Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1336

Chapter 1336

After dinner, Odell spent some time with his

grandmother before going upstairs to put the three

mischievous children to bed.

Around ten o’clock, he finally returned to his and Sylvia’s bedroom.

He got home before the clock even struck six today and somehow the time passed by without him noticing. He felt like he had barely done anything at all.

He opened the door and stepped into the damning silence of the room, shored in darkness.

There were no sounds at all except for the faint whisper of the wind blowing in through the windows left open.

He reached for the switch and turned on the light. The bedroom was completely untouched since he had left for work earlier this morning.

It was also uncomfortably cold.

The bedroom seemed like a foreign space to him. It was nothing like when Sylvia was here with him.

Back then, no matter what time he came home, he would step into a cozy room filled with warmth. He would take a deep breath and catch the scent of Sylvia inside the room.

Now, it was nothing but an off–putting silence that welcomed him into the room.

It was disrupting the senses.

He went to the window and proceeded to close it shut.

After that, he went to the bathroom where he took a shower. Soon enough, he found himself on the bed

staring at the ceiling.

By this hour, Sylvia was probably asleep at Meadow Hills.

He shut his eyes.

The past few nights, he had trouble falling asleep.

Just when it seemed like he was about to fall asleep, he

was rudely awakened when he turned to his side and tried

to cuddle with someone that was no longer there, only to

brush his arms against the empty bed.

He felt a suffocating sadness swelling inside him.

He sat up and reached for his phone.

She had been away for almost a week. She was probably

not that upset anymore by this point.

He texted her a short message, “Are you asleep?”

A sullen look appeared on his face. He searched for Sylvia’s number in his contacts and clicked the dial button without a second thought.

As usual, the call was unable to connect.

Just as he had thought, he was still blocked.

His face darkened, and he flung the phone aside and frowned. He was in a dark mood.

Did she have to get so angry with him just because of something rather trivial that Shermaine had done

completely by accident?

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Westchester, Carter Tower.

The dim glow of the setting sun spilled into the office.

Odell had just finished reviewing the final sheet of documents for the day, so he picked up his jacket and left

his office.

Shermaine, who was posted by the desk right outside his office, quickly rose from her seat and greeted Odell with a pleasant and warm smile.

Odell continued heading toward the elevator without even batting an eye.

She suddenly asked, “Master Carter, are you leaving already?”

“Yeah,” Odell answered and continued walking.

She tried to find something to talk about. “There’s going to be a party tonight. Aren’t you going to join? Most of

the top branch will be there as well.”

“Cliff can go in my place.”

“Alright.”

Shermaine looked at Odell strutting into the elevator

without sparing a look at her. She frowned sadly at this

sight.

How many days had it been?

Recently, Odell would leave the office as soon as he was finished with his work. He would head back home immediately without even entertaining the idea of going anywhere else at all.
