Chapter 211

Chapter 211 Sylvia was just about to head towards their room. “Stop,” he commanded. Sylvia looked at

him again. “Do you need anything else?”

He shot a cross look at her. “It‘s only half–past five. Who let you come here at this time?”

Sylvia formed a line with her lips and was about to say something when Madam Carter‘s sharp voice

came from inside the house, “I did!” Immediately after that, she appeared at the bend around the

corridor. Odell grimaced.

Sylvia‘s eyes lit up, and she immediately went to the madam‘s side. Madam Carter smiled and said to

her, “Syl, Isabel and Liam are changing in the room. Go check up on them.” “Alright, Grandmother,”

Sylvia answered and head up the stairs swiftly.

Madam Carter then shot a displeased look at Odell. “Didn‘t I tell you this afternoon that Syl is coming for

dinner? Why are you talking to her like this? She‘s just here to spend time with the kids and it shouldn‘t

bother you. If it bothers you so much, you can feel free to leave!”

Sylvia, who had just climbed up the stairs, frowned when she overheard this and cast a look behind her

shoulders.

Obviously, Madam Carter was furious. Odell stopped drinking his tea and wore a wilted expression on his

face. Sylvia muttered a silent curse at him before entering the children‘s room. Liam was wearing a small

suit with a red bow tied around the neckline. He was standing behind Isabel, helping Isabel zip up the

back of her dress. With the fabric wrapped around her chubby frame, it was a rather adorable sight to

see. Sylvia waited for him to zip up the dress before calling out to them, “Liam, Isabel, I‘m here.”

“Mommy!”

The children turned to look at her in unison.

Isabel was the first to pounce on her, her white dress fluttering in the air.

Sylvia kissed them one after the other, then went to the living room with them.

Madam Carter was chatting with the old housekeeper, and Odell was still there. Upon seeing that Sylvia

and the kids were down, they all turned in their direction.

Madam Carter exclaimed with pride, “Oh, who is this darling? How is she so cute?”

Isabel ran to her and threw herself into Madam Carter‘s arms.

The butler followed up with a compliment, “Young master and young miss look wonderful today.” Isabel

answered cheerfully, “Thank you, Uncle Maxworth! You look young and springy today

too!”

The butler was greatly entertained by this compliment.

Madam Carter chuckled heartily before turning to Odell. “Odell, why don‘t you say something?”

Treni

Isabel turned ceremoniously to Odell as if to say that she would never let him hear the end of it if he did

not compliment her. Odell announced dryly, “Yes, very pretty indeed.” Isabel turned her nose up at him,

“You do have taste after all.”. Madam Carter burst out laughing in response to this. The housekeeper and

the other housemaids laughed as well. The room was filled with a cheery air that even Sylvia began

laughing along That was until Odell‘s cold and harsh gaze suddenly fell on her. Sylvia grimaced and held

back her smile. She immediately became uneasy. She was just laughing along; it was the others who

had started it to begin with. It was clear as day that this man did not have the guts to confront Madam

Carter, which was why he targeted her! Sylvia turned away from him with stark contempt and faced him

with her back as she continued to chuckle with the others.

Odell‘s expression darkened. He rose and approach Sylvia in just a few large steps. Sylvia was taken

aback by this sudden move and stumbled backward.
