Chapter 1831

Sylvia led Caprice by the hand. “Caprice, let’s go. The boys will come later.”

Caprice followed her to the dining table and asked out of curiosity, “Aunt Sylvia, aren’t Flint and Isabel coming home

today?”

Sylvia replied, “Isabel has a shoot today and Flint is very busy, so they’re not coming back.”

This meant that it was only going to be the two of them along with Odell and Liam.

Did Liam know about this?

Did his girlfriend Heather know?

“Caprice, what’s wrong? Why the sad face? Did something bad happen?” Sylvia noticed her sullen expression

almost immediately.

Caprice quickly snapped back to her senses and played it down. “No, nothing.”

“Are you sure? You looked like there was something on your mind back there.” Sylvia took her hand and suddenly

shifted to a serious tone, “Your mother isn’t around, so I’m your family now. Come on and tell me. What

happened?”

For a brief second, Caprice almost decided to tell Sylvia to stop trying to set her up with Liam. Liam already had a

girlfriend, and she did not want to ruin their relationship. Then, she immediately realized that going by Uncle Odell’s

way of doing things, he would tell Liam to break up with Heather if he found out about their relationship.

It seemed like Liam hadn’t told them about Heather. This must be part of the reason he was having reservations

about telling them. She should not meddle with his private affairs.

She assured Sylvia, “Aunt Sylvia, I’m fine. It’s just something that happened to one of my roommates recently. I

think I might have to go back to see her for a bit after lunch.”

Sylvia was relieved to hear this, then she asked out of concern, “What happened to your roommate? Do you need

me to help?”

“No, it’ll be fine.”

“Alright, but if you face any problems at all, you have to tell me, understand?”

“Yeah, I understand.”

After a while, Liam and Odell came down to join them.

The father and son were about the same height, and both of them stood a head taller than most people. The

difference was that while Odell held himself with a reflective air, wise with age, Liam had a certain daring that only

the young could afford.

Caprice greeted Odell with a warm smile, “Hi Uncle Odell”

Odell smiled at her “Hey, let’s eat”

With that, he approached Sylvia and sat on one end of the table

The table was rectangular, and since the couple was seated on one side, that meant Caprice and Liam had to sit

across them.

Caprice grew nervous when she realized she had to sit next to Liam but quickly composed

herself. There was nothing to be nervous about. He already had a girlfriend and only thought of her as his sister.

They ate in silence.

“Caprice, it’s going to be the summer break soon. Do you have any plans for the summer?” Odell suddenly broke

the silence.

Caprice answered, “I have no plans for now, but I might go home and stay there for the summer.”

Both her grandma and father had been hinting at her to go home, and she figured there was no reason she should

not do so.

Odell swiped a look at Liam before turning back to Caprice. “You’re almost 20. Have your parents thought about

letting you intern at their place?”

John and Sherry only had one daughter and had a habit of pampering and sheltering her. Still, it was only a matter

of time before she had to take on the mantle of the family business.

Caprice pulled a face and said in a low voice, “They did mention that, but I don’t want to intern yet.”

She interned during the last summer break and it did not go well at all. She barely understood anything, and all the

materials she was given to read seemed like they were written in another language. She planned to try again after

her graduation. Maybe she would be more ready by then.

Liam must have thought poorly of her when he found out how dense she was.

All three of Liam, Isabel, and Flint were prodigies and crushed it academically. She wondered why she had so much

trouble with school when her parents were known for being very intelligent as well.

Before allowing time for Caprice to further second-guess herself, Odell encouraged her with a smile, “You’re still

young. You don’t have to go if you feel like you have more to learn.”

After a pause, he continued, “I heard Liam needs an assistant. You could consider working with him this summer.

It’s a chance to gain some experience without having to stress about working with your parents.”

Caprice grew stiff as she glanced at Liam. She wondered what his reaction would be.
