Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Sylvia came out from behind the curtains and went to his side. 

She grabbed his hand again and said seriously, “Thomas, please leave with me now. Believe me, I can get you out of here.” Calmly, he stared into her eyes and asked, “Then after that, what next?” “I’ll take you away from Westchester. As long as you leave the city, Odell won’t be able to lay his hands on you anymore.” “What about you? Will you be leaving with me?” 

Sylvia was stunned. She began to avoid his scorching gaze and said in a small voice, “I can’t leave. I have to be here to take care of Isabel and Liam.” 

“Then leaving does not mean anything to me,” Thomas said with a chuckle. “I’d rather be locked up here by Odell. At least I’d still be able to see you.” 

“No! Odell is unpredictable, he might break your legs tomorrow or beat you up the day after.” 

“As long as I can see you, I don’t mind being crippled,” he said to her with a gentle smile. Sylvia felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Him trying to console her only made her feel worse. “Thomas, it’s not worth it. I’m not worth going through all of this. It’s more important for you to take care of yourself.” “To me, being with you is the most important thing.” 

For a moment, Sylvia choked up. It was true that he had promised to be with him but she could not just leave her kids because of him either. 

As she pondered the quandary she was in, he continued, “Sylvia, why don’t you bring Aunt Tonya, Isabel and Liam along and we could all leave this place together?” 

The two kids needed a healthy environment to grow up as well, not an environment where their parents would engage in constant conflicts. Sylvia said, “Thomas, I promise you that when I manage to get you out of here, I’ll bring Isabel, Liam and Aunt Tonya along and we will leave Westchester together.” Thomas grinned. “Great.” This time, he stood up by himself without Sylvia’s help. Sylvia then pulled him along by his hand to walk to the door. Her movements were unhurried. Instead, she opened the door very slightly to check the situation outside. After the coast was clear, she quietly led Thomas out of the door. 

They moved along the wall and headed towards the stairs. 

She glanced at the bodyguards who were standing at the entrance before she held her breath and walked down together with Thomas. 

Finally, they arrived at the window that she had used to climb into the house earlier.
