Ch. 861..865

Chapter 861 Seeing that Flint did not seem like he was about to cry, Sylvia tried to place him in Odell’s arms. Unexpectedly, the little one lay obediently on Odell’s chest as soon as he got into his arms, without crying or making a fuss. Sylvia laughed. “Odell, he’s accepted you.” Odell smiled and hummed.

‘Good, at least he knows that I’m his father.’

He gently hugged Flint until the baby fell asleep on his chest.

“Flint?” Sylvia tried to call him.

Flint still had his eyes closed, obviously asleep.

Odell’s expression changed, and he immediately carried the baby to the crib next to the bed. Then, he turned around and looked at Sylvia on the bed with a deep and wicked gaze.

Sylvia blinked, and her cheeks reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye. The collar of her shirt was still loose, and her two fine, pale legs were casually folded to one side. She was like a quietly blooming flower, appearing soft and charming.

His tall figure pressed toward her at once.

Immediately, he pinned Sylvia to the soft mattress. He was so strong that she could not struggle at all. However, his movements were very gentle, so gentle that she

could not help but press herself against him.

Just as their kiss grew deeper and more passionate, and the situation was about to go out of control, a phone suddenly rang. The two of them froze.

“Odell, | think that’s yours,” Sylvia said in a hoarse voice.

Odell frowned, glanced at the phone, and lowered his head to kiss her. “Ignore it.”

The ringing stopped after a while.

However, in just a few seconds, it rang again. On top of that, it also woke up little Flint, who had just fallen asleep for a short time, and he started to cry again.

Odell’s straight figure froze. Sylvia also pushed him away. “You go answer the phone. I'll coax Flint to go back to sleep.” He was so angry that he bit her lip, then picked up the phone and walked to the balcony.

Sylvia quickly straightened her clothes and took Flint into her arms. The little one stopped crying when he was held and was very easy to calm down.

Meanwhile, on the balcony, Odell brought the phone to his ear and asked, “What is it?”

Cliff hurriedly said, “Master Carter, Officer Sach just found a clue about Second Master. He most likely came back to Westchester City yesterday, stayed at Westchester Hotel last night, and went

Chapter 861 3/4

to the hospital this morning. Surveillance shows that he went back to the hotel after Madam left the hospital, but when Officer Sach took people to the hotel, he was no longer there.”

“Are there any other clues?”

“Not for now, but Officer Sach wants to meet you. He said he wants to talk to you again face to face to understand the situation with Second Master.”

“Alright. I’m on my way.”

He hung up the phone and turned back around into the bedroom.

Sylvia was still standing by the bed with Flint in her arms. When she saw him coming back, she looked at him with a gentle expression.

The cold look in his eyes faded, and he walked to her side to touch her head. “I’m going out for a bit. You and the kids stay at home and try not to go out.”

“Did something happen?”

“No, I’m just going to meet someone. Ill be back soon.”

Sylvia looked relieved. “Okay.”

After Odell picked up his jacket that was hanging on the side and walked out, Sylvia carried Flint to Isabel and Liam’s room. In the suburbs, Lily arrived at a secluded cafe located near the Springsteen villa by car after receiving the message.

When she got out, she took off her sunglasses and looked

around. Seeing that no one was walking around, she walked into the cafe.

The cafe was dimly lit, and the atmosphere was quiet. Only a figure sat in the innermost corner. The young man wore a gray sweater with his back facing her, sitting in an elegant posture.

Lily immediately walked over, sat down in the seat opposite him, and asked with a smile, “Second Master Carter, | thought you disappeared to Galston. Why are you back?”

Chapter 862 Thomas looked at her with eyes that were devoid of warmth. “I don’t think you came to see me to say these useless words to

me.” Lily's expression changed. “I indeed have a lot of questions to ask you.”

“| don’t know anything except for the six months she was in Galston.”

Her face turned cold, and she asked, “Why did you let her return to Mediana? Why did you let her keep Odell’s child?”

Thomas picked up his coffee and took a sip, not answering her. It was obvious he did not intend to answer those two questions. Lily did not pursue the topic and asked instead, “Can you tell me why you suddenly came back?”

“Because of her.”

“Sylvia?”

“Yes.”

Lily sneered. “She already gave birth to Odell’s child and is living in the Carters’ residence. Can you still snatch her back?” Thomas retorted, “Have you already given up on my big brother?”

Her expression changed, and she’said in a cold voice, “I will never lose to a woman who’s inferior to me in every aspect.” Chapter 862

He pursed his lips. “Then, let’s cooperate.”

Lily smiled. “Sure.”

Odell did not expect to talk to Officer Sachs for so long. It was already late at night when he returned.

He went to Sylvia and his bedroom, but it was empty and unoccupied.

Then, he went to the two children’s room, where the bed was already crowded.

Sylvia slept in the middle, with Isabel sticking to her right and Flint to her left. Further left was Liam, who was sleeping ina straight posture.

Odell’s expression changed. He first brought Flint to Aunt Tonya and the others, then carried Sylvia back to their own bedroom. After washing up, he went back to bed, wrapped his arms around her, and closed his eyes.

However, even after a long time, sleep never came to him. Instead, his body got hotter and hotter. Only God knew how long he endured the torture.

Before she came back, he slept alone every night. After she came back, she had to recover from giving birth for a month and a half. He had to go through a long period of self-hypnosis before managing to go to sleep almost every night.

Her body was finally recovered, but that little brat and Thomas's

matter rained on his parade again.

Now, when he was finally able to have alone time with her, she was asleep instead!

In an instant, he opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms with a dark gaze. She was sleeping soundly. Her cheeks had a natural blush, her lips were pink and puffy, and her little face was quiet and charming.

After just two glances, the fire in his body burned up. “Sylvia,” he called her in a low voice. Alas, what answered him was the silence of the room!

He raised his hand to pinch her face. “Sylvia?”

She still ignored him.

He frowned and said in an irritated voice, “If you ignore me again, I’m going to kiss you.” There was still no response.

He snorted a laugh. “You asked for it.”

Then, he cupped her face and sealed her mouth.

The sleeping woman had no defense, so he easily pried open her lips and teeth.

After an unknown amount of time, probably when she was about to run out of breath, she suddenly woke up and saw the man’s eyes that were scarlet with lust.

He gently caressed her cheek. “Awake?” His voice was low and husky. Sylvia’s eyes widened. “Odell? When did you come back,”

He kissed her again before she could finish her sentence.

The domineering and gentle breath eroded her sanity like poison.

In a short while, Sylvia was putty in his arms.

“Odell, you,”

He sealed her mouth again before she could finish, nipping her and murmuring, “Save it for later.”

Chapter 863 Sylvia moaned. Odell plugged her mouth again, no longer giving her the chance to open her mouth to speak. Soon, their clothes fell to the floor, and their bodies writhed. The man, who had held back for a long time, finally got what he wanted.

As for Sylvia, she was like a flower that was methodically disassembled, dismantled, and assembled, only to be dismantled all over again...

Just like that, they repeatedly tossed and turned until late at night before the man let go of her and she fell asleep. The room was silent.

Odell saw her fall asleep as soon as her eyes closed and could not help but pat her rosy face. “Sylvia?”

She ignored him.

He chuckled. ‘She’s really fallen asleep.’

Then, he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom with an insatiable look. The warm water washed away his sweat. After washing, he returned to the bed in his pajamas and wrapped her back in his arms.

“Can you be gentler?” The woman’s hoarse voice suddenly

spoke up.

He froze and looked at her.

Sylvia had her eyes closed, but her brow was furrowed. She was obviously uncomfortable despite sleeping. The words were also clearly spoken subconsciously.

He suddenly remembered the words that he had stopped her from saying when he was making out with her. Was this what she wanted to say?

He smiled and said softly, “Okay, I'll be gentler next time.” He touched her forehead, intending to tidy up her hair but was burned by the temperature of her skin.

His eyes flickered, and he immediately touched her forehead again. It was hot. Not only was her forehead hot, but her cheeks. were scalding as well.

“Sylvia? Sylvia, wake up,” he hurriedly called her. Sylvia frowned deeply, not willing to open her eyes. She lay in his arms and muttered, “Odell, | don’t feel too good...”

Odell immediately sat up and wrapped her in his arms. He used one hand to pick up the cell phone placed by the bed and called Jacob.

The call quickly connected.

He frowned and said, “Call the doctor immediately!”

When Sylvia woke up again, it was already the next morning. Chapter 863

Odell sat beside her, his gaze fixed on her. Isabel and Liam were also lying in her bed, looking at her with large eyes. Aunt Tonya stood not far away with Flint in her arms.

Seeing Sylvia awake, she quickly asked, “Syl, are you feeling better?”

Sylvia was embarrassed and could not help but glare at the man beside her.

‘It’s all his fault! If he hadn’t been so... | wouldn’t have had a fever last night! Now, I’m surrounded by the three children and Aunt Tonya! It's so embarrassing!”

Odell gave a low cough. “I'll be gentle in the future.”

Isabel immediately asked, “What do you mean, Baddie? Does Mommy's fever have something to do with you?” Liam also looked at him in confusion.

Odell looked at them coldly, “Mind your own business.”

Isabel pouted and harrumphed.

Aunt Tonya laughed dryly and said, “Uh... Syl, if you’re okay now, then feed Flint. He’s hungry now.”

Sylvia quickly took Flint into her arms.

Odell looked at Isabel and Liam, who were still staring at Sylvia.” You two, get out.”

“You get out too!” Sylvia chided with a raised voice.

Odell’s eyes flickered.

The two children and Aunt Tonya were also startled.

Sylvia realized that she had lost her temper after yelling, but before she could say anything, Odell stood up and smiled at her. “Okay, call me if you need anything.”

Then, he picked up the children with one hand each and carried them out.

Chapter 864 Sylvia’s heart thudded. The unhappy feeling of being tossed around all night until she developed a fever inexplicably disappeared.

She pursed her lips and nursed Flint.

Aunt Tonya stood next to her and could not help but smile secretly when she saw Sylvia's happy face. The trauma of those six months had finally passed. It would be best if Thomas never appeared again. The scene where Thomas appeared suddenly was like an illusion.

For the next few days, Sylvia did hear any news from him, and she did not receive any messages from him on her phone either. He seemed to have disappeared from Westchester.

Did he suddenly appear in front of the hospital that day just to see her and ask how she was doing?

Sylvia warily cooped herself up at home for most of the month before she could no longer resist going out.

Isabel and Liam started school long ago.

That morning, Sylvia took Flint and sent them to preschool with Aunt Tonya, then went to the nearby shopping street for a stroll. It was spring, so the weather and atmosphere were excellent.

Jacob and Ben also followed them closely.

He

After a day of shopping and eating, it was time for the two little ones to leave school in the evening. Sylvia took the car to pick them up and returned home with them.

Soon after she came back, Odell also came back from work. Isabel jumped toward him as soon as he entered the door. He picked the little girl up with one hand and went to sit next to Sylvia.

Sylvia was playing with Flint. The little one was not as sleepy as before and had his eyes wide open. When he saw Odell and Isabel, he immediately looked at them.

When Isabel also picked up a toy to tease him, Flint reached out to grab it. The brother and sister played around like this for a while.

Odell looked at Sylvia and asked, “Did you go out today?”

“Yeah. Aunt Tonya and | took Flint out. We sent Isabel and Liam to preschool and went shopping for the day.”

“Where did you go?” he asked again, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to pull her to his side.

Sylvia leaned against him and said, “We went to a mall, ate lots of good food, and bought lots of stuff for you and the children.”

The corners of her mouth had a smile as she said that. She was obviously very happy. Odell curled his lips and asked, “What did you buy for me?”

“Some ties, belts, and pajamas.” Her voice grew smaller when she said the word ‘pajamas’.

Seeing that she did not dare to look at him and was even blushing, he held back his laughter and asked, “What kind of pajamas did you buy for me?”

Sylvia did not look at him and said, “Let’s talk about it when we go back to the room tonight.”

She did not want to talk to him about this in front of the children.

Odell narrowed his eyes. “Sure.”

Dinner was quickly finished.

Odell handed Flint to Aunt Tonya, shooed Isabel and Liam who wanted to come up to their bedroom away, and went back with Sylvia.

As soon as they entered, he pinned Sylvia to the wall and kissed him. He was very strong, and his kiss was very overbearing, not giving her any time to get ready.

However, Sylvia was also used to making out with him this time, so she had some immunity physically and mentally. She had no other discomfort apart from some weakness in her legs.

However, Odell did not take her to bed or tear her clothes on the spot like usual. After kissing her for a while, he released her and looked at her with a deep gaze. “Where are the pajamas you bought me?”

Sylvia blushed as she looked at him. “In the closet.”

Odell immediately dragged her to the walk-in closet. Sylvia opened his wardrobe and took out a stack of newly bought pajamas for him. The styles were almost the same, and they were all perfectly modest tops and pants. The only difference was that some were long and some were short.

Chapter 865 The colors were either black or gray. Odell raised his brows. “That's it?”

“Yes. The clothes are made of quality materials, so they won't tear easily. They should last for a while.” Furthermore, they were not expensive, so she would not feel bad even if he tore one every day.

Odell curled his lips and asked, “Did you buy some for yourself too?” “Yeah.”

“Show me.”

Sylvia frowned. “There’s nothing to see. | didn’t ask to see yours either.” Odell narrowed his eyes. “I won't wear them, but I want to see.”

His wicked eyes seemed to see through her at a glance.

Sylvia’s face grew hot, and many scenes of her being bullied by him suddenly flashed in her mind. She was embarrassed for no reason and refused him directly, “I don’t want to.”

Odell strode in front of her, pinned her to the wardrobe, and lifted her chin. His thin lips brushed against her own as he said ina husky and overbearing voice, “If you don’t wear it tonight, then you don’t get to wear it. Period.”

Sylvia could not help but glare at him. Chapter 865

He smiled wickedly.

What else could she do?

She did not want to have another fever.

She turned around, opened her wardrobe, and pointed to the pajamas hanging there. “It’s all there. Most of yours are matching couple sets.”

Odell glanced over and saw the array of black and gray. They were not just matching couple sets. Even the style was the same as his, with a combination of tops and pants. There was not a single dress.

His expression darkened. “Throw them all away. You’re not allowed to wear them.”

Sylvia looked at him. “What if | don’t?”

He narrowed his eyes. “Try me.”

If she dared to wear any of those, he would tear it all up.

Sylvia could not help but punch him. “I spent a lot of money on these clothes.’

“Do | look like | lack money?” His voice was displeased.

Sylvia said nothing.

He did not lack money, and she also had savings and was not short of money, but she did not want to squander money. She had bought these modest pajamas because she did not want him to tear up her pajamas every night. He did not know Chapter 865

how the servants in charge of cleaning the room viewed her every day.

“I'll allow you to wear it once.” He suddenly reached out and touched her face.

Sylvia’s eyes flickered, then she frowned, looking reticent. It was obvious she did not want to wear it for just one night.

Odell was silent for a few seconds. “I'll let you wear it for two nights.” Sylvia continued to frown. “Three nights.” She pursed her lips and frowned.

Odell pursed his lips gloomily. “One week.” Sylvia’s eyes brightened, but not long after that, she frowned again, pretending to be unhappy. However, he pinched her face.

He narrowed his eyes at her. “If you give me that look one more time, then | won't let you wear it at all.” Sylvia hurriedly said, “Okay, one week. One week will do.” Then, she curled her lips and laughed.

She already wanted to laugh when he said he would let her wear it for one day. She was just messing with him, but unexpectedly, he compromised for a week.

Odell saw her suddenly smiling face and immediately pinned her hips to the wardrobe. The wardrobe seemed unable to bear the force and creaked. However, that was just the beginning. After he kissed her lips, he never put her down again.

That night, it was only when she lost consciousness that she realized she did not even manage to put on her newly bought pajamas.

When she begged for mercy out of exhaustion and fell asleep, Odell changed her into one of the new ones.
