Chapter 317

Screech!

The car screeched to an abrupt stop by the side of the street.

Sylvia was startled. She then noticed the gloomy gaze that Odell shot at her.

“Sylvia, do you really think I should be spending time with her? Or do you think that I’m joking about

wanting to marry you again?”

He had already decided to marry her again. Why would she think that he would have an affair with

another woman?

How bad of an image did she have of him?

His expression turned bitter, the frustration even causing the veins on his forehead to pop out. He looked

so grim that it was really terrifying.

Sylvia shrunk back in fear. “No, I didn’t…”

He cupped her face and asked, “Then what’s with that expression on your face just now?”

Sylvia tightened her lips, not daring to say a word.

Odell had been so angry that he had cupped her face and squeezed it hard before withdrawing his hand.

After letting her go, he sat back down in the driver’s seat and said in an annoyed tone of voice, “Sit

tight.”

He straightened his body and put his hands on the steering wheel. Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief as she

adjusted her posture.

The car then drove off steadily.

It was quiet throughout the journey. When the car finally stopped in front of Carter Residence, it was

already 9 o’clock at night,

Sylvia got out of the car hurriedly as she was worried about her kids.

Odell got out of the car after her and watched her rush inside, not knowing if she simply wanted to see

the kids or to avoid him. His brows furrowed as he watched her intently.

The words that Edmund had said to Sylvia back in that room still echoed in his head. He stood beside

the car for quite some time before he took a pack of cigarettes out and started smoking.

On the other hand, the moment Sylvia entered the living room, Isabel jumped into her arms. “Mommy,

why are you so late today?” The girl hugged her mother as she pouted. Sylvia kissed her on one of her

chubby cheeks and said with a smile, “Mommy had dinner with a friend outside, so I was late.” “Okay.”

The little girl was not overly bothered.

Sylvia smiled and held the little girl’s hand as they went inside.

Madam Carter was on the couch and so was Liam.

Liam was looking at his mother in anticipation.

Sylvia greeted Madam Carter first before she carried Liam and kissed him in the same way she had

done with Isabel. Liam’s thin lips curved into a smile. Sylvia wanted to accompany them to their room but

Odell came in from outside. Madam Carter and the two kids turned to him. Madam Carter noticed

something strange. “Odell, did you come home together with Sylvia?” Sylvia had arrived only a few

minutes earlier than him, so it was difficult for Madam Carter not to speculate as such.

Odell hummed in reply.

Madam Carter’s eyes gleamed and looked at Sylvia. Isabel and Liam also looked at their mother with big

round eyes. Sylvia’s eyes shifted but she did not say anything in reply. To her surprise, Liam suddenly

asked, “Mommy, are you wearing a matching outfit with Daddy?” Sylvia was taken aback. She then

realized she was wearing a white shirt and black pants, which was the same as Odell’s outfit. Moreover,

they had just got their registration papers earlier in the day. Thinking quickly, Sylvia smiled as she said,

“No, we’re just-” i “We just got our marriage registration papers just now.” Odell then tossed the papers

onto the couch. The living room went silent for two seconds before Madam Carter excitedly reached out

to take the papers for a closer look.

Even Isabel and Liam went over to have a look.
