Odell squinted and hugged her tightly in his arms. Tara sobbed. “Odell, can we have another baby?” Odell furrowed his brows. “Your body is not ready now. Let's talk about it when you get better.” She simply sobbed in silence as a reply. He tapped her back and said, “Tara, once Grandmother gives me the green light, I’ll marry you right away.” “Mm-hmm.” Tara hummed a reply. She lay in his arms and stared in the direction where Sylvia walked off. There was a hint of anxiety and anger in her eyes. Sylvia must be using her children to get close to Odell. ‘That bitch! I should have made sure that she stayed dead back then!” …After Sylvia reached home, she received a call from Isabel. She blurted out everything she heard from Tara after Sylvia left. It seemed like Tara was badmouthing Sylvia in front of Odell. Sylvia simply scoffed. She expected all this. She said to Isabel, “Isabel, you don’t need to care about all that.” Annoyed, Isabel pouted and said, “She’s talkin

Tristan’s face froze for a while. “Are they yours and Odell’s kids?” “Yes.” Then, Sylvia passed him the sunflower that she finished carving. “I’m done, Mr. Ledger.” Tristan stared at the carved sunflower. It was minimalistic yet blooming with life, and his eyes glimmered with interest when he saw it. He took it and smiled at her. “Nicely done.” Sylvia got up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work.” Tristan’s smile remained. “Okay.” While she exited the room, Tristan’s eyes never left her. He even clutched the carved sunflower in his hands tightly. “Sylvia, I'll never let you go again.” …Right after Sylvia came out from the office, Betty sashayed up to her. As though she was a paparazzi, she sniffed for any kinds of gossip revolving the boss and Sylvia. “Our grandfathers were friends, so I knew him since we were young,” Sylvia said.Indeed, they knew each other when they were young. Even though he lived with his parents in the wealthy district, he would vis

Odell tightened his lips in silence. Sylvia simply stared at him in confusion. He looked rather cold, but he was not exactly unhappy about it. Was it because of jealousy? Confused, Sylvia asked, “I don’t have any lipstick on, so why can’t I kiss them?” Odell stared at her. “Leave.” Sylvia was silenced and deeply annoyed. ‘Crazy bastard!’ Frustrated, she pouted and left. Due to her suppressed annoyance, she hastened her pace, which caused her slender figure to wiggle more than usual. Even her dress fluttered as she strode away. Odell had a few glances before he looked away with a bitter look. ‘This woman… how dare she seduce me?!’ …The next morning, when Sylvia arrived at the studio, Betty and the other colleagues shot her ridiculing gazes. Curious, she stared back, but her colleagues quickly switched their gazes to her desk. Sylvia followed their gaze to her desk and saw a bouquet of sunflowers. Beside the sunflowers was a card with a message written in bold

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 tal

She might freeze to death if he kept her waiting outside. Two dial tones later, the call ended abruptly. Sylvia stared at the number on her screen with gnashing teeth. ‘Is he coming out or not? Is he trying to leave me to freeze to death?’ Sylvia had the urge to leave, but whenever she closed her eyes, she saw Isabel and Liam’s adorable faces smiling at her. She could not afford to lose them. She continued squatting while staring at the ground. There was already a puddle of water beneath her feet, and every drop of rain that fell caused it to ripple. She started to shiver uncontrollably due to the cold. Just when her consciousness started to fade, she heard footsteps coming closer. It was the noise of a pair of leather shoes stepping on the concrete ground. Sylvia looked up to see a tall figure in a well-manicured suit coming toward her in the heavy rain. However, her consciousness grew weak, and she thought she was hallucinating, so she shut her eyes for a moment.
