Chapter 534

It was evening, and the sky was gradually darkening. Sylvia was painting in the studio when Isabel’s cheerful voice tore throughthe quaint space of the house.

“Mommy, we’re back!”

Sylvia got up and went to the window to see Isabel running in from outside. She was holding two trinkets that looked like toys inher hands, and she waved them around as she ran.

The toy would catch and reflect light occasionally.

Meanwhile, Liam had also stepped out of the car. His demeanor was a sharp contrast toIsabel's. He tucked his hands into his pockets and walked calmly and silently.

The driver then closed the door. The man in the car did not get out.

Sylvia glanced at the car before turning and walking out of her room. When she arrived at the living room, Isabel had already runin. “Mommy, look! | won these balls from some skinny guy today!” She showed off the two colored balls in her hands to Sylvia.

Sylvia smiled and praised her, “Great job, Isabel.”

“Look, they can even sing,” Isabel said as she flicked a switch. The two trinkets immediately began playing a familiar andcheerful nursery rhyme. Sylvia smiled, then looked at Liam who had just walked into the living room. He was very quiet as usual.There was not a hint of expression on his face.

Sylvia asked, “Liam, did you have a good time with your sister and Daddy today?” Liam muttered, “Yeah.” Sylvia walked up tohim, looked at his face up close, and asked again, “Are you sure you’re happy?” Liam fixed his thoughtful eyes on her and said,“| would be happier if Mommy had been there as well.”

Sylvia felt her heart drop. Then, she stated, “Well, | am free tomorrow, so I'll take you two somewhere.”Liam pursed his lips. “Okay.”

Isabel did not get up until almost noon the next day. She seemed to be all worn out from spending time with Odell yesterday.Liam, on the other hand, seemed rather drained. Sylvia took them out after lunch. They went to a nearby heritage street wherethey gorged on delicious food and returned home only when it was getting dark The day passed in the blink of an eye.

The following day, Sylvia took them to kindergarten as usual After watching them enter through the gate while holding hands, sheturned around and left, and went straight to the art academy

Today was her first day working at the art academy

Upon arrival, she was received by a teacher tasked to attend to her. Christopher showed up as well and led her to her new office.It was a very pleasant office that almost seemed homely, She was given a complete set of painting tools along with cominonoffice supplies.

After Christopher showed her the office, he turned to her with a welcoming smile, “Sylvia, if there’s anything you need at all, justlet me know.”

Sylvia returned a smile and thanked him, “Sure, thank you.”

“Haha, no need to be so formal with me. It is an honor to have you teach at our academy.”

They exchanged a bit of small talk before Christopher eventually left

Sylvia looked at the timetable. She had two classes scheduled in the afternoon and no assigned classes in the morning.

Although she had come to the academy to conduct talks with the students several times in the past, this would be her first timeOfficially giving lectures. She wanted to make sure that she was well-prepared, so she sat down and focused on preparing herlectures, The morning went by in the blink of an eye. By the time she took her eyes off her tasks, it was already lunchtime. Shegot up and walked outside. As soon as she stepped out of her office, she heard some commotion coming from a certaindirection. She noticed a group of female teachers crowding around someone and merrily chanting, “Mr. Carter, let's have lunchtogether later!” “Mr. Carter, you must be bored by yourself. Let’s go watch a movie together at night.” Meanwhile, Mr. Carter, whowas the center of their attention, seemed to be moving toward Sylvia
