MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 10 Episode 55

Sylvia bit her lip. “I really didn‘t want to disturb your work.” “Sylvia, who am | to you?”

She hesitated. “Well, you are my husband.”

He lifted her face, his dark eyes staring into hers. “Instead of seeking help from your husband for such a big matter, you went to an unfamiliar man instead? Would you be happy if you were me?”

Sylvia‘s chest tightened, and her throat choked up.

After a while, she said softly, “I’m sorry. | didn’t mean to. | just…”

“Didn’t want to disturb me, huh?” His lips curled up in a cold and self-deprecating smile.

Sylvia pursed her lips. That was what she thought. She just did not know why he was this angry. The atmosphere was quiet for a long time, and his hand suddenly let go of her face.

His dark eyes looked at her somewhat distantly. “Forget it, it’s not your fault.”

After all, she had forgotten everything that happened in the past nine years. She had forgotten so many memories of being with him, so he could not blame her for being so distant from him.

He then turned around and walked into the study.

Sylvia froze in place. For some reason, her chest was tight, and she felt suffocated.

Perhaps because the environment outside the hotel was too quiet, Sylvia felt that the room was also very quiet. She sat in a chair that was placed right next to the study door. She sat there for as long as Odell was inside.

It was getting dark outside now.

Grumble…

Her stomach protested in hunger.

Sylvia turned her head toward the closed door of the study and stared at it.

‘Should | knock on the door and go in to call him? But what would I say to him? Should | apologize?

‘| already explained it to him, but he still refuses to come out. He must still be angry with me. If he sees me, he might get even angrier.’

Sylvia pursed her lips.

However, at that moment, the door of the study creaked as it was opened from the inside. Sylvia turned her head around.

Odell‘s tall figure came out, and his dark eyes looked at her.

She smiled sweetly at him. “Are you finished with work?”

Odell looked at her figure sitting cross—legged on a chair and asked, “Were you here this entire time?” “Yeah,” she said in a small voice, “I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

“No.” His voice suddenly turned a few degrees colder.

Sylvia‘s lips twitched. “Oh.”

Just as the atmosphere quieted down again, another growl broke the silence.

She hurriedly covered her stomach and looked at him with a face red with embarrassment.

Odell curled his lips and patted her head. “Go and change. We’re having dinner with John later. He said that he’ll bring Sherry along as well.”

Sylvia‘s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, I’ll be ready in a minute.” She jumped off the chair and ran into the bedroom with her bare feet.

She changed into a lilac dress that cinched at the waist, her hair was pulled behind her head with a purple hairband, and she wore delicate leather shoes.

The man’s straight figure sat gracefully on the sofa.

Sylvia trotted up to him and said with a smile, “I’m ready.”

Her smiling face was bright. Coupled with her outfit, she looked fresh and playful.

He pursed his lips, got up to hold her hand, and led her out.

Feeling the heat of his palm, Sylvia looked at him a few times. Although his face was as cold as usual, it seemed that he was not angry at her anymore.

Feeling relieved, she pressed herself to his body.

The man’s tall figure stiffened for a moment. Then, he took her shoulders and wrapped her in his arms, saying in a low voice,” Stop squirming.”
