NovelEnglishChapter 619
As the smell of the charcoal grill began to rise, the sun set halfway down the mountain.
The fiery clouds in the sky reflected on the lake, staining it orange and red as well.
Sylvia was experienced in cooking barbecue and soon served up a plate of grilled meat.
Isabel had been waiting with her mouth open for a long time, so Sylvia immediately took two skewers to
her. However, instead of rushing to stuff her own mouth, the little girl ran over to Thomas and Liam.
She gave them the two skewers before coming back to ask Sylvia for more.
Before they knew it, the plate of skewers was empty.
Meanwhile, Sylvia grilled another plate.
Isabel held the plate and divided the food among Thomas, Liam, Aunt Tonya, Theodore, and the
workers who were in charge of pruning the garden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe atmosphere was very lively.
Sylvia could see that Isabel was behaving very well even though she was rather noisy, so she focused
on grilling the other ingredients.
However, while she was focused on her task, she suddenly heard a splash from not far away.
She was shocked.
Then, Theodore cried out, “Isabel fell into the water!”
Sylvia’s hands shook, and she immediately ran toward the lake.
It was not dark yet, so she could see the little girl flailing in the water.
Just as Sylvia was about to jump in, a figure beside her was faster and instantly leaped inside. With a
splash, he jumped into the water and quickly swam over to Isabel. He then scooped her up in his arms
before swimming back to the shore.
Sylvia hurriedly crouched down and reached out to them.
In a short while, Isabel was brought over to her.
Sylvia quickly carried her up.
The little girl was choking on the water.
Sylvia turned her body sideways and patted her on the back.
After spitting out a mouthful of water, the little girl’s chubby face began to look a little better.
Sylvia could not help but frown and look at Isabel sternly.
Probably knowing that she had done something wrong, the girl’s small mouth trembled, and her eyes
instantly reddened before she fell into Sylvia’s arms. She babbled on as she sobbed, “I was wrong,
Mommy. I won’t play by the water ever again.” Sylvia hugged her tightly in her arms. Although her heart
ached, she still said seriously, “I’ll forgive you this time, but if this happens again, I won’t forgive you the
next time.”
“Mm-hmm. I know.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia immediately picked her up. Then, she saw Thomas, who was still soaking wet.
Theodore had handed him his jacket, but Thomas did not put it on. He looked at Isabel in Sylvia’s
arms.
Sylvia said to him, “Thank you, Thomas. Isabel is fine now. I’ll take her back to change her clothes. You
should also change into some clean clothes so that you don’t catch a cold.”
Thomas looked relieved. “Okay.”
Sylvia quickly carried Isabel back to the house.
Liam also followed them.
She dried the little girl’s hair, changed her into some clean clothes, and met Liam in front of the door.
The little boy’s face was impassive and cool as he stared
at Isabel.
Isabel pouted and called out, “Liam.”
Liam extended a small hand toward her. She immediately placed her chubby hand in it.
He said, “Follow me. You’re not allowed to stay more than half a meter away from me.”
He clearly still had a child’s voice, but his tone was overbearing
Sylvia pursed her lips. For a moment, she did not know whether to feel happy or helpless.
