Chapter 468
Sherry could not help but giggle at the girl. She was not mad at the kids at all.
“I’m sorry, SyL.” She looked at Sylvia apologetically. She had promised Sylvia to keep her existence a secret and shut off all possible news that might lead to her discovery.
Sylvia smiled. “It’s alright. It’s not your fault.”
She would never have thought that Liam would be smart enough to search Violet’s chat history with her and even devise a plan to use Sherry to bring them to her.
The two little rascals were not at all guilty even after their schemes were exposed. They even clung to Sylvia tighter than ever.
Isabel curled her tiny arms around her mother’s neck and nuzzled against her cheeks.
Liam also sat closer to his mother. His big eyes also showed an obvious sense of delight.
Sherry pinched the kids’ cheeks once more before she left them with their mother.
After nuzzling their mother for a while, Isabel asked, “Mommy, why are you hiding here?”
Sylvia furrowed her brows and said in a small voice, “Mommy got into some trouble, and I have to handle all of them before I can go back to you guys.”
“But the people outside said you are dead, and so did Aunt Tonya and Uncle Sebastian. That ugly woman wants to marry big meanie and she visits Great-grandma frequently. She even cooked for me and Bro but we are too smart to fall into her trap.”
Her tiny mouth was ceaseless when she mentioned Tara.
Sylvia could not help but giggle at the girl’s enthusiasm. “Isabel and Liam, you are the smartest.”
Isabel giggled shyly when hearing the praise.
Liam then asked, “Mommy, Daddy said you fell into the lake. Why did you fall into the lake?”
He looked up at his mother and stared at her with a curious gaze.
Sylvia’s gaze shifted. “I accidentally fell into the lake.”
She was not trying to defend Tara, but she did not want her kids to know how malicious a person could be at such a young age. If she revealed the truth, she might traumatize their growing minds.
Liam pouted and stopped with his question.
Isabel then took over and continued, “Mommy, how long more are you going to stay here for?”
“Did no one follow them?”
“Ben went out with them.”
Odell pulled his phone out and called Ben. The call got through right away.
“Are Isabel and Liam coming home now?” he asked.
Ben answered in a small voice, “Isabel and Liam are still with Ms. Fowler.”
“Where are they?”
Ben stuttered, “T-They are at Lush Heaven and I think they are still sleeping.”
Odell’s expression turned grim. “Keep an eye on them. I’m coming over.”
“Yes, sir!”
Odell put his phone away and stormed out of the door.
