Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 824

Chapter 824

Meanwhile, inside the VIP room at Lush

Heaven.

It was very dimly lit and there was a strong scent of alcohol in the air.

The sleeping man on the couch slowly opened his eyes.

Lily who was sitting next to him sprang to attention and promptly put his phone back onto the table
behind her.

She put a smile on her face and greeted Odell,”Hey, you finally woke up?”

Odell’s head was throbbing with pain, he raised his hand and pressed it against his forehead, then he
asked her, “Why are you here?”

“A friend of mine told me that she saw you coming here last night, so I figured I’d just drop by to see
you.” She stated unflinchingly.

Odell sat up and checked the time on his

watch.

He frowned, then he got up and approached the table to pick his phone up.

Lily mentioned ,“Just so you know, the young miss called you two times today. I didn’t answer the first
time and figured I’d tell you when you wake up. Since you continued to sleep, I ended up helping you
answer the second time she called. I told her and the young master that they did not need to worry
about you.”



Odell shot her a

look.

Lily observed his expression and apologized in a low voice,”I’m sorry for taking liberties with your
privacy like that. You’re not angry at me, are you?”

“No, thanks for answering the call

for me.”

If not, the children would be worried sick about him considering he had not been home for a day,
especially since it was the New Year.

Something glimmered inside Lily’s eyes as she rose and walked outside with him.

“In that case, would you mind if I pushed my luck and asked you why you came here to drink last
night?” She asked.

“It’s none of your business.”

His voice was raspy as he spoke in a cold and affectionless way.

Lily probed in a low voice,”Is it related to Miss Sylvia?”

His footsteps suddenly came to a

halt.

Lily stopped as

well.



After a few seconds, he suddenly grunted, “Don’t ever mention her again.”

“Not today,

or…”

“Not ever, don’t ever bring

her up.”

His voice was cold and

gloomy.

Something gleamed in her eyes,“I see, I understand.”

After a while, they walked out of Lush Heaven together and arrived at the parking lot.

Noticing that Odell was about to enter his car, Lily hurriedly stepped in front of him and said with a
quick smile, “Could I invite you to be a guest at my house tonight? There’s going to be a family dinner
tonight and even if our engagement is not genuine, it’s still important to keep up appearances as an
engaged couple. I’d like to bring you along. My grandparents would love to see you.”

Odell fell silent for a moment, then he agreed, “Got it.”

The sky was getting

darker.

A car was coasting down the

highway.



Isabel and Liam were seated together in the back row.

The thought of getting to see her mother again excited

Isabel and she kept gazing at the view outside with her big, round eyes.

Ben was driving, while Jacob was in the

passenger seat.

Odell had given them strict orders that Isabel and Liam were not allowed to go to Sylvia without explicit
permission. Thus, Ben and Jacob had essentially been forced by the two little ones to take them to
Sylvia despite their reluctance.

Upon noticing that they were approaching the junction leading to Sylvia’s place, Jacob informed,“Young
Master, Young Miss,

your father will be back in two hours. You can only stay here for two hours at most, otherwise he will
know that we brought you two here and he’ll skin us alive.”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Jacob, we won’t let you get punished by the big baddie.” Isabel swore as she raised
her little chubby face confidently.

Jacob smiled and turned his head, not noticing the subtle, devious gleam in Isabel’s eyes.

There was no chance that she would go back home so easily after making all this effort to visit her
mother.

The stinky baddie had stayed outside all night with that woman to celebrate New Year’s Eve, so
chances were that he would not be coming home tonight. She had it all planned out, she and Liam
were going to spend the night with their mother.



The sheer thought of it made her grin from ear to ear.

Soon, the car stopped outside Sylvia’s

house.

Isabel threw the car door open and hopped out of the car.

The front door was closed, so she stood on her tiptoes and pressed her finger against the fingerprint
sensor.
