Chapter 1922
Liam stopped.
Caprice jerked away and fell over, landing on the ground with a soft thud.
She saw her father standing in front of the window.
Her cheeks were burning. She covered her face with her hands and did not even bother to pick herself off the
ground.
For the first time, she could spot a hint of nerves in Liam’s usually cool and composed expression.
It went away as quickly as it came. After he recomposed himself, he went to Caprice and carried her in
his arms.
He turned to John and spoke solemnly, “Uncle Stockton, Caprice hit her head. I’ll carry her back to her
room.”
John cast a sharp look at him with a grunt, “Hm.”
With that, Liam carried Caprice in his arms and started to walk away.
Once they were out of the courtyard, she removed her hands from her face. She instantly met Liam’s eyes.

like he was holding back laughter.
Caprice shot a look at him, then she burrowed her face in his chest so he would not keep staring at her
Her courtyard was directly diagonal across the courtyard of her parents.
After a while, Liam brought her into her room.
Her small courtyard was slightly smaller but very neat, and her room was well-decorated and homely.
Upon stepping inside, Liam settled her on the couch.
She tried to pull herself up, then she felt a palm gripping her chin.
He hunched over and brought his face within inches of hers.
Before she could react, he had planted his soft and luscious lips onto hers. Her eyes flew wide open with shock.
Liam quenched his thirst on her taste and spoke in between kisses, “Close your eyes.”
His voice was alluring and seductive.
Caprice closed her eyes submissively
They continued to kiss for a while, filling each other with passion while maneuvering their heads and lips delicately
around each other.
She could feel his caress which was so gentle and yet so forceful at the same time. Then, she began to feel up his
body the same way. She even grabbed the collar of his neck.
He suddenly held his breath.
Immediately after that, he wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her from the couch as if she did not weigh
anything at all. He took her into his arms.
Their breathing had become erratic at this point as he smothered her in endless kisses.
She was losing her mind and moaned softly.
Her stifled voice seemed to have snapped Liam back to his senses. He suddenly let go of her. He pulled away from
her and stared at her reddened cheeks, her quaint expression, and her sparkling eyes that were filled with hunger.
The excitement in his chest came surging back up again like a torrent. He pursed his lips tightly and promptly went
outside.
Caprice, still drunk in passion, was confused by his sudden departure.
Why did he suddenly get up and leave?
She patted her restless chest to calm her beating heart. With a long sigh, she got up and went outside.
As soon as she crossed into the living room, she noticed his tall figure standing over the sink on the side of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcourtyard. He was splashing cold water on his face.
After a while, he stopped his busy movements and leaned with one hand against the wall. He hung his head low and
panted as if he was struggling for breath.
He had unbuttoned the collar of his shirt at one point. Loose strands of hair were clumped together after contact
with water and draped over his forehead. Loose droplets of water slid down the contours of his cheeks and traced
down to his chin, then his neck, passing through his prominent Adam’s apple.
Caprice asked with stark confusion, “Liam, are you okay?”
Liam turned to her.
After splashing his face with cold water, all the color drained out of his complexion. Underneath his bold brows, his
eyes contained a penetrating gaze, flared with red like a rabid animal.
Caprice retorted backward the moment she met his gaze and shrunk into herself.
Liam frowned, then he began splashing water over his face again. Cold water clung to every pore of his skin,
dissipating the burning heat inside his body.
He sighed deeply and opened his eyes. Then, he turned around and was prepared to explain what had happened to
Caprice.
The moment he turned around, he met Caprice standing only inches away from him.
She looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes and handed him a set of clean towels. “Here you go.”
