Chapter 935
Odell was ready for the trip as well. His suitcase was right next to the couch.
Sylvia put her suitcase next to his and greeted him with a bright smile, “Good morning.”
Odell turned to her and muttered, “Morning.”
Then, he put down the newspaper and rose from his couch to approach her. He rested a large palm on her head and beckoned, “Come on, let’s eat breakfast.”
Sylvia went to the dining table with him.
The thought that she would be heading to Glanchester to look for Sherry filled her with anticipation. She ate as fast as she could and pushed the plate away as soon as she had eaten enough.
Odell glanced at her. “Are you full?”
“Yeah.” Noticing that Odell was about to set his spoon and fork down, she quickly stated, “Take your time if you’re not full yet. Don’t worry about me.”
“I’m full, too.” He wiped his hands and his lips with a towel, then got up. “Come on, let’s go now.”
He held out a hand toward her.
She hesitated briefly before placing her hand on his.
Three hours later, the car exited the highway and entered the city center of Glanchester.
Sylvia kept looking out the window.
The city was certainly an exemplary tourist destination. The city view was wonderful, and the streets were filled with greenery and art.
Odell sat next to her and maintained the same pose the entire drive here. He silently looked at the way she continuously gaped at the view outside.
Shortly after that, they stopped outside a five-star hotel.
Odell raised a hand and gently tapped Sylvia’s head. “Here it is.”
“Oh.”
Sylvia pushed the door open and went outside.
Odell followed her out of the car.
The entrance of the hotel was nothing short of majestic. It was as if they had been transported to the middle of a forest. There was even a man-made waterfall by the lobby.
Sylvia was astounded by what she saw, and she opened the camera on her phone and approached the entrance.
Odell trailed after her. They had only taken a handful of steps when several officials dressed in suits and leather shoes approached them. Each one with a welcoming smile on their face.
Word was that his wife was a close friend of his boss’ woman.
He thought for a moment before turning to Odell to enquire , ” Master Carter, is that lady your friend?”
Odell stated, “She’s my wife.”
Peter was taken aback by this as he smiled and complimented,” She looks very young. I’d have thought that she was twenty years old.”
Odell’s expression darkened.
Sylvia was indeed twenty years old in her present state.
The sharp-eyed Peter immediately noticed the sudden change in Odell’s demeanor. He immediately became very flustered. Had he said something wrong?
Did he not like being told that his wife was very youthful?
He cast a glance at Cliff as if signaling for help.
Cliff returned a look to signal that this was a risky topic.
Peter took the hint and promptly changed the subject. “Master Carter, what sort of food do you and your wife like? We have all sorts of authentic restaurants here in Glanchester and I’m sure every single one of them will delight you. Just let me know what kind of food you two prefer and I’ll have everything arranged for you. We’ll bring you to the restaurant after I show you to your hotel room.”
