Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Even after waiting a while, Cliff did not receive any reply, so he consciously turned to
leave. “Hold on.”

Cliff froze. He turned around and asked, “Yes, sir? Is there anything else?”

Odell turned his chair around to Cliff and asked, “I have a friend who is divorced. His ex–wife used to
love him a lot. So much so, that she even went to the extent of using dirty means to make the marriage
between them happen. Now, this friend of mine wants to marry his ex wife again, but the ex–wife has
said that she no longer loves him. Do you think what she said is true?”

Feeling awkward, Cliff pursed his lips and thought, ‘You‘re referring to yourself, right?‘

However, he dared not expose his boss. After considering his thoughts carefully, he said, ” Maybe it‘s
because the ex–wife was deeply hurt during the divorce that she has no more feelings for him.”

The office plunged into silence after he voiced his opinion. Cliff noticed the grim look on his boss‘ face.
He anxiously explained, “Sir, I‘m just making a speculation. I’m not saying that you... your friend hurt his
ex–wife.”

Odell narrowed his eyes and said emphatically, “She used to be a vile woman. Her ex–husband never
hurt her without a reason. As for the divorce, it was only because she asked for it herself.”

Hurt her? If she had not pushed Tara down the stairs, causing Tara to miscarry and be unable to bear a
child anymore for the rest of her life, he would not have been angry enough to divorce her.

She had even been slapped sixty tịmes because she had been vicious enough to slap Tara first.

Cliff pursed his lips, feeling conflicted.



His boss had always assumed that Sylvia was mean but he had also known Sylvia for many years now.
Whether before their marriage or after the divorce, Sylvia had always treated him politely. She was a lot
more easy–going than Tara and had never given him a hard time. There was one time where he had
gone on a business trip with Odell and had forgotten something important. It was Sylvia who had
helped to deliver the item to him and helped him keep it a secret from Odell. If not, his bonus for that
year would certainly have been canceled.

He really had no idea why Sylvia had been labeled as a mean and evil person.

After thinking about it, Cliff decided to feign ignorance and said, “Sir, it‘s hard for outsiders to judge
family matters. Why don‘t you ask your friend why he would want to marry his ex wife again if she is
such a vile person?” Odell glared at him. Cliff lowered his head and continued to play dumb.

Odell said, “He‘s fallen in love with his ex–wife. That‘s why he wants to marry her again.”

Cliff bit the bullet and said, “Then, his ex–wife can‘t be the bad person that your friend assumed.
Otherwise, he wouldn‘t have fallen for her again, right?”

After thinking about it a while, Odell said, “His ex–wife used to be a mean person but she’s become a
better person now.” Cliff then said, “Then you should tell your friend to let go of the past. Since he’s
fallen in love with his ex–wife but she doesn‘t want to marry him again, why doesn‘t your friend just
start over again? Start by asking her out, date her and restart the whole relationship.” Odell furrowed
his brows. “Ask his ex–wife out?”

She had been the one who had shamelessly clung to him in the past. Did he now have to do the
opposite by asking her out instead? Cliff said, “Yeah. If he really loves his ex–wife, then I think it could
work.”

Feeling vexed, Odell furrowed his brows. “You may leave now.”



Cliff went out as directed and left his boss alone in the quiet office.

Propping the side of his forehead on his hand, Odell mulled over Cliff‘s suggestion,

The day went by quickly.

Sylvia spent the entire day in her painting studio,

Since Isabel and Liam should have come back home from school at his hour, she got up, tidied up and
headed to the Carter Mansion.

Coincidentally, just as she had arrived at the road outside the old mansion, she spotted Odell‘s black
sports car.

It looked like he had just come home.

Sylvia turned a blind eye and tried to walk around his car.

Honk!

The car suddenly honked at her. Sylvia pretended not to have heard it and continued forward.

The black sports car then drove past her and stopped right in front of her.

Odell‘s towering figure came out from the car. He pursed his lips and asked, “Did you come here to see
the kids?”

For some reason, he sounded normal without any hint of his usual frostiness. Sylvia was also surprised
to see the gentle smile on his face.

Something was not right.
