Chapter 1367 Sylvia commended Flint, “Good boy.”
With that, the conversation had come to an end.
Odell stared at the message Sylvia sent where she claimed she would be back in two days. He found himself
grinning without realizing it.
Finally, she was coming back.
He no longer had to sleep by himself.
However, there was the Shermaine issue...
i
He considered for a moment and went to search for Sylvia‘s profile in her friend list and wrote a brief message to
her that read, “Are you here? There‘s
something I want to talk to you about.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as he had sent the message, an error appeared on the screen that said, “Message unable to send. User
only accepts messages from added accounts.”
It would appear that he was still on her blacklist.
He heaved a long, tired sigh.
He certainly did not hold it against her. It was him that had made a mistake in misplacing his trust in Shermaine. He
had gone and ignored Sylvia‘s feelings and even accused her of being insensitive to Shermaine‘s perils.
He vowed to hijnself that he would explain things clearly after Sylvia came back
The next day passed in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the sky had seen the first glimpse of dusk, Odell returned home,
He marched straight into the living room. He chanced upon the scene of Madam Carter desperately tugging Aunt
Tonya‘s clothes and mumbling incoherently, “Where‘s Odell, where is he? Tell him to come back quickly, he
shouldn‘t stay outside by himself, it‘s too dangerous out there!”
Aunt Tonya was aware that this was Madam Carter‘s dementia acting up again. She was just about to try to console
her when she noticed Odell approaching. She quickly gestured at Odell and exclaimed, “Look, Odell is back, look!”
Madam Carter turned to Odell with a confused look in her eyes.
Odell quickly walked up to her, “Grandmother, here I am.”
Madam Carter took his hand affectionately and seemed very anxious. “Odell, I keep telling you to not wander off.
Listen to me now, you have to stay close to me. Your
Odell added, “Sebastian, if my grandmother ever goes on a rant about my stepmother again, I want you to call me
immediately.” Sebastian responded dutifully “Understood.” Flint turned his plump cheeks to Odell and asked
curiously, “Daddy, do you have a stepmother?”
“Yes.”
The boy seemed very eager to know more, “Was she a
jerk?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell grunted. “Hm.”
Flint went up to Odell, wrapped his arms around his leg, and vowed, “Daddy, when I grow up, I‘ll protect you.”
Odell fell silent.
Liam and Isabel were speechless.
.
Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were stunned by this as well. Many have heard of children vowing to protect their
mothers, but this was the first they had ever heard of
protecting a father.
Did he think his father needed protection?
“Fatso Flint, Daddy doesn‘t even need your protection.” Isabel cocked an eyebrow and scolded Flint, “Besides, even
if he needed protection, you wouldn‘t be his first choice.”
Flint sounded very concerned. “What if Daddy‘s jerk stepmother comes back to hurt him?“. Odell was rather
dumbstruck by Flint‘s sentiment. He carried Flint into his arms and said, “Your father chased her out of the country
already. She won‘t be coming back to hurt me.”
At the same time, he patted Isabel and Liam‘s heads with his free hand in turn and told them, “Come on, let‘s
go eat.”
