Chapter 44

Sid's POV

"Mr Watson?" I startle, walking towards them.

"Dad, you're here?" Bella exclaims as she joins me. Mom and Mr Watson pass with warm smiles, making us more confused.

"Here they are," mom beams, taking us in a tight embrace which she never did for years! I should be happy but her hug doesn't feel that much affection now.

"Dad, you were in Australia, right?" Bella asks him again.

"Yes. I was about to go there. But I had some other plans," he smiles at us. This is freaking me out. What the heck is he doing here after ruining my company? I did not feel like talking to him either.

"Have a seat with us," mom makes us sit on the sofa. I and Bella can only look at each other confusingly. I was already feeling awkward when I came with Bella here, now Mr Watson. What makes him come here?

"Drinks?" Sam asks.

"Sure, Sam," mom looks very happy. Well, I don't know the reason.

"I don't drink," Bella mutters.
