Chapter 834

Sylvia made a look and smiled silently.

Odell watched her and could not suppress the urge to draw his face closer toward her and kiss her lips.

After sharing a brief kiss, Sylvia drew her hand toward his neck and gently nudged him away.

Odell frowned and stared at her unhappily.

Sylvia suddenly brought up. “I just remembered something.”

“What is it?”

“If the engagement wasn’t real, why did you go on a date with her two days ago?”

“Who told you that | went on a date with her?” he expressed angrily.

Sylvia informed, “Isabel and Liam told me that you didn’t go home to see them on New Year's eve.”

Odell pinched her cheek and explained, slightly upset,”After you left that night, | went to Lush Heaven right away. | ended up

drinking too much and fell asleep there.”

Something gleamed in her eyes. “Oh.”

That was right. On the day of New Year’s eve, he came to visit her and ask her if she still loved him.

Odell narrowed the look in his eyes and looked at her with a wicked expression. “Anything else?”

Sylvia pursed her lips and brought up. “Why did you hang up on me yesterday afternoon ? Was it because you were angry with

me?”

Odell’s expression changed. “You called me yesterday afternoon?”

“| can’t remember when exactly because | was very dizzy at the time, but | remember very clearly that | called you at one point

and you hung up on me the moment the call connected. | fainted after that.”

Odell took out his phone.

Noting this, Sylvia also went to get her phone underneath the pillow. She went to her call logs and found the record of her calling

Odell. The information on the call log displayed that the call was not connected.

“Here, look.” She turned the screen to him.

Odell looked at the phone and immediately after that, his eyes darkened.

He proceeded to open the call log on his phone instead.

There was nothing indicating an incoming call from Sylvia from yesterday afternoon.

During that general timeframe yesterday, he was still in Lush Heaven with Lily by his side.

“What's wrong?” Sylvia asked carefully when she noticed the change in Odell’s demeanor.

“What's wrong?” Sylvia asked carefully when she noticed the change in Odell’s demeanor.

He answered solemnly, “She must’ve hung up on you.”

“She? Who's she?”

“Lily.”

Sylvia was floored by this.

Odell turned to her.,”| wasn’t awake when you called me. She was by my side.” ..

“Oh,” Sylvia only muttered weekly.

Sensing the change in her mood, he quickly clarified, “She came by after | fell asleep after getting drunk. | didn’t even know she

was there and only saw her when | woke up.”

All of the misunderstandings between them stemmed from the fact that he never told her that his engagement with Lily was all a

tuse this entire time. He decided that there would be no more secrets between them.

Sylvia's eyes gleamed.

“Oh.”

She seemed very satisfied to hear this.

Odell narrowed his eyes, then he lowered himself toward Sylvia and kissed her again.

He pressed his weight on Sylvia, and she sank into the pillow.,

She did not have the strength to resist his passion. Her hands were bound by him so there was no room for resistance to begin

with. She took it all.

Even after some time, he still refused to let go of her and only increased the intensity of his kiss. He kissed as if he was trying to

vent his pent-up emotions.

Sylvia was quickly losing breath and grunted in a muffled voice.

Odell finally let her

She quickly opened her mouth and gasped for air. That was when she noticed that Odell’s eyes were glowing red like he was

holding back tears.

She asked with concern,“What's wrong?”

“Why didn’t you come to see me?”

“What?”

He held her face gently. “I've been waiting for you in the hospital for two days. Why didn’t you see me? Is it because you thought

it was inappropriate just because I’m engaged to Lily?”

Sylvia realized what he was talking about. She met his gaze and confessed, “I went.”
