Chapter 91
Every dish had been cooked to perfection, and it even gave Odell a sense of novel happiness with each bite he took
A few seconds of silence later, he said to Tara, “I have something to do later. You can have dinner on your own.” “Odell, I thought you are done with work. Are you going back to have dinner with Isabel and Liam?” she asked A slight hesitation later, he reluctantly hummied a reply Tara answered in disappointment, “Okay.” Odell asked, “Do you still have any money on your bank card? i’ll transfer some money over. You can have dinner with your friends and go shopping later. Buy anything that catches your eyes. You don’t need to hold back.”
Tara’s eyes shone upon hearing Odell’s generosity, but she remained calm and said, “Odell, I still have my own money. You don’t need to transfer any more to me now I don’t want to always spend your money” Odell did not say a thing and simply transferred two million to her
Al Sylvia’s place, just when the sun almost disappeared over the horizon, Isabel and Liam came in
Isabel was running happily in a cute yellow dress
Liam wore his usual white shirt and black overall. He was quiet as always as he followed his sister in
Sylvia had already prepared dinner, so she was just waiting for them to come over. The weather was great today, and having a spacious yard allowed Sylvia to move the table and chairs outside for the kids.

After hugging and kissing them, she told the kids to play with Aunt Tonya in the yard while she prepared dinner for them. A while later, she came out of the kitchen with a pot of sauce and another pot of pasta
To her surprise, the laughter and noises in the yard somehow went silent. Curious, she hastened her steps to the yard and then saw the uninvited Odell sitting on one of the chairs. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Isabel was sitting diagonally opposite him with her arms crossed and her brows furrowed at him
Liam was beside his sister, and he looked a lot calmer than the girl beside him, but he was also baffled by Odell’s presence.
Further away, Aunt Tonya failed to wrap her head around the situation Sylvia was caught off guard. She asked, “odell, why are you here?” Expressionless, he answered, “I’m here to bring the kids liome.” Sylvia had a glance at his arrogant sitting posture and said, “I’ll send thenı back after they have had dinner” Odell did not say a word but showed no sigui of getting up either. Sylvia frowned ‘Is he trying to stay for dinner again?’ Aunt Tonya took the pot from Sylvia’s tray and put it in the middle of the table. Isabel and Liam then pushed their plates closer to the pot. Sylvia did not care about Odell. She filled the children’s plate with sauce and spaghetti. “Thank you, Mommy!” “Thank you, Mommy.” The kids thanked their mother together before they dug in The aroma of the sauce pervaded the air as they slurped and chewed like the little monsters they were Odell tightened his lips. “Ahem.” Sylvia said, “If you want to have some, bring your own plate over.” There was only so much pasta in the pol, and she did not prepare Odell’s portion, but since he came, it was unwise for her to send him off. Odell glared at her.
Sylvia looked away and filled Aunt Tonya and her own plates with food. She turned a blind eye to him.
He wore a grumpy expression.
After slurping the spaghetti, Isabel chewed and said with her oily mouth, “Big baddie, Liam and I brought our plates forward ourselves. You are already an adult, but you still want Mommy to bring you food. Shame, shame…” Odell was silenced. He looked at Sylvia and noticed that she was holding back her
laughter Finally, he grunted and got up. He took a plate and cutlery from the box beside tbe table and got himself some spaghetti from the pot. Then, be returned to his seat and started eating
