Chapter 51
Odell suddenly said, “No way.” Sylvia’s expression changed.
Madam Carter was shocked by this decision as well. She asked with a tone of discontent,” Odell, Sylvia is their mother. Why can’t she take them out to play?”
“I’ll take them out tomorrow,” Odell answered her crossly. Madam Carter twitched and pressed further, “Wouldn’t it work if both you and Sylvia took them out to play then?”
Sylvia pursed her lips.
Odell shot a glance at Sylvia. “We’ve been divorced for some time, so it’s inappropriate for us to go out together.
This troubled Madam Carter. “Both of you are the children’s parents. What’s so weird about that?”
Odell finally admitted, “I’ve already told Tara that we’re bringing the kids out to play tomorrow.”
Madam Carter’s expression harshened and she scoffed unhappily.
Sylvia also furrowed her eyebrows. It was not so much that she could not tolerate the idea of her children spending time with Tara, but she was just rubbed off by how calculative Tara was.
Furthermore, there was not a chance in hell that Tara even liked her children.
Now, it was Sylvia’s turn to object, “I won’t allow it.”
Odell frowned, thinking that his ears were fooling him. “Come again?” He had been generous enough to let her see the children every day, so how dare she object? Sylvia was intimidated by the cold look in his eyes and knowingly stayed quiet.
At the same time, the children could not take it anymore.
Isabel began shouting at Odell, “What are you being such a jerk for? I don’t want to go out with you and that ugly lady!”
After her outburst, she turned to Liam beside her. “Brother, do you want to go?”
Liam replied almost without hesitation, “Nope, I don’t want to.” They were adamant about this decision. Both turned their cheeks at Odell with a displeased expression, refusing to yield to his dictating force.
Odell froze for a moment.
After a moment, the corner of his lips turned up into a smirk. “Sure, but both of you will not be allowed to see your mother again from here on.”
Isabel and Liam immediately responded with shock.
Isabel gasped. “You jerk, what else can you do other than threaten us with this?!”
Liam pursed his lips with a contemptuous look.
Nonetheless, Odell did not seem bothered. He had long become immune, perhaps due to how often these brats had gotten on his nerves
He laughed audaciously and declared, “The choice is yours.” Isabel snorted and turned to Madam Carter for help. “Grandma, do something about him!” Madam Carter chuckled dryly and went to Isabel. “Isabel, don’t be angry. I’ll take care of him later.”
She wanted to give Odell a stern talking to, but her reproach did not have much effect, to begin with. Otherwise, Odell would not have divorced Sylvia three years ago. Isabel knew that Madam Carter was
only saying this to pacify her. She turned around and went back to her room, puffing with rage the entire while.
Liam shot Odell a surly look before following his sister back to the room.
In the end, Madarn Carter could only look at Odell helplessly. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Odell was casting a cold look at Sylvia with a faint, arrogant smile. Although he did not utter a word, his expression conveyed what words did not. They were saying, “You have no power here.”
Sylvia clenched her teeth and swallowed her anger
“Grandma, I’m going to check on Isabel and Liam,” she told Madam Carter before going to the children
Meanwhile, the children were fuming When Sylvia entered, Isabel was in the middle of complaining to Liam about Odell. She was persuading Liam to release all the pictures they had taken of Odell previously
