Gerard was wearing a white T–shirt. He held a Samsung flip phone in his right hand and wore a Vacheron Constantin’s watch of the latest model on his left hand.

“Gordon, you could afford a Santana worth 200 thousand dollars, but you couldn’t afford a better house?”

Maria Davidson, Gerard’s wife, asked.

heads off to university!” Gordon explained.

“Wait a minute. Why hasn’t Carlisle come out yet?”

“I do!”

Oh. Then, who am I? Gerard asked impassively.

“You’re Uncle Gerard!”

Maria also said mockingly, “Where did all those years of education go?”
