Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 401

Chapter 401

Sylvia knew that she was no match for Odell and had already accepted this fact a few days ago. Still,
she could no longer bear to keep silent and burst out with tears in her eyes. “Odell, why are you doing
this to me? I’m just another regular person. I’m not some kind of object for you to vent your anger at!”
Odell grabbed her by her jaw and looked into her eyes that were soaking with tears. He answered
grimly, “Because you betrayed me and you hurt Grandma!”

“I didn’t!” Sylvia could no longer hold herself back. She cried out in a tearful voice, “I didn’t hurt
Grandma. And there was never anything going on between me and Edmund. Why do you just refuse to
believe me?! Why?!”

Odell frowned deeply. After a moment of silence, he answered, “Because you don’t deserve my trust at
all.”

She fell silent. She stared at his stoic expression, her vision had long turned blurry due to the tears in
her eyes. She stared blankly for a second before she began to chuckle madly, “Heh… hehe…” It was
true. He already proved that he did not trust her when he had her slapped sixty times years ago. How
could she forget? Why did she agree to remarry him? What would it take for her to learn her lesson?
She did this to herself! She could not stop her laughing fit which only grew louder and more hysterical
as time went on.

Odell seemed repulsed by this display and immediately got out of bed. He grabbed a set of clothes and
exited the room.

He did not return for a couple of days.

She did not know if he came back during the day when she was sleeping. All she knew was that she
had never seen even a glimpse of his shadow during the hours when she was awake.



Until the day she was to see the children.

She woke up and did her makeup, then put on a simple dress before heading to the Carter’s old
residence with the bodyguards escorting her. Isabel and Liam had been waiting for her.

She saw them as soon as she stepped out of the car.

She ran to them immediately and took them into her arms.

“Mommy, I miss you so much.”

“Mommy, I miss you too.”

Isabel and Liam said in unison.

Sylvia fought back her tears and forced herself to smile. “Mommy missed both of you too.”

After they hugged for a while, Sylvia took them back into their room.

She sat with them and began asking what they got up to recently. Isabel happily obliged and rambled
about the interesting things that happened at school.

Liam chimed in from time to time with his own stories as well.

Sylvia listened to them.

After they finished, it was Liam’s turn to ask her, “Mommy, how have you been?”

Sylvia answered without thinking, “Mommy is doing well.”

“What about Great-grandma?” Sylvia paused for a second and thought about it before answering,
“Grandma contracted this disease that makes her sleep all the time, but she’s doing very well.”



This time, Isabel asked, “Mommy, when will you be back with Great-grandma?” Sylvia answered with a
soft smile, “I’m not sure yet, but we’ll come back as soon as we can.” “Okay.” Isabel noted with a slight
twitch in her voice.

Sylvia smiled tenderly and patted her head.

Shortly after that, the butler informed them from outside, “Miss, time’s up. I’m afraid you’ll have to go
back.” The color in Sylvia’s eyes dimmed ever so slightly as she replied, “Got it.” Isabel jumped into her
arms and hugged her endearingly. Sylvia smiled gladly and helped Isabel up. Then she took Liam’s
hand with her free hand and walked out of the room with them.

They went to the gate.

She kissed and hugged them in turn, then she turned back to the car. The children stood at the door
and stared at her.

Forcing herself to turn her head away from them, Sylvia ordered the driver, “Drive.”

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gates of Odell’s place.

Sylvia got out of the car and saw a white car parked outside the house. Sylvia recognized the car. It
was Tara’s.

She stepped into the house with an indifferent look.

She saw Tara sitting on the sofa like she owned the place. She was chewing on some snacks

while chatting with Violet, “Take good care of Grandma. She’s Odell’s most cherished family member.
Don’t let anything happen to her, do you understand?”

Violet answered dutifully, “I understand, Miss Tara, no worries.”



Tara seemed like she had something more to say and was just about to speak when she suddenly saw
Sylvia enter.
