Fannie took the coffee cup from Clark and put it under her nose. She was a little suspicious of Clark's sudden generosity. She didn't want to take any risk. So smelled the coffee before sipping and squinted her eyes. The smell seemed legit to her. "Oh, this coffee smells wonderful, Dad. Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me, Fannie. It's fine." Clark took a quick look at the coffee before saying, "Fannie, drink the coffee quickly before it gets cold. It won't taste good if it's cold."
"Yeah, right." Fannie didn't hesitate anymore and drank the coffee without thinking too much.
"If you want some more, I can make it for you." Clark was delighted seeing Jill and her daughter drink the coffee without a fuss.
"No. It's enough for the night. We're going to bed now." Fannie yawned.
"That's right. Clark. You should go to bed too and take rest. Charles might come to our house tomorrow morning. So, let's get a good sleep before we welcome him," Jill said.
Fannie let out a giggle and said proudly, "To
learns about it, what would you do?" Fannie asked, looking at the door vigilantly.
Jill snorted and waved her hand dismissively. "Even if he knows it, what he can do? If he had the ability, I wouldn't have gone out looking for other men. If he couldn't do it, then he'd just have to endure it."
"Mom, you're smart. I should take lessons from you. I won't let Caspar bully me. I don't even know if he is dead or alive in jail," said Fannie.
Caspar couldn't be associated with the term of husband. He was more like her enemy.
"You'd better divorce him as soon as possible and look for a rich husband like Charles when you are young," Jill suggested.
Fannie's eyes suddenly widened as she exclaimed, "Mom, I almost forget. Do you still remember Joseph? He's Charles' cousin. I heard that he has recently divorced with Daisy and is shooting now. It seems that he is really popular among young girls."
"Why are you suddenly talking about him? Do you have a crush on him?" Jill asked with a hint of excitement.
