Chapter 88
Chapter 88 Liam stared at Odell coldly.
Odell looked at Sylvia.
Sylvia blinked helplessly before she tried to flatter him by saying, “Odell, you can bring them back, but we just finished making grilled chicken Can you let them finish first?”
She looked at him in anticipation.
Odell simply hummed as a reply, which surprised Sylvia as she did not expect him to grant her permission In order to prevent him from going back on his promise, she quickly said to Isabel and Liam,” Isabel, Liam, sit down and eat.”
Isabel and Liam noticed that Odell showed no signs of causing trouble, so they lowered their caution and went back to the table.
Sylvia got them their plates and cutlery and was also about to sit down. “Ahem.” The man suddenly grunted.
Sylvia looked at him
Odell stood there like a monolith, showing no intention to leave Some doubts later, she cautiously asked, “Odell, do you want to have some?”
Oddell had a glance over at the barbecue feast on the table and looked rather suspicious. “You made all these?”
“Yeah, I made them.” “Are they even edible?” Sylvia was speechless. Before she could argue, Isabel grumbled, “Big baddie, just eat if you want.” Odell tightened his lips. Sylvia forced a smile on her face “I think they are okay. Why don’t you give them a try?”
He hummed an expressionless reply and went over to the table. Sylvia disliked his attitude. He wanted to try her cooking, but he acted like he was forced to do so under duress. However, she could not do anything because she was no match for him in various aspects
For the sake of the kids, she put up with his lousy attitude. She told Aunt Tonya to get him a set of cutlery.
Sylvia then sat down with the kids, and Odell sat down opposite her.
The lively dinner somehow turned quiet after Odell’s arrival. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The two little rascals ate in silence.
Aunt Tonya was beside the kids. She kept switching her attention between Odell and Sylvia, and she dared not make a noise either. Sylvia felt strange This might be the first time she was having dinner with him in a rather calm and peaceful environment ever since she came back to Westchester.
It felt like lime went back to when they were married and she would wait for him lo come home every day with meticulous cooking They would sit opposite each other and have dinner.
The only difference was, back then, he seeined more distant, and every dinner felt like a chore to him. He would leave for his study the moment he was done.
Now, he obviously enjoyed Use dinner much better.
There was slight disgust on his face, but his hands and mouth never stopped. He even ate the fried pumpkin pie that Sylvia had prepared specially for Isabel and Liam. Sylvia was a little surprised. Out of the blue, Isabel arrogantly asked him, “Big baddie, how’s my Mommy’s cooking? Fantastic, isn’t it?” Odell answered with no obvious reaction on his face. “Il’s okay”
Isabel pouled. “Hmph Stop pretending you ate three pieces of our fried pumpkin!” Odell and Sylvia were both silenced. The air felt a little tenser than before.
He looked at Sylvia.
Sylvia was rather calm when she noticed his gaze. She put on a smile and said, “If you want more, I can ask Aunt Tonya to make more for you.”
The terrible experience that she went through three years ago still felt like it had just happened yesterday She was not that stupid to proactively make dinner for him.
Odell’s eyes dimmed a little. He was not blind or deaf, and he could see the apathy in her fake smile and the nonchalance in between her words.
She had prepared the feast for the kids, and now she wanted Aunt Tonya to bring him food instead. It was obvious that she did not want to make anything for him. “It’s fine.” He put his cutlery down. Sylvia did not care and continued eating with the kids. Odell suddenly turned broody, and a moment later, he grunted. Curious, Sylvia turned to him.
