The Bound Between Us

Chapter 773

Sandy was completely caught off guard. No matter how much she planned, she never expected Tavon to come back today.

She stood there, frozen, as Tavon walked up with his suitcase. "Sandy, why are you just standing there? Have you eaten yet? The food on the plane was awful, and I'm starving."

"Dad... Dad..." Sandy grabbed Tavon's arm, stopping him from going inside. If he went in, it would be all over.

Trying to keep her cool, Sandy said, "Dad, why are you back so suddenly? Weren't you supposed to be in Riverdale?"

"This is my home. Why wouldn't I come back?" Tavon found Sandy's reaction a bit strange. He was just coming home-what was the big deal?

"I visited Ana and the kids, and then I came back. If I didn't, your mom would bombard me with calls. I'm pretty much at your mercy now, living by the grace of you three. Do I have a choice not to come back?" Tavon's tone had a hint of self- mockery. He really was living on his family's goodwill now.

With that, Tavon tried to head inside again.

Sandy held on tight, saying, "Dad, the housekeeper's off today. We were just about to head out for dinner. Come on, I'll take you out."

She couldn't let Tavon step through that door.

Tavon insisted, "But first, let me put my luggage inside."
