Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 740

Chapter 740

What? As in he fancied her?

A wave of panic coursed through his body and he quickly explained, “Master Carter, I have nothing but
respect for Miss Sylvia. I don’t have any other ideas about her.”

“Don’t you think she’s cute?” Odell suggested.

He said this in a surprisingly friendly tone.

The driver clarified again, “I just thought that Miss Sylvia has a very interesting way of eating. I didn’t
mean anything else.”

Odell pursed his lips and looked at Sylvia, who was walking along the sidewalk. He reminded the
driver,” Slow down. Can’t have her noticing us.”

The driver calmed down and answered, “Alright.”

The people from the house cleaning agency arrived shortly after and they were very efficient with their
work. Sylvia’s house was spick and span after a day’s work. She had contributed just as much and
thoroughly cleaned out everything in her dresser.

She also washed all the clothes in Isabel, Liam, and Aunt

Tonya’s room.



The day was very hectic and passed in the blink of an eye.

In the evening before the sky even darkened, she arrived at the gate again. She leaned against the
gate and listened for any movements on the other side.

After waiting for some time, she heard Isabel’s loud voice booming through the fence.

“Uncle Sebastian, I’m back!” she called out for Sebastian.

Sebastian greeted her with a gentle smile, “Hello, young miss. Did you have a good time at school
today?”

Isabel sighed and expressed somberly like an adult. “It was alright. There’s this boy that I’ve been
having beef with but I took care of him.”

Sebastian immediately burst out laughing.

Hidden behind the gate, Sylvia grinned from ear to ear.

Shortly after that, she heard them walking into the house and the sound of them conversing gradually
faded.

She was struck by a sudden wave of dejection. Meanwhile, at the gate of Odell’s house.

The car that picked the two kids up from school was still parked by the gate.

Odell’s figure stood tall and upright by the gate.



After ensuring that Isabel and Liam had entered the house with Sebastian , he directed his sharp gaze
to the gate leading to the neighboring property. Even though the fence gate had been blocked off
entirely with large sheets of metal, there was still a tiny gap in the bottom section.

He noticed a pair of pink slippers behind the tiny crevice.

The pair of feet stood unmoving the entire time.

Odell did not even have his men lock the door after he opened it this morning, but Sylvia was still hiding
behind it obediently. She did not even attempt to open it and steal a peek at his yard.

When did she become so obedient?

He frowned and made a faint cough. The moment he coughed, the pair of feet wearing the pink
slippers scuttled away instantly.

Like a mouse who spied an approaching cat.

Odell’s face darkened. Then he walked back into his house.

It was nighttime.

Sylvia made a bowl of noodles for dinner. After she was full, she squatted by a wall connected to the
neighboring house and began listening attentively for any signs of movement from the other side.

Two hours later, she could faintly hear Isabel’s cheerful cries. It sounded like she was having a gaming
session with Liam judging by the contents of the muffled shouts she could hear through the wall. After



that, she walked away feeling content. Instead of going back to her bedroom, she went to the room
where Isabel and Liam once stayed.

She lay on their bed, rested her head on their pillows, and covered herself with the quilt they once
used. She shut her eyes and very quickly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, a tall shadow stepped out of the yard in the neighboring house and walked past the gate
connecting the two households.

He stepped through the yard and arrived in the living room, camouflaged by the darkness. Then, he
walked to Sylvia’s bedroom unobstructed since there was nobody else in the house.

He opened the door and promptly switched on the lights, only to be greeted by an empty room and an
empty bed. He frowned and headed to the dressing room, then to the bathroom to see if there was
anybody home at all.

However, his search turned out to be fruitless.

Where was she?

Where could she possibly be in the middle of the night?

A cold and vexed expression surfaced on his face. He turned and walked out of the room and prepared
to leave the house, but suddenly came to a stop when he passed by the adjacent room.
