Chapter 232
Chapter 232 With the help of Ben and Jacob, Sylvia brought the two children in with a large amount of bags.
The two little ones were tired. Sylvia said hello to Madam Carter in the living room and took the kids back to their room. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She carried them to the bed, stroked their heads, and said softly, “Isabel, Liam, go to bed first if you‘re sleepy. Mommy will help you tidy up your stuff.” The little ones nodded obediently.
Sylvia turned around and went to sort out the stuff they bought today. There were toys, clothes, bags, and jewelry that Isabel took a liking to.. Sylvia sorted those things into their cabinets. After a while, she finished putting the items away and turned around. She saw the two little ones sitting by the window, looking at her with their round eyes. Sylvia was stunned and asked, “Why didn‘t you go to sleep?”
Isabel took out a small red bag from behind her and said in a soft voice, “Mommy, this is all the money Liam and I received this year.”
Sylvia thought that Isabel wanted to show off their money, so she smiled and walked over with a smile. She sat beside them and took the small bag.
It was quite heavy.
As soon as she opened it, she saw more than a dozen shiny little gold bars...‘ Besides the gold bars, there was some cash that she gave them. However, the cash was obviously the least valuable thing in the bag. She soon saw the two land deeds with their names on them.
They were both villas in Westchester City.
They were villas that were newly built in recent years, and their market price was no less than that of Tara‘s villa at Lake Victoria.
Odell probably gave it to them. Sylvia smiled. Although that man was ruthless to her, he cared about the little ones. There were also two bank cards on the bottom. Those were probably given by Madam Carter, so they most likely had a lot of money in them.
Sylvia looked at it and zipped up the small bag. Then, Isabel said, “It‘s for you, Mommy.”
Sylvia was stunned and looked down at Isabel‘s round and bright eyes.
She smiled. “Thank you, Isabel, but these are you and your brother‘s. Mommy doesn‘t need them.” Isabel pouted. She raised her chubby arms and pushed the small bag into Sylvia‘s arms. “Liam and my stuff are your stuff, Mom. Take it.” Sylvia frowned in disbelief.
This little girl has always been a little money–obsessed. Last year, she even secretly hid some money when I said I‘d keep their New Year‘s money for them. Why is she so generous this year?‘
Just as she was puzzled, Liam suddenly said, “Mom, when I grow up, I‘ll earn more money than Dad. I‘ll give you lots of limited edition black cards.” Isabel said, “Uh–huh. It‘ll be even prettier than that ugly woman‘s one too!” Sylvia was instantly stunned. Her nose also stung. When she saw Tara deliberately take out the black card in the mall, she did feel a little uncomfortable. However, it was not out of jealousy. She just remembered the past before she divorced Odell.
At that time, he was busy taking back his inheritance and dealing with his stepmother. Sylvia only knew how to paint and was not good at business, so the only thing she could do was act like a virtuous wife. Every day, she only thought about how to take care of him, and she was reluctant to spend money for fear of adding to his burden. Furthermore, the money she occasionally spent on shopping always came out of her own pocket. She also saved all the living expenses he gave her in case he needed them for emergencies.
She never received anything else from him besides the fixed monthly living expenses. She did not have any ordinary credit cards either, let alone Tara‘s limitless black card. Even so, she thought that he cared about her back then. Thinking about it now, it was ironic.
