“So, Mr. Hockings, how is business going with the lawyers?” Abraham asked.“Fine,” Mr Hockings grunted out with a shrug.Abraham raised a brow at him, “Oh really, but my lawyers are telling me something entirely different.”“And what could that be, Connor?” Mr. Hockings countered, narrowing his gaze on Abraham.“You know, my lawyers will only be able to help you if you allow them to,” Abraham stated casually.Mr. Hockings tilted his head to the right to look at Abraham properly, “I never knew you were this interested in my involvement with the lawyers, Connor. I don't know if I should feel honored to know this fact.”Abraham chuckled, “I will not try to stop you if feeling honored is how you think you should feel but I will not impose any feelings on you, Mr. Hockings. And of course, I think I should be concerned with your attempt to get back what has been confiscated from your family, aside from the fact that it happens to be my lawyers you are making use of it also is of great impor

Mrs. Hockings nodded and with one last smile she twirled around preparing to leave with her husband but was stopped when her daughter called out,“Mother, wait, I will go with you,” Sheila said hurriedly, pushing to her feet with a forced smile and without even sparing a glance in Abraham's direction she rushed over to her mother and led her out. The moment the dining room door closed behind Sheila and her mother and they were both in a safe distance away from the door, Mrs. Hockings immediately began firing questions,“What happened? I thought dinner would not be ending until after the desert, that was what Abraham said, what changed? Why is your father angry? Did something happen, okay something definitely happened but is your father okay? Did Abraham say something wrong to him, Is that why he is angry?” Mrs. Hockings suddenly gasped as an idea dropped into her head, “Hopefully your father did not say anything to annoy the host, did he? Did he pick a fight with you? Did_,”Sheila g

“But you should know me by now, Sheila. I would not do anything to anyone except they are totally deserving of it.”Sheila folded her arms over her chest and huffed in annoyance trying to understand the point he was making, “And what did my parents ever do to you?”Abraham shrugged, “Well for starters, your father was the definition of a rude man that needed to be reminded of his place, did you see how he walked into my abode with his head up high like he owned the place,” he scoffed, a flash of the earlier anger in his brown eyes.Of all the things Sheila had been expecting him to say, that was the last thing she had expected him to say. She just could not bring herself to believe herself to believe that the reason Abraham had lost his temper and his cool was just because of how her father had walked in. A part of Sheila knew that her father's walking step had nothing to do with what happened today.“But_,” she began to speak going with the first thought that dropped on her mind, to

The day went by faster than Keith could imagine and it was one of the days he treasured and strived for as he was looking for many more opportunities to spend as much time as he could with Camila without having to worry about all the external worries. Although today was spent lazing around with Camila, he counted it as a blessing, because it helped him relax and for once forget about all his worries. He glanced down at sleeping Camila nested in his eyes and smiled. Her lips were pushed out into a cute pout and she kept on mumbling words he could not quite pick out under her breath but from what he picked out and the way she kept on sighing deeply in her sleep he could tell that her sleep was quite peaceful and worry free, something he wished and longed for these past few days but it had proven quite difficult for him. His sleep these days has been quite short and most of the time close to nothing, most times he was forced to jolt out of his sleep from bad dreams that would have him h

Keith glanced down at Camila's hand that was currently covered completely by his hand and the corner of his lips tilted upward into a smile and he shook his head. He had been the one that suggested holding hands while they were getting down from the car earlier but Camila had been so against it for some reason, shaking her head in refusal with her cheeks bright red with embarrassment and Keith had no idea why especially since it wasn't the first time both of them had held hands in public. He was beginning to worry about her refusal as they approached the restaurant when suddenly Camila had slipped her hand into his and when he glanced at her to ask about her sudden change of mind he had been welcomed by her daring glare and he had quickly swallowed back his question and continued their journey to the restaurant. The more Keith was watching anime the more he saw a glimpse of their attributes in Camila, for example the way her first response to everything and especially an embarrassing
