S21 39. Half a Billion

“I am alright. Your grandfather inherited a lot of stock, Frank. The dividend I received was small compared to the number of shares, but it was very large for me. That’s enough to help Mr. Harris’ company, even if there’s still some left.” Kara nodded, reassuring.

Frank turned somber. While straightening up, he pulled Kara and embraced her. “I’m bothering you again,” he grumbled like a child.

Sighing with laughter, Kara stroked Frank’s hair. “I’m actually proud to be able to help you and your family.”

Frank placed his chin on Kara’s chest. Through the upper corners of his eyes, he expressed love. “Thank you very much, Kara. After my savings are filled again, you can buy anything. I’ll treat you.”

“You say so on the ordinary day. How is it different now?”

Frank snorted a smile. “Of course it’s different. It’s a special treat without limits. Whether you want to buy a rocket or a cruise ship, I will make it happen.

Kara’s laugh was light in air. While nodding, she rubbed her husband’s temples. “Well, I will look forward to that day. Now, let’s settle things. with your mother and stepfather.”

Frank nodded. When Melanie and Paul came back in, he greeted them with a brighter face. “Kara and I have decided.”

Paul widened his eyes, waiting with pounding heart. Meanwhile, Melanie didn’t dare breathe, thinking that Kara had instigated Frank.

“We will help you.”

Paul took a quick breath, while Melanie gasped. She shifted his gaze. Kara’s smile wasn’t forced at all.

“Why do you ask as if you don’t believe it? Don’t make your son change his mind.” Paul elbowed her arm.

Frank smiled faintly. “Yes. We can do the transaction tomorrow.

Please come to our office at ten o’clock, Mr. Harris.”
