Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 637

Odell looked at her profoundly, his lips held into a frown. Sylvia thought that all that stress from recent events must have gotten to his head which led to him acting this way.

She refrained from going on for fear that it might cause him to further lose his mind. Either way, she would find some way to get Isabel and Liam out of this place after she met them later. After it seemed like Odell had calmed down, she peered at his pocket. Odell caught her stealing looks at his pocket and asked, “What are you looking at?” “Didn’t you just put a ring in your pocket?” Sylvia asked. “Yeah.” Odell took it out of his pocket, assuming that Sylvia took interest in the ring. The street lamps along the side of the road cast beams of light down to where they were. Under such sufficient lighting, Sylvia could easily recognize the delicately polished, vintage sapphire ring that rested in the center of his palm. She immediately frowned. Odell was paying close attention to her reaction and upon noticing her change of expression, he blurted, “What’s wrong?” Sylvia looked up at him with puzzlement and asked, “Why is this ring with you?” Odell narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, “Do you know this ring?” Instead of answering him, Sylvia asked another question, “Did Tara give it to you?” Odell’s eyes gleamed with certain alertness. “How did you know that she gave it to me?” Sylvia eyed the ring again. She explained without paying attention to the perplexed look in Odell’s eyes, “Because this ring used to be mine. I gave it to her because she liked it.” Nothing but silence for several seconds. After the brief silence, the man suddenly roared, “Stop!” The driver braked.

The sudden command frightened him. He promptly pulled the car to the side of the road.

Since there was not much traffic along the road, the entire road was filled with an eerie silence after the car stopped.

He sharpened the pointed look in his eyes and questioned,” Why did this boy give you this ring?” Sylvia sensed something wrong with his temperament but still answered him truthfully, “I believe it was as a gift of gratitude for saving him.

I remember being very scared at the time, but I was also worried that he would be beaten to death, so I cried out ‘Police! Police!’ to scare the group away. He already received a pretty bad beating
