Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2

Sylvia was kicked out of the property shortly after Odell left with Tara in his arms.

She was swiftly placed under house arrest after returning home, forbidden to leave the house for any reason other than when she needed to perform her routine pregnancy checkup. This was also the same period when she received the divorce papers. After that, Sylvia never saw Odell again-until a month after she gave birth. It was before noon, and Sylvia was spending time with her children in her room when she heard Tara’s voice drifting in from outside.

“Aunt Tonya, I’m here to pay Sylvia and her child a visit. Please excuse me.”

Aunt Tonya stood in front of the door and voiced her unfiltered discontent, “You aren’t welcome here. Get out!”

Tara sneered, “Odell already signed the divorce papers with Sylvia some time ago, and I will be marrying him soon. That means I’m going to be the boss of this place soon enough. Don’t you think you’re the one who should scram?”

Aunt Tonya was so exasperated that she could no longer bite her tongue. “You’re a shameless woman!”

Tara’s demeanor suddenly shifted. She raised her hand, ready to slap Aunt Tonya’s face. This was when Sylvia opened the door and stepped between Aunt Tonya and Tara. Her sudden appearance caught Tara off-guard for a moment. She quickly drew her hand back and proceeded to cast scrutinizing looks at Sylvia. Sylvia’s complexion was unhealthily pale, and her figure was quite unlike a woman who had just given birth as she looked skinny and frail. She regarded Tara with an indigent look. “Well, Tara, you’ve seen me. Will you leave now?” Tara was visibly pleased to see how poorly Sylvia was doing. She answered with a smirk, “I’d like to see the child too. Excuse me if you don’t mind.”

“The little one just fell asleep. Why don’t you come next time?”

“Next time?” Tara chuckled. “Sylvia, don’t tell me you forgot about the divorce papers you’ve signed with Odell? Odell will have full custody of the child, and when I marry him, I will be the mother too. If you have a shred of decency left, you’d let me see my child and have some bonding time. Maybe I’ll be nicer to the child in the future that way.” She did not try to mask her hostile intention as she said this.

Sylvia’s hands that were resting against the sides of her body clenched and tightened.
