CHAPTER 14

"Dad," Michael called as he climbed down the stairs with Ashley to the living room. They both made their way to the double-sitter cushioned chair and sat down like a married couple.

"Son, how are you?"

"I'm good dad."

"Welcome, Mr. Walter." Ashley greeted him

"How are you dear?"

"I'm fine sir." She replied forcing a smile on her lips.

"Dad, why did you suddenly come without informing me?" Michael inquired.

"Can't I visit my son and his wife any time I like again?"

"You can dad, but you should have at least informed us before coming."

"Well, it's already too late, I'm here already."

"Sir, your drink." Jane interrupted their conversation as she arrived with a bottle of non-alcoholic wine in her right hand and three flute glass cups in her left hand. She gently placed them on the golden center table and served them the drink each.

"Thank you, Jane." Mr. Walter appreciated as Jane made her way out of their premises. He took a sip of his drink and said; "I came for a purpose."
