Chapter 1981
He looked like the most precious thing in the world whenever he smiled.
Caprice could not help herself any longer. She propped herself on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck to give him a passionate kiss.
Liam was taken aback, but he soon responded by tightly embracing her.
Meanwhile, the doors and windows of the living room were left open, inviting the gentle breeze outside to blow into its interior. It was peculiarly quiet inside.
Sylvia, Odell, Sherry, and John had not spoken a word since they sat down. Ten minutes had passed since.
Sylvia was the first to break the silence as she coughed dryly.
"Ahem." Sherry could not hold it in any longer anymore and mimicked her cough.
Odell and John looked at them.
Both of them wore queer expressions and broke their silence at the same time, ’How long are you going to keep quiet?"
Wasn't the plan to discuss the exact date for Caprice and Liam's engagement?
'State your proposal already!'
Odell raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, then he turned to John and Sherry. "You two are Caprice's parents, so why don't you two decide?"
John mimicked his gesture and supplied, "Since Liam is going to marry into our family, tradition says that your family is the one who should be choosing a date. Make sure to let us know if you have any additional terms as well."
Odell jerked his lips to the side.
Sherry pinched John tightly on his arm and hissed sharply into his ears, "Why does it matter so much to you that Liam marries into our family?"
He was acting as if his very well-being depended on it!
What nonsense!
John coughed dryly and insisted gravely, 'Those are the terms that they agreed to."
He would lose face if he suddenly withdrew his initial offer!
Sherry had a different way of looking at it. "Just because they agreed doesn't mean we should impose ourselves on them!”
