Chapter 286

Odell reacted grimly. “Odell, calm down and think about it for a second. You love Tara and you

should be with her. You shouldnt think about marrying me again,” Sylvia said. She then added in a

small voice,” Sailing on two boats is wrong.”

She refused to marry him again or become the third wheel in their relationship.

Odell stared at her deeply. After a long moment of silence, he said, “Tara is important to me but I've

already made it clear to her. I will take care of her but not in a romantic way.” Sylvia was shocked

“You broke up with her?” He pursed his lips and wore a vague smile. “Sailing on two boats is

wrong.”

Sylvia scoffed awkwardly. She said, “But you spent the whole afternoon with her.” He had to be

lying. If he no longer loved Tara, why would he show that much patience with her?

Odell answered, “She overdosed on sleeping pills. If I had not gone over, it might not have ended

well for her."

Sylvia clicked her tongue scornfully. “As expected of her, ruthless as usual.”

Back then, Tara had even been willing to roll down the stairs in her efforts to lose her baby, just so

she could separate Sylvia and Odell.

Now, in order to take back her man, she had attempted suicide.

Sylvia began to admire Tara's dedication.

Thud.

Odell suddenly flicked her forehead and stared at her coldly. “Do not badmouth her.”

Annoyed, Sylvia argued, “I want to, and I willl”

Odell frowned and shot a stern look at her.

Sylvia chuckled. “Look at you, you still care about her, yet you said that you love me. You are a bad

liar.”

Odell furrowed his brows tightly.

He was more certain than ever that it was Sylvia that he had feelings for but he also understood why

he cared so much about Tara.

A while later, he said, “Tara is important to me.”

“Then go look for her. Stop forcing yourself onto me!” Sylvia wanted to push him away.

However, Odell grabbed both of her dainty hands and pinned them above her head.

Sylvia was petrified.

Odell finally softened his stern expression after Sylvia had calmed down. He then said, “She

accompanied me through many tough times. Even if I don't love her anymore, I will make sure she

lives a great life.” Sylvia frowned. The tough times that he was referring to was when his stepmother

had oppressed him and had almost snatched everything from him. Before he and Sylvia had even

gotten married, Tara had already entered his life and tried to win his heart. Therefore, it only made

sense that the two had been through a lot.

Unfortunately, it sounded sour in Sylvia“s ears. She too had liked him since they were young. When

they had been married for those two short years, she had tried her best to try to ease things

between him and his stepmother as well.

However, all that was in the past now and she no longer wanted to remember them. She said, *

Then you should keep your promise and protect her for the rest of your life, not do this to me.”

Odell’s brows remained furrowed. He said deeply “Sylvia, I'm explaining myself in a very serious

manner.”

"Well, I'm serious too,” Sylvia looked into his eyes and continued, “And, I don't love you anymore.”

Her voice was flat as she looked at him calmly.

She made it sound so easy when she said she no longer loved him.

Odell's face fell. He stared at her quietly. Sylvia also boldly stared back at him. Things went quiet for

a long time in the car. Some time later, he asked coldly, “Then, who do you love now? Edmund?

Tristan? Or some other man that I don't know about?"

Sylvia frowned. She could understand if Odell claimed that she loved Tristan. But, Edmund?

She and Edmund were merely acquaintances. In any case, none of that mattered. She answered him

calmly, “There isn't anyone that I'm interested in now.” He grinned. “That means you still love me.”

Sylvia was rendered speechless. She emphasized again, “I said, I don’t love anyone now.” “Okay, you

don't need to find any excuse for yourself. I understand.” “I'm not! I really don't —" Before she could

spew the word “love’, Odell silenced her by pressing his lips against hers. With Sylvia's hands pinned

above her head and his strong body right above her petite one, there was no chance for her to

escape.
