Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 261

Chapter 261

Sylvia’s studio was designed to face the south. There was a huge ceiling-to-floor window that was not
veiled by the curtain. Therefore, he was able to have a clear look at her painting with the kids.

By simply staring at the heart-warming scene, the frosty expression on his face softened.

The day went by in the blink of an eye, and the sky was already dark.

Isabel was already snoring on the ground, but Liam had a sudden urge to draw longer.

Sylvia did not want them to leave either, so she texted Edmund to tell him not to wait for her.

“I have some free time on my hand anyway. Just text me when you are done,” Edmund replied.

She accompanied them until a little past 8 p.m. After Liam was done painting, Sylvia drove them back
to the Carter residence. While they were at the mansion gate, Liam noticed the dress his mother wore
and asked,” Mommy, are you still going out later?” Sylvia smiled. “Liam, I promised to meet a friend, so
I have to keep my promise. Hurry up and bring your sister inside.” Isabel could barely keep her sleepy
eyes open while she rubbed her eyes. Liam pouted. “Okay.” He held Isabel’s hand and went inside.
After watching her kids go inside, Sylvia drove towards Cloudy Heart Lake. Meanwhile, in the living
room of the Carters’, Odell was having a cup of tea when Liam came in with Isabel. Liam announced,
“Daddy, we’re home.” Odell had a glance behind them before he asked, “It’s just you two? Where’s
Mommy?” “Mommy is meeting a friend,” Liam answered. Odell scowled. He bolted up and went out of
the house while pulling his phone out of his pocket. Liam watched his father leave the house with
slightly furrowed brows. Isabel yawned as she grumbled, “Bro, what’s wrong with the meanie?” “I don’t
know.”



Liam had no idea. He really wanted to ask why his father had purposely opened the backdoor this
morning and allowed him and Isabel to go to their mother, and why he had tried his best to keep their
mother at home for as long as possible.

The boy had questions but was unable to meet them with answers.

Odell strode out of the door as he dialed Cliff’s number.

He said coldly, “Bring everyone you can and tell them to go straight to Cloudy Heart Lake!”

The call ended, and his towering figure climbed into his sports car. As the engine roared to life, he
stepped on the pedal and sprinted off onto the freeway.

The scenery outside the window flashed over ceaselessly. His dark and keen brows were tightly
furrowed and his eyes were gleaming in a gloom. Sp.m. It was the curfew that he gave Sylvia to see
the kids every day, and now, it was only a little past eight.

Knowing Sylvia, she would want to spend every second with her kids, yet she had sent them home
punctually today just so she could go out to meet Edmund. Has she fallen for Edmund? How dare she
fall for another man?’

Ring! His phone rang all of a sudden. He had a glance at the phone that he placed on the passenger
seat. It was Tara. He slid his slender finger to the left side to decline the call. The black sports car sped
off into the night like the wind. Meanwhile, on another rather road, Sylvia was waiting for the traffic light
to turn green. She had stood Edmund up several times now, and today, she had even dragged the
meeting until late at night.

Feeling embarrassed, she sent Edmund a voice message. “Edmund, you guys go ahead and have
something to eat first. I’m on my way and will take a little longer. Don’t wait for me.”



Edmund replied almost instantly, “Don’t worry. We are not hungry yet. Be careful and don’t rush.”

The traffic light turned green. Sylvia simply drove the car out of the street without answering Edmund.
Little did she know, another black sports car took a shortcut to Cloudy Heart Lake, beating her arrival
time.
