Chapter 37
Tristan followed Sylvia closely as they strode back to the studio.
From the back, the two of them appeared to be really close.
Tara grinned. She turned around to Odell and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect Sylvia to work at Tristan’s studio.”
Odell wore a stony look in silence and simply walked away.
Tara quickly curled her arms around his and added, “Though I have a feeling that there is more than meets the eye between them. Tristan has always liked to be around Sylvia since he was young. It seems like some things never change.
“Besides, I heard the Ledgers are interested in having a union with the Rosses, but Tristan’s parents are fond of Sylvia’s sister, Sonia, not her. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for them to be this close?”
A layer of resentment was added to Odell’s cold demeanor. It was the bitterness he had for Sylvia
Back then, she had forced herself into his room and made him marry her, and now, she was seducing her sister’s man.
What a whore!
“I don’t want to talk about her anymore,” he dismissed coldly.
Tara noticed the irritation on his face and said softly, “Okay. I’ll zip my mouth, Don’t be so upset, Odell.”
She knew that Odell’s reaction was because of his resentment for Sylvia, which put a soft grin on her face,
In the afternoon, Sylvia got ready to send her kids from kindergarten to the Old District, but it was still raining outside. The sky seemed to be forever cloudy.
Sylvia did not make them wait because she had to send them back to the Carters’ before dark. Like always, she hugged both of them before parting.
Isabel pouted and said, “Mommy, you haven’t kissed us goodbye.”
Liam also stared at his mother quietly.
Sylvia sneakily looked around. When there was no one around, she bent over and kissed her adorable kids on the cheeks in farewell. The brother and sister also kissed her on both sides of the cheek before they went inside the house.
Sylvia watched the two of them go inside. After they disappeared from her sight, she turned around and bumped into Odell.
He was dressed in a black shirt that complemented his stylish figure. He had actually seen everything from a meter away. His sharp gaze sized her up from top to bottom.
Sylvia did not notice his presence at all, and his sudden appearance frightened her, causing her to falter.
“Do you not remember what I said?” he said with a glower, referring to the kissing.
Sylvia was unhappy with his tone and his ridiculous mandate. They were her children, so why couldn’t she kiss her own children? NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Nevertheless, she suppressed her anger and said, “I couldn’t hold myself back just now.”
Odell glared at her. “No more next time, or you can kiss them goodbye for good.”
Sylvia’s anger exploded. She stared right into his cold eyes and questioned him,“ They are my children. Why can’t I kiss them?”
“It’s because you’re filthy.”
Sylvia was both annoyed and confused. She showered every day, washed her hands constantly, and never wore lipstick when she was with the kids. Which part of her was filthy?
Just when she wanted to argue, Odell glared at her in disgust and said, “Don’t kiss
them with the lips that you used to kiss other men.”
Sylvia was speechless. The annoyance was stuck in her chest, suffocating her.
Who had she kissed?
Did he misunderstand something after seeing her and Tristan together earlier?
Sylvia gasped and said, “Odell, there’s nothing between Tristan and me. I didn’t -”
Before she could finish, he strode away and entered the house. He did not believe her and refused to hear any explanation.
Furious, Sylvia blurted out loud, “Are you out of your mind or something?”
Odell froze before he completely entered the house. He turned around to her.
Sylvia was taken over by rage and was not scared of him at all. In the end, she simply grunted and left.
