NovelEnglishChapter 272
The terms he offered were tempting, but his intention was clear as well: he wanted her to be his
mistress again.
An indescribable irritation gushed up to her chest, causing her to suffocate. She pursed her lips tightly.
Odell noticed her silence. He pinched her chin and asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?” Sylvia
looked into his eyes with tearful eyes that held a hint of frostiness. She said, “Odell, I will never agree to
that.” Odell’s anticipation behind his deep gaze faded right away. “You’ve always wanted to be with
Isabel and Liam, and I will give you the right to be with them for as long as you want. What else do you
want?” he said in a grumpy tone. Sylvia took a deep breath to calm herself down before she said,
“Odell, have you ever considered Isabel and Liam’s feelings? Are you trying to set an example for Liam

you trying to tell Isabel that there are no good men in this world? It might convey the wrong message to
her, making her believe that a man having more than one woman outside his family is something
normal.”
Odell frowned.
A long silence later, he said, “Liam will have his own thoughts in the future. Isabel is my daughter, and if
her man dares to betray her, I will not spare him.” Sylvia could not help but scoff at his claims. “Odell,
you are really good at shifting your responsibility. Then, what about me? Have you ever considered my
feelings? I’m their mother, but I have to become a mistress to my ex-husband and their father?! If I say
yes, how will they perceive me in the future? How will I face them?”
She sighed heavily and continued, “You are shameless, but I’m not.” Odell’s expression turned grim.
This time, Sylvia boldly stared back into his eyes. Another long pause later, Odell tightened his thin lips
and explained, “I’m not asking you to be my mistress.”
“Then, what do you mean? Do you want to remarry me? Or are you asking me to be your girlfriend?
What about Tara? Are you going to abandon her?” Sylvia scoffed. Odell furrowed his brows tightly. The
irritation and restlessness on his face gradually emerged.
Moments later, he finally released her.
Sylvia took a few steps to the side to draw distance.
She expected this. She knew his possessive side was taking control, at most having a little reignited
interest in her, but it was never his true feelings. He would also never abandon Tara
because of her. After all, Tara was his true love. After drawing distance from the man, Sylvia strode

“What?”
“Do not see Edmund anymore,” he warned her with a frosty gaze and sounded dominant as always. “If
I find out that you are meeting him again, don’t think of seeing the kids anymore.”
Sylvia was forced to swallow her grievance Again, he was using the kids against her. She glared at him
and forced a reluctant reply out of her mouth. “Fine.” She then strode out of the house as fast as she
could, leaving Odell stunned on the spot. He watched her walk out of the door, and when her figure
finally left his sight, his brows furrowed in frustration again. Like what Sylvia said, he could not abandon
Tara, but he wanted Sylvia more.
Some time after Sylvia returned home, she received a text from Edmund. The text began with a funny
sticker, followed by a question. “Syl, I miss you. When are we going to meet?” Odell’s threats remained
loud in her ears, so Sylvia was forced to reply, “I’ve been quite busy lately.” “What are you working on?
Do you need my help?” “It’s okay. It’s just my own work.” “Okay. But I just bought several paintings
recently. Can you take a look for me?” “Sure. Take some pictures for me.” Soon, the pictures were sent
over to her.
