Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475

He had a meeting to attend later in the afternoon. He had another glance at Tara and noticed a healthy glow on her face, so he planned to get up and go back to work All of a sudden, Tara bolted up with a scream.

Odell turned around to her, and she threw herself into his arms. She hugged him with her trembling arms and said, “Odell, I’m very scared.”

Odell patted her back. “Did you have a nightmare?”

“I don’t know why, but I dreamt of the baby we would have had. My stomach was big…and I fell down the stairs.”

Odell frowned. “It’s over now. Don’t think about it anymore.” She started crying, “Odell, can you stay a little longer?” Odell remembered Sylvia pushing Tara down the stairs and causing the miscarriage. Back then, he was rather surprised that Tara had gotten pregnant after having sex with him just once.

Sylvia was also pregnant then, and she was his legal wife, so lie actually had a thought of making Tara abort the baby.

However, the doctor had said that her body could not sustain the damage and that the child must not be aborted. Therefore, he had gifted Tara the villa at Lake Victoria and told her to take care of herself until she was due for labor.

He felt like he owed her a lot, so he often would drop by the villa to visit her.

Odell was displeased by the request and furrowed his brows.

She immediately explained, “I know it has only been four months since Sylvia has been gone, and the timing is inappropriate, but you have to work and you need someone to take care of the kids and Grandmother at home. By marrying me, I can share your burden rightfully, or else people will keep talking about it.” In the end, she lowered her head and feigned a sorrowful look. Odell asked, “Who’s talking about it?” Tara pursed her lips in silence. “Is it Aunt Tonya? Or someone else?”. Tara lowered her head further and said meekly, “I can’t take it, so please don’t ask anymore.” Odell stared at her in silence. She was as kind and understanding as always and would be the perfect wife to take care of his house. However, he really did not have the intention to marry her.

Tara then said, “Odell, if Sylvia were still here, I wouldn’t make you marry me. I just don’t want to see you so tired, taking care of work and family together. Besides, I can no longer give birth, and if you don’t want me, I don’t know what reason I have to be alive.” Her words made Odell choke. The woman used to carry his child and accompanied him through his darkest days. It was not an exaggeration to say that without Tara, he would not have made it today. In return, she had lost more than she gained from him and could never be pregnant anymore.

He owed her more than he could ever return. A long silence later, he said, “Give me some time to think about it.” Tara’s eyes gleamed. She said meekly, “Okay.”
