Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1700

Chapter 1700

John averted his eyes from the binoculars for the first time and turned to Caprice with a warm and gentle smile. “You’re right, that was Mommy’s voice.”

Caprice perked up upon hearing this and asked naively, “What does love at first sight mean?”

John fell silent for a while and considered his response. He answered, “It can mean a lot of things. and it depends on the context, who the person saying it is.”

This further stirred Caprice’s curiosity. “What does it mean when Mommy says it?”

“A white lie.”

Caprice raised another question. “What does white lie mean?”

John smiled and answered, “It means not telling the truth to not hurt someone’s feelings.”

He might have bought it if she had said that her feelings for Carl developed over time, but to say that it was love at first sight? Not a chance.

“Ohh.” Caprice feigned understanding despite still failing to see the connection and expressed, It’s so complicated.”

John smiled and suddenly asked, “Caprice, shall we go see Mommy?”

It was about time for them to head over.

Caprice beamed with joy and nodded excitedly. “Okay!”

Caden began counting down. “Three, two, one.”

till hard to ignore what these pictures hinted at

Not only did the child’s appearance closely resemble that of Sherry’s, but there was also an unmistakable mark of resemblance with the appearance of the mysterious man in the picture.

They looked like a family of three.

Sherry wore a consternated frown.

Carl furrowed her brows tightly.

A stiff silence overtook the venue. The host that had been masterfully stirring the atmosphere all night was baffled by this display and stammered amateurishly. “What. What’s going on?”

Carl turned and glared at Ron, Aiden, and Caden.

Ron feigned shock and cried out loud so everyone could hear him, “My god! Who is that man and that girl? Are they related to Sherry? Is it just me or does that brat in her arm look just like Sherry?”

Since there was not so much as a whisper below the stage, his booming voice traveled across the venue effortlessly.

After he expressed his scandalous speculations, Caden burst out laughing and asked sharply.” Sherry, that’s not your daughter, or is it now?”
