Chapter 47

The fun lasted for the whole day at Astroland.

Isabel got so carried away that she did not even want to have lunch. It was Sylvia who had to carry her
away and force her to eat something to maintain her stamina.

Later in the afternoon, Isabel finally became tired but still did not want to leave. She dragged Liam to
the doodling area where they started to draw all kinds of stuff with the paint provided.

Sylvia noticed that the kids started to settle down, so she grabbed a piece of wooden plank and started
doodling on it.

Isabel sneakily smeared paint on Liam’s face when he did not notice.

Stunned, Liam did not expect his sister to ambush him with paint.

Isabel chuckled when she saw her brother’s messy face.

Sylvia heard the little girl’s chuckle. She turned around, but to her surprise, Isabel’s hands, covered in
paint, caught her face.

She used to play a lot of similar games with the little girl back then, so it was not surprising. She held
her laughter back and feigned annoyance as she said, “Girl, you’re so done for!”

In response, Isabel also feigned fear and started running.

Sylvia covered her hands in paint and started chasing her.

Isabel ran around Liam in circles, and it took Sylvia several rounds before catching up with the little
rascal.



The girl noticed her mother catching up to her, so she turned to Liam and said, “Help me, Brother!”

Liam remained seated. His face was still covered in paint when he crossed his arms with a grin. He
was waiting for her to get caught by their mother.

Isabel knew that her brother was not going to help her, so she stuck her tongue out before running
outside.

Sylvia chased after her.

Odell heard the little commotion outside the doodling area, so he got up to have a look. He then saw
Sylvia chasing Isabel with the little girl chuckling as she ran. Sylvia also wore a big smile on her face as
she tried to catch up to the little girl. Isabel ran closer to her father while Sylvia continued chasing her.

Odell stood there and watched.

Knowing that it was impossible to outrun her mother, Isabel screamed at her father when she saw him.
“Big baddie, save me!”

For some reason, Odell stepped in and joined the mother-daughter’s paint war. He stood in front of
Isabel.

Sylvia almost got Isabel and failed to react in time when Odell stepped in, which caused her to

bump into his chest.

Odell barely budged, but Sylvia faltered backward. Frightened, she stared at him. Odell looked at her
face covered in colorful paint. Isabel had drawn a line on her face from the left to right, crossing the
bridge of her nose. The colorful paint set off the fairness of her skin, and her nervous eyes seemed
attractive as well.



Odell was stunned.

Sylvia was annoyed. She did not mean to bump into him. It was him who suddenly stepped in
unannounced. However, her mind told her to apologize first before things turned bad. “I’m sorry, Odell.
Are you okay?” Odell regained his composure and averted her gaze. “I’m okay. No more next time.”
“Fine.”

Sylvia did not say anything after that and continued chasing after Isabel. Isabel was determined not to
be caught, so she started running in circles around Odell. When Sylvia was behind Odell, Isabel ran to
Odell’s front; when Sylvia was in front of Odell,

Isabel slipped behind Odell. The mother and daughter ran in circles around the man. Odell stood there
with tightened lips. He had a few glances at them, but there was no emotion on his face. Liam also
noticed them from inside the doodling area. When he noticed his mother and sister running around his
father, looking delighted, his eyes shone with interest.
