Liam asked right away, “Mom, Dad, what were you two going to talk to me about?”

Sylvia cast a questioning look at Odell. “Was he talking to you about the conditions for Caprice and Liam's engagement?"

Odell nodded grimly.

Sylvia asked nervously, ''What did he say?”

Liam was looking at him expectantly as well.
