Chapter 1991
He had barely finished his sentence when Flint swiftly drew away his hands from Caprice's shoulder.
He held his hands inches away from his face to admire them while expressing sourly, "What do you mean stinky hands? These hands are beautiful."
Liam ignored him.
Flint held his hands in front of Caprice. 'Take a look, Caprice. Do these hands look beautiful to you or what?”
Smack!
Liam smacked his hand away without mercy.
Flint groaned from the pain.
Caprice broke out into a chuckle, amused by the shrill cry of Flint.
Isabel showed up as well and joked. "Flint, you better watch out. Caprice is going to be our sister-in-law soon enough. If you step on her toes, I don't think I can save you from Liam breaking your legs."
Flint scoffed. "I have long legs, he won't get me."
Upon saying that, he playfully grabbed Liam's shoulder before scuttling away toward Sylvia and Odell to seek their protection.
Liam looked on silently.
He wore a look of disdain as if the mere idea of continuing this interaction offended him.
Flint had always liked to get on Liam's nerves ever since he was a child, even if he knew he was never going to come on top. Caprice was long used to this queer interaction between the siblings but still was amused nonetheless.
Isabel grinned, then she walked away.
The engagement ceremony was more elaborate compared to an actual wedding.
After the friends and relatives had all shown up, the engagement ceremony officially commenced.
Caprice and Liam walked to the middle of the field with their parents on both sides. They exchanged engagement rings and proceeded to say their vows of engagement.
After that, the Carters presented their dowry gifts with all of their friends and relatives present as witnesses.
Caprice was surprised to see that Odell and Sylvia had prepared two large boxes filled with treasured jewelry for her.
There were several boxes that followed after, and all of them were filled with luxury apparel.
Finally, there was an envelope filled with money.
They did not specify the amount, but it was not hard to imagine that it must have been a shocking amount of cash.
John seemed pleased with this presentation as a rare smile broke out on his face.
They went through the rest of the procedures without any hiccups, and the engagement ceremony wrapped up smoothly.
The bridal presents were taken to Caprice's courtyard.
Then, Caprice and Liam went to the ballroom with everyone following them.
They operated according to tradition where the elders, relatives, and friends were seated first. After that, the newly pronounced fiance and fiancee raised their glasses and toasted their guests.
Shortly after the toasting session, Liam seemed to have grown tired. He tilted his head down with his palms placed against his forehead as if suppressing a headache. He had drunk roughly the same amount as Caprice, which was not a lot to speak of.
Caprice asked him worriedly, "Liam, are you drunk?"
