Chapter 548After they settled the bill, Sylvia grabbed her coat and walked outside

Thomas followed her. Suddenly, she felt the sensual touch of a finger gliding across her face, Sylvia was startled by this and casta perplexed look at Thomas.

Thomas touched her face again, and this time said in a monotonous voice, “Your face is so red. Did you catch a fever?” Sylviastammered, “I-I’m fine. Maybe it’s because those dishes are too spicy.”

Thomas looked at her warily. “Then, don’t eat such spicy things next time.” “Okay.” Sylvia looked ahead again. “Let’s go back tothe academy.” She sped up her pace and widened the gap between the two of them in the blink of an eye. While Thomas stayedwhere he was, his lips suddenly twitched as he looked at her fading figure.

Sylvia sat in her office for a long time before her face returned to a normal shade. She remembered that when she first marriedOdell, Thomas still had a thin buildup of baby fat on his face.

Now, he was no longer as boyish as he was in the past even though he still looked fairly young He was several months olderthan her, so there was nothing wrong with him wearing a low cut shirt.

Perhaps she was too conservative and thought that she should stop treating Thomas like a child the way she once did.

After clearing her mind, she managed to calm down. She stopped troubling herself with these thoughts and proceeded to laydown on the table for a quick nap.

Downtown, on the top floor of Carter Tower, in Odell’s office... Ding! The display glowed up and the caller ID flashed on thedisplay. Odell took a quick look. It was his grandaunt Ramona calling. He answered and put the phone to his ear, “Hey,Grandaunt, what’s the matter?” Ramona answered cheerfully, “odell, the Springsteen family are moving back to the city in abouthalf a month. Seeing as how Madam Springsteen grew up with me and your grandma, we are going to celebrate with a smallparty when we get back. After all, the Springsteens have had a lot of relations with your family in the past. Do you have time tojoin us?” Otell thought about it for a second and answered, “No.”

It was true since he had a business trip in half a month.

“Can't you just spare a few hours? They care a lot about the relationship between your two families, and they will be verydisappointed if you don’t show up.”

“| have a business trip around that time, so you can go in my place instead.”

“But...”

“1 still have work to do. See you for now.’“Alright.”

Odell hung up promptly.

Meanwhile, at the Deckers’, Ramona was sitting at a table with Madam Springsteen who was around the same age as her. Uponnoticing Ramona putting away her phone, Madam Springsteen asked urgently. “So? Is the Carter boy joining?”
