Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife Chapter 1978
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

Sherry and John were speechless. They did not know what to say upon noting Caprice’s serious demeanor. It would appear that they did not expect that their nineteen-year-old daughter had such a tenacious side to her. “Well… If that's what it is, I suppose he’s the one who should be working hard for me then.” Caprice suddenly relented, realizing that it was a great responsibility lifted from her. She expressed with an emotive sigh and moved on quickly from it. John and Sherry looked on silently. Now, this was the daughter they had known all their lives. … Half an hour later, the car drove into Sparkrow University and arrived at the gate of the female dormitory. The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door for Caprice. Because Caprice sat between Sherry and John, she only managed to step out of the car after they made way for her. After she got out of the car, she barely managed to exchange a word with her parents when several figures sprinted out of the

The middle-aged man and the others who crowded around the trio fell silent. It seemed like they had formed the connection and understood who was behind all that had gone down. They began pleading even more fervently this time, “Please, Master Stockton, Mrs. Stockton, Miss Stockton, you must do something for us! Words can’t express how apologetic we are!” "Please have mercy on us, we weren't even there when everything happened! We have already severely punished our children for their nasty behavior!” "Please give us at least another chance. I’ve worked my entire life to build everything I have today. You can’t ruin me just because of something I wasn’t a part of! Please!" The man who said this dropped to his knees. Having never seen such a display before, Caprice faltered backward. More students were crowded around now, drawn by the commotion. At one point, Caprice heard Lana's voice."Huh? Isn't that Caprice? What happened over here?” Caprice frowned as she addressed th

John and Sherry returned to the car. Caprice heaved a sigh of relief. "Caprice, it looks like you’re going to have to stick with us for a bit longer,” Sherry said while softly brushing Caprice’s hair. Caprice understood the implications as well. Surrounded by a boisterous crowd, some of the students even had their phones out to take pictures and videos of what went down. John was the wealthiest man in Glanchester and was also a public figure, so it was not hard for them to figure out his identity. Many of them must have known who he was already, so news of this was going to spread like wildfire on the campus. Besides, with all these people by the entrance, there was no way she could enter without being pestered. It was a wise choice to stick with her parents for now. Ding! Suddenly, Sherry's phone rang. Caprice and John darted a curious glance in her direction. Sherry was taken aback. “Syl? Why is she calling me at this time?" She promptly answered t
