Chapter 52: When did you find out?
Elder Allen walked toward his study in silence leaving behind the chaotic sitting room.
It had been one long hectic day, a simple family reunion dinner ended with so many cases — not even a case of love but scheming and plotting, it is really tiring.
He sighed rubbing his temple, his head aching, as his walking stick rattled on the staircase.
In the sitting room, there is a shift in the atmosphere —Aaron reluctantly took Vera to the hospital for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The family members from the second branch left one after another. Desmond glared at Jessica coldly before he stormed out of the sitting room plunging the room into silence.
Jessica sighed in relief but then she felt Davis complicated gaze resting on her. His expression was calm and contemplative.
The heavy silence in the sitting room lingered, broken only by the distant voices s of departing family members. She could still feel the cold resentment in Desmond’s glare before he left. " It was expected but his frustration was only just beginning." She mused.
Ethan had gone to retrieve the cup she instructed him to keep for further investigation, leaving only the two of them in the dimly lit room. Davis leaned back in his wheelchair, his sharp eyes never leaving her face.
"When did you find out?" Davis queried, his tone slow and calm barely perceptible.
