Sweet Twins

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 be more exact, the three of us should be ready to welcome the money tomorrow morning."

"You're right," Jill agreed.

Noticing the greed in Jill and Fannie's eyes, Clark felt disgusted. He realized how blind he had been in the past. He fell in love with such a snobbish woman like Jill.

How unlucky he was to have a daughter like Fannie whose only interest was based on money!

"Dad, what's wrong?" Fannie asked as she noticed Clark standing there stiffly.

"Uh...it's nothing." Clark returned to his senses hastily. "I was just thinking that what if Charles would give us twenty million. He is rich, isn't he?"
