MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 11 Episode 14

There were not a lot of tourists at the estate, but that did not mean there were none. A few nearby people looked over as Sylvia was lifted off the vehicle.

Sylvia covered her face. “Odell, what the hell are you doing? Put me down!”

“Tell me where you want to go.” Lowering his head, he brushed his thin lips against her ear and murmured gruffly, “I’ll carry you there.”

Sylvia, “…”

She felt a creeping rush under her skin while rosiness flushed her cheeks.

Sylvia shot him an angry look. “Put me down now!”

Curling his lips, Odell put forth his charms. “You can start by telling me where you want to go.” Sylvia shoved her fury back down her throat. “I’m not going to go off on my own. I’m coming with you.” No sooner had Sylvia said it than she was put back down on her feet.

Without a chance to step away from Odell, Sylvia was seized by the hand.

“Come on. Let’s go over there.”

Holding her hand, he led her to the pine tree forest.

The pine tree lined up in neat rows with lush foliage hanging tall and proud. The rushing of breezes brought along whiffs of pine while the earth was scattered with pinecones.

It was like walking into another world.

The greenery took away all of Sylvia’s worries and burdens, even to the point that she could forget about his control over her hand.

The forest was pretty big.

Although they had been hiking for quite a while, Sylvia believed that they were going deeper into the forest with no end in sight. Somehow or rather, other tourists were nowhere to be found. They were all alone. Suddenly, she felt a warm graze across her forehead.

Sylvia lifted her chin and met him at eye-level. “Why did you touch me?”

The annoyance was apparent in her tone and face.

The man simply grinned. “A pinecone fell on your hair.”

“Why didn’t | know about it?”

“Maybe you didn’t feel it.”

Sylvia stared intently at him. “Where’s the pinecone?”

He kept a straight face throughout. “It dropped on the ground.”

Sylvia shifted her gaze to the ground and found pinecones everywhere.

She glared at him before moving ahead.

Still holding her hand, Odell quietly stayed by her side. A cold breeze blew against their skin. Sylvia shivered as the wind was chillier than ever.

Ajacket was then draped on her shoulders. The huge and wide jacket bore the warmth of his body. The warmth was transferred onto Sylvia’s body.

Less than two seconds later, Sylvia reached out to pull the jacket off.

Odell held her hand down. “It’s chilly. Don’t take it off.”

He sounded forceful.

Sylvia furrowed her brows at him.

All he was wearing was a black shirt.

“I’m not cold. You can have it,” she replied.

Seeing that she was awkward about the whole thing, Odell uttered with a smile, “I don’t feel cold either.” “| didn’t say you were cold.”

“| never said that you didn’t say that | was cold.”

Sylvia could burn holes in his head with the look she was giving

him.

He smiled faintly albeit tenderly and charmingly.

This was not the same cold and cruel man as she remembered three years ago.

Yet, this was the guy who was unfaithful to their marriage, knocked her off her feet, pinned her down, and slapped her sixty times just because of what Tara said!

Overwhelmed by restlessness, Sylvia blurted, “Save your kindness for someone else. I’d rather freeze to death than wear your jacket.”

Under the bright light, the man’s lofty silhouette froze. Shock was written all over his handsome face. It never occurred to him that these heartless words could come from Sylvia. His hand over hers withdrew and fell by his side.

Sylvia removed his jacket right there and then before tossing it at him. Turning on her heel, she walked on.
