Chapter 1098
Sylvia went down to the living room with Odell.
The meal was already prepared and the dishes were being served when they came down.
Aunt Tonya came over and asked, “Syl, have you remembered everything?”
Sylvia smiled at her. “Yeah, I remembered everything.”
“Great! Thank goodness!” Aunt Tonya cried excitedly.” Come, come sit down. You guys haven’t eaten
anything for a whole day. Odell hasn’t slept as well. Sit down and eat, and you guys can have a good
rest.”
Sylvia looked at the man beside her in surprise. He looked as frosty as usual, and when Sylvia looked
at him, he gripped her hand tighter. “Let’s eat.”
Sylvia finally realized his voice sounded rough.
No wonder she had woken up to his bloodshot eyes. The man had stayed awake by her side for the
entire night.
Her gaze shifted as she hummed a reply and sat down.
A lavish feast was spread out on the table. Sylvia filled her tummy quickly and then said, “I’m still
feeling dizzy. Let’s go get some rest.”
Odell smiled. “Sure.”
He held her hand and walked toward the stairs.
When they passed by the living room, Flint called out to them in his adorable voice again.
Sylvia turned around and saw Isabel trying to silence her little brother. Even Liam held the boy’s hand
back and stopped him from moving.
Isabel immediately said, “Mommy, Daddy, you guys go rest. Leave Flint to me and Liam.”.
“We’ll take good care of Flint,” Liam assured.
Flint gurgled in a muffled voice as his mouth and hands were being restrained.
With that, Sylvia nodded with a smile and went upstairs with Odell.
The curtains remained closed.
Odell took off his slippers and shirt, and then pulled her into his arms. He hugged her tightly.
Sylvia leaned on his chest and whispered, “I’m going to sleep. You should get some sleep too.”
He hummed a reply.
Sylvia shut her eyes. However, after falling unconscious for a day and a night, she could no longer go
back to sleep.
She opened her eyes after a few minutes and saw a pair of deep eyes studying her. Her gaze shifted.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Having not slept for the whole night, should he not be tired?
Odell looked at her and whispered softly, “I want to have another good look at you.” Sylvia leaned on
his chest. “I’m not going anywhere. Sleep.”
“Okay.”
The room was quiet until Sylvia lifted her head. She felt relief when she saw Odell soundly asleep.
It was just that the embrace was a little too tight for comfort, and staying in the posture would make her
body numb.
She reluctantly tried to pull his hand off her waist to turn around, but his strong arm hugged her once
more before she could even shift.
Sylvia was once again pulled into his arms. His gruff voice came from above her head. “Don’t go.” “I’m
not going anywhere. I just want to turn around.”
He lifted his hand off her waist the moment her voice subsided.
Sylvia turned her back on him.
He then put his hand on her waist again and hugged her once more. Sylvia pursed her lips and did not
move anymore. She started to replay the memories that she had recovered. The good and the bad,
everything played like a movie reel in her mind.
