Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Sylvia held her frustration back and said, “No. I still have paintings to finish.”

Odell went quiet.

“If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up.” “Mm-hmm."

His voice sounded a lot softer, but it did not stop Sylvia from hanging up. Right when Odell wanted to put his phone away, his screen lit up.

It was a call from Tara.

His brows furrowed a little before he answered the call.

Tara's soft voice echoed in his ears. “Odell, are you here yet? I'm ready.”

Odell immediately remembered that he had promised to go out with her tonight,

“I'm on my way.” “Okay.”

Late at night, when the shops and malls were closed, the streets were lit up only by the street lamps.

A black sports car sprinted out of the wealthy district and headed towards Lake Victoria Villa.

Tara looked at him with a heavy heart. “Odell, aren't you going to stay tonight?”

“No. I have something to do back in the office.”

"Okay." Her face fell.

Odell raised his arms around her for a hug. He whispered softly, “Go have some rest.”

“You too.” Then, Tara tiptoed and gave him a kiss on his lips.

To her surprise, Odell froze for a millisecond. A strong sense of rejection gushed into his mind, forcing him to tighten his lips.

Fortunately, he was able to suppress the unusual feeling and turned around to his car.

The black sports car drove off quickly.

Tara was left alone at the entrance as she watched the sports car disappear beyond her sight, The expression on her face changed.

He was still the same man that she knew. He spent a lot of money on her and accompanied her shopping. They even ran into several acquaintances earlier, and when they saw how loving and caring he was to her, their eyes almost popped out in shock and jealousy.

She could not allow Sylvia to snatch such a great man from her.

Back at home, Sylvia had just come out from the bathroom after cleaning herself up.

Just when she was about to go to bed, her phone rang.

It was a message from one of the chat groups of the Westchester Art Association. She thought it was some kind of event notification, so she tapped on it. However, she found out that there were several members flattering and praising Tara. “This is my first time seeing Master Carter himself. I did not expect him to be so handsome in real life. He's even better looking than the celebrities. Tara, you're such a lucky girl.” “Master Carter is really generous as well. He even paid for our bills.” “It's all because of Tara. We have to thank her.” A bunch of messages was expressing their gratitude for Tara. Tara then answered the compliments and replied, “We are friends. You guys don't need to be so courteous.” “Tara, you're such a kind person. No wonder Master Carter loves you so much.” “I have to say Tara is born lucky, and we can only be jealous of her.” After being bombarded by a ton of aggrandizing praises, Tara replied, “Haha, you guys will meet your Mr. Right as well.” “I've given up already. My ex cheated on me even though he’s not rich.” “My ex ran away with another girl.” Tara replied, “You guys, don't be like this. It's just that you haven't met the perfect man. If you do, no matter how many temptations or seduction out there, your man won't give up on

you.”

Her statement attracted a question. “Tara, given how perfect Master Carter is, I'm sure there're a lot of women after him.”

“I'm sure there is. He is a reputable person after all. There was an evil woman who tried to separate us before with all kinds of ill schemes.” “What happened then? Did she do it?"

"Of course not. If that woman succeeded, Tara wouldn't be with Master Carter now.”

Tara explained, “Yeah. No matter how hard that woman tried, Odell did not fall for her. I even pity her at times.”
