Capítulo 56: Chapter 56 THE REVELATION

Hansel sauntered through the door into the hall that evening to meet his family seated at the hall, watching the news update on Elosie's suicide case. As often happened with mysterious deaths, speculations became rife by the hour as everyone tried to find possible causes and the rumour mill continued to chum it's vicious tale. His approaching steps brought the gaze of both Delia and Ben, who had no idea of what was really going on and Marvin's attention on him.

" Dad" Ben exuded, matching up to him at the entrance, of which Delia followed with a smile and hugged him, landing a kiss on his cheeks.

"Welcome, honey" She cheerfully greeted. On noticing him, Marvin instinctively jerked up from his side of the seat and shuffled up the stairs which made Ben and Delia stared at his back, worried. Delia who only knew his absurd attitude may be the cause of his father's rejection to his decision to take up basketball as a career, instantly feigned a smile.
