Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 675

Chapter 675

The man's tall and straight figure walked in from the main gate on time. In the living room, Sylvia saw him at a glance and immediately said to Aunt Tonya and the children, “I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You all eat first. Don't wait for

me."

Then, without waiting for them to react, she ran upstairs swiftly.

Aunt Tonya was dumbfounded. The two little ones raised their heads in confusion as well. Just then, Odell walked in.

Aunt Tonya was the first to react and smiled dryly. “Dinner is ready. Come and eat.”

Isabel hummed and walked over with Liam. Odell's face was expressionless as he sat at the table with them.

Meanwhile, Sylvia had already returned to her room. She went to the window and painted something out of boredom while paying attention to the movement outside.

Almost half an hour later, the sound of footsteps came from the door of the living room downstairs.

She half-crouched down to peek outside. However, just before she could see the tall figure, a cell phone ringing came from below. She remembered it as his ringtone, and she held her breath. Downstairs, the man who had just stepped out of the living room put the phone to his ear and asked indifferently, “What is it?"

On the phone, Jacob reported in a low voice, “Master Carter, our man secretly watching Second Master Carter said that he hasn't eaten since he returned yesterday morning.”

Odell froze.

'Is he going on a hunger strike? Who's he trying to prove himself to? Does he think that I'll be soft- hearted and dispel my suspicions?’ He said coldly, “Leave him be. Tell me when he starves to death.” He hung up the phone and lifted his long legs to walk outside. Upstairs, in Sylvia's bedroom, she remained in a half-crouching position and soon saw his tall figure walking out the door.

However, her brows were knitted together. She could not relax after having heard the conversation on his phone earlier.

“ls someone on a hunger strike? The tone of his reply was so indifferent and even seemed a little disgusted. It's clear he doesn't care about whether that person lives or dies.’

Sylvia suddenly thought of Thomas.

Ordinarily, he would send her a few messages even if he did not come to find her. However, two days had passed now, but he had not sent her a single message.

'Is it because Odell and ... provoked him that night?” Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Sylvia turned her head and looked over. Isabel and Liam stood outside the door in tandem. Isabel's little chubby face squeezed in, and her childish voice asked sweetly, “Mommy, are you done?”

Sylvia knew that she had come to call her for dinner. However, her mind was filled with the words Odell had uttered on the phone. After a moment of hesitation, she smiled at Isabel and said, “I still have to work for a while.” Isabel pouted. “Then, hurry up. The food won't taste good if it's cold.” "Okay. Go ahead and play with your brother. I'll eat when I'm done.” “Okay.” The little girl obediently went back to her brother's side. Liam's deep eyes looked at Sylvia for two more seconds before leading his sister away. Sylvia sat sullenly on the floor and took out her phone to send a message to Thomas. She asked, “Thomas, are you okay?” However, he did not reply even after twenty minutes. She frowned and called him directly. The line continued to ring and finally connected during the final ring.. Sylvia quickly asked, “Thomas, what are you doing now? Are you okay?" “I'm fine, don't worry,” he replied. His hoarse voice was obviously permeated with weakness.
