Chapter 1970
Liam released Caprice and then looked at John and Sherry." Uncle John, Aunt Sherry, sorry I’m late."
He should have been there with Caprice.
John wore a stoic look and ignored Liam. He said to Caprice, "Caprice, come here."
Caprice hummed reluctantly. She remained in Liam's arms and refused to return to her father.
John's expression turned grim.
Sherry sighed and said, "Caprice, Uncle Odell and Aunt Sylvia are still here. Isabel is watching as well. Come back here." Caprice then realized she was being watched.
She took a step back and saw Odell smiling at her gently while both Sylvia and Isabel smirked. Embarrassed, Caprice immediately returned to her father and mother.
John's grim expression finally relaxed a bit.
Sherry then looked at Liam. "Liam, it's not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
Isabel then stepped up and said, "It’s my fault, Aunt Sherry. | asked Caprice to accompany me to the event."
Sherry smiled and said, "It's not your fault either, my dear. It's the girl named Heather trying to give Caprice a hard time. Even if Caprice didn't follow you here tonight, Heather would find a way to hurt her too. I’m glad that she's with you tonight."
Isabel nodded but she still felt guilty.
Caprice then said, "Isabel, it's not your fault. Heather told me about this event at school. | thought she was just trying to make fun of me, but now it seems like she tricked me here so that I'd fall into her trap."
Isabel frowned. "That good-for-nothing girl must be taught a lesson." Both Sherry and John looked grim. Liam pursed his lips as well.
Caprice sensed the heaviness in the air. She put on a smile and said, "I’m fine now. | believe Heather won’t come after me anymore. Come on, you guys. Don't put on a long face."
Isabel pinched her cheek. "You're overly optimistic."
Caprice chuckled. She then curled her arms in both her father's and mother's arm respectively. "Daddy, Mommy, I'm hungry." Sylvia and Odell exchanged a quick look. Odell then said, " Then let's go. Uncle Odell will bring you to get something to eat." Caprice hummed happily.
John and Sherry sighed. There was no reason forthem to be grumpy anymore, so they brought Caprice to the car.
They got into the car and the driver and bodyguard prepared to start the car. It was then the door opened again.
It was Liam and he wanted to come in.
Both John and Sherry were speechless.
Caprice's eyes shone brightly. "Liam?"
She wanted to sit beside Liam but John held her back.
She pouted at her father.
John then looked at Liam. "Where's your car?” “My car doesn’t have enough seats," he said. John was silenced.
Odell and Sylvia came in their own car, so Liam must have come in his own car as well, yet he claimed that his father’s car had no seat for him.
"Come in then," Sherry said with a smile.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She then glared at John, signaling him to stop making a scene.
John pursed his lips and looked away.
The car started.
Liam pulled his phone out.
A few taps later, the navigation on the car was changed to the destination he set on his phone.
The voice indication said, "Navigation starts. 32 kilometers to the destination. Please drive carefully at night."
