Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Odell was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Isabel and Liam miss you. Come over

quickly.

Hearing that she could go see the children, Sylvia immediately said, “Okay, I‘ll be right over.” She hung

up the call and was just about to put down her phone when she suddenly saw an unread message pop

up on the screen. It was the reply that Odell sent her when she sent the thank you message to him

twenty minutes ago.

He said, “Don‘t overthink it. I only picked you up for Isabel and Liam‘s sake.”

.

A short while later, he sent another message. “Also, if you dare to get drunk again in the future, don‘t

even think about seeing them again!”

Sylvia thought about what Sherry had said about Edmund and was a little scared. She replied,” Don‘t

worry. I won‘t overthink it. I wish you a Happy New Year, and that Tara and you will always stay together.

“I drank too much last night purely by accident. It won‘t happen again, but thank you for sending me

back.” After sending the message, she put on her clothes and went downstairs.

ALL

Meanwhile, at the old Carters‘ mansion, Odell sat on the sofa in his living room, looking at the message

Sylvia sent on his phone screen. When he saw her say she would not overthink it and wished that Tara

and he would always stay together, his brows furrowed. ‘I divorced her because of Tara, and she

targeted Tara multiple times. How can she be generous enough to give us her blessings? She must be

faking it.’ After a moment, he put down his phone, got up, and left the room. Downstairs, in the living

room, Isabel was wearing a red dress, and her hair was tied in two little buns.

UM

Liam and her, who were wearing matching clothes, were giving Madam Carter their New Year greetings.

Liam said, “Great–grandma, Happy New Year.” Isabel echoed, “I wish you happiness for the rest of your

life!” “Hahaha, awww. I also wish you two happy and joyful days.” Madam Carter smiled and took out two

envelopes from behind her, handing them to the kids, “This is a present for you. Keep it well.”

“Thank you, Great–grandma!” Isabel jumped into her arms and gave her a kiss. Then, she

opened the envelope and looked inside with wide eyes. There was a bank card and a few shiny little gold

bars.

After looking at the contents, she came up to Liam and asked in a whisper, “Liam, what‘s in

yours?”

“It should be the same as yours.” Liam put the envelope into the small bag she specially carried around

her waist.

Isabel hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. “Thanks, Liam, but I just want the gold bars. I‘ll keep

your bank notes for you first.” Liam stroked her head. “Sure.” To the side, Madam Carter was amused by

their serious appearances. Odell also came down the stairs at this time. His tall figure marched in front of

them while he looked at them with his hands behind his back.

.

Madam Carter saw this and hurriedly said to the children, “Liam, Isabel, wish your Daddy a Happy New

Year.” Isabel pouted.

‘Great–grandma said she‘s not as rich as Baddie. That means Baddie will give us more money than

Great–grandma.‘ However, when she thought of how Odell bullied her mother, she got annoyed again.

“Isabel, hurry up and greet your Daddy Happy New Year,” Madam Carter urged with a smile and even

winked at her. ‘Forget it. It‘s just saying Happy New Year. Isabel swallowed her anger, raised her chubby

face, and shouted, “Happy New Year, Baddie!” The words were supposed to be said as a blessing, but

her indignant look made it seem as if she was scolding him.

Madam Carter and the old butler to the side did not know whether to laugh or cry. Nevertheless, Odell did

not bicker with her and gave them an envelope each.
