Chapter 249 “Because I said so.” Sylvia ignored him. Odell said angrily, “Why aren“t you saying anything?” “There's nothing I have to say.” “Do you not understand what I'm saying?" . “Yeah, I don't.” Odell was speechless. His chest suddenly felt even more stuffy. After a long time, he said, “If I find out that you came into contact with him again, you'll never see the children again.” Then, he hung up the phone. In Sylvia's residence. She sat on the bed and cursed at the phone, “Lunatic.” The next afternoon, Sylvia bumped into Edmund when attending an activity held by the Art Association. The event was open to the public, so anyone could participate. Sylvia did not expect Edmund to come. It seemed like he was really interested in art. She explained the event to him. When it was over, it was just in time to have dinner. Edmund said to her, “Lil Syl, it's getting late. Let me treat you to dinner.” Sylvia did not think much about it and simply agreed. The weather was very cold, and it was also snowing. It was a great time to eat barbecue. Sylvia brought him to a cheap BBQ restaurant with good reviews and sat by the window. They chatted while eating. Edmund asked, “Lil Syl, why didn’t you bring the kids today?” Sylvia responded, “It's cold, so I didn't bring them.” The activity was held outdoors. Sylvia was worried that she would freeze them. He smiled and said, “I miss Isabel a lot. Next time you take them out to play, you have to tell

1. me. I'll treat them to delicious food.” Sylvia thought of Odell’s words on the phone last night, hesitated, and replied, “We'll see.” She did not continue the topic. The BBQ was quickly finished. Edmund said that he still owed her a lot of meals, so he rushed to pay. It was not that expensive, so Sylvia let him go. It was still snowing outside. On the way to the parking lot, the snow flattened and became a layer of slippery ice. While Sylvia was talking to Edmund, she accidentally slipped on the ice and fell to the ground. She landed in a funny position. The next second, she heard Edmund's laughter. “Pfft- Hahaha!” Sylvia could not help but glare at him. Edmund immediately stopped helping and bent down to help her up from the ground. “Are you okay, Lil Syl?” Sylvia still remembered that he laughed at her. Her eyes flickered, and she deliberately moved a few steps to the side. Edmund tried to follow her. Then, he stepped on the spot where she had just slipped. With a thud, he also fell to the ground comically. Sylvia laughed. On the ground, Edmund was speechless. He looked at her bright smile and was stunned. It was the laughter of the other passers-by behind them that snapped him out of his reverie. He stood up and pretended to be upset, raising his eyebrows at her. “Lil Syl, how dare you trick me? You must be tired of living.” “It was you who laughed at me first,” Sylvia replied and asked, “Are you okay?” “I've survived bullet-ridden battlefields before. Of course, I'm okay.". As they spoke, they arrived at the parking lot. Sylvia said goodbye to him and got into her car. Edmund leaned against his car door and watched her drive away. He took out a cigarette and put it between his lips, narrowing his eyes in a smile. “She's an interesting woman. Even if she’s Odell's ex-wife, I need to have her.’
