Ch. 1066..1070

Chapter 1066 Lily was speechless. Her exquisitely made up face instantly became stiff and even a little unpleasant. Even after several seconds had passed, she was still unable to recover her usual elegant demeanor.

The young man beside her was also shocked, but he did not dare to say anything in front of Odell. Sylvia was momentarily stunned before she was able to return to her senses.

She had already known that Odell would definitely stand on her side, but she had not expected him to speak so bluntly to Lily. Looking at the expression on Lily’s face now, Sylvia could not help but smile. Lily‘s face turned ashen in an instant.

Looking at Sylvia coldly, she said, “Ms. Ross, your mental state now seems to be better than previously. | believe that means that you should be able to paint now, right?” Sylvia thought of the paintings at home that she was not very satisfied with, and said nothing. Noticing her silence and her unwillingness to continue

this topic, Lily guessed that Sylvia was definitely still unable to paint.

Soon, her lips curled up as she smiled at Sylvia. “There‘s going to be a new art contest held in Westchester City. | heard that President Dendro wants to invite you to become a judge for the contest. He’s already made an agreement with the sponsors of the contest. They'll allow you to be a judge as long as you're able to paint a work on the spot that's up to their satisfaction when the contest starts.”

Sylvia frowned. ‘Christopher wants me to be a judge? | didn't hear anything about that.’

Lily noticed her expression and said, “Ms. Ross, | believe that in your current state, you would surely not disappoint them, right?"

Her sinister tone of voice made Sylvia uncomfortable, and she said, “You don't have to worry about that, Ms. Springsteen.” Lily's expression turned cold. “Then I'll look forward to your new work on the opening day.”

After saying that, she turned and walked downstairs.

The young man beside her looked at Sylvia with disdain and followed Lily.

“Master Carter and Mrs. Carter, I'm really sorry for

disturbing you.” The restaurant owner immediately stepped forward and apologized to them.

Sylvia smiled at him. “It's fine. You may continue with your job.”

Then, she grabbed Odell’s hand. “Let's go inside, or the meat will burn.”

Odell looked at her and walked back into the room with her with a smile.

He had already moved the meat off the grill and onto her plate before he came out, and the meat was still steaming. The meat and vegetables that he had placed on the grill just before coming out of the room were almost done.

He picked up the tongs to serve her a lot of the food first before putting some into his own plate.

Sylvia took several bites first before stopping.

She asked uneasily, “Odell, will Lily do anything to this restaurant?”

Lily had seemed very displeased when she left, and she had not managed to get what she wanted. Sylvia was worried that she would take her anger out on the restaurant owner.

“She won't go as far as to retaliate against a restaurant owner.”

That was true, but... “What if?”

Sylvia felt that Lily was quite petty.

Lily was the big miss of the Springsteen family. Sylvia wondered why she kept on trying to mess with her?

Odell gave her another slice of meat and said, “I know the owner of this shopping street. I'll talk to him after dinner and ask him to pay attention to this restaurant.”

Sylvia‘s face brightened. “Okay.”

Then, she picked up the tongs that he had just put down and clipped a piece of freshly grilled meat to put onto his plate. He had been feeding her all night, so she had to return the favor.

Odell smiled and immediately put the piece of meat into his mouth

After eating and drinking their fill, they left the place feeling satisfied.

It was the time when the night life was bustling.

The streets were brightly lit, and there were crowds coming and going everywhere.

Chapter 1067

Master Odell's Secret Ex-wife by Eggsoup Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067 Sylvia had only walked a few steps when she heard the man's low, magnetic voicering out. "Do you want to go home?" She looked up and encountered his dark eyes, which reflected the lights of the night, making them look very seductive.

She pursed her lips. "Let's walk out here for a while longer." Odell also smiled. "Sure." He took her hand andwalked toward the crowd. In the old Carter residence. Isabel, who had promised that she would take her younger brother to bed early, was now holding a gamepad and killing the people inside the game. "Hmph, you little piece of trash. How dare you sneak up on me? Die! "Yay! | won again!" After another round of the game, Isabel tossed the gamepad away and asked Flint, who was sitting beside her, "Little Flint, aren't | amazing?" It was not clear if Flint actually understood or not, but he babbled, "Yah!" "Just watch. I'll show you something even more amazing! Then, she picked up the gamepad again, went back to the game menu, and started another game with a higher difficulty level. As soon as she started the level, her game avatar fell from the sky with special effects and an imposing sound effect. Flint's eyes widened in surprise. At the same time, the door was pushed open. Liam, who had already put on his pajamas, walked in from the outside. Flint saw him and babbled, "Brother, brother, brother!" Liam took Flint into his arms and looked at Isabel with a cold gaze. "Do you want me to turn off the game for you, or do you want to do it yourself?” Isabel held the gamepad and said anxiously, "I only just started this level. Put Flint down. | want to show him how amazing | am." Liam simply turned around and left while carrying Flint. Isabel was suddenly left alone in the game room. She snorted. "Meanie." Then, she continued to play. However, just as she was about to kill a large monster, the game screen suddenly froze. No matter how she pressed the buttons on the gamepad, there was no response. When she thought about how she had just been about to kill the monster, she was so angry that she threw the controller onto the floor. Then, in a rage, she walked out to look for Liam in their room. Liam was on the bed on the right side of the room, reading a book Flint lay beside him, sleeping soundly. Isabel pouted until her cheeks were puffy and asked," Liam, did you do something to my game console?" Liam glanced at her. "Yeah, | disconnected the home Internet." She shouted angrily, "You meanie! Turn it back on!" Liam frowned, his pale face appearing icy cold for an instant under the light. "Isabel Ross, if you scream one more time, I'll throw you out." Isabel's eyes flickered in fear, but she quickly climbed onto his bed. She sat crossed legged beside him, crossed her arms, and spoke to him in her smallest voice, "You meanie, how could you throw me out? You never used to be so mean to me! Don't you love me anymore?" Liam put the book in his hand back to the side of the bed and looked at her with clear eyes. "One, you sleep immediately, or two, go back to your bed and sleep immediately." His voice was still that of a child's, but it was full of intimidation. Isabel harrumphed and lay down upside down next to him before pressing her chubby arms and legs onto him. Without an expression on his face, Liam turned off the lights. The room was soon left with only the sound of them breathing evenly. Outside the door, Aunt Tonya, who had been standing for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sebastian, "They're all asleep. Let's go."

Chapter 1068 It was already late at night when they came home. Aunt Tonya and the others had already gone to sleep, and the three little ones were huddled in a bed, sleeping sweetly.

Sylvia was exhausted and quickly went into the bathroom after coming back. After a simple wash, she walked out in her pajamas. Odell also cameback from the bathroom outside the room, draped in a black bathrobe that half-exposed his neckline and strong chest. He looked quite seductive in the warm light. However, Sylvia was so tired that all she wanted to do was sleep. She could not help her eyes from giving his chest a second glance before she fell to the bed. The man's tall figure came next to her, and his long arm bundled her up in his embrace. Sylvia's face nuzzled against his chest. His skin was firm and full of elasticity, and his body smelled fragrant after his bath. It felt very comfortable. Without thinking too much about it, she continued to close her eyes. However, just as she was about to fall asleep, a large hand moved to her waist and lifted her pajamas up. It was like his fingers were on fire. Every time he touched her, Sylvia felt as if her skin was burning. She did not need to think to know what this man wanted. However, she was so sleepy that she did not want to open her eyes. She slapped his hand away and said, "Just go to sleep. We still have to take the kids out to play tomorrow. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead as he replied, "| booked tickets for two days. We can go later tomorrow." Sylvia did not reply. She was really sleepy. She closed her eyes and mouth, making him think she was going to sleep. At the very next second, there was a warm touch on her lips. He was kissing her. Sylvia pushed him away, but not only did he easily restrain her, she was also flipped over and pinned down by him. His scalding kiss moved down from her lips. Like fire, it burned her. Sylvia swore that she really wanted to sleep, but this man was really too good at teasing her. After struggling a few times, she finally gave in. The light illuminated the two intimate figures that did not stop for a long time. The next day. When Sylvia opened her eyes, it was already 10 am. The man who had caused her to sleep so late was already fully dressed and was sitting gracefully on the edge of the bed, with one arm holding Flint. Flint was also neatly dressed , wearing a yellow sun hat. When he saw her wake up, he immediately extended his little hand to her. "Mama, mama." Sylvia quickly took the little one into her arms and stared at Odell. "Why didn't you wake me up?" Odell smiled. "Don't worry, Isabel and Liam only just finished packing up." Sylvia gave him a look, before thrusting Flint back into his arms. She quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She washed up and changed her clothes as fast as she could. Odell and Flint were still waiting for her in the room. When Sylvia came out, she dragged them downstairs. In the living room, Isabel and Liam were sitting side by side on the sofa. Liam wore a shirt, black overalls, and a black newsboy hat. It was a look that was cute yet energetic.

Chapter 1069 Isabel wore a red pinafore, a red sun hat, and a small white bag slung over her shoulder. She looked cuteand pretty.

After Sylvia and Odell came down with Flint, they both walked over. Isabel was bouncing with excitement while Liam remained calm likea little adult. Sylvia stroked their little heads as she spoke to Aunt Tonya and Sebastian. Then, she took the kids out with Odell. The black MPV drove off in the direction of the suburbs. They were going to a very popular amusement park that was very suitable for families to visit. Isabel and Liam sat in the front row. The little girl was excited to play and looked out the window from time to time. Sylvia and Odell sat behind them with Flint. Not long after, Sylvia heard her phone ring. She took her phone out and saw that she had received a message from Simon. "Sylvia , are you free these days? Christopher hasn't seen you in a long time and wants to meet with you. We would also like to talk to you about the art competition." Sylvia thought about what Lily had said last night about being a judge for the art competition. She considered it and replied, "Does he want me to be a judge?" Simon replied, "Yes. We'll talk about the details in person. Don't worry, he won't force you if you really don't want to do it. We mainly just want to meet up with you." Looking relieved, Sylvia said, "Are you free tomorrow night? Let's go out for dinner." Simon quickly responded. "I'm free. I'll tell Christopher about it." Sylvia had also just hung up and put away her phone when a man's low and magnetic voice rang out beside her. "Who messaged you?" Odell looked at her. In his arms, Flint also stared at her. Sylvia took Flint into her arms and replied, "It was Simon. Both him and Christopher would like to get together with me and discuss the art competition. | agreed to meet up with them for dinner tomorrow night." There was a slight flicker in Odell's eyes, and he asked softly, "Do you want to be a judge?" Sylvia shook her head. She did not think that Christopher would want her to be a judge either. She was not mentally prepared at all. She also still did not remember anything about how she had come to be Sunflower. Furthermore, she was not particularly satisfied with her current paintings, so she could not be a judge. The man suddenly placed the warm palm of his hand on her head and gently stroked it. "Don't think too much about it now. Talk to them about it when you meet tomorrow night." His voice was magnetic and powerful, as if it held some kind of magic. She felt relaxed after listening to him. The corners of her mouth curled up. "Okay." The amusement park was just as fun as it had been advertised to the public. There were so many kinds of attractions inside that it would take two days to play on all of them. That evening, not long after leaving the park, Isabel and Liam drifted off to sleep. Little Flint also slept on Odell's shoulder. In the past two days, Odell had been the one who had mostly been taking care of the children. Furthermore, Sylvia and he had simply watched the children play, so Sylvia was not that tired. It was getting dark when she received a message from Simon. He asked if she was already out. Last night, Sylvia had agreed to meet up with them at a restaurant. Looking at the time, she replied, "I'll be there in about twenty minutes." Simon replied, "Ok." They would be passing by the restaurant that they had booked on the way back to the Carter residence. About twenty minutes later, the car arrived outside the restaurant. The three little ones were still sleeping soundly. Sylvia looked at Odell and said softly, "You take the kids back first. I'll go back after having a meal with Simon and Christopher." Odell raised his hand to cup her face. "Okay. Come back early." "| know." She got out of the car.

Chapter 1070 Just before she got out of the car, Sylviaspotted Simon and a middle-aged man with a slightly plump face walking toward her from the door of the restaurant, The man was smiling at her affectionately.

She figured that he had to be Christopher Dendro. Sylvia also smiledand walked toward them. When she got closer, Christopher asked, "Sylvia, | heard from Simon that you have amnesia. Do you remember us now?" She pursed her lips. Seemingly receiving the answer from her face, Christopher smiled. "Forget it. It's fine if you don't remember us. Well just get reacquainted again." Sylvia smiled. "Sure." Simon said, "Let's not just stand here. Let's talk inside." She walked into the restaurant with them. It was a restaurant selling authentic local cuisine. They had booked a private room upstairs. It had a nice environment and was very quiet. Christopher was very easy-going, whereas Simon seemed quite reserved although he was very easy to talk to. Although Sylvia did not remember them, she felt close to them after chatting a while. After sitting down, she immediately brought up the art competition to them. Christopher also said bluntly, "Sylvia, your appreciation for art is very unique, so I've wanted you to be a judge since we started preparing for this competition. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Let me tell you about the process of this competition first." Sylvia looked at him. "Okay, take your time." Christopher briefly explained the whole process of the competition. The competition was mainly for youths from high school and college. There would be three rounds, and the winners would be judged based on the combined scores of the three rounds. The judges only needed to rate the artworks. The only caveat was that on the opening day, all the judges had to paint a picture in public to add excitement to the competition. Christopher did not hide this from her and spoke frankly, "Originally, there was no need forjudges to paint in public, but they made this request because | wanted you to be a judge. They were worried that having you as a judge would cause a lot of dissatisfaction. As long as you can paint something that satisfies everyone on the opening day, they won't only let you be a judge, they'll also let you be the main judge." Sylvia frowned. She had not expected Christopher to be so optimistic about her. Then, she said, "President Dendro, I'm not particularly satisfied with my current paintings. Why don't you consider someone else?" Christopher's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Have you painted recently?" "Yeah, | painted a few." He quickly asked, "Where are they?" Simon also stared at her. "They're at home, but | took pictures of them all." Sylvia took out her phone. She had always had the habit of taking pictures of her paintings after she finished them. Christopher and Simon immediately got up and went to her side. When they saw the paintings in her album, their eyes lit up in unison. Simon even took away the phone from her and carefully looked at the pictures one by one. After a long time, he finished looking at all the pictures and asked, "Sylvia, are these all your recent works?" Sylvia replied, "Yes." Simon smiled. "They're amazing. They're at the level you used to paint at. | think you've regained your previous state." 'Was that so?’ Sylvia pursed her lips. "But | keep feeling that something is missing." "That's because your expectations toward yourself are too high. | also think these paintings are on the level of Sunflower's." Christopher smiled and said, "They're enough to make you the main judge of this year's art competition." Sylvia was still unsure and looked at them. "Are you guys just pulling my leg?" For a few secoChristopher and Simon were speechless for a few seconds.
