Chapter 1039 Odell sat next to her and peered at her from the corner of his eyes.
Isabel had woken up some time ago. She was seated in the further back row with Liam.
Liam was reading a book.
Isabel leaned against his shoulder and stared
at Odell and Sylvia in front. Her eyes widened like a giant ball.
After staring for some time, she inched toward Liam and whispered, “Do you think Mommy
and baddie Daddy are going to get along from now on?”
Liam darted a glance at the two sitting
in front. He observed the tender, amiable expression on their faces and seemed convinced
himself as well. He uttered a short “hmm” in reply to Isabel.
Isabel snickered joyously. “That‘s great. We‘ll never be separated from Mommy
and Daddy from now on.”
Liam clicked his tongue.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the house.
Sebastian and Aunt Tonya had been waiting for them outside the house.
The car had just screeched to a stop when Sylvia saw them approaching the car.
Isabel was the first to hop out of the car.
Sylvia carried Flint and
could not wait to meet them as well. “Aunt Tonya, Sebastian , sorry for making you two worry.”
Aunt Tonya looked at her up and down and remarked with a bright smile, “Everything is fine as long as
you return safely.”
After some small talk, they all entered the house.
Sebastian and Aunt Tonya had prepared dinner.
As soon as they entered the house, the housemaids set the meal on the table. It was a feast.
Flint must have smelled the aroma of the food as well. He suddenly opened his eyes and began chanti
ng at his mother while waving his hands around frantically,“ Mommy, eat…”
Sylvia smiled and was about to bring him to the table to find something for him to
eat when a pair of long arms suddenly appeared from behind and took him from her arms.
Odell had taken Flint with one arm and
gently patted Sylvia‘s head with another. “You go to dinner with Liam Isabel first. I‘ll find something for F
lint to eat.”
With that, he took Flint and went to the kitchen counter.
Aunt Tonya quickly stepped forward and urged, “Let me take Flint. You can eat with them.
“No.” Odell insisted. He scooped a spoon of baby food puree into Flint‘s mouth.
They had a container full of baby food puree in the kitchen made in preparation for Flint. Flint opened hi
s mouth immediately and swallowed a spoonful of puree with great delight.
Odell continued feeding him with the same stoic look on his face.
Sylvia had Isabel and Liam sit at the kitchen table before joining them.
Flint was full after a while so Odell went to join them at the kitchen table.
Aunt Tonya and Aunt Flora took Flint aside to play with him.
Meanwhile , Sylvia, Isabel, and Liam had nearly finished their
food as well. Most of the food on the table had gone cold by now.
Sylvia passed
Odell a bowl of hot soup. “This soup is still warm, drink it quickly.” Odell seemed touched by this gesture
There was a shine in his jet–black eyes as he seemed like he had something to say. Sylvia
looked at him with a perplexed expression. “Why are you looking at me like that?
Don’t you want the soup?” During the first two years of their marriage , she would often serve food for hi
he was never receptive and was nothing but hostile toward her.
It must have left an impact on her. Deep down, she must still remember those unsavory events.
Perhaps he did not want the
soup, just like in the past? Odell smiled softly. “Nothing, let me drink that.” With that, he took
the bowl of soup and lifted it at an angle to drink it without needing a spoon.
Sylvia stared at him silently. This was an improvement.
