Chapter 469
Back at Lush Heaven, Sylvia was in the room with her kids who were still clinging to her.
Sylvia talked to them about their lives, how things had changed and how they were adapting.
Liam barely spoke as Isabel did all the talking.
Isabel talked about how much she missed her mother, how she accompanied her great-grandmother with her brother every night, and even the things she encountered at kindergarten.
Sylvia simply listened to her blabbering until Sherry’s phone rang.
After she answered the call, she turned to Sylvia with a horrified look “Syl! My security told me Odell is coming! ”
Sylvia’s gaze shrunk She immediately turned to her kids and said, “ Isabel, Liam, I cannot let your Daddy find me. Remember what I said. I’ll find you after I’ve handled everything. Remember!”
Liam hummed a reply and Isabel pouted. “Mommy, please come back soon!”
“I will.” Sylvia kissed both of them on the cheeks and ran towards the window.
The bedroom had no place for her to hide except in the bathroom, and there was only one shower curtain inside. One could easily spot her through the translucent shower curtain.
She could not afford to let Odell find her now, so she climbed out of the window immediately.
Sherry went over to the kids and sat down beside them. “Isabel, Liam, pretend to be asleep! ”
The two of them responded swiftly and lay back down on the bed with their eyes closed.
Then, knocks came from the door.
It was Ben. “Ms. Fowler, Master Carter is here for the kids.”
“Oh, okay! ” Sherry ruffled her hair to make it look like she had just woken up from a nap before she opened the door.
The changing room was located next to the bedroom where Isabel and Liam were supposedly sleeping.
Sylvia snuck into the changing room through the window and hid behind the door while having a peek outside through the seam. She saw the man’s towering figure leave with Ben behind him. Both of them were carrying Isabel and Liam respectively.
Just when they were about to walk down the stairs, one of the dancers outside the room opened the door.
Bang!
The door was slammed into Sylvia’s nose, causing her to squeal in pain.
The dancer immediately apologized. “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! Are you okay?”
Before Sylvia could reply, she sensed a familiar gaze aimed in her direction.
Odell, who was about to go down the stairs, heard her squeal. He backed up a few steps and shot his sharp gaze at the changing room.
