Chapter 714

It lasted until Odell took a sip of his coffee. He said to Lily, “These are all my suggestions.”

Lily's gaze changed. She quickly said, “Okay, Young Master Carter. I’ll have them make the changes after | return.”

“Mm.” Odell put down his cup. “Let’s end our conversation here.”

When Lily saw that he was about to stand up, so she said right away, “Wait.”

Odell looked toward her.

Lily smirked. The admiration in her gaze at him could not be hidden. “Young Master Carter, | just took over my family’s business,

so there are a few things that | don’t know how to handle. Can | get some guidance from you?”

Odell frowned. “You’ll know how to handle those matters after you work for some time.”

As he spoke, he was going to stand up. “I haven’t told you about the questions yet, Young Master Carter,” Lily called him and

looked at him with anticipation. “Can you give me a few more minutes? | promise that | won’t delay your time for too long.”

Odell glanced at the time.

He had been there for almost 20 minutes. He was not worried about Liam. On the other hand, Isabel did not like to read or study.

He had confiscated the phone she liked to play with. He did not know whether she would be obedient or not.

However, a few minutes only meant exchanging a few sentences.

After a moment, Odell looked toward Lily. “You can talk.”

The corners of Lily's mouth curved up. She smiled and asked him, “Young Master Carter, what will you do if you meet someone

who made your heart pound during work?”

Odell immediately replied, “I’ve never been attracted to anyone during work.”

“It's just a hypothetical question.”

“There are no ‘ifs’.”

Odell said, “Does Ms. Springsteen have any other questions?”

Lily smiled again. “Can | have a meal with you tonight?”

“I'm not free tonight...”

Smack.

Sounds were coming from behind him all of a sudden.

Odell was interrupted. He turned his head and had a look.

He saw the two kids, who were supposed to be studying in his office obediently, behind him.

Isabel had slipped and fallen on the floor. Liam’s hands were placed below her armpits as he tried to help her get up.

Seeing that Odell had discovered them, their actions stiffened. They looked toward him with big eyes.

“Young Master , Young Miss, why are you here?” Lily’s surprised voice rang. Isabel got up with help from Liam. They walked to

Odell’s side. Odell was looking at them with a stern expression. Isabel quickly let out a “hmph”. “Baddie, didn’t you say you'd

come downstairs and be back soon? Why are you talking about love with this aunty? Are you going to have an affair again?” She

got even more confident as she spoke.

Odell felt a lump in his throat.

Lily's expression stiffened. After a moment, Odell stood up and carried Isabel in his arms.

He turned back to look at Lily. “Ms. Springsteen , | think you should consult other people on this question.”

Lily smiled awkwardly. “Sorry for troubling you.” Odell did not say anything else. He exited while carrying Isabel.

Liam turned around to look at Lily. Then, he went after them.

Lily sat at her place. Her expression was stiff and awful.

Did they not know that their mother had left with Thomas?

Even if they did not know, they should not have eavesdropped on adults like that. How impolite of them!

Odell quickly brought Isabel and Liam back to his office.

On the way, he explained that he and Lily were merely business partners several times.
