Chapter 218

The next few days, Isabel and Liam came to find her every morning. It was New Year's Eve. Sylvia had just finished her breakfast and was about to wait for them to come over when she received a call from Isabel. The little girl grumbled over the phone, "Mom, that baddie won't let Liam and me go to you." Her girlish voice was tinged with a sob. She probably had a fight with Odell. Sylvia quickly coaxed her. "It's okay. It's New Year's Eve today. You and Liam can stay at home." Isabel pouted. "But we want to see you." Sylvia wanted to see them more than anything, but she could not deal with Odell at all. After thinking about it, she said, "Be a good girl. It's only for today. It'll be over soon." Isabel did not say anything. She was probably pouting unhappily. Sylvia said, "Listen to Mommy, okay, Isabel?" Isabel let out a hum. Then, Liam's voice rang out from the phone. "Don't worry, Mom. Isabel and I will be good." Sylvia smiled. "Good boy, Liam." Soon, she hung up the phone.
