Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290 Sylvia choked up, and she could not help but punch him.

Odell let out a low grunt, then hugged her tighter.

Unfortunately , she could not push him away and could only press against his chest. The pile of displeasure in her heart

gradually disappeared as she listened to his strong heartbeat.

She raised her head to look at him.

He had his eyes closed as if he was sleeping. His handsome face was very gentle , and his expression was much better than

before when he had been angry at her.

He was busy these days, but so was she.

She was now giving classes to students at the Art Academy. Although there were not many classes each week, there were

always miscellaneous tasks to complete. Furthermore, she was concerned about Grandma and the three children, so she would

go home to spend time with them whenever she could.

It may be true that she neglected him a little, but he was a man in his thirties. How could he bicker with her about something like

this?

Sylvia held back her anger and stopped thinking about it. She wrapped her arms around his strong waist, closed her

eyes against his chest, and soon fell asleep. Unbeknownst to her, when her hand wrapped around his waist, the man‘s eyes

opened. He looked at her rosy face, and his deep eyes softened while the corners of his lips curled up.

At least, she had some tact.

Odell was still very busy. He was already gone when Sylvia woke up the next morning.

Sylvia did not stay idle and accompanied Madam Carter and the three children to breakfast. After seeing Liam and Isabel off to

school, she gave Flint a few instructions before handing him over to Aunt Tonya and going to the Art Academy.

Two busy days passed.

That afternoon, at four o'clock, Sylvia came out of the academy after finishing her work.

Thinking that she had not seen the man for two days and the fact that she had not taken the initiative to contact him, she took out

her phone and called him.

The line rang twice before connecting, and the man‘s low and magnetic voice sounded. “Do you need something?”

His tone sounded pleasant as if he was quite happy.

Sylvia smiled and said, “Not really. | just wanted to ask if

you could spare some time later. | want to have dinner with you.” He replied, “Later is fine. You can come over.”

“Sure.”

Sylvia called Aunt Tonya and told the latter that she would not be back for dinner tonight, then she took a car to Carter

Corporation. She did not go inside and simply sat in the car in the parking lot and waited for him.

About ten minutes later, his tall and straight figure emerged from the elevator. The driver opened the car door for him, and he sat

beside Sylvia. He subconsciously held one of her hands and asked, “What do you want to eat later?”

Sylvia replied, “I've booked a restaurant. Let's go there straight.”

His eyes flickered slightly. “Sure.”

Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside a restaurant that served local specialties.

Sylvia had reserved a table, so they sat down as soon as they entered. The food was also ordered beforehand, and it was all

flavors they loved.

Soon after they sat down, the waiter served the dishes.

Sylvia asked him as she ate, “Are you free to come home tonight?”

Odell curled his lips. “Do you want me to come back?”

Sylvia’s face heated up. She avoided his eyes and replied,” | was just asking. If you're busy, then forget it.”

He laughed. “I have a dinner party tonight, but I'll try to come home early.” “Oh.”
