SWNOVELS Chapter 45
Chapter 45
Isabel turned around and hugged her mother’s thigh. She cried, “Mommy, I don’t want to go back with him. I wanna stay with you.” Liam did not say a word or do anything. He simply stood by Sylvia's side expressionlessly. Sylvia smiled at Odell and said, “Odell, they still want to play a little more. Can I accompany them for a little longer?”
Her tone displayed obvious flattery.
Odell tightened his lips.
Before he could say anything, Tristan stepped in. “Master Odell, it's still early. I know you and Sylvia are over, but she’s still the kids’ mother. She has the right to accompany them.” Odell's face turned even colder. He curled his lips into a grin and said, “You're right, but I decide if she has the right or not."
Tristan was silenced.
Odell had a glance at Sylvia. “I'll say it one more time. Take the kids inside.”
He sounded cold, and even his voice took on a dictatorial tone.
Sylvia was used to his tone, so it was nothing to her, but Tristan had enough of his attitude. Upset, he blurted,” Master Odell, Sylvia is your ex-wife. You guys spent two years together. Can't you at least speak properly to her?” Odell grinned. “You have no right to meddle in our business.” Sylvia noticed things were getting out of hand, so she tugged at Tristan and said, “Tristan, that's enough.” If he continued, Odell might really forbid her from seeing the kids again. Annoyed, Tristan furrowed his brows, but he could not do anything either. He helplessly shut his mouth.
Sylvia then turned to the kids.
Isabel was pouting while Liam wore a glower. Sylvia had to coax them. “Isabel, Liam, go back with Daddy first. I'll see you guys soon.”
“I don’t want to! I want to be with you, Mommy!" Isabel hugged her thigh even tighter.
Liam did not say anything but did not move either. Sylvia was out of options. “Isabel, be a good girl. I will see you soon,” she said as she carried her into the car. The moment Isabel was placed on the rear seat, Odell gripped her. She could not break free at all. All she could do was wave her hands in a flurry, whining for her mother.
Liam was better. He simply sat down quietly after Sylvia carried him inside, but the grumpy look on his face was obvious as well
Sylvia was having a heart-wrenching moment as she watched her kids being taken away. Liam was grumpy while Isabel almost broke down in tears.
Fortunately, Sylvia was able to keep her calm and rationally closed the door. Right after the car drove away, it started to drizzle. Despite the light shower, it was rather cold.
Sylvia stood like a monolith as she watched the car drive away.
Tristan went up to her and said, “Sylvia, let's go inside. It's raining.”
Sylvia did not react. She wanted to wait for the car to leave her sight.
Meanwhile, inside the car, Isabel was throwing a tantrum. “You baddie! I hate you! You big baddie!” Isabel punched Odell’s chest.
Liam stared at the window and at the drizzle outside. He furrowed his brows and said softly,” It's raining.”
Isabel blinked before she, too, looked outside the window.
Indeed, it was raining. Liam then said, “Mommy just recovered from a fever yesterday. She can't be in the rain again.” Odell furrowed his brows upon hearing that. It reminded him of the scene where Sylvia had apologized to him in the rain the other day. Isabel continued punching her father's chest and screamed, “Big baddie, hurry up and go back for her! If she's sick again, I'll hate you when I grow up!”
Odell was speechless. He tightened his lips and then said to the driver, “Turn around.”
The driver immediately turned the car around.
Two minutes later, the car arrived at the Starz Club entrance again where Sylvia and Tristan were still standing. When she saw the car come back, it surprised her.
Tristan was also surprised. His hands that were holding his jacket as he tried to put it over Sylvia froze as well.
