Chapter 1339 The problem was that he could not find the concentration to do anything at all, nor did he have the capacity to socialize with his peers. He would head to Sylvia‘s workshop on the third floor and stay there with no specific purpose in mind. Sometimes he would sit there for hours on end. 

The only thing that preserved his sanity was thinking about how he would confront Sylvia when she finally returned home from her spontaneous getaway. 

At last, he had bided his time until the day when Sylvia was appointed to return. He had come up with dozens of approaches to confronting Sylvia by this point. 

It was only slightly past noon and he was already done with his work for the day and headed home. 

Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were playing hide–and–seek with Flint. 

Madam Carter was enjoying herself watching them play. 

When Odell returned home, he saw all of them hanging around in the living room but there was no sight of Sylvia. 

They were all rather astonished to see him returning home so much earlier than usual. 

Flint stopped hiding and emerged from behind the couch. 

He ran toward Odell and threw himself at him while crying out, “Daddy!” 

Odell took Flint into his arms and went to the couch. 

Flint asked in a perplexed voice, “Daddy, why did you come home so early today?” 

Odell answered nonchalantly, “There‘s not much to do at work today.” 

“Oh, I see.” 

Carter, and Sebastian exchanged knowing looks behind Odell‘s back. It took a lot of effort for them to suppress their laughter and hold their silence.
