Chapter 8

The mother, son, and daughter trio hugged for some time before breaking up. Sylvia sat on the floor with them and listened to Isabel narrate her meeting with Liam in kindergarten.

After she finished telling her story, she turned up to her mother with her chubby face and seemed like she was expecting praise. Sylvia smiled and lowered herself to plant a kiss on her daughter’s cheeks. “Good work, Isabel.”

Isabel chuckled.

Liam suddenly turned to Sylvia as well with his cheeks that resembled two freshly baked buns.

He always wore a quiet, discrete look on his face. His large eyes were like pearls as he stared at his mother expectantly. Sylvia immediately kissed him on the cheeks as well. “Liam, good work too.” Liam pursed his lips and smiled shyly.

Sylvia proceeded to ask him, “Liam, could you tell us about your life at home?”

She wanted to know about his life in the past three years.

If it turned out that Tara mistreated Liam, she would do everything in her power to take her son back from Odell! Upon asking this question, she immediately noticed Liam’s expression darkening slightly. He responded dully, “My life is boring.” Boring?

Sylvia was taken aback.

Liam explained, “Before I started going to kindergarten, every day is the same as the other. It’s either playing games, eating, or spending time with Great-grandma.” Spending time with Great-grandma?

Sylvia enquired, “Liam, do you live with Great-grandma?” Liam nodded firmly. The three years of pent-up frustration inside Sylvia suddenly deflated upon hearing this.

How could she have ever forgotten about Madam Carter?

The old madam was essentially the one who had single-handedly raised Odell, and the latter had nothing but veneration for her.
