Declan Darcy pondered a moment: "Okay, I understand. It's Saturday today, so your whole family is at home, aren't they?"
"Yes..."
"I see. Don't discuss this in front of your dad. Do you understand?"
Isaac Dupont replied: "Oh..."
Declan Darcy continued: "Go ahead and get up. I have to take care of some things here. If anything else comes up, give me a call."
"Alright, Mr. Darcy, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Isaac."
Isaac hung up the phone and put the landline back to where it was. He sat lost in thought for a while, then got out of bed, dressed himself up, and went downstairs.
The whole family of four was having breakfast together in the dining room. Isaac kept discreetly observing his parents' expressions all the while.
The two of them barely talked since the start.
What a way for a family to have breakfast together...
Aurora Dupont had no clue what was going on. She was watching Mila eat breakfast and nibbling on her own when her cell phone rang.
