He kissed her again.

After a long kiss, he finally let go of her and pinched one of her cheeks, which was flushed either due to anger or shyness. He

narrowed his eyes dangerously. “If you refuse to speak properly, I'll make sure you can’t speak anymore.”

Sylvia was rendered speechless.

She glared at him. “Why didn’t you take me along to the dinner?”

Odell was surprised. “Did you want to go?”

Sylvia tightened her lips. “No.”

“Then why are you mad?”

“Did you even think about bringing me along?”

Or had he assumed that she could not be taken out in the public because she would embarrass him?

Odell narrowed his eyes and flicked her forehead. “What is in this little head of yours? Who told you that | didn’t bring you along

because | didn’t want to?”

Sylvia pouted.

He continued, “I didn’t bring you along because | didn’t think you would want to go. | was only attending as a courtesy so there’s

no point for me to take you there.”

Sylvia’s spirit lifted and she hummed in reply.

Odell then rubbed her forehead. “Did that hurt?”

Sylvia giggled. “No.”

It had sounded loud but it had not hurt.

Odell narrowed his eyes as he looked at her sharply. “How did you know | had a dinner to attend?”

He had mentioned a meeting, not dinner.

Sylvia’s lips tightened and she said, “I overheard your conversation with Lily yesterday and | received a text from Thomas just

now.

Odell’s expression turned grim. “What did he send you?” Sylvia took her phone that she had left by the bed and showed the

message to him. “I blacklisted his number, so he texted me with a new one.”

Odell looked at the message from Thomas and his expression grew even grimmer.

Thomas knew that he had not brought her to the dinner and had planned to use this to sabotage their relationship again.

Thomas was indeed a persistent man.

However, when Odell saw the message that Sylvia had sent back in reply, his anger faded. He even found it amusing.

However, he did not reveal his amusement. Instead, he continued to aim a cold look at her. “Why didn’t you tell me when he

texted you?”

“| called, but you didn’t pick up,” she said immediately.

She sounded confident this time.

Odell pursed his lips.

Sylvia stared at him.

“The music at the dinner was loud so | missed the call.”

Loud?

“Did you guys dance?” she asked with a frown on her face.

Odell saw the unhappy expression on her face and hummed in reply.

Sylvia continued to glare at him.

Odell could not help but kiss her on the lips. Then, he whispered, “They danced, but I didn’t.”

“Hmph.” Sylvia refused to look at him.

Odell stroked her cheek with a smile and then got out of bed. “I'll go make a call. I'll be right back.”

“Why are you using my phone?” Sylvia asked as he was holding her phone.

Restraining the frostiness in his eyes, Odell said, “I’m getting this unregistered number checked out.”

Sylvia nodded in silence.

He walked to the balcony and Sylvia buried herself under the quilt.

She had no idea who he was asking for help but it took him quite a while before he came back.

As his footsteps approached, Sylvia shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

At the next moment, she felt a heavy pressure on her body. She grunted.

Before she could say a word, her lips were covered by his.
