Chapter 263 An 'Accidental' Death for Fannie
Charles seemed to sense the danger and suddenly turned around, catching Hunter's outstretched hand in his sharp gaze, and asking warily, "What are you doing?"
Hunter, unruffled, rubbed the top of his head. "I was just wondering if you wanted some ice cream."
Charles obviously didn't believe him and pressed furtherasked, "Why reach out when you're just asking a question?"
For a moment, he thought Hunter was about to push him and Fannie into the sea.
Hunter still didn't show any showed no sign of guilt, his eyes devoid of any self-reproach,. "I was about to pat you on the shoulder!. But you turned around before I could touch you."
Charles furrowed his brow, clearly not entirely convinced.
But then he thought maybe he was overreacting.
They had come out with Hunter to watch the sunset; their mommy knew about it. If anything happened to him and Fannie, Hunter would definitely be implicated.
Even if Hunter were foolish, he wouldn't actually push them.
With that thought, his guard dropped.
Fannie, a little foodie, perked up at the mention of food, nodding eagerly,. "Yes, I want some, I love ice cream!. But, won't it melt on the way here?"
Hunter grinned,. "There are ways to keep it chilled. What flavors do you like?"
Without hesitation, Fannie replied, "Strawberry and vanilla are my favorites. MelonThe melon flavor is next. My brother likes plain and chocolate."
Hunter nodded,. "Got it. You two wait here,. I'll have Jake go buy some."
"Thank you, Hunter," Fannie thanked him sincerely.
IfThey might be friends if Hunter wasn't competing with her daddy for her mom, they might actually be friends.
mommy. She did like him, after all.
But no matter how much she liked him, he wasn't as important as her daddy.
Hunter gently ruffled her hair and turned to leave.
As he turned, the smile on his face vanished without a trace, his expression turning cold and somber.
In no time, Jake returned with the ice cream.
To prevent it from melting, heHe had bought two of each flavor to prevent it from melting and wrapped them in several ice bags.
"Thanks, Hunter."
After thanking himHunter, Fannie quickly picked up a strawberry ice cream and began to enjoyenjoyed it.
After finishing one, she immediately reached for another.
Before she knew it, three cups were gone.
As she reached for the fourth, Charles stopped her,. "Enough!. Mom always said, even the tastiest food should not be eaten in excess. You've already had three cups, no more."
Fannie looked longingly at the remaining ice cream cups, swallowing hard.
"But... but I'm not done enjoying myself!. Since autumn, I haven't had ice cream, and now that we're here, of course, I want to eat my fill."
Charles, withWith a stern face, Charles warned,. "If you want to end up in the hospital, keep eating."
Seeing her usually indulgent brother angry, Fannie wilted, looking at the ice cream while stammering,. "But... but it might not lead to the hospital, right?"
Charles tucked the ice cream behind him.
"If you behave, I'll buy you two every day for the next few days. If not, forget about it for a while. Which do you choose?"
Fannie pouted.
"That's not really a choice."
Charles, ignoringIgnoring her grumbles, Charles raised an eyebrow with thean older brother's authority of an older brother,. "So, what's it going to be?"
Reluctantly, Fannie agreed,. "Obviously, I'll choose one!. I'm not stupid."
"Good!"." Charles nodded in satisfaction and handed Hunter the rest of the ice cream to Hunter,. "Hunter, you and Uncle Jake can have the rest. We're young,; Mom said we shouldn't have too much in one day."
Hunter didn't say much, simply smiling as he took the remaining ice cream and went to find Jake.
Fannie reluctantly licked the last bits of ice cream from her cup.
Just then, Charles excitedly tapped her shoulder,. "Fannie, look quickly, it's so beautiful..."
Fannie looked up.
The fiery sun was slowly setting at the sea's edge of the sea, its afterglow turning the waters a brilliant red, like the shimmering scales of goldfish,. It was a splendid sight.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, a vast expanse of fiery red clouds appeared, dazzling and ever-changing, before gradually fading into the darkening sky.
Charles and Fannie were mesmerized.
Especially, but Fannie, who especially so, as she had never seen such a beautiful sunset,. She excitedly patted Charles's shoulder.
"Brother, it's so beautiful, really beautiful. No wonder everyone likes to come here to watch the sunset... I want to come again tomorrow..."
She was too young to know their own strength.
Charles's shoulder hurt from her patsting, but she was oblivious.
At first, Charles didn't want to dampen her spirits and didn't push her away.
But as she kept patting harder, he twisted her hand away,. "If you're excited, slap your own thigh, not me,. iIt hurts..." !"
Fannie excitedly twisted her little body,. "But it's so beautiful... I'm so happy, I couldn't help it..."
Charles looked at her, his eyes as tender as if they could drip water.
"Then we'll come again tomorrow."
Fannie nodded vigorously,. "Okay!" ."
The two were so taken by the beauty of the sunset that they sat for a long time, only reluctantly returning to the hotel with Hunter after the sun had completely disappeared and darkness fell. Back at the hotel, Fannie excitedly recounted the beautiful scene to Patricia. "Mommy, it's such a pity you didn't go. The sunset was so beautiful. Brother said we'll watch it again tomorrow. Will you come with us? It's a waste not to see it when we're here."
Back at the hotel, Fannie excitedly recounted the beautiful scene to Patricia.
"Mommy, it's such a pity you didn't go, the sunset was so beautiful. Brother said we'll go watch it again tomorrow, will you come with us? It's such a waste not to see it when we're here!"
Patricia couldn't bear to refuse her, smiling and nodding. She nodded in agreement, playfully asking, "Do you still like Hunter now?"
Fannie's cheeks flushed,. "I don't dislike him,. I just don't likewant him as a dadmy daddy. If he wasn't trying to be my daddy, I could be friends with him."
Her answer made Patricia sigh inwardly.
It seems it would take some time for Fannie to accept Hunter.
But Hunter didn't care much.
After all, Fannie couldn't oppose him for long.
This time, she wouldn't live to return to Ivara City.
Dinner was served by theThe hotel staff served dinner in their room.
After dinner, Hunter went back to his room.
Patricia, Charles, and Fannie all slept in one room.
That night, there was a knock on Hunter's door.
Jake handed him some documents,. "Mr. Miller, here are the investigation results you asked for. The day after tomorrow, there will be a category five typhoon."
"A category five typhoon?" Hunter's eyes narrowed, a hint of malice showing.
If something 'accidental' happened to Fannie at sea, it wouldn't be connected to him.
Yes!
This is, this was perfect.
A—a silent plan that would clear him completely.
