Chapter 1977
"It went pretty well."
Odell smiled faintly. "Looks like Caprice is more capable than we thought."
Upon hearing this, John beamed with pride. "She did pretty well. You can say that she inherited something from her parents."
Odell flicked an eyebrow and commented with a smile, "That must mean that she’s destined for great things in the future."
John took a sip of tea, and expressed, "All I want is for her to live a peaceful, happy life."
Of course, he would be glad if Caprice was willing to take over the reins of the family business.
Nevertheless, above all else, what mattered most to him was the wellbeing and happiness of his dear daughter.
Odell poured him another cup of tea while adding nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Liam will take good care of her, and I’m sure she will live a good life with him."
John's expression suddenly changed. He said in a mildly confrontative voice, ’It's a bit early to say that. I haven't agreed to them getting engaged just yet."
Odell handed him the cup of tea he had just poured and stated candidly," What conditions have to be met to get you to agree? Just name them.”
As John took the cup from him, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. He had known Odell for decades by this point and was well aware of what sort of person he and Sylvia was. Furthermore, he had watched their children grow up and was familiar with their personalities as well.
It was the same for Caprice. The children of their two families had grown up together and knew each other since they were toddlers.
He was certain that Liam would never mistreat Caprice if they got engaged.
Furthermore, he was the perfect match for Caprice based solely on his family background, his accolades, and even his looks.
However, Caprice was only nineteen years old. She had barely stepped into adulthood, and they were already going to take her away from him. It was too much for him to stomach!
With this in mind, he clenched tightly onto the cup, and his fingers pressed into its ceramic surface.
He juggled the thought in his mind for a while before meeting Odell's gaze. He spoke sincerely, "Both you and Sylvia know that Caprice is my only daughter and how much she means to me and Sherry. My family is based in Glanchester, and all of our business assets are based in Glanchester as well."
John spoke up, "Alright then, we'll send you back to the dorm first."
Liam suddenly proposed, "Uncle John, Aunt Sherry, why don't I send her back to the dorm?" "No need. Your parents have something important they want to talk to you about." Upon making this remark, he turned to Odell and smiled suggestively.
Odell barely acknowledged his smile.
Sylvia looked at Odell uncertainly because she had no clue what John was talking about but figured it had something to do with the two men's discussion just now. She turned to Liam, "Liam, after they go back to Glanchester, they're not going to see Caprice for a while. Why don't you let them send her back to the dormitory instead?"
Liam swiped a look at Caprice. "Okay."
Caprice pursed her lips.
Sylvia made a good point; it was better to let her parents send her off.
Besides, she was already in Westchester. Nothing was stopping her from visiting Liam tomorrow.
