Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 644

Chapter 644

Midnight.

Sylvia waited until the children had dozed off into a deep sleep before leaving and driving to Lush
Heaven

The night was when the city truly came alive, and Lush Heaven was no exception either. It was very
lively inside but most of the activities were restricted to only the first floor. Some paparazzi were
wandering around the corridor on the second floor. They were here for Odell.

Sylvia did not want to appear in the news, so she got in touch with Sherry.

Shortly after, Sherry had the security escort the group of paparazzi who snuck into the building Sylvia
said something to Sherry, then she went to Odell’s box all by herself. As usual, Ben and Jacob were
posted by the entrance door. The two of them promptly opened the door for her the moment they saw
her.

Just like that, Sylvia entered. The pungent smell of alcohol lingered in the air as usual. She frowned,
then looked at the man lying on the couch. He was wearing a pair of black shirt and pants. The collar of
his shirt was unbuttoned and he barely even tucked his shirt.

Sylvia could not tell if he had simply fallen asleep or if he was drunk. His eyes were closed and he was
even starting to look like he was dead.

She stopped approaching him and simply called his name instead, “Odell.” His hands that were
dangling on the couch suddenly shook, followed by him snapping his eyes open. His dark eyes
adjusted to his waking state. He stared at her for a while before asking, “Why are you here?”

She answered honestly, “Sebastian asked me to come. He wants me to talk to you.”



He squinted. “And you came just because he asked you to?”

His voice was very raspy. Sylvia could tell that he was hinting at something else with that statement

It was as if he was implying that she came here because she cared about him, that Sebastian urging
her was simply an excuse for her.

She could not be bothered to explain herself. “Believe whatever you want to.”

Odell smirked coyly. “I believe you.”

There was a soft, vulnerable look in his eyes and he wore a sweet smile that gave him a somewhat
endearing charm.

Sylvia frowned and avoided his gaze. Then she began to lecture him. “Everyone faces setbacks at one
point or another. It’s nothing out of the ordinary for a corporation as large as Carter Corporation to face
some crisis now and then. You don’t have to blame yourself for not being able to salvage the situation.
So what if you go bankrupt? You’re still young and there’s always a chance for you to start again. You
still have many days ahead of you.”

Odell sat up, reclined on the sofa, and rested his head on his palm.

He suddenly smiled upon hearing Sylvia’s speech. There was a glowing warmth in his eyes. Sylvia
went on. “You don’t have to worry about the children for the time being. I have enough money saved up
to take care of them until they grow up. I can also help you take care of Grandma, but I’m afraid i’ll
have to dismiss the service of all the housemaids and bodyguards except for Sebastian and the
caretakers. I can’t support all of them by myself.”

After she finished, silence descended upon the room. There was no answer from Odell, which
prompted Sylvia to turn to him. She saw him slumped lazily against the couch with a strangely



affectionate smile on his face that almost bordered along the lines of psychopathy. She became
irrationally upset when she saw him behaving this way. “Odell, I’m talking to you. Were you even
listening?”

He smiled. “I was.”

She pressured him. “And what about you? Are you going to keep sulking here and drinking?” After
several seconds of silence, he asked, “What would you do if I choose to keep doing that?” She wanted
to slap him. Then again, what right did she have to do that?

She was his ex-wife. She only came to speak to him for the sake of their two children, Isabel and Liam
