Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1979

Chapter 1979

John grew slightly frantic. He gently brushed Caprice's hair and scrambled for an explanation. "Caprice, it's not so much that I want Liam to marry into our house. His parents are not going to let him do that anyway. All I wanted to do was to throw in a little wrench so they wouldn't be in such a rush to get you two engaged."

Caprice questioned his rhetoric, "Really?'

John smiled, "Of course! You're my darling daughter. Why would I ever be upset that you weren't born a boy?"

Caprice made a face and groaned, "Alright, but I want to get engaged to Liam, so you'd better clarify things with them before they get the wrong idea."

John suddenly fell silent. He felt a stuffy feeling in his chest.

After a prolonged silence, he said with a deep inflection in his voice," Caprice, the reason I wanted to do this is that I didn't want you two to get engaged and married so early. You're still so young."

He spoke from the depths of his emotions.

Caprice could not understand where he was coming from. She met his gaze and asked, "What difference does it make if I'm married? I’m still going to be your daughter, aren't I?"

John was struck speechless.

"Pfft!" Sherry failed to stifle her laughter.

Ding!

A phone suddenly rang, interrupting their conversation.

John reached for the phone in his pocket. Upon reading the name of the caller, he seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Sherry asked curiously, "Who's that?"

John told her, "Odell." "Why is he suddenly calling you? Did we forget something?" Sherry murmured in confusion.

John answered the call.

Suddenly, a silence washed over the car as Caprice and Sherry waited eagerly to see what Odell had to say.

John put the phone to his ear and asked, "What is it?"

John told her, "They told me that Liam himself agreed to marry into our house."

Sherry was stunned.

Caprice's eyes grew wide with shock as well. She had to admit that the idea that Liam agreed to such conditions brought a smile to her face. He must have only agreed because he wanted desperately to marry her.

John informed them, "He asked US to go back to their place so that we can discuss further details."

Sherry turned to Caprice, "Caprice, do you want to get engaged to Liam?"

Caprice replied without skipping a beat, "Yes."

Sherry smiled faintly.

Since Caprice had made the call, they had no reason to delay the engagement any further.

Besides, it was just as Caprice said. Her getting married to Liam did not change the fact that she was always going to be their daughter.
