Liam coughed dryly. “Nothing." He approached the bed and gently ruffled her hair. “Sleep.” Upon realizing that he was about to leave, Caprice grabbed his wrist. She looked at him and pleaded softly, "Liam, I want to sleep with you tonight." Liam stuttered for a moment as he looked into her eyes. It was a sincere request. All Caprice wanted to do was to spend the night in his arms. "No," he refused firmly. Caprice wrinkled her nose, feeling wounded. Liam took a breath and spoke in a soft, patient voice, "Caprice, we can't sleep together just yet." "Then, when can we sleep together?" Caprice asked in a confused voice. They were already dating, so what was wrong with that? Liam pursed his lips. "Just wait until we get engaged." Since Caprice’s father had not agreed to their getting engaged, that meant he had not approved of their relationship yet. With that knowledge, he could not allow himself to lay a finger on Caprice. “Okay,” Caprice muttered weakly

Caprice slept soundly that night. Meanwhile, there was a terrific storm brewing in Westchester’s business circle. Out of nowhere, countless scandals revolving around VV Entertainment’s Manson family emerged from the dark. Their illegal dealings and bribery were suddenly exposed to the public, and even the celebrities under their label were not safe from the disaster as nasty details about their private lives were leaked to various media sources. Overnight, their stock prices fell off a cliff. Roman, Sophia, and Heather fled the city overnight. By the time the police caught on to what was happening, the family had already boarded a plane from a neighboring city and were headed abroad. Just like that, a titan in the entertainment industry collapsed overnight. The collateral damage was wholly unprecedented. Several companies that had been involved with VV Entertainment in their illegal dealings were affected as well and were plunged into irremediable crises. Naturally

"It went pretty well." Odell smiled faintly. “Looks like Caprice is more capable than we thought.” Upon hearing this, John beamed with pride. “She did pretty well. You can say that she inherited something from her parents.” Odell flicked an eyebrow and commented with a smile, “That must mean that she’s destined for great things in the future.” John took a sip of tea, and expressed, “All I want is for her to live a peaceful, happy life.” Of course, he would be glad if Caprice was willing to take over the reins of the family business. Nevertheless, above all else, what mattered most to him was the well-being and happiness of his dear daughter. Odell poured him another cup of tea while adding nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, Liam will take good care of her, and I’m sure she will live a good life with him.” John's expression suddenly changed. He said in a mildly confrontative voice, "It's a bit early to say that. I haven't agreed to them getting engaged just yet.” Odell

After everyone bade farewell to each other, Caprice entered the car with her parents and drove out of the manor. Once the car had gone out of sight, Liam and his parents stepped back into the house. Liam asked right away, “Mom, Dad, what were you two going to talk to me about?” Sylvia cast a questioning look at Odell. “Was he talking to you about the conditions for Caprice and Liam's engagement?" Odell nodded grimly. Sylvia asked nervously, "What did he say?” Liam was looking at him expectantly as well. Odell hesitated for a moment, and it seemed like he was holding back the urge to criticize John. He announced solemnly, "He said Caprice was his and Sherry's only child and that they did not have the heart to see their daughter leave them. He wanted Liam to marry into their house instead.” Sylvia was baffled. Liam pursed his lips and did not let his reaction show. Suddenly, the trio descended into a stiff silence. Sylvia and Odell looked at Liam as if wa

John grew slightly frantic. He gently brushed Caprice’s hair and scrambled for an explanation. "Caprice, it’s not so much that I want Liam to marry into our house. His parents are not going to let him do that anyway. All I wanted to do was to throw in a little wrench so they wouldn’t be in such a rush to get you two engaged.” Caprice questioned his rhetoric, “Really?’ John smiled, "Of course! You're my darling daughter. Why would I ever be upset that you weren’t born a boy?” Caprice made a face and groaned, “Alright, but I want to get engaged to Liam, so you’d better clarify things with them before they get the wrong idea.” John suddenly fell silent. He felt a stuffy feeling in his chest. After a prolonged silence, he said with a deep inflection in his voice, "Caprice, the reason I wanted to do this is that I didn’t want you two to get engaged and married so early. You’re still so young.” He spoke from the depths of his emotions. Caprice could not understand where

Right after Sherry told the driver to take them back to the Carters, her phone started ringing. She looked at the display and turned to John with a wide smile. “It’s Syl calling.” She answered the call. Just as expected, Sylvia was calling to ask Sherry and John to take Caprice back to their place to stay for another night. They were going to discuss Liam’s engagement with Caprice. Sherry agreed gladly, "We'll be right there.” The driver had just finished making a U-turn. They were on their way back to the Carters. Sandwiched between John and Sherry, Caprice tried to distract herself by looking at the passing scenery outside, but she simply could not wait. Within ten minutes, the car swerved through the gates of Carter Manor and stopped in front of the house. Odell, Sylvia, and Liam were already standing in front of the building waiting for them. As soon as Caprice got out of the car, she went straight to Liam. "Liam…" Liam took her in his arms. John ma

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 ra

John said while staring intently into Odell’s eyes, “No matter how many children Caprice and Liam bear in the future, at least one of them has to take up the Stockton name.” Sherry did not seem like she had anything to say about that. She was not concerned about how many children Caprice would bear with Liam or what surname their children would take up. Regardless, this was not an outrageous condition coming from John. Perhaps this was one of those things men could relate to better since after a brief silence, thus it was Odell who agreed, “Alright.” Sylvia smiled and announced gladly, “What about next Saturday? It will be a fine day for Caprice and Liam to officially get engaged.” Sherry nodded her approval. “Sure.” John offered, “We will host the engagement ceremony at my place.” Odell had no qualms about that. “Sure.” Sylvia asked, “Does that mean that you two will be handling the entire procession?” Sherry spoke, “Yes, I'll discuss it with Caprice’s gran
