Chapter 468

Sherry could not help but giggle at the girl. She was not mad at the kids at all.

“I’m sorry, SyL.” She looked at Sylvia apologetically. She had promised Sylvia to keep her existence a secret

and shut off all possible news that might lead to her discovery.

Sylvia smiled. “It’s alright. It’s not your fault.”

She would never have thought that Liam would be smart enough to search Violet’s chat history with her and

even devise a plan to use Sherry to bring them to her.

The two little rascals were not at all guilty even after their schemes were exposed. They even clung to Sylvia

tighter than ever.

Isabel curled her tiny arms around her mother’s neck and nuzzled against her cheeks.

Liam also sat closer to his mother. His big eyes also showed an obvious sense of delight.

Sherry pinched the kids’ cheeks once more before she left them with their mother.

After nuzzling their mother for a while, Isabel asked, “Mommy, why are you hiding here?”

Sylvia furrowed her brows and said in a small voice, “Mommy got into some trouble, and I have to handle all of

them before I can go back to you guys.”

“But the people outside said you are dead, and so did Aunt Tonya and Uncle Sebastian. That ugly

woman wants to marry big meanie and she visits Great-grandma frequently. She even cooked for me

and Bro but we are too smart to fall into her trap.”

Her tiny mouth was ceaseless when she mentioned Tara.

Sylvia could not help but giggle at the girl’s enthusiasm. “Isabel and Liam, you are the smartest.”

Isabel giggled shyly when hearing the praise.

Liam then asked, “Mommy, Daddy said you fell into the lake. Why did you fall into the lake?”

He looked up at his mother and stared at her with a curious gaze.

Sylvia’s gaze shifted. “I accidentally fell into the lake.”

She was not trying to defend Tara, but she did not want her kids to know how malicious a person could

be at such a young age. If she revealed the truth, she might traumatize their growing minds.

Liam pouted and stopped with his question.

Isabel then took over and continued, “Mommy, how long more are you going to stay here for?”

“Soon. When I handle everything, I ’ll go back to you guys.” A quick thought later, Sylvia continued, “But

before I return, please keep this a secret. Promise me, don’t let anyone else know I’m here.

Okay?”

The two little rascals chorused in the same voice, “Okay.”

While they wore a determined look on their puffy faces, Sylvia wore a gratified smile.

Later that evening, Odell returned home earlier than usual.

He brought Isabel and Liam’s favorite snacks home, but when he entered the living room, he only saw

Aunt Tonya and Sebastian. The two little rascals were nowhere to be found.

“Where are Isabel and Liam?” he asked.

Sebastian answered, “Isabel and Liam went out with Ms. Fowler, Sherry Fowler.”

“Sherry Fowler?”

“Yeah. Maybe they just want to go out and have some fun. Since they remembered Ms. Fowler, Tonya called

her in the afternoon, and Ms. Fowler happily brought them out.”

Odell had a glance at his watch. It was almost 6 p.m.

“Did no one follow them?”

“Ben went out with them.”

Odell pulled his phone out and called Ben. The call got through right away.

“Are Isabel and Liam coming home now?” he asked.

Ben answered in a small voice, “Isabel and Liam are still with Ms. Fowler.”

“Where are they?”

Ben stuttered, “T-They are at Lush Heaven and I think they are still sleeping.”

Odell’s expression turned grim. “Keep an eye on them. I’m coming over.”

“Yes, sir!”

Odell put his phone away and stormed out of the door.
