Chapter 1853
While setting down the bowl of soup, she stared at the te of grilled prawns on the opposite end of the table.
Five lucent pieces of grilled prawn, their charred skin appearing immeasurably crisp. She longed to bite into them.
She stared drunkenly at Liam.
When she turned to the table again, the te of grilled prawns moved from its original spot and was now ced at her end of the
table.
She looked surprised. “Liam, why are you giving them to me?”
Liam remarked, “I don’t like oily food.”
She refuted, “But they''re not oily.”
“Just throw them away if you''re not eating them,” he said disinterestedly.
Caprice hurriedly snatched the te while smiling greedily. “I''ll eat them, I''ll eat them.”
Liam took one look at her, then he continued eating.
Caprice gobbled up all five pieces of grilled prawn in no time. Then, she moved on to finishing the remaining vegetable and soup,
feelingpletely bloated by the end. She set aside the utensils. It was only then that she noticed Liam had finished eating long
ago and was seated upright, staring
at her.
She volunteered, “Liam, why don’t you get some rest? I''ll clean
up.”
“No, someone else will clean this up,” he said as he rose from his seat. “Come with me.”
Caprice got up and obediently followed him into the living room.
They crossed an opening in between the ss panel adjacent to the living room and entered a hallway. Soon, they stepped into
arge bedroom.
There was a dedicated dressing room and bathroom connected to the bedroom.
rge bed dominated the center of the bedroom, the minimalistic gray-colored beddingplimenting the ambiance of the
room.
Was this Liam’s bedroom?
Caprice’s eyes gleamed when the thought came to her.
“You will sleep here tonight,” Liam announced.
“How about you?” she asked hastily.
“I''m sleeping in the next room.”
“Oh, okay.”
He cast a fleeting nce at her.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Caprice quickly brushed away the look of disappointment in her eyes and asked gingerly, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“There are clean pajamas in the closet and a fresh set of toiletries in the bathroom.” He was a very
attentive host.
She nodded. “Okay.”
“Don''t stay up. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
With that, he left and shut the door with a gentle thud.
She stretchedzily.
After that, she went into the bathroom.
There was only a single set of toiletries. It seemed like Heather had never lived here.
Still, it did not change the fact that she was Liam’s girlfriend.
She let out an exhausted sigh before turning on the shower head and jumping into the shower.
After the shower, she went to the dresser and found the fresh set of pajamas Liam mentioned.
The pajama pants were toorge for her. They would slide down her waist the moment she put
them on.
‘Oh, well,’ she figured. She was only going to sleep here for a night, so she could do without the pants. With that in mind, she
crawled into bed wearing the top and her underwear.
There was a faint scent on the quilt that reminded her of Liam. She sniffed at it, then shut her eyes, feeling at ease.
Ding!
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She quickly sat up.
It was Freya calling. She hurriedly answered the call.
Freya’s anxious voice immediately red through the speakers, “Caprice, where have you been? Why aren’t you home yet?”
Caprice apologized frantically, “I’m sorry, Frey, | forgot to text you. Something happened, so | won''t being home tonight.”
“What happened? Are you okay?”
Since they were close friends, Caprice saw no need to keep secrets from her. She ryed the events of the night to her, starting
from her arrival at Elysian House with Jonathan, then to the harassment by President Michael. Then, she spoke about how they
chased her down before Liam showed up and saved her.
