In short, it was a disastrous, sleepless night for many people in the city.
The next day, Caprice woke up naturally after a night of restful sleep.
She saw that it was almost ten in the morning. She hurriedly sprang out of bed to brush her teeth and wash her
face. After that, she changed into a set of clean clothes and walked out.
When she got to the living room, she saw Odell and John sharing a pot of tea at the tea table, talking about
something.
Sherry and Sylvia were huddled together in another corner of the living room as well and were happily chattering
away.
Liam sat alone by the window. The sunlight beat against his silhouette, casting a long shadow over the floor. He
looked dashing as always.
Isabel was nowhere to be seen; perhaps she was still sleeping.
Caprice was relieved that at least there was another person lazier than she was. She walked down the stairs with a
warm smile. "Good morning, Mom, Dad, Uncle Odell, Aunt Sylvia."
Odell and Sylvia smiled and nodded at her.
Sherry smiled and greeted her, "It’s almost noon!"

night, and she must have had a hard time falling asleep."
He made sure to point to the scapegoat. "Besides, isn't Isabel still sleeping?"

Sylvia smiled weakly, then she turned to Caprice. "Caprice darling, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better," Caprice answered brightly.

"Okay."
There was a lot of food set on the dining table.
She got herself two plates and filled them with various pastries and biscuits. Then, she brought the plates to Liam
and sat across from him.
"Hey, Liam, good morning.'' She reserved the brightest smile of that morning for Liam.
Liam looked at her charming smile which was like a flower in full bloom. He grinned and said, "Morning."
Caprice began eating her breakfast.
Liam unscrewed the cap of a bottle of fruit juice for her. ‘Take it easy."
"Gotcha."
Sherry and Sylvia observed the duo for a while before looking away and exchanging a smile with each other.
John held the teacup stiffly in his hand, and his expression darkened slightly without him realizing it.
Odell grabbed the teapot and refilled his cup. Then, he asked candidly, "I heard Liam and Caprice worked on a joint
project a little while ago. How did that project turn out?"
This managed to recapture John's attention. He replied indifferently, "It was alright." "Alright as in everything went
well?"
