"What is it dad?" a sudden uneasy feeling started growing in my stomach.
Both of them sat straight and mom switched off the TV when dad started.
"I wanted to tell both of you about this. That's why I arranged the dinner but you didn't join us" he paused.
"I'm really sorry about that. Actually Alex was feeling a little depressed so we stayed with him" I told him.
"Yeah your mom told me it's okay sweetheart you did the right thing" he smiled at me, his eyes wrinkling with his smile. He has always been a supportive father.
"Now tell me what's bothering you?" I questioned him.
"Do you remember the man who wanted to buy our land and also offered me this job?" he asked me.
"Yeah what about him?" I was curious now.
I vaguely remember dad told us about some businessman who wanted to build some kind of industrial area on our land so he offered my dad to buy all of our land and also offered him a job.
