Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1642

Chapter 1642

As expected, John was still in the living room.

He was on his phone with someone. “I am busy. I won’t be going back soon. If there’s nothing urgent, just go to Peter; only call me when it’s absolutely necessary.”

John hung up the phone and saw Sylvia wheeling Madam Carter into the house. His gaze shifted. He immediately wore a polite and humble smile on his handsome face.

Madam Carter dozed off on the way back.

John said to Sylvia, “Mrs. Carter, Caprice really likes to be with Liam. No matter how I try to take her home, she doesn’t want to go back. I might have to crash at your place for a couple of days.”

Caprice, who was also in the living room watching Liam play with his Rubik’s cube, looked up at her father in confusion. She did not remember her father persuading her to leave. However, it was true that she did not want to leave, she wanted to stay with Liam.

Therefore, she turned back to Liam and continued watching him play.

Sylvia scoffed after hearing John’s excuse. She said, “Liam likes Caprice as well, and I am more than welcome to have her, but our place is too small to house someone as important as you, Master Stockton. Caprice can stay, but you should probably go.”

John chuckled. “I don’t want to interrupt either, but Caprice will break down in tears if I leave her for more than ten minutes. I don’t have the heart to leave her alone.”

“Caprice and Liam were in the children’s room for more than two hours, and I didn’t see her crying,” Sylvia said.

John’s smile froze for a second before he regained his composure. He continued, “That’s because I told her I am down here, waiting for her. She knew I was near.”

Sylvia ran out of patience. She asked, “You just don’t want to go, do you?”

John curled his lips. “It’s Caprice who doesn’t want to leave Liam. I can’t do anything about it.”

Sylvia released an exasperated sigh and was done arguing with the man. She wheeled Madam Carter

back to her room.

John sighed a breath of relief and sat down on the couch.
