Chapter 69 Settlement

69. Settlement

<< . Sophia . >>

It’s been over a week since we started officially dating and I have been over the moon. Despite, all the hell that has been happening in my life. I’m happy and content.

But today, I am a little anxious.

Last night dad called and said Nikkie and Caleb want to meet me and settle before the formal pretrial conference.

It’s overall a jarring experience. A few weeks ago, I didn’t even know what it meant.

“Its meeting of the judge and lawyers to review evidence and witnesses, to set a timetable, and to discuss the settlement of the case,” Miles had explained it to me.

Dad said it would be better if I considered it. I didn’t object. Because I know he is struggling too. Uncle Orin told me that dad is considering divorcing Joy. I hate her, but the thought of dad going through divorce made me feel uneasy.

My phone buzzes as I step into the lift. I am at Miles’ office. We selected this spot for the meeting.
