Chapter 80 Stage Three of the Bet, Intoxication 1

Supposedly, after the incident between Jarrod and Dewitt, Jarrod being so touched after so many years of not having a father and Dewitt being so touched by the love his son showed him, the two embraced deeply.

Supposedly.

What kind of person was Dewitt to have that much emotional progress with his son only after some crying?

He had always been cool as a glacier.

That's why after the touching incident died down, silence returned to the duo, only this time Dewitt never spoke about exterminating Bella again, giving the dog a new chance at life.

...

Norman too, was satisfied after meeting Jarrod's Dad. He would have to leave the Darknorth family and go back home to Mom soon.

But why did he now not want to leave Grandpa and Grandma? Or Jarrod's Dad? Or even that ugly dog?

The night was bright with light when Shirley came back to Midnight Heights.

Dewitt was already in the room when she entered, leaning against the panoramic balcony with a cigar in hand, puffing leisurely.
