Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

In the black car that was speeding down the road, Liam sat in his child seat and was staring straight ahead.

He said, “No need to pick me up tomorrow. I’m going to have dinner there. I’ll go home with Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob after dinner.”

Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob were the bodyguards responsible for safeguarding him.

He was telling this to Odell, who was sitting next to him. Odell frowned, looking a little displeased by this. The child had always spoken with a commanding tone, and it seemed like he would never accept any form of questioning once he had announced something. One would wonder where he learned such manners from. Truly, he was Odell’s flesh and blood. Odell scowled and stated sternly, “Don’t play till too late, and remember to come home early.”

It seemed like Liam did not hear what he said. His eyes continued staring ahead of him while his mind was still filled with thoughts about the time he spent with his mother and sister.

‘My mommy is so gentle and my sister is so cute. If only I could be with them all the time…’ Odell, who could not draw a response from his son, shot him an unimpressed glare. After a while, the car stopped at the Carters’. When Liam entered the house, Odell turned to the two bodyguards. He asked them, “Which classmate’s house did Liam go to today?”

One of the bodyguards replied, “It was the desk-mate of the young master. Her name is Isabel.”

“A girl?”

“Yes.”

“What’s she like?”

“She’s very vibrant and charming. The young master enjoyed playing with her. She’s a child actor who’s gained a bit of popularity.”

A child actor?

Then again, the kindergarten they went to was reputable for upholding privacy, so it was not surprising that a child actor would enroll there.

Odell had no further questions. He just instructed them, “Watch him closely and make sure to report to me immediately if anything comes up.”
