Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 18

Chapter 18 They met each other’s eyes, and not a word was exchanged. After a brief moment, Sylvia came to her senses and immediately moved to shut the door.

However, Odell scoffed and promptly raised his hand and pushed the door the other way to prevent it from closing.

Thump! The door slammed viciously against the wall and produced a sharp thump. Sylvia went pale with horror. She retreated backward and shielded Isabel with her body. Odell glared at her, then turned his attention to Isabel who was hiding behind her. At the same time, Aunt Tonya stepped forward and shielded Isabel just like Sylvia did.

Their nervous movements indicated that they were worried about Isabel being taken away. Odell merely snickered and stepped inside.

As he stared at Isabel, a lot of things that occurred recently started to make a lot of sense in his head.

Liam had always been withdrawn and preferred to be alone. He was never affectionate with anybody, not even himself and his great-grandmother. He did not like to be touched either. However, ever since he met Isabel, not only did he find himself a best friend but he even visited her every day to have dinner, returning home only after dark. On the weekends, he even went out of his way to bring Isabel to their house. Upon meeting, they would call each other brother and sister, and they slept together in a small bed in kindergarten as if they were blood-related siblings. He recalled the last time he met Isabel. He remembered how the girl was friendly with Madam Carter, but as soon as she saw him, she had looked at him with some kind of disdain.

Similarly, he recalled how he could not find it in himself to have any sort of hostility toward her.
