Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 1882

Sitting next to the window, Liam held the book in hand with an intent look in his eyes.

He looked at Caprice and observed the way she lost herself in the music, her eyes half-closed. She seemed intoxicated by the music she was playing and was beaming like a satisfied kitten.

Meanwhile, at the top of the spiral stairs connected to the living room, two figures were lurking upstairs and looking down at Caprice.

“The only thing saving my ears from permanent damage is the quality of sound from the piano,” Flint commented while leaning against the railing. He frowned while observing how Caprice was completely immersed in her music playing.

Isabel was already covering her ears with her palms with a deep scowl on her face. “Hurry up and text Liam and ask him to stop Caprice. It’s either that or I’ll send you down there to ruin this nice little moment they’re sharing.”

“Why are you sending me to do your dirty work for you? Do it yourself!”

Isabel glared at him. “Do you want me to push you down the stairs right now?”
