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.

“We bought this house so that it’ll be easier for Carl to go to school. I intend to sell this house once Carl

heads off to university!” Gordon explained.

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

Maria waved her hands for some wind as she looked around the house. Then, she said in disgust, “Why didn’t you install an aircon? Aren’t you all being overly frugal?”

Gordon quickly brought out the standing fan from his bedroom. Meanwhile, Carlisle slowly made his way out of his room to pour them four glasses of water.

“I do!”

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

“You’re Uncle Gerard!”

“Then why didn’t you greet me and your aunt?” Gerard asked with a tinge of anger.

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