Chapter 74

"My my, I never thought the black sheep of the house would step inside my house of his own accord." My Father uttered with a smug look on his face as I sauntered into the ridiculously large parlour. 

"Desmond..." My mother called and unlike my father, she wore a bright smile but I ignored her. Rather, I chose to focus on my Father. There he was, seated side by side with my mother on the red couch. Just the sight of both of them alone, was tiring enough. But this time, I couldn't do as I pleased. I wouldn't have stepped into this house if I wasn't at a high disadvantage. 

"Why are you here?" She asked but I chose to relax on a couch opposite theirs.

"It can't possibly be because you miss us right?" My Father scoffed. "The boy I know wouldn't swallow his ego just to visit his aging parents."
