At the Crawfords residence, everyone was gathered after breakfast. Even Olivia hadn't left for school because Williams had earlier asked everyone to wait behind for an important announcement.
Everyone present could more or less guess the reason and what the announcement would be about but they all stoll sat down and waited. They might just be surprised.
William walked in with David beside him. His presence alone had many frowning, but none spoke and only exchanged stiff pleasantries and smiles that didn't quite reach their eyes. They all exchanged glances, but none could answer the unspoken questions in the others' eyes.
"Father," Dominic finally spoke, breaking the silence. Williams, who had yet to pay attention to them as he was engaged in a small but tense conversation with David, turned and looked at him. "Forgive my interruption, Father. But everyone is eager to know what your important announcement would be," he said.
