Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1883

Chapter 1883

He…he… How could he perform such intimate actions with her?

Did he see this as nothing more than a sibling interaction? How about his girlfriend?

Her heart was going to lurch out of her throat. The sound of the piano was replaced by an incessant ring in her ears. She felt like she was going to pass out any second.

Dum.

The last note concluded the music.

The living room descended into silence again, and Liam removed his hand from hers.

“Do you know how to play the piece now?” he asked.

Caprice stuttered, “No um, no.”

“Let’s do it again.”

“No…no need.”

“Hm?” He lowered his head and cast a suspicious look at her.

She rose immediately and drew back several steps away from him, covering her face the entire time.

Liam frowned. “What’s the matter?”

She stammered as she spoke, “Liam, you…you’re getting a little too close to me. I don’t… I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

She had feelings for Liam, but she was a woman with honor! She would not allow herself to be the third party in Liam’s relationship with Heather!

A stiff silence fell over them.

After not receiving a response from Liam, she slowly pried her fingers away from her eyes and looked at him cautiously.

He had risen from the piano bench at one point and was now standing behind the piano. He cast a quiet look at her. There was the usual indifferent expression on his face.

It was as if the person who held Caprice’s hands and helped her play the piano piece was an entirely different person.

What if… what if she looked too much into it?

“Liam, I… I didn’t mean anything by that,” she explained vainly.

Liam suddenly became very morose. “I have some work I need to take care of later. Are you going

to be sticking around or are you going home?”

Caprice was afraid of overstaying her welcome. “I’m going home.”

They spent the journey in complete silence.

Eventually, the car stopped outside the gate of the dormitory.

“See you, Liam,” Caprice said curtly before stepping out of the car. She clung her purse close to her body before quickly trotting up the stairs.

Inside the car, Liam sat all by himself in the back row.

He leaned against the back of his seat and watched Caprice’s figure disappear up the stairway. He wore a sullen frown on his face full of gloom.

Ding!

He received a text.

He reached for his phone and saw that it was a text from Flint. “Liam, why did you send Caprice away? Did you two get into a fight?”

Liam heaved a long and exhausted sigh. They did not fight, but he sure did want to confront her head-on. He had no idea what was going on with her. In the past, she would cling to him like a bedbug.

It was such a sharp contrast to the present whereby doing something as casual as playing piano together would cause her to recoil away from him. Also, what was it supposed to mean when she remarked that it was inappropriate?

This was not the only episode in recent memory. This strange behavior had been going on for some time, and she had been growing distant.

Could she have possibly fallen for another man?
