Chapter 774

Isabel pouted while Liam frowned.

Odell’s expression darkened.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little tense.

Sylvia keenly perceived the change in Odell’s expression and thought that he was not happy with her staying or coming back the

next day. She quickly said, “Don’t worry, Odell. | won’t disturb you. I'll leave when they're asleep. | promise to leave before it gets

dark tomorrow onward.”

Odell was speechless.

When did he say that she was disturbing him?

With anger stuck in his chest, he gave her a sidelong glance, stood up, and headed upstairs. He was gone in the blink of an eye.

Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the children. “Let’s go back to your room.”

Soon, they went back to the children’s room. The room was still decorated just like before, and their bed was very cozy.

Sylvia lay in the middle with one arm around each of them.

“Mommy, | don’t want you to go,” Isabel wliined in a soft

voice.

Sylvia whispered, “Isabel, do you know about your Daddy and Aunt Lily?”

Isabel pouted. “I know. They’re engaged.”

“That’s why it’s not appropriate for me to live here anymore. If | stay here, it'll make others misunderstand. It’s not good for

Daddy’s and my reputations,” she explained patiently.

Isabel hummed.

Liam's eyes also darkened.

Sylvia quickly said, “But I’m still your Mommy, and your Daddy is still your Daddy. Even if we're not together, we’re still your

Mommy and Daddy who love you the most.”

“Mommy, you won't leave again, right?” Liam suddenly opened his dark eyes and looked at her.

Sylvia instantly replied, “No, | won't leave again.”

“Promise!” Isabel suddenly shouted. She was obviously so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes, but she still tried to be

energetic.

Sylvia smiled and said to them seriously, “I promise. | won't ever leave again. If | break my promise , then I'll become a little pig.”

“Hehe...” Isabel giggled.

Sylvia hugged them affectionately. When Isabel stopped laughing, she said, “It’s late now. Go to sleep.”

The little ones obediently closed their eyes.

After a long time, when they were both asleep, Sylvia got out of bed. She grabbed her coat, walked out of the room, and headed

straight outside. Passing by the courtyard, she met Sebastian. She smiled and greeted him before continuing onward. Suddenly,

Sebastian asked her, “Did Tonya come back?”

Sylvia’s eyes flickered, and she said, “Aunt Tonya is sick and is still recovering in Galston. She can’t come back until she’s well.”

“How did she get sick? Is it serious?” Sebastian asked.

Sylvia replied, “She’s much better now. She'll be able to come back when she recovers.” He sighed with relief. “That’s good.”

“Sebastian , if there’s nothing else, I'll get going now.”

“Of course. Take care.”

Sylvia walked straight out.

At that moment, on the open balcony on the second floor, the strong figure of a man stood in front of the railing. He held a glass

of wine in one hand while looking at Sylvia's distant figure.

When she left by car, he turned around and returned to the bedroom . He put down the glass and went straight into the

bathroom.

After washing up, he went to the bedside and picked up his phone.

More than twenty minutes had passed since she left. She should have arrived home at this point.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and sent her a message. “What are you doing now?”

Ding.

She swiftly replied. “I just arrived home and am preparing to wash up. Do you need something?”
