Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Sylvia ran to her home in one breath and immediately locked the door. Then, she called

Tom and said, “Tom, if you see a group of people with dyed hair coming over tonight, just call the police.”

Tom hurriedly asked, “Ms. Ross, did you meet a bad guy?” Sylvia panted. “Something like that, but don‘t

worry about it.” “Okay.”

After instructing Tom, she went back to her room at ease.

She immediately called Sherry and asked her about Edmund.

She told Sherry about how Edmund brought people to block her way.

Sherry was stunned. “What? That can‘t be. I just had a phone call with him this afternoon. He‘s one of

my regulars, so I‘m sort–of friends with him. He asked me something about you this afternoon, but he

told me that he won‘t cause trouble for you.” Sylvia said suspiciously, “Then why did he bring people to

block me at the intersection?” Sherry thought about it and asked, “Did he do anything to you?” “No, he

just made me buy clothes for them and treat them to dinner. I ran back home while they were eating.”

“Okay, I get it. They‘re just trying to scare you.”

“Really?”

“If he wanted revenge against you, you wouldn‘t be able to get away. Don‘t worry about it.” Sylvia was

immediately relieved. “Thank goodness.” After hanging up the phone, Sylvia looked at the door again.

There was no one there. Then, she simply washed up and went to bed. The quietness in her ears made

the scene of being trapped in Odell‘s arms and forcibly kissed come to her mind..

When she brushed her teeth and washed her face, his breath still seemed to linger in her nostrils.

She turned over in annoyance. It was only after tossing and turning for half the night did she manage to

fall asleep.

Early the next morning. Sylvia heard Isabel’s voice before she opened her eyes.

“Mommy, Liam and I are here!”

Then, they pushed open the door and ran in.

The little girl took off her shoes and crawled to the bed. Sylvia smiled and sat up, picked Liam up as well,

and hugged them in bed for a while before getting out. Then, she played with them all morning. After

eating lunch, the little ones looked at her, reluctant to part.

The little girl pouted and said, “Mommy, Liam and I have to go out with Great–grandma in the afternoon,

so we have to go back soon.”

The Carter family had many relatives and friends, so it was only natural for Madam Carter to want to take

them out and about. Sylvia smiled and stroked their little heads. “You guys go with Great–grandma. It‘ll

be lively over there.” Isabel hummed and asked, “Remember to come find us in the evening.” Liam and

her both looked at Sylvia expectantly. Sylvia instantly thought of the scene of being kissed by Odell last

night. There was something wrong with that man. She was afraid of seeing him again. After thinking

about it, she said, “Let‘s talk about that later when you guys come back with Great–grandma.” “Okay.”

The little ones obediently followed Ben and Jacob back.

Sylvia stood by the door and watched them leave. When they were far away, she went upstairs to the

painting room.

She took out her paints and easel and started to paint.

Before she knew it, it was evening.

It was only when Aunt Tonya came up to call her for dinner that she stopped painting.

After eating, the time was exactly 7:50 p.m.

Sylvia took her phone and called Isabel.

It took a while before the call connected.

Isabel asked sweetly, “Mommy, why are you calling?”

Sylvia smiled and asked, “Have your brother and you gone home with Great–grandma?”

“Not yet. We‘re having dinner with Great–grandma at Granduncle‘s house.” Isabel suddenly lowered her

voice and said, “Mommy, did you know? Granduncle‘s grandson is super duper handsome.”

Sylvia was speechless. It was no wonder Isabel sounded so excited. Before waiting for Sylvia to say

anything, Isabel continued, “I‘ll talk to you later, Mommy. I’m gonna go play with my cousins.”

Sylvia could only say, “Have fun.”
