There was a tensed silence in the hall. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, so Lana decided to take initiative, "Mom, Dad. Let's do this after dinner alright?" She said looking at both sides. Matthew and his wife agreed readily, moving to the table for dinner, the servants serving everyone food. Once everyone was seated.
They began to eat in silence as they waited for the tension to subside a bit.
After dinner, while the others sat at the leisure room chatting, Lana left with her parents to the study, where they could have a conversation and talk things out.
"What is going on here? Don't tell me, this man is your father?" Joseph Lang asked as soon as he stepped into the study.
"Yes, Father. From your tone, it seems like I was not ever going to know about the fact that my biological father is someone else. Was, it... Father, Mom?" Lanaquestioned looking straight at her Mom.
"That's because you weren't meant to find out!"
