Chapter 117

“But I want to see Mommy and talk to her.”

Liam patted her head, “Let’s call Mommy.”

“But the baddie took our phone away. He won’t even let Great-grandma, Uncle Ben, or Uncle Jacob lend

us their phones.”

“There is one more person whose phone we can borrow.” Isabel’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Whose?”

Liam smirked mischievously. “Dad’s.”

Several hours later, in the middle of the night, two small figures snuck out of the room and crept across

the floor on their bare feet. They reach Odell’s room without making a sound. Liam slowly held the door

handle and pulled it down. – Isabel slipped inside like a slippery loach. When she saw Odell sleeping

soundly in bed, she crept to the head of the bed and stole the phone from the bedside table.

She quickly crept out with the prize in hand.

Liam closed the door softly and brought Isabel back to their room. He turned on the phone and took

Sylvia’s number off the blacklist. Then, he clicked the dial button.

Meanwhile, at Sylvia’s residence.

Ding! The ringtone began playing. Sylvia put down her paintbrush and picked up her phone. She did not

anticipate the phone display to show Odell calling, so she was taken aback. Why was he suddenly

calling her? Though she was flabbergasted, she still quickly answered the call. The moment the call

connected, she heard the ecstatic voice of her daughter crying out,“ Mommy!”

“Isabel?” Sylvia’s eyes brightened.

“Mommy,” another voice chimed in.

“Liam? Why are you two calling me on your Daddy’s cell phone?” Sylvia asked with a mixed tone of joy

and perplexity. Seeing how she had burned bridges with Odell the previous day, he would not be so kind

as to let the children use his phone to call their mother.

“Brother and I stole it from the baddie since he’s sleeping, “Isabel admitted.

So, that was what happened.

Sylvia was amused and smiled, then she asked, “It’s so late already. Why haven’t you two slept

yet?”

Isabel said softly, “Because we miss you so much. We miss you so much that we can’t sleep.” Liam did

not say a word, but Sylvia could only imagine how cute he looked huddled up together with his sister with

a phone between them. Sylvia’s voice softened. “I miss you two too.” All her sleepiness went away. She

added, “But it’s getting late. You two have to go to bed and sleep, you got that?” Isabel pouted and said

meekly, “Ok” Liam took the phone and said, “Mommy, I bought binoculars for me and Sister, so we can

see you from our house.” Sylvia’s face brightened. “I bought one too! In that case, we’ll see each other

tomorrow with our binoculars tomorrow after kindergarten, okay?” “Alright.”

a

Isabel cheered, “Yes, yes, yes!” They talked for a little while longer, and Sylvia finally ended the call. After

the day she had been through, this certainly helped to alleviate her mood. She put away the painting

materials and called Sherry Fowler. Sherry Fowler was the owner of Lush Heaven. Although she was not

necessarily the most influential member of the Fowlers, she was still considerably well-connected. She

picked up very quickly. Her pleasant voice sounded through the phone. “Sylvia, why are you calling me

at this hour? Haven’t you slept yet?”

“Not yet. I need to ask you for a favor.” “What is it? Shoot.”

“I need help finding someone.”

“Who?”

“Alister, a colleague of mine. She’s been missing for two days, and I need to know where she lives.”

Sherry smiled and answered, “That won’t be a problem. Send me every information you have concerning

her.” “Alright.”
