Chapter 1898

On the other end of the phone, Sherry turned stiff.

John was just as startled by Caprice’s response.

He snatched Sherry’s phone without warning and asked, “Caprice, be honest with your father. Did Liam do anything to you?”

He knew that his dear daughter had been fond of Liam since she was a child. There were several years in a row when her birthday wish had been to be with Liam forever.

Now that the Carters proposed an engagement for the pair, she turned it down of her own volition. The only logical explanation for this decision was that Liam had done something to her. John could not see any other explanations.

Caprice was taken aback to hear his voice. She was not expecting her father to be listening in. She hurriedly explained, “Dad, it’s not like that. Liam hasn’t done anything to me.”

“Then, why don’t you want to be engaged to him?”

“There’s no reason. I just- I just didn’t want to.”

“Don’t you have feelings for him anymore?”

Caprice felt her voice catch in her throat. She could not bear to lie about her feelings regarding Liam.
