novelxo Chapter 30
Chapter 30 Tara snapped at her, “Sylvia, you’d better spit it out. What’s going on here?” Sylvia said with a wry smile, “If you want
to know what’s going on, why don’t you just go inside and ask Odell?”
Tara felt a lump in her throat. Madam Carter had adamantly stated that so long as she breathed, she would never allow Tara to
step into the house.
Sylvia was intentionally riling her up.
She was about to slander Sylvia as being Odell’s unwanted toy when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the person in question
appearing at the door. Her expression transformed immediately as she ran to Odell. “Odell!” She threw herself into Odell’s arms
with an aggrieved look as if Sylvia had done something terrible to her. Nevertheless, Odell looked at Sylvia with an indifferent
look
Sylvia raised an eyebrow and began to leave. She would not stay behind and watch these two play out their drama. She had
only taken a step when Tara said to Odell, “I was just asking her why she was here when she became aggressive and told me
something about how I’m not allowed to be here, then she insulted me. I didn’t even say anything to her. Why is she being so
hostile toward me?”
Tara’s eyes became red as she spoke. Odell frowned deeply This was when the voice of the twins came from inside the house.
“She’s lying. Mommy didn’t say any of those things to her!” Isabel shouted with her arms across her chest. “She started by
angrily asking Mommy why she’s here, then she grabbed Mommy. That’s when Mommy told her to come inside and look for you.
She never insulted her.”
Liam supplied, “I can testify to that too.” Odell’s expression changed as he immediately glared at Tara whose eyes widened. In
addition to the shock of the situation turning against her, she was also dismayed by Isabel calling Sylvia her mother.
If her mother was Sylvia, and she was the same age as Liam and looked just like him as well, did this mean that she was also
Odell’s child?
Sylvia had given birth to twins at the time!
Tara quickly gathered herself and turned to Odell with tearful eyes. “Odell, I only said all those things because she accused me
of using dirty tricks to get with you and that I didn’t deserve you. I only wanted to clarify things with her. I never lied to you.”
Her eyes were framed red and filled with distress. Odell thought of her compassion throughout the years and how much she had
given up to be with him, thus he felt sorry for her.
He raised a hand to wipe away her tears and said softly, “I believe you.”
At the entrance, Isabel scoffed audibly. Liam seemed wholly unimpressed as well. Odell glared at them and commanded sternly,
“Get back in there!” Liam took Isabel’s hand. “Come on, let’s go.” Isabel grunted, “Hmm.” She made a point of pulling a face at
Odell before turning back Odell’s face was dark “Odell, is Isabel your daughter too?” Tara suddenly asked. “Well, she and Liam
are twins, and I only found out yesterday as well.” Tara lowered her head. “So, that’s why Sylvia is here.” Odell embraced her
and gently reassured her, “Don’t overthink it. She is their mother, and the two brats keep whining about wanting to be with her, so
I gave her permission to pick them up from the kindergarten.” While Tara looked up at him, tiny droplets of tears fell from her
eyes, exaggerating her frailness.
She started, “I wasn’t overthinking it. It’s just that whenever I see how adorable Liam and Isabel are, I think of the child that we
could have had. If the child were here with us today, I’m sure he or she would be calling us Daddy and Mommy.”
As she said this, tears streamed down her cheeks again. She put a hand over her mouth and tried to stop herself from choking
back tears.
