Chapter 42
Tara stared at him subtly. When she noticed Odell looking at her, she said in a hoarse voice, “odell, why don’t you go home to the kids? I should feel better from the fever after some rest. I’m fine.”
Odell put his hand on her forehead. It was still a little warm.
“I’ll go after you fall asleep.” “Odell, I’m really fine… Cough.”
Before Tara could finish her sentence, she coughed.
Odell frowned. “Don’t go out when it’s raining. I’ll call you next time when I’m coming over. You don’t need to wait for me outside.”
Tara immediately said, “Okay. It’s just that I haven’t seen you for a few days now, and I missed you, that’s why I waited for you outside. No more next time, I promise.”
“Mm-hmm. Take a rest.”
Tara obediently closed her eyes.
Time flew by quietly. Half an hour later, Odell noticed that she had fallen asleep. He got up and wanted to leave, but it was then that he heard Tara coughing in her sleep.
Her cough somehow got louder and more intense.
Odell sat back down and said softly, “Tara?”
Tara opened her eyes and looked at him with bloodshot eyes. She said feebly, “Odell, can I hug you while I sleep?”
Odell furrowed his brows.
‘The two little rascals should already be asleep now… Fine, I’ll stay for the night.’
He sat beside her and hugged her in his arms.
As Tara gripped his waist tightly, a faint grin appeared on her face.
Ever since Isabel was brought home, they had not spent a lot of time together. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
In truth, she had purposely stood in the rain last night. Although her fever was not severe, she made him stay by her side for the whole day.
It seemed like he cared about her the most after all.
The next day, Sylvia arrived at Carter Residence early in the morning. To her surprise, Odell was not home.
Sylvia greeted Madam Carter before she took Liam and Isabel out.
Liam wore a cool-looking suit and even combed his hair neatly, looking a lot like a prince. Isabel tied her hair into twin pigtails and wore an orange dress coupled with leather shoes. Her
pink bag and orange hair clip were a contrast to Liam’s calm and cool outfit, but her accessories made her look like a princess. Sylvia brought them to Starz Club for her team-building event, and their attendance attracted a lot of attention.
People would unconsciously steal a glance or two at the two of them. When they arrived at the gathering spot, Betty and the other girls screamed in delight. “Oh my goodness, they are so cute!”
“Isn’t she the child actor, Isabel? She’s Sylvia’s daughter?” “Sylvia’s son is also very cute!”
A bunch of people surrounded them.
The two of them were not afraid of strangers at all, especially Isabel. She smiled sweetly and greeted every one of them.
“Hello, big sisters, big brothers.”
Liam simply looked at them quietly. He was a cute little boy, but the way he looked at them felt like an adult gazing at them. Their new fans giggled and chuckled at their adorableness The group only disperse when Tristan came over. “Sylvia, are they really your kids?” he asked after a glance at the two of them.
“Yeah.” Sylvia then pulled the two of them to her side and said to them, “Isabel, Liam, this is Mommy’s boss at the studio. You can call him Uncle Tristan.” Upon hearing his mother, Liam obediently greeted him. “Hello, Uncle Tristan.” Tristan smiled kindly at the boy. “Hi.”
He then turned to Isabel.
Isabel was staring at his handsome face with eyes filled with stars. Tristan was intrigued by her fascination. He curiously asked, “Isabel, why are you staring at
me?)
Isabel said sweetly, “You are so good-looking!”
