Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1973

Chapter 1973

John said with a glance at Caprice, "We're not in a hurry. Why don’t you send Caprice to the bedroom first?"

Sylvia smiled and obliged, "Sure."

She could tell that John's true concern was that Liam would steal away Caprice when they were out of sight.

Sherry smiled weakly, then she waved over at Caprice who was standing next to Liam. "Caprice, come with us."

Caprice cast a reluctant look at Liam before dragging her feet over to Sherry.

Liam noticed where she was headed and followed after her.

John cast a morose look at him. "Why are you following her?”

’I’m walking her back to her room," Liam said without the most remote change of his expression.

John took a breath and let it slide.

As Caprice smiled and drew closer to Liam, Sylvia and Sherry shared a hearty chuckle at their interaction.

Caprice was going to stay over in the guest room on the second floor.

The room was large, clean, and cozy, and it was adjacent to Liam's bedroom.

"Caprice, would you mind using this room tonight?" Sylvia asked her.

Caprice replied appreciatively, "Sure, Aunt Sylvia, thank you very much.”

Sylvia smiled, then she turned to John and Sherry. ’TH take you two to your room."

Sherry smiled. "Alright."

As for John, he cast an unfriendly look at Liam who was standing by the door. "What are you still standing around there for?"

Liam glanced at Caprice, then he turned around and walked out.

Caprice puffed up her cheeks and looked at John grumpily. That was all it took for John to shift his demeanor, and he suddenly became gentle and doting.

He gently ruffled Caprice's hair and said, "Be a good girl and make sure you get enough sleep. We’re going to bed as well."

Caprice grumbled.

"What happened to your back?"

'They stepped on me several times," she said in an aggrieved voice.

Liam frowned. "I'll call the doctor right now."

She hurriedly stopped him. "It just aches a little. There's no need for a doctor."

Liam was silent for a moment, then he led her into her room and drew closer to the bed.

Caprice looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He ordered, "Lay on the bed."

She quickly got the message. Liam wanted to inspect her back for any signs of injury. She obediently lay face down on the bed.

She stared at the snow-white quilt and listened to Liam's ruffling movements as he lowered himself onto the bed.

Soon, she could hear the streak of the zipper on her back being pulled open.

She felt an unexpected chill the moment he pulled her zipper open, and it suddenly occurred to her that she was tense. It was as if she was nervously anticipating something.
