Chapter 662

Odell stroked her head and said gently, “I was delayed by some stuff.” “Fine. I'll forgive you this time.”

He smiled and asked, “Have you and your brother been well behaved at home these days?”

“Of course. Liam and | are the best.” The father and daughter chatted idly. The air was many times more relaxed than when they

were in the car.

Sylvia’s expression also gradually relaxed, but she still avoided him from afar. Then, Isabel's stomach suddenly rumbled. She

pouted and whined to Sylvia, “Mommy, I’m hungry.” Sylvia asked, “What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you.”

“| want to eat noodles. Mommy, please cook more!”

“Sure.”

Sylvia did not want to see Odell anyway, so she turned around and went into the kitchen.

Not long after she entered, Aunt Tonya also came in. Aunt Tonya walked up to her and helped her prepare the ingredients,

asking in a low vo Syl, why did you come back with him? Where’s Thomas?”

Ice

Sylvia frowned and said, “He left because something came up.”

Aunt Tonya would be frightened if she were to know that Odell locked Thomas up. “Then, how did you and Odell meet?” she was

still puzzled.

“| bumped into him at the door.”

“| see.” Aunt Tonya stopped asking but lowered her voice again to say, “Syl, | heard Sebastian say that Carter Corporation is

completely fine and that the incident before was all part of Odell’s plan. Did you know about it?”

Sylvia hummed. “I saw the news on my phone earlier.” “I really thought that Carter Corporation would collapse. | didn’t expect it

to all be a part of his plan.” Aunt Tonya sighed and said, “How is he so powerful at such a young age?”

Sylvia did not say a word. She also did not expect this crisis to be part of his plan. Moreover, his methods were more powerful

than she imagined.

Suddenly, Aunt Tonya whispered into her ear, “Don’t tell him about Thomas and you. I’m worried that he’ll bully you again if he

finds out.”

Sylvia’s body instantly froze.

“Oh, Aunt Tonya, not only does Odell already know but he’s even locked Thomas up.’ She lowered her head silently and focused

on making the noodles. However, when she was cutting the vegetables, she accidentally sliced her finger. The skin broke, and

bright red blood

flowed out.

Before she could react, Aunt Tonya exclaimed in fear and pushed her out of the kitchen.

Sylvia did not want to go out, but she could not resist and had to leave the kitchen.

In the living room, Odell was sitting on the sofa with Isabel in his arms while Liam was sitting beside him. Perhaps because they

heard Aunt Tonya’s yell, they all looked over when Sylvia came out.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Isabel asked with a crisp voice. Sylvia put her hands behind her back, avoided Odell’s gaze, and said

to Isabel and Liam, “I’m fine.”

Then, she went around them to the other end of the living room where the first aid box was kept. She took out the antiseptic

solution from the box, cleaned the wound, and wrapped the Band-aid around her finger.

“Mommy, what happened to your hand?” Liam’s childish voice suddenly sounded. Sylvia turned her head to see him standing

behind her with his small eyebrows furrowed. Her gaze flickered, and she said with a smile, “I accidentally cut my finger when |

was chopping the vegetables earlier. It’s just a small cut, so don’t worry.”

Liam was still frowning.

At that moment, Isabel ran over. She heard the conversation between Sylvia and Liam earlier. She ran to Sylvia, looked at her

finger, and said with a pout, “Mommy, how could you be so careless?” 1 Sylvia quickly assured them, “I'll be more careful next

time.”
