Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 310
Sylviaâs gaze flashed, and she replied, âI was stuck in the traffic, so I got delayed.â
It was nonsense. She was late because explaining those things to Simon took some time.
Odell sized her up and said, âGo prepare your documents quickly and change into suitable clothes.â
Sylvia hummed and walked through the door, with Odell following closely behind.
Sylvia had put all her crucial documents in a storage box. She found them soon after she went into her
room.
Holding her documents, she looked back at the man who walked toward her as she thought of
something. âOdell, did Tara call you?â)
Tara did not want them to remarry, and she must have tried to stop them. Odell narrowed his eyes. âHow
did you know that she called me?â Sylviaâs gaze flickered, and she replied, âI guessed it.â Odell looked at
her and said, âShe did, but I hung up.â Sylvia was a bit surprised. âWhy didnât you take it?â She
remembered Odell saying that Tara was the one who accompanied him through his darkest times and
was important to him.
âNo need to hurry. I could still call Tara back after we register.â Sylvia muttered, âIt wonât take much time
to pick up a call.â âWhat? Do you want me to take her call so much?â Odellâs gaze sharpened at her.
Sylvia subconsciously avoided his gaze and replied, âNo. Iâm just asking.â Odellâs gaze darkened, and
then he said, âGo change quickly.â Sylvia walked into her cloakroom and changed into a white shirt and
black slacks. After that, she glanced at herself in the mirror and walked out.
The moment she walked out, Odell held her hand in his big hands.
Sylvia had yet to react when Odell dragged her out of the room. She quickly said, âMy documents!â âIâve
taken them for you.â Odell waved the black leather bag in his other hand. Sylvia pursed her lips and
walked out with him. They got in his car and soon, the engine started. Not long after, they stopped
outside of the City Hall.
Looking at the door to the City Hall, Sylvia suddenly recalled the scene when she first got their marriage
certificate with Odell many years ago.
He had a cold face, looking as if any extra second spent with her was torture. It was because he
was coerced into marriage at that time.
Although Sylvia wanted to be with him, she was also tormented during that experience.
She remembered that when they were in front of the City Hall, she even said to him, âLetâs call it off if
youâre unwilling. Iâll explain to your father and the others.â
Odellâs expression did not ease after that, and hé glanced at her gloomily instead, speaking in a cold
voice, âWhat will you explain? Explain how we were on the same bed? Or get them to threaten and
reprimand me again?â
Then he dragged her into the City Hall, his force strong enough to break her wrists.
The night they registered their marriage, Sylvia moved into the Carter family, and then he gave her the
silent treatment for two or three years⦠Suddenly, he patted her head. Sylvia came to her senses and
saw the man that was looking at her. Odell had gotten down from the car and opened the door for her.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his voice was still gentle even though he sounded a bit displeased.
âWhat are you zoning out for? Get down the car.â Sylvia sucked in a breath and looked at him, asking,
âOdell, are you sure you want to marry me
again?â
