry at her. However, they should also miss
her.
On the other side, Odell soon arrived at the children’s room.
Liam was reading a book by the window, and Isabel was buried in a comic book. The room was neat
and tidy, much better than he expected.
When they saw him coming, they both looked at him.
Liam glanced at him and looked away. Isabel asked, “Why are you here, Baddie?” Odell crossed his
arms and looked at them. “I have something very important to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Your mother is back.”
Isabel’s eyes widened instantly.
Liam also looked over.
Odell looked at them and asked, “Do you want to see her
now?”
Outside the gate, in a black MPV, as time passed , Sylvia could not control her anxiety. Her hands were
clenched tightly, and her eyes glanced at her wristwatch from time to time.
Almost twenty minutes had passed since Odell went in.
With his stride, he could have reached the children’s room in two minutes at most. With the speed of
the children’s walking, they should be able to come out in three minutes at most. However, they had not
come out even after twenty minutes.
Did they not want to see her?
She stared at her watch.
The seconds ticked by.
Soon, another two minutes passed, but there was still no movement inside.
‘Are they angry at me? That’s right. I promised them that I wouldn’t leave them again, but this time, I
left for half a year. Not only was I unable to call them, but I also didn’t even send them a single
message in the past six months. They must resent me and think that I don’t want them anymore.
But I miss them so much. I miss them so much that I can’t sleep at night. I miss them so much that I
can only take a razor and slice my arm layer by layer to relieve my longing…’
A sour emotion suddenly filled her whole body.
She closed her eyes and raised her hand to cover her face. She wanted to swallow back her tears. She
did not want to lose control of her emotions anymore. However, the more she did that, the more her
chest hurt.
ULUU
Just as her breathing became rapid and she was about to break down, a sweet cry suddenly came.
“Mommy!”
Sylvia’s body tensed up, and she immediately turned her head to look in the direction of the door.
There, she saw Isabel wearing a puffy red dress, running out of the door with her short legs.
Liam wore a neat little suit, following Isabel and running toward Sylvia as well.
