Chapter 285

It was a text from Sylvia.

“Odell, I’m already at home. Stop calling me. I know it’s due to pure impulsiveness that you want to marry

me again but I do not wish for that. I have no more feelings for you. What happened last night was

merely an accident. I’ll just pretend that it was just a bad day and I was bitten by a dog. You should also

forget about it. “We both have our separate lives to live and it would be better for us to maintain our

distance. May you grow old with Tara.”

After going through the message, a layer of frost seemed to have come upon Odell’s face. She said that

she did not want to marry him again and had no feelings for him anymore.

She said it had just been an accident and had even referred to him as a dog.

That was all Odell had gotten from the message. He put his phone away and stepped on the

acceleration pedal.

Night had fallen.

Back at Sylvia’s place, after Aunt Tonya had prepared dinner, she called Sylvia down to eat. Sylvia went

down and sat at the table. After having some warm food, she felt a lot better. It was at this moment that

Tom’s painful grunt came from the door. Sylvia bolted up in shock and went outside with Aunt Tonya.

They found Tom curled up in pain on the ground with Odell beside him. Odell walked past Tom and

approached the entrance. He loosened his collar, a grim look on his face. His towering figure made him

look like a bloodthirsty monster.

He was the one who had beaten Tom up.

Sylvia’s face turned pale.

Aunt Tonya quickly pulled Sylvia behind her back and shouted, “Odell, what are you doing? Sylvia didn’t

do anything wrong. I won’t let you touch her!” Odell frowned and looked at Sylvia.

Sylvia’s eyes shifted a little before she pulled Aunt Tonya behind her. She said to Aunt Tonya, “Aunt

Tonya, don’t worry. He won’t hit me.” Then, she took the initiative to approach the intimidating man and

said, “Odell, I already made myself clear in the text message. Go home. There’s nothing to talk—Wait!

What are you

doing? Put me down!” Odell carried her up without saying a word and turned around. “Odell, put her

down!” Aunt Tonya anxiously chased after him, but given her age, she could barely keep up with Odell’s

pace even if she ran. Then, Odell tossed Sylvia into the car, locked it and drove away. The car drove out

of the residential district moments later.

Sylvia anxiously fastened her seatbelt and cautiously looked out the window.

Judging by the direction, it looked like Odell was heading for the old Carter Residence again. She

screamed, “Let me out! I don’t want to go there!”

The car accelerated.

Sylvia gasped to suppress her anger and said, “Odell, can you please stop? Let’s talk about

this.”

Odell kept his eyes on the road. His expression remained frosty but the car obviously slowed down.

Sylvia sighed and said, “I know I lost control of my emotions in the text. I shouldn’t have referred to you

as a dog. Please forgive me.” The car screeched to a stop at the side of the street. Just as Sylvia was

about to catch her breath, her seat was suddenly lowered, bringing her down with it.

The man’s towering figure then climbed on top of her and overwhelmed her with the size of his body.

His size was large enough to overwhelm her. Sylvia quickly put her hands in front of herself and

screamed, “Odell, stop it! Let’s talk, please don’t do this!”

Odell stared at her with a frosty gaze. “So, you said that you were only venting your emotions in the

text?”

Thinking quickly, Sylvia answered, “A part of it.” “Which part?” “The part where I referred to you as a

dog.”

“What else?”

“That’s it.”
