Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1923

Chapter 1923

Liam cast a blank look at her before taking the towel and drying his face with it.

Then, he gently ruffled her hair. “Did I scare you back there?”

Caprice shook her head. “No.”

She was slightly startled, but not to the point of being scared.

Liam smiled faintly. “Sit down. Let me see your head.”

Caprice did as she was told and sat down on a nearby chair.

He delicately parted her hair with his slender fingers and studiously inspected the spot where she had just bumped her head when she was lurking outside the study.

Caprice pursed her lips into a thin smile and told him, “Liam, I’m fine. It doesn’t even hurt anymore.”

He seemed relieved. “Yeah.”

There was some slight redness, but there was no wound.

After watching him return to his usual demeanor, she asked, “What happened to you back there?”

It looked like he wanted to devour her whole.

“Nothing.” After a pause, he added, “It’s just… a common reaction from a man.”

A common reaction from a man? What was that supposed to mean?

She was left more confused.

Liam was already walking away and seemed to be headed somewhere else.

Caprice decided to stop probing him for answers. She got up and followed him.

Casually taking his hand into hers, she smiled and gestured. “Here, let me show you the garden in the back. It looks very pretty now because all the flowers are in bloom.”

Liam smiled and squeezed her hand gently. “Okay.”

Time passed quickly.

Caprice felt like they had only been walking around the garden for a while when one of the housemaids had shown up and told them that her father was summoning them for lunch.

They had no choice but to join them at the dining table right away.
