Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 748

Chapter 748

After dinner, Sylvia grabbed a chair and sat by the wall where she continued to listen to any form of
movements on the other side.

Even after several hours had passed, she heard nothing remotely resembling Isabel and Liam
chattering on the other side.

It was Sunday. Were they not at home?

After she pondered for a while, she reluctantly grabbed her phone and selected Odell’s contact.

She hovered her finger back and forth over the keyboard for some time and after some more
consideration, she sent a message: “Hey, good afternoon.” Followed by a cute smiling emoji as usual.

Ten minutes passed, then half an hour… Then three hours had passed, and he did not answer.

He was probably not going to reply at all by this point.

Sylvia put the phone back in her pocket. The sky was slowly darkening by this point. Just as she was
about to head back into the house, she suddenly heard what sounded like a car parking in front of the
gate.

She perked up with alertness and immediately went to

the barred gate where she put her ear over the sheet of metal in hopes of hearing something. She
heard Lily’s voice, “Isabel, Liam, did you two have fun today?”



She frowned.

She heard Isabel answering, “We had a lot of fun. Thank you very much, Aunt Lily.”

Judging by her formal tone, Sylvia could make out that Isabel was not particularly distrustful of her
stepmother, but she was not exactly in love with her either.

She was always the type that showered you with love if you extend any sort of genuine goodwill toward
her, but would hold a grudge if you got on her bad side. However, she also had a knack to maintain
perfect neutrality if a person was otherwise indifferent to her as well.

The end result was that she was not exactly fond of Lily, but she was not mean toward her either.

That was well enough. Sylvia doubted that Lily would be intentionally cruel toward the children once
she married Odell.

Lily expressed with a polite smile, “No need to thank me. I’m just glad you two had a great time. That
way, I won’t feel like I let your father down.”

Neither Isabel nor Liam made a response.

“You two can head inside first,” a new voice that was deep and heavy with bass spoke this time. Sylvia
was taken aback by this. Odell? Why was he there? Did he spend the day with the children along with
Lily? Her first reaction was to look at the phone that she still held in her hands.

This explained why he did not answer her messages. He was spending time with his fiancée.



She figured that if she was in Odell’s position, she probably would not be answering the text of an ex-
wife when she was spending time with a fiancée.

The footsteps of the children gradually faded over time. They must have gone into the house.

Sylvia was not interested in eavesdropping on Odell and Lily’s conversation and went back into her
house.

Meanwhile, Odell and Lily were still standing outside the

gate.

After making sure that Isabel and Liam had gone into the house, Odell turned to Lily and thanked her,
“Thanks for taking the time today.”

Something urgent came up with work today so he had been busy all day until just now.

It was Lily who took Isabel and Liam out to play.

Lily smiled sweetly and answered, “No need, Odell. I just brought them to a theme park where there
was staff who took care of them and played with them. They were very good and didn’t cause any
trouble for me or anyone else.”

Isabel and Liam were both adorable , but they were the children of Sylvia Ross, an otherwise
insignificant person of a not particularly impressive family or background that Lily would hardly spare
the time of her day to acknowledge. She doubted that she would ever take a liking to the children, but



she made sure to at least take her grandmother’s advice and get on their good side since Odell cared a
great deal about them.

For what it was worth, it was not much trouble for her. All she did was take them to a children’s theme
park and had the staff inside look after the two of them for the entire day. The staff members did the
bulk of the work while all she had to do was to pick them up. It was not much trouble for her at all.

Odell expressed, “I owe you one.”

The children seemed to be in a very good mood. They must have enjoyed their day at the theme park.

Something gleamed in Lily’s eyes and she said with a smile, “In that case, why don’t you treat me to
something nice?”

Odell stayed quiet for several seconds before promising,” Alright, we’ll do that someday.”

“Which day are we talking about? Could you give me an exact date so I can free up my schedule?”

Odell frowned and stole a glance at the barred gate connected to the next house and decided on a
date. “Next Thursday night.”

He set the date for four days from now because he was not particularly in a mood to go outside to eat
within the next day or so. “Okay then. See you Thursday night.” With that, she turned and went back to
her car.
