Capítulo 169


    Chapter 169 In order to prevent his stepmother from finding out that his weakness was Tara, he had to


    maintain a good rtionship with Sylvia as husband and wife. He could only hide the fact that Tara was


    his girlfriend, and they even had to pretend to be unfamiliar when they met.


    He knew that she suffered a lot in those years.


    In an instant, his expression eased up. He raised his hands to wrap around her and


    said, “I won‘t let you suffer like that again.”


    Tara was secretly relieved when she saw his expression, but she continued to sob. “I know, but I‘m just s


    cared. I think that Sylvia has changed a lot. I‘m really afraid that she‘ll steal you away.


    Odell pursed his lips.


    That woman had indeed gained a lot of skills, but…


    a


    He thought of the turtle she carved, and he thought of her figure leaving without looking back after he sai


    d that she could see the children. His eyes darkened slightly.


    He said, “Don‘t worry, she doesn‘t have those thoughts about me anymore.”


    “Really?”


    m


    “Yeah.”


    Tara immediately lowered her head again and said with a sobbing


    voice, “I was wrong, Odell. I won‘t do something this stupid again.”

    Odell was silent for a moment and asked her, “Does the matter of the Rosses and the Ledgers suddenly


    wanting Sylvia to marry Michael have anything to do with you?”


    Tara‘s eyes shed, but she soon lifted her face and looked at him with eyes red from crying.” No. I just


    wanted to set her up with Tristan. How could I possibly want her to marry someone like Michael?”


    “In that case, good.” Odell‘s face softened as he patted her back. “Let‘s eat.” Tara was


    instantly relieved when she saw that he was no longer


    suspicious and angry. At the same time, she could not help but


    curse at Sylvia for being ab*tch. It must have been Sylvia who asked Alister to tell Odell what she instruct


    ed her to do!


    Sylvia ate her dinner and arrived at the old Carter residence before 7:30 p.m.


    Odell should have instructed the guards


    to allow her in, but they refused to let her in no matter what she said.


    However, before long, Madam Carter came out with her crutches, huffing angrily.


    The two little ones seemed to hear themotion and followed Madam Carter closely.

    Through the fence, they saw Sylvia and ran to the door, grabbing the fence with their little hands.


    Isabel opened her mouth and shouted, “Mommy! Mommy!” Liam also stared intently at Sylvia.


    Madam Carter barked at the guards, “Open the gates now!”


    The guard was troubled. “Madam, Master Carter


    ordered that Ms. Ross mustn‘t be allowed in until 8 p.m.” Madam Carter said angrily, “This is my house, no


    you don‘t open the gates, you don‘t have toe back to work


    tomorrow!” No one understood how worn out she had been by the little ones in the past two days.


    They were either crying and screaming to see their mother, asking her to take them to their mother,


    or even asking her to kick Odell out of the house. Furthermore, she only learned today from her old


    friend that Sylvia was Sunflower. She absolutely loved Sunflower‘s works. If Odell continued to stop Sylvia


    the children, Madam Carter would really kick him out of the house.


    The two bodyguards were in a difficult position. They could not offend Madam Carter, but they


    did not dare to offend Master Carter either.


    The two children were right in front of her eyes. Sylvia was so anxious that she said, “Odell will probably b


    As long as you don‘t say anything, he won‘t know either.”


    Madam Carter knocked the cane in her hand and shouted at them again. “Open the gates!”


    The two guards sighed and quickly opened the gates. In an instant, Isabel and Liam scurried to her like


    little rabbits that had broken from their cage.
