Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1843

Chapter 1843

She waited in their courtyard.

When John and Sherry got home, they stepped into the courtyard and immediately noticed Caprice lurking in the corner of the garden.

They hurriedly approached her.

“Caprice, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?” Sherry asked while pulling Caprice up, her legs had grown stiff from crouching for so long.

Caprice broached the subject immediately. “Mom, Dad, I have something I need to tell you.”

Sherry was taken aback by this. What could be so urgent that it could not wait until the next morning?

John gently patted Caprice’s head. “Come on, let’s talk inside.”

Caprice followed them into the living room.

After Caprice sat down, she took a sip from a cup of tea the housemaids brought to them. Then, she plucked up the courage and announced, “I’m planning to go back to Westchester tomorrow.”

Both John and Sherry were caught off guard by this as it was so sudden.

Sherry asked, “You’ve only been here a few days, why the hurry?”

John asked with a hint of suspicion in his voice, “Does this have anything to do with Liam?”

Caprice shook her head. “I’m going back to see my roommate and friend Freya. She got into some trouble with her family and now she’s all alone in Westchester. I want to keep her company.”

She could not let them know about her real purpose for going back. If they found out that she had. taken a meager administrative position in Moses’ company, they would object to the idea right away.

Sherry and John exchanged a look.

John said, “We can bring her here. She can spend the summer at our place, it won’t be any trouble.”

Caprice had every counter-argument ready. “No, she has a part-time job in Westchester because she needs to support herself. Besides, she’s much too prideful to accept our sympathy.”

John narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

Sherry seemed to think there was more to this as well.

Caprice put on her best smile and reassured them. “Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I know how to take care of myself.”

Sherry took a deep breath.

John asked, “What time will you be leaving tomorrow?”

Caprice answered, “In the morning.”
