Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 401 

Sylvia knew that she was no match for Odell and had already accepted this fact a few days ago. Still, she could no longer bear to keep silent and burst out with tears in her eyes. “Odell, why are you doing this to me? I’m just another regular person. I’m not some kind of object for you to vent your anger at!” Odell grabbed her by her jaw and looked into her eyes that were soaking with tears. He answered grimly, “Because you betrayed me and you hurt Grandma!” 

“I didn’t!” Sylvia could no longer hold herself back. She cried out in a tearful voice, “I didn’t hurt Grandma. And there was never anything going on between me and Edmund. Why do you just refuse to believe me?! Why?!” 

Odell frowned deeply. After a moment of silence, he answered, “Because you don’t deserve my trust at all.” 

She fell silent. She stared at his stoic expression, her vision had long turned blurry due to the tears in her eyes. She stared blankly for a second before she began to chuckle madly, “Heh… hehe…” It was true. He already proved that he did not trust her when he had her slapped sixty times years ago. How could she forget? Why did she agree to remarry him? What would it take for her to learn her lesson? She did this to herself! She could not stop her laughing fit which only grew louder and more hysterical as time went on. 

Odell seemed repulsed by this display and immediately got out of bed. He grabbed a set of clothes and exited the room. 

He did not return for a couple of days. 

She did not know if he came back during the day when she was sleeping. All she knew was that she had never seen even a glimpse of his shadow during the hours when she was awake. 

Until the day she was to see the children. 

She woke up and did her makeup, then put on a simple dress before heading to the Carter’s old residence with the bodyguards escorting her. Isabel and Liam had been waiting for her.

Sylvia smiled gladly and helped Isabel up. Then she took Liam’s
