Chapter 45 A Time To Sin I

Their footsteps were like a recorded track—like they were counting each step with precision. Billy looked up, and his eyes caught hold of them. His uncle, Harcourt, his Asian wife, and his daughter. He blinks twice and wipes his lips. The two ladies were epitomes of beauty. They were walking side by side with his uncle, Harcourt, a handsome old man, at their center. Harcourt has beards like Billy’s maternal grandfather, who raised him when his father and his mother were engrossed with the task of building their business. They got to the dining room with a warm smile on their faces. “Look who we have here.” Harcourt said, and he walked over to hug his sister, alongside his daughter and his Asian wife. “Sister, how are you doing?” “I’m fine with my handsome son.” Billy’s mother remarked with a smile, hugging and kissing her brother’s cheeks. “It’s been long, Harcourt.” “Of course, sis.” Harcourt turned to Billy. “And that’s your little boy, Billy?” Billy’s mother gave him a nod.
