Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 465

The Thompsons were usually busy with their own affairs, each one swamped with work. Mr. Thompson Sr.'s daily life was managed by his aide.

It was only during the holidays that the Thompson family gathered and the house felt lively.

Unlike previous years, Mrs. Thompson Sr., who had been living in a nursing home, had also returned, bringing Vanessa and her family with her.

Vanessa had been sent abroad at seven and had been away for over thirty years. She was married with a child. Her husband, Omar Bishop, was in investment banking, but business had been tough lately. Though they weren't struggling, they were deeply envious of the Thompson family's immense wealth back home and had finally returned, shamelessly.

As Frank and Bennett entered the small white house, they immediately sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere.

In the living room, Mr. Thompson Sr. sat on the sofa with an ashen face, gripping his cane, radiating a palpable tension.

Tobias Thompson and his son Noah sat to Mr. Thompson Sr.'s left, silent, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

Mrs. Thompson Sr. sat to his right, with Vanessa and Omar next to her. Mrs. Thompson Sr. was holding Vanessa's son, Robin Bishop, in her lap.

The six-year-old boy, at a restless and playful age, squirmed in Mrs. Thompson Sr.'s lap, chattering nonstop. Mrs. Thompson Sr. couldn't understand him, so she just offered him cakes and candies from the coffee table.

The boy ate, complaining that the candy wasn't as good as the kind from abroad, and after a few bites of a cake, he spat it out. He then wriggled out of Mrs. Thompson Sr.'s arms and ran back to his parents.

It was at that exact moment that Frank and Bennett walked in.

Frank's face fell the instant he saw Vanessa and her family.
