Chapter 536

Sylvia gave a troubled look They walked out of the restaurant together and strolled along a path leading back to the academy

Sylvia spoke her mind, “Thomas, please let me pay the bill next time.” Although she was divorced from Odell, she still considered

Thomas her younger brother

Furthermore, he had rescued her not once but twice in her times of greatest need She simply did not loow how she could ever

repay the favor she owed him, and she certainly could not have Thomas paying for her food

“Yeah.” He grunted.

Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, they reached the academy office, beside which was his office

After saying their goodbyes, the two of them went back to their respective offices.

Since Sylvia did not teach academic courses, her classes had a looser structure.

She had prepared everything in advance, and the students had very good dynamics with her as well. The two classes she taught

turned out to be very relaxing and productive.

The two classes flew by in the blink of an eye. She returned to the office, ready to pack her things and head to the kindergarten

to pick up Isabel and Liam.

However, she stumbled into Thomas again when she was leaving her office

He wore a crear-colored coat over his white shirt, the drape of the fabric perfectly complementing his lanky figure. He could

easily pass for a model. Sylvia asked him with a smile, “Thomas, are you done for the day as well?”

“Yeah.”

“Where do you stay?” “I stay in the school dormitory.” After a pause, he looked at her and asked, “What about you?”

“| live in the area.” Sylvia looked at the time and saw that she was running late, so she hurriedly said to him, “See you. | need to

pick Isabel and Liam up from kindergarten.”

“See you.”

Sylvia turned and trotted in the direction of the stairs,

Thomas stood like a statue and quietly observed her figure from behind.

Sylvia arrived at the kindergarten just as their classes ended.

Isabel and Liain walked out together holding hands as usual. They trotted toward Sylvia the

moment they saw her

Delighted to see them, she kissed them on the checks and took them home

As always, Sylvia played with thein for a wuleafter dinner, then she told them bedtime stories and waited until they fell asleep

before heading back to her room

In Carter Tower, Westchester City, it was already midnight, but the lights in the office on the top floor were still turned on

There was a tall figure of a man sitting on a leather chair, illuminated by the ceiling hghts After reviewing the final document, he

looked at the watch on his wrist He zipped his lips into a line and swung the chair around to face the window He looked at the

night view of the city. the tint in his eyes as black as the night sky

Knock knock

There was someone at the door

Odell called out, “Come in.” Cliff opened the door and walked in cautiously

“Master Carter, you've already arranged everything for the next half month Do you want to go back and get some rest?” Odell

pursed his lips, “How are things over there looking like Cliff did not need any further elaboration to know that he was talking

about Sylvia

Since he and Sylvia divorced, he had been in the office almost every day from top to bottom. everyone from the managers to the

janitors was wracked with nerves, knowing that they had to face the man every hour of the day.

Upon hearing this, he informed in a servile way, “Noi much, the missus stays home most of the time as usual. She went to the art

academy today. It seems like she was recently recruited as a guest professor at the academy”

Guest professor? That was hardly surprising. With her talent and reputation, she was more than qualified to become a guest

professor.

Aglimpse of a grin appeared in the corners of his thin lips as he informed, “I'll be sleeping here tonight as well, so you can head

back.”

Chiff answered curtly. “Yes, sir”

Sylvia only had two classes a week at the acadeiny, one on Monday and the other on Thursday. thus she had plenty of time to

herself
