Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 650

Chapter 650

Something warm glowed in Sylvia's eyes. Just as she was about to voice her opinion, a sharp and intent look surfaced in Thomas’ eyes. Even the very air around him seemed to solidify. He declared, “I'll see to it that he will not be reduced to poverty, so there's no need for you to worry about him or concern yourself with this news concerning the state of Carter Corporation.”

With that, he removed his finger from her lips. Sylvia smiled and thanked him sincerely, “Thank you, Thomas. I'll stop worrying myself over these matters.”

Now that she had Thomas’ word, she finally could stop worrying about Odell.

With Thomas’ help, it was very feasible for Odell to recover from this and make a comeback in the future. She only needed Odell to live through this and stand on his two feet so the children have a father to turn to.

She felt a weight lift off her chest. Finally, she could breathe easily again. Thomas turned up his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. Then he urged, “It's getting late, you should get some rest.” He rose.

Sylvia got up and offered, “Let me walk you out.” He swept a glance at her. “Alright.”

Cold tuffs of wind blew across the night sky. Sylvia had just stepped out of the doorway and a gust of wind swept past her and made a mess of her hair, sweeping them all over her face. She tried to pry her hair away from her face.

Thomas was one step ahead of her. He briskly gathered her hair into a small clump and tucked them behind her ears.

She turned to look at him.

He stood like a totem in front of her and gazed into her eyes.

The streetlamp shone on them.

In just one glance, she could vividly see his genuine feelings, passion, and fervent for her. Something flickered in her eyes. She tried to lower her head to avert his gaze. Thomas moved his hand from the back of her head to her chin and softly raised her chin to look at him again. Immediately afterward, he lowered himself and planted a light, gentle kiss on her forehead.

His lips were soft to the touch.

Sylvia felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her body stiffened and her eyes widened.

Thomas let go of her after the kiss. A faint red shade began to color his pale cheeks as he mumbled shyly, “Sorry, I couldn't hold back.”

She broke out into a hearty chuckle upon seeing him in this state. “It's okay. Hurry up and get home. Drive safely.”

“Alright.” With that, he turned and got into the car.

The silver car came to life as its engines rumbled.

Sylvia waited for the car to drive away before turning back to the house.

Meanwhile, across the dark road and underneath the shade of trees diagonally across her gates was a black car hidden from view. It had been parked there since Thomas and Sylvia returned home with the children and never left since.

There was nothing but dead silence inside the car. The air inside was stagnant.

The driver as well as Cliff who was seated in the passenger seat held their breaths and kept their mouth shut the entire time, afraid to even utter a single whisper.

In the backseat was Odell's broad figure. Through the car windows, he gaped at Sylvia who was just stepping into the living room

There was impenetrable darkness inside his eyes. His body exuded a bone-chilling air that made the driver and Cliff want to escape from the car and make a run for it.

After what seemed like forever, when the driver and Cliff were on the verge of suffocating, Odell suddenly broke the silence. “When are the shareholders holding their meeting?”

Cliff gulped and answered cautiously, “Tomorrow, at 3p.m. in the afternoon.”

Three p.m. tomorrow afternoon.

Odell glanced at the time on his watch, nineteen hours to go. He pressed his knuckles together and cracked his fingers one by one. The crunch of bones resounded in the car and echoed unendingly. He shut his eyes to suppress the vicious, murderous intent that felt like it was going to lunge out of his body.

After a while, he asked, “Is everything arranged?” Cliff promptly answered, “Everything has been arranged, all according to your instructions.”
