Chapter 649

Thomas smiled at Sylvia. “There’s this new children’s clubhouse that opened in the new district. There are all kinds of activities

going on there which I think should be very fun for Isabel and Liam.”

With Isabel being so excited, there was no reason that Sylvia should refuse. She turned to Liam and asked, “Liam, do you want

to go?”

He stared blankly at Thomas.

Isabel was worried Liam would not want to go and quickly urged, “Liam, lets’ go. Lets’ go!”

Liam gave a curt answer, “Okay.” Sylvia turned to Thomas and smiled faintly. “Alright Thomas, we'll leave in a bit.”

“Alright.”

Just as Thomas described, there were all kinds of fun activities in the children’s clubhouse. There were even some high-tech

installations that offered virtual gaming experiences such as the spacewalk simulator. Isabel had a blast. Even Liam enjoyed

some of the simulations. There was also an escape room designed for a family-sized group. There were several tricky stages,

but Thomas and Liam managed to effortlessly solve the puzzles. Even Isabel, who was always obsessed with messing around,

managed to find important clues so they could pass the level. Sylvia barely had to contribute anything and they all made it out.

The day came to a close before they realized it. The sky had darkened by the time they stepped out of the clubhouse.

Thomas drove in the driver's seat.

Sylvia and the children were seated in the backseat. The children were worn out from the day’s activity and fell asleep next to

Sylvia shortly after getting in the car.

Even Sylvia was a little exhausted after they left the clubhouse. She was absent-mindedly scrolling through her phone when she

saw another article on Carter Corporation that immediately jolted her awake.

It was quiet inside the car. She peered outside the car windows and looked at the cityscape at night.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the house.

Thomas turned to the backseat and announced, “Sylvia, we’re here.”

Sylvia immediately recollected herself. They carried a child each and took them back to their room to settle in for the night.

Then, the two of them went to the living room.

Aunt Tonya smiled very politely and cheerily at Thomas. “Thomas, sit down and have some

tea.”

He answered politely with a friendly smile, “Sure.”

He sat on the couch.

Sylvia was going to walk him out and was not expecting Aunt Tonya to invite Thomas for a cup of tea. She ended up sitting on

the couch as well.

After Aunt Tonya set the brewed tea for them, she informed dutifully, “Take your time, you two. I’m going out for a walk.”

N

With that, she vanished.

Sylvia pursed her lips meekly. Thomas turned to her. “You don’t look very good. Are you tired?” She avoided his gaze and

answered, “Maybe a little.”

He drew closer to her, making sure to still keep a respectable, short distance from her. Then he broached the topic. “Carter

Corporation is on the news again. Have you seen it?” She did not lie to him and grunted, “Yeah.” “Looks like my brother is still

shacked up at Lush Heaven.” She frowned. “I guess so.” As she said this, she felt the cool touch of his fingertips pressed against

her brows. She slowly turned to him and met the soft gaze in his eyes. He was gently massaging her brows and temple. “You're

frowning. Are you worried about him?

“I'm not,” she said defensively. He smiled. “I won’t be angry. | just don’t want you to be in a bad mood because of him.” “Thomas,

you don’t have to be so good to me, 1 —

Before she could finish, her voice was muffled by his finger pressed against her lips.

She zipped her lips shut.

He looked at her tenderly. “Even though | don’t have a legitimate profession, the projects | have invested in these years have

paid off remarkably well. | also have shares in Carter Corporation, so | managed to save up a decent amount of money this way.

Even if Carter Corporation goes down, | will do what | can to help Odell. He’s my brother after all.”
