MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 7 Episode 41

Sylvia ruffled his hair and asked, “Liam, why are you standing here?”

“No reason.” Liam looked at her and said, “Mommy, Uncle is here.”

“Alright, let’s go downstairs,” she said while taking Liam’s hand.

Liam peered at her face and noticed the dark, heavy circles under her eyes, sharp evidence of her lack of sleep.

He reflected that he should have never let Isabel go downstairs. It must have been her shouts that woke up their mother. He made a subtle, silent frown and restored the cool, stoic expression on his face shortly after.

They arrived in the living room.

Thomas was seated on the couch in the living room while the enamored Isabel was sitting on his lap and seemed very delighted to see him. “Uncle, drink some tea and have some snacks. Don’t be shy.”

Thomas smiled faintly.

Aunt Tonya, who was busy pouring him tea, was similarly amused by Isabel playing host and chuckled heartily. Sylvia took Liam to them and greeted Thomas with a smile, “Thomas, why are you here at this hour?”

“| brought Aunt Tonya here.” He looked at her tenderly and added, “And I’ve come to see you.

Sylvia could feel her face burning with embarrassment.

Aunt Tonya snickered upon witnessing this scene, then she turned to Isabel and Liam. “Isabel, Liam, | brought you two something tasty to eat. It’s outside. Could you kids come with me to

get it?” The moment she heard that there were tasty treats, Isabel sprung to action. “Alright!” She immediately hopped out of Thomas’ arms and strutted to Aunt Tonya.

Liam remained quiet the entire time. He gaped at Thomas with his large eyes, then at Sylvia before silently strutting over to Isabel. After that, the pair went off with Aunt Tonya and exited the living room.

It was just Sylvia and Thomas left in the living room.

Thomas got up and approached her. He gently brushed the corner of her eyes, the warmth of his fingers seemed to seep through. “You have bags under your eyes. Did you get any sleep last night?”

Sylvia blinked several times and replied, “I slept well. Maybe | just dreamt too much.”

Since she had broken things off with Odell, she saw no need to mention the sapphire ring.

Thomas did not press the issue and switched the topic. “I bought your favorite breakfast while

| was on the way here. Let’s eat.”

Sylvia answered pleasantly, “Okay.” Shortly after, Aunt Tonya returned with the children. They were carrying large bags of food. The containers did very little to contain the delicious aroma of the food within them.

Sylvia gulped hungrily. Then she made Thomas sit and eat breakfast with her.

While they were enjoying their merry breakfast, a phone suddenly rang and interrupted their moment.

Thomas took out his phone and glanced at it, then he turned to Sylvia. “I need to answer this. I’ll be right back.”

“Alright.” With the phone in hand, he walked to the yard outside the living room. Sylvia paid no attention to this and continued enjoying her breakfast with Aunt Tonya and the children.

Meanwhile, Thomas’ expression immediately transformed the moment he stepped past the threshold of the living room. A sharp, icy look seized his expression, giving him a completely different and even intimidating presence.

It was his assistant calling. His assistant reported dutifully, “Second Master, it’s nothing but chaos inside the Carter Corporation now. It’s the perfect storm for you to take over. Do you want to…?”

Thomas peered at Sylvia who was eating merrily in the living room and declared, “No. Follow the original plan. Destroy Carter Corporation.”

The assistant tried to persuade him. “Second Master, Carter Corporation is a big deal. If you can take over now, not only will you fulfill your mother’s wishes, but there’s a lot you can gain from it too…”

Thomas frowned sternly. “Just do as | say.”

The assistant recognized the sharpness in his voice that was not to be opposed. He took a deep breath and answered, “Alright, | understand.”

Thomas hung up the phone immediately and looked at Sylvia in the living room again.

She was occupied with the meal at the table. She would also dart the occasional glance at Isabel and Liam, and every time she looked at them, a wonderful smile would grace the corner of her lips.

Asoft, endearing look appeared in Thomas’ eyes. He smiled and went back to the living room.

If he had seized Carter Corporation right now, she would easily make out the connections between him and the recent crisis that befell Carter Corporation. It took so much for him to get to this point with her, so he could not risk letting her discover his involvement with what was happening
