Chapter 9

My phone rang, it was Robert, my younger brother.

“How did you get this number?”

“That is how you talk to your only brother?” he said with a chuckle. “I got it from Mr. Langford.”

“So, what is it you want Robert?”

“Geez Henry, I was calling to find out the best way to handle the money from the estate. I opened a separate bank account for it, remembering how you told me if I ever won the Lottery to do that.”

“How much of an interest is it making?” I asked backing off my attitude.

“Only 1.1125%,” he answered.

“Can you live off the interest of $2,269,127 a year?” I asked.

“My brother, the human calculator,” he said. “Our house is only three bedrooms, and I have three boys, so Wendy and I thought of finding and moving into a bigger place. Would you recommend buying a house for cash or carrying?”

“That would depend on how expensive a home you find. If this day and age, carrying isn’t as big a deal as it used to be.”

I went on to explain some of the nuances of buying in the current house market. He gave me a big thanks, and I told him he would be receiving an invoice for the advice.

Right after that conversation I called Mr. Langford and gave him a light dressing down for giving out my phone number.

After hearing an apology, I told him I would be changing it, and informing him to not pass it on to anyone, unless I preapprove.

After that, I had a short dialogue with Mary about giving out phone numbers. She agreed, and we were naked and fucking this time with me on top.

Being the middle of the day, we were quiet which made it even more enlightening. I felt her wordless orgasm and filled her with a very large batch of Noble Seed, or should I call it THE SEED OF NOBEL!

While still in Chicago, I called Linda asking if we could drop in and talk? Mary wanted someone to talk to, and her older, divorced sister was her first choice.

Linda Merritt-Noble lives in ‘Watch City’ or Elgin, Illinois, only 40 miles from our hotel. Mary knew the address and was my navigatress to her home.

We arrived, and they hugged and hugged until I was noticed then I was hugged. She looked very nice and walked us into her home. We were expecting the sounds of her twin nine-year-old daughters, but she told us that Jeff won sole custody in the divorce.

Linda explained it all without much emotion, until she noticed the ring on Mary’s finger.

I had told her to take it off in the car, but she didn’t. Her older sister looked back and forth at us for a long moment, then she started the hugs all over again. “I thought I saw something between you two. Are you pregnant yet Lu ... Mary?”

My girl grinned and lightly blushed, before I said, “We have some things to accomplish before we do that, Sis. Are you staying in this big home all by yourself?”

“I don’t know, Henry. Where are you two shacked up, anyway?”

Mary gave her a light slap over that remark, saying, “We have a huge place in Nashville. Come live with us for as long as you want, please?”

“I wouldn’t want to inconvenience the two of you,” she responded looking at me.

“It wouldn’t be an inconvenience,” I said. “The place really is huge.”
