Chapter 427

Odell glanced at her before picking up his cutlery to eat.

Sylvia started eating as well, taking big bites as she went along.

While she was not exactly crude, she was not exactly eating elegantly either.

Sylvia quickly finished her food. She then set down her spoon and turned around to begin moving back into her wheelchair.

Odell furrowed his eyebrows at her. “You're done eating?”

Nes

He pursed his lips at her short reply.

Sylvia then wheeled herself back into her bedroom.

Odell instantly lost all his appetite so he stood up and went to Madam Carter's room.

He sat down on the chair by her bed and looked at Madam Carter. Then, he asked Violet, “What has she been doing recently?”

Odell was obviously referring to Sylvia.

Violet replied, “Mrs. Carter has been making wood carvings recently.”

I

Odell pursed his lips tightly before saying, “It's getting late, you should sleep soon.”

Sylvia did not say anything but continued with her carving.

A few moments later, Odell's face darkened and he asked in a low voice, “ Did you hear what I just said?”

“I did.”

“Then why aren't you preparing to sleep?”

“Because I don't want to.”

As Sylvia spoke, she carved away at the wood block and her gaze was also focused entirely on it. Her tone when answering Odell was cool and calm, not bearing the slightest emotion.

It was as if she was talking to a stranger.

Odell felt an unexplained sense of annoyance.

He snatched away Sylvia's carving knife and spat coldly, “Go to bed now!”

Sylvia's body stiffened.

A moment later, she answered “Okay.” Then, with the support of a cane, she went to wash up in the bathroom

Her face did not shift in the slightest and was completely devoid of emotions. It was as if she was a marionette.

Odell angrily shouted, “Stand there!”

Sylvia immediately stopped walking.

Odell stared at her back and ordered, “Turn around and look at me.”

Sylvia did as she was told, her cold gaze meeting his fiery one.

Odell walked right up to her and grabbed her chin. Then, he snarled, “Do you plan on acting like this around me from now on?"

Sylvia replied, “If you're unhappy about it, then divorce me.”

Odell's expression turned cold and his grip around her chin tightened. “Are you still thinking about Edmund Price?"

“If you want to think that way, I can't stop you.”

“Then don't even think that you'll be able to see him again.” He stared at her coldly. “As long as you're still breathing, I won't ever divorce you!"

Sylvia's eyes stayed blank and emotionless. It was as if even if he dislocated her jaw right now, she would still feel no pain.

So with this threat, she felt nothing at all.
