Chapter 663

Isabel picked up Sylvia’s hand and blew on her finger while chanting, “Pain, pain, go away.”

Sylvia could not help but smile. “Thank you, Isabel. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Then, she touched Isabel and Liam’s heads affectionately and said, “You two go and play while | help Aunt Tonya. Dinner will be

ready soon.”

“Okay,” Isabel answered obediently.

Sylvia walked the same way back to the kitchen.

Isabel looked at her figure walking away and muttered in confusion, “Strange, you can go directly to the kitchen from here. Why

does Mommy have to go around to the door to access the kitchen?”

when she said that, she raised her finger and pointed to a walkway that led directly to the kitchen.

Liam pursed his lips and did not say anything. A man’s straight figure sat on the sofa at the edge of the walkway. He looked in the

direction of the kitchen, and his expression darkened when he heard Isabel’s childish voice.

Before long, Sylvia and Aunt Tonya walked out with a pot of piping hot noodles.

While Aunt Tonya placed it on the table, Sylvia helped to set the table. Isabel and Liam came up with their bowls in an obedient

manner. Only Odell sat down, his deep and cold eyes still looking at Sylvia.

Nevertheless, she did not look at him and simply went about her own business. Although she wanted to kick him out, he was the

father of the little ones, and Thomas was still in his hands, so she could not mess with him too much.

After serving the children and Aunt Tonya, she gave him a bowl of noodles as well and placed it in front of him.

Then, she sat down herself.

The atmosphere was a little stiff as Isabel and Liam ate quietly and obediently. Aunt Tonya did not speak.

Sylvia also had nothing to say and ate with her head down. When she finished her bowl and raised her head, her gaze locked

with a pair of deep and dark eyes.

Odell was looking at her. The bowl in front of him was already empty. It was obvious that he had finished the noodles too.

Sylvia avoided his gaze and looked at Isabel and Liam. The children were still eating, but they were almost finished.

Thus, she watched the little ones until they were done eating and got up to clean up.

Aunt Tonya quickly said, “Go and rest, Syl. I'll handle it.”

“Aunt Tonya, you can go play with Isabel and Liam. I'll tidy up the kitchen,” Sylvia said and quickened her movements.

Before Aunt Tonya could react, Sylvia ran into the kitchen with a stack of dishes in her hands as if there was a wolf chasing her.

Aunt Tonya was stunned.

Isabel also tilted her head and muttered, “Mommy is acting strange today.” Liam looked in the direction of the kitchen and did not

say anything. Odell’s handsome face darkened again.

After entering the kitchen, Sylvia washed the dishes used one by one. Then, she tidied up the kitchen which was already very

clean. When she looked up at the time after an hour and guessed that Odell should have left, she took off her gloves and apron

and went to the door.

The moment she reached out and pushed open the kitchen door, a tall and straight figure appeared in her line of sight.

The man was leaning against the wall with his back to the door and his arms crossed in front of him. One of his long legs was

bent at the knee, and the other was straight. Despite his devil may-care posture, he exuded an aura of indifference and a strong

sense of oppression. Sylvia's pupils shrank. Then, she looked ahead, pretending not to see him, and took fast steps forward

“Stop,” he suddenly commanded.
