Chapter 781

Sylvia frowned and replied, “Yes, but | went there to be with the children. | didn’t do anything besides that.”

“You're a woman who runs to your ex-husband’s house every single day and stays late into the night. How is it that you do

nothing but spend time with the children?” Ramona was furious at the direct look that Sylvia was giving her and glared at her. “I

think you’re truly contemptible and shameless!” Sylvia’s body turned cold and she immediately clenched her hands.

Seeing that Sylvia continued to look as if she had not done anything wrong, Ramona sneered, “Stop pretending to act noble in

front of me. If you hadn’t done anything, you wouldn't have followed Thomas abroad and come back with a big belly. If you have

any shame, then stay away from Odell. He has a fiancee now. You’re not even bothered about maintaining your own virtue. How

dare you try to steal Lily’s man?” After saying that, she barked at her driver. “Hurry up and drive. Just looking at her makes my

eyes feel dirty.” The driver immediately closed the door and returned to the driver’s seat.

The high-class MPV quickly drove away and disappeared.

Sylvia stood where she was.

She could not even be sure whether it was because the wind was too cold, but her body felt like it was freezing.

The words Ramona had said were like a magic spell that continued to reverberate in her head.

‘Shameless.

‘Contemptible and shameless.

‘Not bothered about maintaining your own virtue.

‘Just looking at her makes my eyes feel dirty...”

Every word was like a sharp and icy thorn.

The more Sylvia thought about it, the more her body stiffened up

After a long time, she finally came back to her senses when her phone rang. Isabel was calling her.

Her hand trembled as she brought the phone to her ear.

“Mommy, where are you? Why aren’t you here yet?” The little girl’s crisp and childish voice sounded out.

Sylvia’s tense body suddenly loosened. She smiled and said, “I was a little delayed by something. I'll be right over.”

“Okay, then hurry up. Liam and | are waiting for you.”

“Yeah, I'll be there soon.”

Hanging up the phone, Sylvia took a deep breath and went to the roadside to hail a cab.

When she arrived at the old Carter residence, she found that Odell had already left. Isabel and Liam ran over to

her.

Both their faces were adorable.

The moment Sylvia saw them, her mood eased greatly.

However, what Ramona had said continued to ring in her head from time to time.

She really could not stay here until late anymore. If Lily, Odell’s fiancee, found out, she would definitely be unhappy. Thus, when

it was time for Isabel to do her homework in the afternoon, Sylvia did not let her play anymore but patiently coaxed her to do her

homework.

However, the little girl still wanted to play and kept acting like a pampered child.

Sylvia could not bear to be strict with her, so she made up an excuse and said, “Isabel, be a good girl and do your homework. |

have to go home early at night, or your little brother or sister will be uncomfortable.”

Isabel's eyes widened. “Why would my little brother or sister be uncomfortable?”

Liam also looked over.

Sylvia said stiffly, “Because | have to rest early. It’s not bad for the baby if | rest late.”

Actually, she would accompany the little ones to nap here every day, so she had enough daily sleep. When Isabel heard this, she

pursed her small lips, and her chubby face immediately looked contrite. “Mommy, did you and baby not rest well before?”

Sylvia quickly said, “No, | was fine before. | just didn’t feel well rested these past two days.”
