Chapter 1694

After a hot and steaming plate of rice was served in front of Caprice by her father, she thanked her father lovingly, “Thank you, Daddy.”

John smiled gently. “You’re welcome, Caprice.”

He picked up another plate and prepared to scoop Sylvia’s portion into it.

Sherry snatched the plate from him with an unruly frown and did it herself instead.

Then she sat down and ate without a word.

John fell silent for a moment, then he got himself a plate and joined them at the dining table.

Apart from the clatter of utensils, there was not so much as a whisper heard at the table.

After her portion, Caprice announced, “I want to drink some soup!”

John took a bowl and filled it to the brim for her.

Caprice smiled. “Thank you, Daddy.”

“You’re welcome.”

Caprice drank the soup and savored every drop.
