Chapter 787

“Oh, okay. Hold on, I'll be right out.”

Sylvia then hung up the phone.

She then looked at Isabel and Liam.

The girl pouted and said, “Mommy, are you leaving now?”

Sylvia hummed in reply and stroked the little girl’s head. She then looked at Odell.

Odell was still reading his book on the couch but he was looking even grimmer than before the phone call.

Sylvia was some distance away from him, so she did not notice the change of expression on his face. She said, “ Odell, | have to

go out for a while.” Odell looked at her. “What else is more important than accompanying your kids?”

His voice was cold and he sounded slightly unhappy.

Sylvia explained, “I’ve promised President Dendro that | would attend Master Springsteen's event. They are already outside the

gate so | have to go.”

An event hosted by Master Springsteen? It had to be related to art.

It was true that Sylvia had to reconnect with the outside world, so Odell approved her outing.

The cold look on his face eased as he said, “Fine. Go.”

Sylvia felt relieved upon hearing his approval. She then kissed her kids on the cheeks before walking out of the door.

Shortly after she left, Odell’s phone rang.

Lily was calling.

His brows furrowed to express his annoyance but he answered the call nonetheless.

Lily’s soft voice came through the phone. “Master Carter, are you free later?”

“No,” he said.

Lily awkwardly froze for a moment before she forced a smile and said, “I haven’t even told you what this is about yet. Why don’t

you hear me out first before rejecting me?”

“What is it then?”

“Grandfather organized an art event and invited a lot of artists and collectors. Would you be interested in dropping by?” His gaze

shifted. “The event organized by Master Springsteen? Is it today?”

“Yes. It'll be starting in 30 minutes at the hotel ballroom near the academy.”

“Okay, I'll be there.”

The call ended.

He got up and shot a gaze at Liam. “I’m going out. You stay home with your sister, do you hear me?”.

Liam asked, “Where are you going? Are you going to meet Mommy?” Odell gave the boy a sidelong glance and said, “Just take

care of your sister and yourself.”

Liam's gaze shifted and hummed in reply.

Odell then retrieved his jacket from the side of the door and left the house.

Meanwhile, at Springsteen’s place, an MPV drove out through the mansion’s gate.

Lily and Madam Springsteen sat beside each other. Both of them had fur wraps around their shoulders.

Lily had frowned after Odell had hung up on her.

Madam Springsteen asked, “What's wrong? Is he not coming?”

“He’s coming.”

However, Odell’s answer had been extremely quick. Madam Springsteen smiled and asked, “Then why the long face?”

“Nothing.”

The man had very likely agreed to attend the event because he knew Sylvia was going, hence the speedy reply.

Regardless , Lily was confident that she would show him that they were made for each other!

Sylvia walked out of the house and saw Christopher and Simon waiting for her on the roadside.

They smiled warmly at her and she did the same. Christopher said with a smile, “Come on, get in. The event starts in 30

minutes.”

“Okay,”

Sylvia got into the car with the two gentlemen.
