His son Liam just looked at his family when they were talking and making plans on how to carry favors
with the old people of the smith family in order to get the family fortune for themselves. He kept quiet
since he was also planning and thinking of ways to get the family fortune to be his.

Sandra on the other hand, her father took her and her mother round the house and showed everything
in it from their bedrooms to kitchen and garden. After he told them “well, we need to hire someone to
help us in taking care of our house. I don’t want you to continue living as savants even in our own
home”.
His wife Matilda said, “no, honey we don’t have that money to pay the workers, you’re not working right
now so we need to save money as much as possible”.
Andrew kissed his wife and said “you’re the biggest blessed God has ever given me, and I celebrate
the day we met, but don’t worry honey we can afford two workers, we have the money for that”.
“In fact tomorrow I want you and our daughter to go and get a car”. Matilda looked at him as if she’s
seeing a fool and said, “honey, you want to waste all the money you got from your family instead of
doing something that will make that money grow. We can’t afford this and we can do this, me and our
daughter will be taking a taxi and remember she’s getting married tomorrow we are not so sure if her
husband will allow her to stay in this house”.
“Unless her husband accepts to stay with us which may be impossible, they may need their privacy
which may help them to get to know each other better”. Sandra also said “Yes dad, we can’t waste
money like that, you know. We need to work hard and make our family better so instead of buying us a
car, why don’t we think of something that we can do with that money to earn more money”.
Andrew looked at his family and felt so proud that he shed some tears. He told his wife “well, honey, I’m
sorry there are something I kept from you because I wanted to protect you and our daughter, I wanted
you to live a better life without problems also because I didn’t trust my family.........”.
