The tiger’s mother wandered over, her belly full, ears flicking at the sound of Richard’s voice.

She gave him a slow, unimpressed stare, her big golden eyes practically saying. Seriously? Calling a tiger a kitten?

Yvonne stood up, realizing she was about the same height as the little cub. The cub tilted its head at her, looking curious. She blinked, then tilted her head the same way.

Richard chuckled at how in sync they were. Squatting down beside her, he asked gently, “So, Yvonne, what do you think? Do you like this kitten?”

“I do,” she said right away.

His smile widened. “Then how about I give it to you? Can you take care of it?”

“Um… Yvonne hesitated, glancing up at him. She shifted on her feet, then muttered, “Dad already works really hard to take care of me.”

She stole another look at the tiger cub, her little face full of reluctance. “I already have a puppy… I don’t think it’s fair to ask for another pet.”

Richard almost groaned. What? No, no, no. I’ve finally found a successor, and she is hesitating because of money?

Money was nothing.

“Yvonne, don’t worry about that,” he said, pulling out his phone. “I’ll send your dad some money right now.”

He tapped the screen a few times, then held it up proudly, as if showing her a magic trick, not that she understood any of it.

There. Now your dad has plenty of money. He could raise a hundred of these if he wanted,” he said.

Yvonne wasn’t entirely sure what had just happened, but she did know Richard had sent her dad money. That was enough to make her happy. “Thanks, Grandpa! You’re the best!”

Richard pressed his lips together, clearly pleased with himself. This little girl was too easy to win over.
