Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 After dinner.

Odell had some work to deal with and went to his study.

Isabel made Liam go to the children‘s room with her to play.

Meanwhile, Sylvia stayed with Flint and chatted with Aunt Tonya for a while.

Aunt Tonya was getting old and tended to tire easily, so she was getting sleepy toward the end
of their chat.

Sylvia told her to get some rest before taking Flint

When she passed by the children‘s room, she noticed the door was ajar. She saw Isabel and Liam sittin
g cross–legged on the floor, each of them had a
controller in their hand which they were furiously mashing away at. Isabel was the more excited of the t
wo and was shouting madly, “He was the one who killed me. Kick his butt!”

Sylvia made a look and hurried past the room, making sure to cover Flint‘s ears.

It was 9 p.m.

Flint was in good spirits, and he was not sleepy either. After a while, she decided to head to the study.
The door was half–
open just like the children‘s room, so she stopped at the doorway before entering. During their first
marriage, Odell‘s study had always been off–limits to her as it was his hallowed ground.

There were a few times she tried to go inside to bring him food and refreshments
but it ended with her getting chased out relentlessly each time. After several times, she got the messag



e and never tried to venture into the study again. She even developed a slight fear of entering his study
.

Although
things were different now, she decided she was not going to pester Odell too long. She held onto Flint a
nd slowly stepped forward, preparing to enter.

Unexpectedly, the moment Flint recognized
that the man inside was his father, he immediately cried out, “Dad, Daddy…” His sweet, tender voice to
re through the tranquility in the study. Sylvia was startled by this and quickly looked
at Odell, expecting a strong reaction. The man seated behind the desk had already spotted her

and was looking straight through her with a sharpness in his eyes.

Sylvia became slightly agitated. “It‘s alright, I‘ll take Flint away right now.”

She did not want to disturb him when he was working.

She quickly scrambled away after that.

“Wait a minute!” Odell called after her suddenly.

She turned to him with a queer look.

“I‘m almost done anyway. Come on in with Flint,” he . remarked with a soft
smile while gentleness poured from within his eyes. I

Sylvia hesitated briefly.

Flint stretched his arms out as far as he could and tried to clamber
toward his father while mumbling on and on,” Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.”



Odell was still looking at her.

With no hesitation, she went inside.

The boy missed his father. Sylvia walked right up to Odell and handed Flint to him.

Odell took the boy into his arms.

The boy tossed and turned around in his arms, then tried to climb onto his desk.

He was so close to climbing onto his desk when Odell yanked him back.

He stayed still for a few seconds, then he was at it again, stubbornly insisting to get on the table.

Odell pulled him back yet again.

The boy had
his father‘s blood flowing inside him, evident by how stubborn and unyielding he was. He refused to giv
e in and tried to crawl on the table again.

Sylvia smiled and said, “I‘ll take him.”

“Yeah.” Odell handed Flint to
her and told her, “If you‘re bored, just stay here for a while. I only have some minor
details left to sort out so don‘t worry about disturbing me.

He spoke in a low and sincere tone.

Sylvia was appalled by this and almost stammered, “Okay.



She took Flint and sat on a nearby couch. This
time, Flint wanted to climb up the bookshelf again. Sylvia no longer tried to stop him. She watched
him go at it and prepared to intervene if he fell.

Despite his age, he was more adept at climbing than she thought. Soon enough, he managed to scale
up the first row of the bookshelf and as if that was not enough, he

wanted to go higher.

Sylvia quickly approached him and wrapped her hands around him to prevent him from falling.

Eventually, the boy who was still getting used to his clumsy body lost his balance and toppled over.

Sylvia grabbed him and supported him.

Flint kicked his leg out during the fall and accidentally knocked over several books.

The books fell off the shelf and
clapped against the ground. It was rather loud relative to the complete silence in the study.

Not only was Flint not remorseful of causing trouble, but he even seemed
rather amused by it and began to chuckle as if he was proud of his stunt.
