Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 11

Odell shot her a look. “Weren’t you going to the gallery today?” Tara answered, “The exhibition has ended. Besides, I haven’t seen Liam for some time, so I figured I might as well come to see him on such a rare occasion where you’re taking him out.”

She turned to Liam and then noticed Isabel who was next to him. She was slightly startled. Why does this fat kid look so much like Liam? “Odell, who’s the little girl?” she turned to ask Odell while smiling.

“She’s Liam’s friend.”

This surprised Tara again.

How was it that this loner brat managed to make friends?

She studied Isabel again.

Isabel frowned and responded to her gaze with indifference.

This must be the awful lady that Aunt Tonya mentioned!

Tara quickly detected Isabel’s hostility towards her, and she felt a wave of discontent rising inside her. Still, she formed a smile and addressed Isabel, “What a cute little girl. What’s your name?”

She approached Isabel and appeared to want to hug her.

Liam immediately stepped in between Isabel and Tara, glaring icily at Tara. “Go away. Don’t come near her.”

Although his voice was still childish, there was a trace of superiority in his tone.

Tara’s face darkened for a moment, and she cursed the boy in her heart, ‘This damned brat, just you wait! Let’s see how I’ll take care of you after I marry Odell!’

She proceeded to sigh and explained her actions, “Liam, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any ill will towards her.”

She spoke to him as if her feelings had been wounded. Nevertheless, Liam ignored her and continued shielding Isabel from her. Tara twitched her lips and looked at Odell almost pleadingly.

Clearly, the children had a bad impression of Tara. He had been spending the day trying to bond with them and figured that there was nothing he could say to make them change their mind about her. He decided she would have to prove herself with her actions.
