    Chapter 1988


    Freya, Lana, and Piper dly epted her invitation.


    After they wrapped up their conversation, Caprice logged on to the campus forum. She wanted to see how the situation was


    developing.


    To her surprise, she was unable to ess the forum. A message popped up that said the system was currently undergoing


    maintenance.


    Meanwhile, she received a text Piper forwarded to her.


    Since she was one of themittees of one of the social clubs at the university, she had received a notice the university officials


    issued to all themittee members.


    The forwarded message read: "What happened this afternoon outside the dormitory this afternoon is a matter of privacy. | hope


    the students will respect the privacy of the involved student and not spread the information online. Please do your part in passing


    this message on to your friends.”


    Caprice heaved a sigh of relief.


    There was no chance they could hope to stop the rumors from circting on the campus, but knowing that it was not on the


    inte was enough constion. As long as the outside world did not know that the daughter of the Stocktons of nchester


    was enrolled in Sparkrow University, that was good enough for her.


    By the time they reached Liam''s ce, the sun was just setting.


    The evening sun cast a beautiful glow over thendscape, and the sky was a pastel gradient of amber and orange. Its elusive


    glow beat against the face of the man, who was standing outside the house, waiting for Caprice.


    As soon as Caprice got out of the car, she bolted toward him immediately. She cried out brightly, "Liam!"


    Liam returned a smile and held his arms wide open.


    Caprice threw herself into his embrace.


    He held onto her firmly like a treasured jewel. He asked in a soft, concerned voice, "Are you okay? What happened at the dorm


    just now?"


    Caprice snuggled into his embrace and said softly, "I''m fine, but everyone on campus saw me and found out about my real


    identity.”


    "| see.” Liam yed with her hair before pulling away.


    Caprice grimaced unhappily.


    Before she could utter aint, Liam looked behind her and greeted her parents solemnly, "Uncle John, Aunt Sherry, this is


    on me. | should have been more careful."


    He should have considered that the families of Heather''s friends would go to Caprice to ask for help.


    Caprice''s eyes were suddenly tinged with shock, and she quickly turned around.


    John and Sherry were practically next to them.


    John frowned sullenly.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Sherry smiled courteously. "It''s fine. You were looking out for Caprice.”


    Sylvia and Odell showed up as well.


    “Alright, enough about all that. Come, let me take you to my studio." Sylvia motioned at Sherry and took her hand.


    Odell gestured at John. "Two bottles of wine | ordered just arrived. Care to try ’em?"


    John asked with suppressed interest, "What kind of wine?"


    "You''ll know it when you see them," Odell said mysteriously.


    John darted a look at Caprice and Liam, then he followed Odell to the wine cer.


    Only Caprice and Liam were left.


    She swiftly spun around and hugged Liam. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with joy, "Liam, do you know what''s next


    Saturday?"


    He squinted and answered matter-of-factly, "It''s the weekend."


    Caprice frowned to express her disapproval.


    Liam pinched the tip of her little nose. "What? It''s the weekend, isn''t it?"


    Caprice had a feeling he was teasing her on purpose. She made a face and said sharply, "Say it before | get angry at you!"


    "Say what?" he asked in a puzzled manner.


    “What''s next Saturday? You know it!" She was yelling at this point.


    Liam said coolly, "It''s the weekend."
