Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1424

Chapter 1424

The next day, the sky was clear.

By the time John woke up, his room was already basked in sunlight. It must be partially because it took him a while to fall asleep last night.

Caprice even woke up before him.

Although she was not rummaging around wildly, she did manage to wake John up with the movements she made, shuffling around on the bed.

She was dressed in white like an angel and was busy playing nurse, giving her dolls injections one after another.

John found himself surrounded by her stuffed dolls laid out across the bed.

Upon noticing John waking up, her eyes shone with brightness. She remarked in an adorably serious voice, ” Wait a moment, Daddy, it will be your turn soon.”

With that, she took her toy syringe and jabbed it into one of the monkey dolls on the bed.

John smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

He slowly sat up.

He waited until Caprice studiously poked him with the

toy syringe before finally getting out of bed.

He reached for the phone on the nightstand.

There were some unopened messages, mostly from Peter and some of his other employees. Their contents were work–related as usual.

He briefly went through them before selecting Sherry’s contact.

He had removed her from the blacklist last night but the last exchange between them displayed on the phone was still from several days ago. It was when she voiced her grievances at him after he left her all alone on the roadside amid the freezing cold.

He frowned.

Perhaps what he had said to her had stung a little too much? Was this why she had stopped trying to see Caprice and would not text him again?

The day passed in the blink of an eye.

Evening.

There was a sudden knock at the door. Before John could even respond, Caprice sprang toward the door and threw it open, her enthusiastic cry immediately followed after, Hello Aunt Julie.”

Julie greeted her with a warm smile, then she turned to

((

John. “John, the party is about to start. Mom and Queenie are ready, would you like to come with us?”

She said while slowly approaching John.

Clad inside a silky long dress that dragged all the way to her ankles, she resembled a fairy. The skirt was inlaid with pieces of glittering diamonds that reflected the ceiling lights and dazzled with every step she took.

Her hair was curled and draped over her shoulders, like a woman who had stepped out of a painting. She smiled politely as she headed toward the man sitting at his desk.
