There was a tacit understanding between them.
“We can talk about it another day if you are in a bad mood,” Erica said.
“Is $10, 000 enough?" Gifford asked, ignoring what she said.
“Hmm. Would that be really enough?"
Gifford knew his sister too well.
"$20, 000! No more!"
"You know, Brother, if I get into a bad mood, you might end up in a bad place as well." Erica's eyes twinkled with mischief.
It was a threat. ‘This little witch..' Gifford gritted his teeth and finally said, "$50, 000!"
"Deal!" She Laughed in triumph.
Grunting, Gifford took his cellphone out of his pocket and transferred the money to her.
“You didn't come here to visit your brother out of love. You just wanted the money!"
Wesley was stricter with Erica than to his other kids. He had set a limit on her monthly allowance. But every month, she would run out of money before the end of that month. And she would either go to Yvette or Gifford for help.
Erica didn't know about it, but everyone, including Wesley, was aware of her little tricks.
So, Wesley would find ways to make up with the disparity in Gifford's and Yvette's accounts every month.
Gifford wasn't married and had no other expenses. So, he was willing to give his money to Erica without taking the compensatory money Wesley offered to give him.
Yvette, on the other hand, was a different case. She was a college student, and university was expensive. But even so, every time Erica asked her for money, she would give it. And unlike Gifford, when Wesley gave her money, she would take it without hesitation.
“Brother, you are the best! Oh and, don't tell Dad," Erica warned
Gifford with a stern look.
“Have I ever?" Gifford asked, as he raised a brow at her and said in his head, ‘He already knows, dumbass!‘ Erica still thought that she was fooling their father. She was forgetting that her father was the famous
Wesley.
ALL Erica cared about was that her brother never snitched on her, because Wesley had never questioned her about taking money from her brother and sister.
She held his arm tight, fawning on him.
"It's so good to have such
Loving siblings!"
"Oh, knock it off. Where does all this love go when you try to trick us?" Gifford was always being set up by this little devil of a sister.
