Chapter 331

The Carter residence had three floors.

There was a sunroom with a very good view on the third floor. Sylvia’s studio was moved there.

It was clear that the place was specially made for her.

All the painting tools she brought with her were neatly arranged.

Sylvia stayed there for the entire day.

She did not go downstairs until the two little ones came back from school in the evening.

Madam Carter and Aunt Tonya had gone out for a trip in the morning and would not be back for about a

month.

The old butler and two maids accompanied them

There were not many people left at home, but it became very lively as soon as the little ones came back.

Isabel, especially, chattered about the interesting things that happened in preschool that day, while Liam

occasionally put in his own two cents. Sylvia simply smiled and listened to them.

Odell came in just when they were chatting happily. He was still wearing the same clothes he left in the

morning. His coat was draped over his hand, and his shirt and pants hugged his tall and upright figure.

“What are you all talking about?” he asked.

Isabel was in a good mood and replied, “We’re talking about preschool.”

Odell picked up Liam, who was sitting on Sylvia’s right, sat down in that seat immediately, and placed

Liam to his right instead.

He obviously wanted to join their chat. Sylvia’s eyes flickered, but she said nothing. Isabel continued to

chatter away.

Only Liam, who was carried away, frowned a little.

After they had enough talking, they had dinner.

When dinner was over, Odell had some stuff to take care of and went to the study.

Sylvia played with the little ones for a while.

When they were tired, she accompanied them back to their bedroom and gave them a bath.

The little ones put on matching yellow duck pajamas after showering.

Sylvia tucked them into bed.

The two children responded obediently. Then, when she went to Odell and her room, she saw the little

ones following behind her like little ducklings.

Sylvia could not bear to chase them away, so she brought them in as well. She said, “You two go to bed

first. Mommy will go take a shower and come out in a moment.”

“Okay.”

The children cried obediently.

Sylvia took her clothes into the bedroom.

Just then, Odell came back from the study. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Isabel and

Liam playing in Sylvia and his bed. Liam was playing with a small toy. Isabel lay on his calf and held her

mobile phone, watching a show. They completely regarded the place as their territory. Odell’s expression

sank for an instant. “Ahem.” The little ones looked at him. Their eyes were innocent with no trace of a

guilty conscience.

“Where’s your mother?” he asked. Liam replied, “Mommy is taking a shower.” Odell looked in the

direction of the bathroom and then back at the children. They were still sitting in the middle of the bed,

continuing to do their own thing. Odell said in a low voice, “Your mom and I are going to rest soon. Go

back to your rooms.” Isabel and Liam looked up at him at the same time and lowered their heads again.

“Isabel?” he called her.

Isabel immediately put away her phone, got under the quilt, and clutched the hem tightly. Her expression

seemed to say, “You can’t take me away.” Then, Odell looked at Liam. “Liam?”

Liam said, “I’ll be where Mommy is. If you insist that we go back to our room, we’ll wait for Mommy to

come out and go back together.” Isabel poked her head out of the quilt and echoed, “Uh-huh.”
