MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 9 Episode 3

However, she could still hear their voices from behind the divider.

The waiter attended to them politely. “Welcome, sir, madam. This is our menu. What would you be having today?” Lily asked, “Master Carter, what do you want?”

Odell said, “I’m okay with anything. You order what you like.”

Lily said with a smile, “I came back to Westchester City for less than a year and I’m still having a hard time learning the local specialty. Why don’t you order for us? I’m okay with anything as well. I’ll have what you are having.”

She sounded lively and gentle.

Odell then said to the waiter, “All your signature dishes.”

“Uh… Okay, yes sir. Right away, sir.” The waiter was slightly taken aback by his order. Lily was also stunned speechless.

Sylvia was also surprised. Lily was his fiancée and yet he acted like he was having dinner with a stranger. For a moment there, she failed to hold back her urge and

giggled.

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy.

Sylvia anxiously covered her mouth with her hands and dared not move a muscle. Moments later, the waiter came by and said, “Sir, madam, do you want anything to drink?” Lily said, “Two orange juices please.”

“Right away, madam.” The waiter nodded and walked past Sylvia.

Things got quiet again. Neither Lily nor Odell spoke to each other.

Awhile went by and they still did not speak to each other.

‘Had he noticed me? If he did, he’d give me a hard time…’

A quick thought later, Sylvia decided to have a peek.

She carefully turned around but the moment she moved, she saw a towering figure before her eyes.

The man was standing less than a meter away from her.

Sylvia froze for a moment. She then feebly looked up and saw the man’s deep eyes staring at her. Odell crossed his arms as he peered down at her.

Sylvia awkwardly curled her lips and said, “Hey, what a coincidence.” Odell grinned. “Was it funny?”

“Huh?” Sylvia feigned ignorance.

He continued to glare at her, and she pursed her lips.

Lily then came by with a smile on her face. “Ms. Ross, what a coincidence! Why are you having lunch here alone?”

As a fellow woman, Sylvia could hear the annoyance in Lily’s words. It seemed like Lily assumed she was here to ruin their date.

Sylvia said, “I was having a pregnancy check at the hospital earlier, so | came here for lunch.” She had a glance at her bag with the report as she explained.

Lily followed her glance and saw the report as well. After she noticed the feast on her table, her expression shifted. She smiled and asked, “You’re here for a pregnancy check? How was it?”

“It went well.”

Lily then shot a glance at her bulging belly. “Ms. Ross, your belly looks like you’re six months pregnant. | think you can do a 4D scan of the baby and find out if it’s a girl or boy.”

Sylvia’s gaze shifted. “No, it’s not even six months yet so it’s not ready for the scan.”

“Oh, | see. | was hoping to have a look at your baby. | believe with your beauty, the baby must either be handsome or beautiful,” Lily said. “You’re too kind, Ms. Springsteen,” Sylvia replied softly.

She clearly felt a frosty look glaring at her and it came from behind her. The man was also staring at her belly. It was as though the baby sensed the dangerous presence, it kicked her.

Sylvia put her hand on her belly to calm the baby down but Odell took it as a sign of her protecting the baby, which put a grim look on his face.
