Chapter 218 The next few days, Isabel and Liam came to find her every morning. It was New Yearâs Eve. Sylvia had just finished her breakfast and was about to wait for them to come over when she received a call from Isabel.
The little girl grumbled over the phone, âMom, that baddie wonât let Liam and me go to you.â
Her girlish voice was tinged with a sob. She probably had a fight with Odell.
Sylvia quickly coaxed her. âItâs okay. Itâs New Yearâs Eve today. You and Liam can stay at home.
Isabel pouted. âBut we want to see you.â Sylvia wanted to see them more than anything, but she could not deal with Odell at all. After thinking about it, she said, âBe a good girl. Itâs only for today. Itâll be over soon.â Isabel did not say anything. She was probably pouting unhappily. Sylvia said, âListen to Mommy, okay, Isabel?â Isabel let out a hum.
Then, Liamâs voice rang out from the phone. âDonât worry, Mom. Isabel and I will be good.â Sylvia smiled.
âGood boy, Liam.â Soon, she hung up the phone. She put on her down jacket and walked toward the old Carter residence.
She wanted to see if she could go in and meet the two little ones. She had not said that she was going to look for them on the phone because she did not want to give them hope. They would be very sad and disappointed if she could not enter. Not long after, she arrived at the mansion on foot. Coincidentally, a white luxury car drove over and stopped in front of her, so Sylvia had no choice but to halt.
Tara stepped out from inside the car, wearing a limited edition cashmere coat. She raised her chin and looked a with a cold and arro rant smile. âV bu here?â
la VILII a LUIU di allUKAIILLILIIT She acted as if she was already the mistress of this place. Sylvia ignored her and walked around to go to the gate. She looked at the guard and said, âIâm here to see the children. Please open the gate.â
The guard hesitated and looked at Tara.
Tara said coldly, âIf I remember correctly, Odell only allows you to see the children for an hour at night.
Youâre not allowed to come here during the day, right?â She frowned and continued to look at the guard.
She often came here, so she was familiar with the guard.
However, the guard seemed to be afraid of offending Tara, so he turned his head away and pretended not to see Sylvia. Tara immediately smiled. âSylvia, hurry up and leave. Odell will definitely be unhappy if he sees you when he comes out to pick me up.â Sylvia did not listen to her finish speaking and simply left. Taraâs expression froze for a moment. She looked at Sylviaâs back and cursed in a low voice, âB *tch.â
It did not take long for Sylvia to reach the intersection where she had to turn. As she waited for the light to turn green, she turned around inadvertently and saw two figures outside the mansion.
Odell had already come out. He held her in his arms, perhaps afraid that she was cold. The two figures were very intimate.
Sylvia felt it was an eyesore and instantly turned her head. As soon as the light turned green, she quickly walked toward the opposite side of the road. At this time, outside the mansion, Tara turned her head and saw that Sylviaâs figure was gone, and she finally left Odellâs arms. Then, she opened the trunk and carried out several exquisite gift boxes. âOdell, I carefully selected some gifts for Grandmother. Help me take them to her.â Odell smiled. âYou didnât have to.â. âOf course, I did. I just want Grandmother to be healthy and happy.â Tara curled the corners of her mouth in a gentle and considerate smile. Odell thought of Madam Carterâs disgust and rejection of Tara, but Tara remained so polite and kindâhearted.
His eyes could not help but warm. He raised his hand and touched her head. âYou go back first. Iâll come to find you in the evening.â
