Chapter 628

After the call, Sylvia went back to bed and tried to nap with the children.

For some reason, she did not feel even the slightest hint of sleepiness. The only thing that continued to turn over in her mind was

the picture she had seen on the Internet of Odell getting drunk

This was completely contradictory to everything that she knew of him so far. For someone as composed as him to resort to

alcohol, the Carter Corporation must truly be facing an unprecedented crisis, the likes of which he could not navigate his way out

of.

Sylvia rolled over with an irritated frown.

They were already divorced. Even if she were to put aside everything that happened between them in the past, the single

episode where he had chosen to save Tara while being held at gunpoint himself should be enough to fortify Sylvia’s opinion that

she had nothing to do with him anymore! She could not care less even if he died!

Despite that, she found herself in a turbulent, irritated state.

Even after Liam and Isabel had both woken up, her mind was still in the same haphazard state.

When the children woke up, they were still drowsy from sleep. Isabel groggily burrowed herself into Sylvia’s arms while Liam

pressed himself against her as well.

Sylvia sat up and took them both in her arms. She took a deep breath and inhaled their warm, soft scent, and found it to be very

therapeutic. When it all came down to it, that man was their biological father. He had been a dutiful father to them and nobody

could tell her otherwise. If not, Isabel who had once disdained him would not be talking about how much she missed him now.

Alarge part of her concern for him had to be because of her two little ones. When she thought about it this way, she felt a sense

of relief. However, even by the time night time rolled around, she still could not fall asleep. She tossed and turned in her bed but

she still did not feel tired. Putting on a robe, she went to the living room to make herself some soothing tea to help her sleep,

when she bumped into Thomas who had just returned.

He was good-looking as ever and was wearing a black tuxedo that gave him a dignified air. His expression suddenly softened

upon seeing Sylvia, “Why haven’t you gone to bed when it’s this late?”

“Can't sleep,” Sylvia answered and then returned with a question of her own, “Why are you coming back this late at night?”

“| was held up by something.” He drew closer to her as he said this and touched her head,” Let's have some supper together.”

Sylvia was quite accustomed to his touch by now and answered with familiarity, “Alright.”

She was not going to sleep anytime soon anyway.

Thomas must have given advanced notice to the kitchen staff.

Shortly after they sat down, the chef presented them with their supper.

Sylvia ate with him.

After a while, a thought suddenly occurred to her and she remarked, “Thomas, I'd like to take Isabel and Liam out tomorrow.”

Thomas paused and asked, “Where are you taking them?”

Sylvia answered him truthfully, “I want to take them to meet Odell.” Thomas looked at her, with the same unchanging expression

in his eyes. Sylvia met his gaze and explained, “I saw the news today about the Carter Corporation’s troubles and | saw that he’s

been drinking.”

“Are you worried about him?” He asked.

Sylvia promptly replied, “There’s no longer anything going on between us, but | can’t deny that he is the father of my children. |

don’t want to see him wasting away like this. Maybe if he gets to see Isabel and Liam tomorrow, he might feel better and find the

strength to pick himself back up.” “What about you?” “What about me?”

His brown eyes seemed to bore into her, “Do you want to meet him?”

Sylvia answered briskly, “No, there is no need for us to meet.”

She was not his true love. She was only taking the children to meet him because he was their father.

Thomas pursed his lips, “Okay, I'll take you there since I’m free tomorrow anyway.”

“You should rest at home. I'll just take a taxi.” Sylvia did not want to cause him any unnecessary inconvenience.

Thomas frowned and his voice suddenly dropped by several pitches, “Do you still see me as an outsider?”

Sylvia quickly clarified, “No.”
