Chapter 678 What did that mean?

If she bought something for him, would the bodyguards that Odell had assigned here not let her back in again? “I’m fine. I’m notthat hungry,” Thomas said again, his gaze softly looking at her.

Sylvia felt her heart ache from anger. ‘Odell Carter was such an utter pr*ck! ‘He was clearly trying to starve Thomas to death!‘How could he do this to his brother?!’ Just as she had become so angry that she wanted to beat Odell to death, the grip on herhand suddenly loosened. She froze and looked over.

Seemingly having no more strength to hold her, Thomas placed his hand on his leg and said to her with a smile, “Sylvia, I’mreally glad that you came to see me, but my brother’s temper is volatile. | don’t want you to be bullied by him because of meanymore. If you really want to help me, just sit down and chat with me for a while.”

Sylvia immediately felt guilty. Did he think it was because of him that she was not being bullied by Odell? It was clear that shewas the one who had gotten him into trouble. Even without him, Odell would’ve done that to her anyway. After all, it was what hehad always done.

However, she still turned and sat across from him. If Odell was in control here, it would be challenging for her to go out and buyhim any food. Seeing that the two bodyguards had no intention of coming down, she lowered her voice and said, “Thomas, letme take you away.” Thomas’ gaze flickered. Then, he smiled wryly. “I can’t leave.”

Sylvia said, “We can escape while they're not looking!”

She had only seen two bodyguards since she had come in. There might be some hiding in the shadows, but their numbersshould be few. This villa was so big that there were places to escape and hide everywhere. As long as she used her brain, shewould definitely replace a way to get biin out

He shook his head. “Let's stop talking about this. Look, the moonlight is beautiful today.”

He looked outside as die spoke.

The floor to ceiling, window was very high, and Sylvia turned around to see the moonlight onitsidAbove the villa, the moon was large and round, surrounded by stars. It really looked beautiful.

However, she was currently not in the mood to appreciate it at all. “Sylvia, could you draw me another painting?” he suddenlyasked. Sylvia was stunned for a moment before asking, “What is it that you want me to draw for you?

Thomas smiled and said, “Just draw the night scene outside at this moment.” She was not in the mood to paint now. “Thomas,you can’t keep staying here. Let’s replace a way out first. When you're safe, I’ll paint you whatever you want me to paint.” Thomassighed in a low voice. “I went on a walk outside yesterday. Guards have been stationed everywhere that | could possibly go.There’s no way that you can take me out of here.”

Sylvia froze.

He raised his hand and patted her hand. “Don’t worry. Odell might just be trying to teach me a lesson. He won't kill me.”

Then, he smiled and looked at her with a gentle and expectant expression. “Sylvia, | really want to see you paint. Could you justhumor me?” Sylvia pursed her lips. “All right.”

She could not get him out of here at the moment anyway. If painting could make him feel better, then she would paint.

She quickly went upstairs and retrieved a set of painting tools from the room that she had stayed in before. Sitting on the groundbeside him, she painted the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Not long after, Thomas also sat down cross-legged beside her and quietly gazed at her canvas. Sylvia turned to look at him. Hisface still looked weak, but he looked much happier than when she had first seen him. Her depressed mood eased somewhat,and she turned around to continue painting. The moon tonight was not that round, but it was very bright, reflecting thesurrounding sea of glittering stars.
