Chapter 200
Chapter 200 Odell coughed in a low voice and replied, “It‘s an adult matter. You wouldn‘t understand it even if I told you.”
“How would you know that if you didn‘t tell me?”
Odell‘s eyes darkened. “Stop talking and sleep now.” Liam did not utter a word but stared at Odell with his big eyes.
Odell frowned, and his face fell.
Only then did Liam close his eyes. He rolled over and lay on Sylvia’s chest, putting his small hand on her waist.
Odell glowered at him and said, “Do not tell your mother that I leaned close to her tomorrow.”
Liam ignored him, but Odell knew that he heard him, so he turned off the lights and walked out.
It was a night of dreamless sleep.
Sylvia comfortably woke up the next day. When she woke up, she saw Liam sitting beside her and playing with a Rubik‘s cube while Isabel was nowhere to be seen.
Sylvia immediately asked, “Liam, where is your sister?” Liam looked out the door and replied, “Sister is playing with them.”
Sylvia put on a jacket and walked out of the room. She saw Isabel wearing cute kitty pajamas in the living room while holding snacks from God–knows–where and sitting in the middle like a little community representative. Harley and many others sat surrounding Isabel while some of the people with no place to sit were squatting in front of her.
Many people among them came over from the other rooms. They stared at Isabel with a loving smile.
Isabel ate her snacks while saying, “Anyway, Mommy is definitely not a mistress. That ugly woman is the mistress! When Mommy had us a few years ago, she framed Mommy and made the Baddie imprison Mommy in the house. He even divorced Mommy! After Mommy gave birth, she framed Mommy again and made the Baddie throw Mommy out of the family.”
The group of people listened attentively.
After Isabel finished speaking, somebody asked sadly, “Were you then separated from your mother?”
Isabel said, “Yeah, but Mommy hid me. The Baddie didn‘t know of my existence at that time. I went with Mommy.”
“Oh... So, your brother just found out about you?” “That‘s so sad. Ms. Ross must have had a rough life during those years.” The group of people felt distressed for Sylvia and Isabel. Isabel waved her hand and said, “Nah, I lived quite comfortably with Mommy. I just miss Brother a lot.” The group of people was relieved after hearing that. Someone exclaimed, “I would never have thought that this is the relationship between Ms. Ross, Master Carter, and Ms. Avery.” Another person whispered, “But I think Ms. Ross is better than Ms. Avery in terms of appearance and ability. What‘s going on in Master Carter‘s mind?” Nobody dared to speak ill of Master Carter, so they sighed in confusion. Isabel sipped a mouthful of milk and humphed, “He‘s blind!” Everyone choked on laughter as the smile on their faces got brighter. Sylvia also could not help but laugh, standing by the door for a while. In those three years, Isabel loved listening to gossip from Aunt Tonya apart from being with her. Therefore, she knew quite a lot about the past from Aunt Tonya and was great at spreading it. Sylvia went back to the room at ease to wash Liam up after seeing that Isabel was chatting happily with Harley and the others. After she had changed Liam‘s clothes and came out, Isabel was also almost done chatting with them. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Harley and the others greeted Sylvia. Sylvia greeted them too and then brought Isabel, who was still wearing her pajamas, to wash up.
After freshening up, she brought them to the breakfast place. Harley had taken their portions for them. Before Sylvia said anything, Isabel chirped sweetly, “Ms. Harley, thank you for saving us some food!”
