"Little Gary, don't exaggerate." Miss Holland did not know if she should cry or laugh at the situation. "I know that you both are smart and good kids. You won't want to make your mommy and daddy upset, right? I know that the both of you are smart and can make Maria a good girl."
"No!" Gary shook her head. "I would rather eat dirt than see her."
"Little Gary, look, Maria just found her father and is in a good mood. You won't be pestered when you go back. She will pester her dad. You can take the opportunity to have a good rest. In this way, your mommy won't worry about you, and your Uncle Zachary won't be embarrassed, right?"
Gary rolled his eyes when he heard that. He felt that what Miss Holland said made some sense.
He turned to look at Ernest.
Ernest nodded his head and agreed that what Miss Holland said seemed to make sense.
They both looked at each other and without any argument, nodded their heads at the same time. Little Gary said, "Fine, Miss Holland. We will follow them back. We wouldn't have agreed if it wasn't for you." "Haha, thank you." Looking at the lovely children, Miss Holland smiled and said, "Go back and have a good rest."
Miss Holland took them to the door. The two little boys looked helpless when they saw Grace.
She was grateful to Miss Holland and said, "Thank you, Miss Holland!"
"Don't mention it."
Without Miss Holland's help, the two boys might not have even followed them back.
Very soon, they left the kindergarten.
Zachary carried Maria in his arms to the car. As they were about to enter the car, he walked towards the two boys and then asked, "Little Gary, Ernest, why did you ignore me just now?"
Ernest immediately said, "Uncle, we didn't hear you just now. My brother and I didn't have a good rest last night. We were feeling tired and our ears were ringing. I'm sorry."
Zachary looked at the little boy. He did look like he had not slept well and he indeed looked tired.
He then looked at Little Gary and asked, "Little Gary, what about you?"
"Uncle Zachary." He sighed and said, "We are all smart people. Why bother getting to the bottom of it? Isn't it better if I don't tell you?"
Zachary was surprised by his answer. He looked at Gary's haughty look and chuckled, "Is that all you have to say?
"Uncle Zachary, you can say whatever you want now since you're able to handle it but just wait for what is about to happen." Little Gary looked at Zachary sympathetically and then at Maria. He thought to himself that anyone had to deal with Maria, the little devil, their life would certainly be fun.
Zachary was once again surprised by how Gary was looking at him. He then looked at Heinz and Grace. Both of them were also looking at him sympathetically.
"Why do you say that?" He asked Little Gary.
Little Gary replied, "Uncle Zachary, you are now so overprotective of Maria. If I told you, you wouldn't be able to accept it. Let's just go back home. Congratulations on reuniting with Maria."
After that, he glanced at Maria, who was held in Zachary's arms with a frustrated and sad gaze.
She glared at them and pouted. Then, she complained, "Gary, Ernest, you both are so weak that you can't stay up the whole night. You're not as strong as me. If people were to know, they would laugh at you. You both are just too weak.
Next time, nobody would want to marry you both." "Ha!" Little Gary laughed and said, "If we find a wife like you, it would be better to be single."
"That's right!" Ernest said as he nodded his head.
"Dad, look, they are bullying me." Maria immediately pointed to Little Gary and Ernest and complained to Zachary, "They dislike me."
