Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 833

Chapter 833

“Yes, everything there is to know,” Odell spoke with a tint of ice in his voice.

Sylvia twitched her

lips.

Odell refused to avert his intent gaze from

her.

A stark silence descended upon the room.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

Sylvia tried to avoid his gaze and wanted to play it off. “Tell you what?”

“That he forced you to go to Galston with him, that he was the reason you ended up with depression,
and to tell me that the boy is my son!” He became more infuriated as he went on. He was practically
shouting toward the end of his sentence.

Sylvia was not as frightened as she thought she would be.

Not only was she not afraid of his outburst, but she even found herself laughing uncontrollably like a
mad woman. She mocked him, “You’re already engaged. What’s the point of telling you all this to begin
with?”

She originally intended to tell

him.



On the plane back to Westchester City from Galston, she had already composed everything in her
head.

She wanted to explain to him that she did not stab him so she

could be with Thomas. She wanted to tell him everything that happened to her in Galston during the
last six torturous months. She wanted to tell him that despite all odds, she managed to keep their child
alive.

However, she received news that he was engaged as soon as she got off the plane.

The very moment she saw him embracing Lily after their engagement, she swallowed everything she
wanted to say including the things she had composed inside her mind on the way back home.

“Odell, come down to it, we’re simply not meant to be.” Sylvia looked at him again. She seemed on the
verge of tears but was smiling. “Thank you for coming here last night. I’ve never done anything with
Thomas

and you can rest assured that the boy is yours. Since Isabel and Liam belong to you now, I’d like to
keep the boy by my side. If it pleases you, I’ll tell him that you’re his father, but if you think that it would
sour things between you and Lily, I will never tell him. You don’t have to tell Lily either. She doesn’t
need to know that this boy even exists.”

She was still very weak and the exhaustion was showing in her voice.

Fortunately, the ward was quiet enough that Odell could still make out every word of what she was
saying.

Something seemed to freeze inside his bottomless eyes.



He got up and sat beside her on the bed. He bent over and held her frail face in his large palms,
bringing his face closer to hers.

“You’d wish. I want both you and the boy,” he declared this with

utter certainty. He had never been more confident than now.

Sylvia’s eyes froze, and she felt something lurch inside her chest.

After several seconds, she shifted her eyes away from him and murmured,”I’m not going to be your
mistress.”

Odell was

quiet.

After debating over it for a while, he suddenly murmured,”Lily and I are only engaged because of
circumstance.”

Sylvia turned to him with mild surprise.

“Huh?”

He looked at her agape eyes and explained, “We only got engaged to appease Master Springsteen.
There was this misunderstanding some time ago that stirred up rumors that I was seeing her. Master
Springsteen was so furious by those rumors that he ended up fainting.

It was quite an ordeal. In the end, she came to me and struck a deal to get engaged because she was
worried about Master Springsteen’s condition.”

Sylvia was still trying to make sense of the situation. “That means it’s not a real engagement after all?”



“No, it’s more like a private collaboration more than anything.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

She suddenly recalled her confrontation with Ramona and Madam Springsteen and asked suspiciously,
“Then why did Ramona and Madam Springsteen come to me and warn me to stay away from you?”

Odell seemed alerted by this, evident by his sudden wrathful look. “They came to you?”

At this point, Sylvia did not see a point in hiding things from him and owned up,“Yeah, they came to
me.”

“What did they tell

you?”

She did not want to recall those hateful things they said to her and only stuck to the important details.
“They told me to stay away from you and not ruin things between you and Lily.”

“Why didn’t you tell

me?”

“You didn’t tell me that your engagement with Lily wasn’t real.” Sylvia scoffed grumpily.

Odell narrowed the look in his

eyes.

Sylvia quietly peered at



him.

After a moment, he chuckled softly. “It’s my fault, I should’ve told you earlier.”

Sylvia’s eyes glowed up. She asked again in a slightly doubtful tone,“So, it was a fake engagement all
along? There’s nothing going on between the two of you?”

Odell looked into her eyes. “Do you think I’d still be here if my feelings for her were true?”
