Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 7

Shortly after that, inside a private room on the second floor of the Elysian House, Odell was seated next to Tara while Sylvia and her two colleagues sat with them at the table. Perhaps due to Odell’s intimidating aura, both of Sylvia’s colleagues kept their heads low and did not dare to utter a word or make any sort of movement. From the moment he sat down, he had been staring fixedly at Sylvia without any attempts to conceal his gaze.

Sylvia shifted uncomfortably as he watched her like his prey in this manner.

She felt she had to say something. “Master Carter, it’s quite inappropriate for you to keep staring at me like this with your wife sitting right by your side.” Odell chuckled softly. “After three years, it doesn’t seem like you’ve changed all that much apart from the attitude you’ve developed.” Sylvia returned his snark response, “Well, I’ll have to thank the sixty slaps you gave me for that.”

Odell’s lips twitched as his face darkened.

It was as if he could not find a rebuttal to this statement.

Tara, who was seated next to him, silently ground her teeth. She then turned to Sylvia to say, “ Sylvia, let’s not spoil the mood by saying these things, especially considering that you’re finally back after so long.” Then, she turned to Odell and said in a gentle tone, “Odell, it’s already been three years, and I’ve forgotten the entire incident about Sylvia causing my miscarriage. Let’s not get hung up on all that.”

It was rather queer that she brought the miscarriage up now of all times. Sylvia could not help but chuckle, “Tara, Odell wouldn’t even have been upset if you hadn’t mentioned that in the first place.”

Tara was flabbergasted by how blunt Sylvia was.

Before she could figure out what to make of the situation, Sylvia added, “Look, his face is as black as a block of charcoal after what you just said.”

Tara felt a lump appear in her throat.

Odell’s complexion took on an even darker shade than it was before.

It seemed as if a gust of blizzard had just blown into the room, causing the temperature to plummet.

Sylvia shivered as well. Anyone with a good sense of judgment would know that it was best to tread lightly around Odell at this point.

Nonetheless, she feigned agitation and asked, “Master Carter, was it something I said? Why do you look so upset?” Odell cast a brutal glare at the woman who was constantly trying to get on his nerves.

Sylvia continued to patronize him, “Uh, I do apologize if I said something wrong. I’m sure someone as magnanimous as you are will find it in yourself to forgive my foolishness.”

who came with Sylvia shrunk, too afraid to say anything. Tara remained silent as well and stared at Sylvia without a word. Although things had changed and Sylvia was no longer the same person she was three years ago, she was still frightened by Odell’s overpowering aura.
