True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1078

"You're right," Timothy spoke as he reflected on his carelessness. "What you said is true. I know you're just worried about your mother. You're a good son."

"I guess you can say that," Little Gary replied, not sounding modest at all. He clearly understood himself. "I don't see myself as one. To you adults, only children who are obedient and won't talk back to you are considered good. I'm obviously not that."

"Oh? You don't believe you can be?" Timothy said.

"That's not it," Little Gary shook his head. "I'm just well aware. You don't have to encourage or praise me for just being who I am. I won't treat you better just because you praise me a little here and there. I have my principles."

Little Gary didn't forget his original plan to help his Mommy get to the bottom of this.

"Well..." Timothy was very content. He didn't let himself feel much over the fact that a child was blaming him. He could sense the child's sincere concern for Grace. He also knew that this child was astonishingly smart. "It's good to be a man with principles." "Anyway, I can't bring myself to treat you or Heinz well," Little Gary said. "The two of you are at fault, after all. You can refute by saying you had difficulties and unspeakable reasons, but I still stand by my opinion that the two of you aren't really good fathers."

Little Gary was surprised to see that Timothy's expression remained apologetic after he had spoken. Why wasn't he mad at him for the insults?

"I know. I get what you mean," Timothy said. "About your mother's hospitalization... I've been feeling really guilty and sorry about that. But you're still young, there are still many things between the adults that you won't really understand until you're much older."

"I understand everything. Your wife must've been worried that Mommy's presence might tip the balance of your family. That's why she wanted to poison her," Little Gary said distastefully. "She's so cruel. How are you planning to punish her for being so heartless?"

Timothy stared at him in astonishment.

Assuming that Timothy's silence meant that he was not willing to punish Quinn, he added, "If you don't have the heart to do so, I'm more than willing."

Timothy was taken aback. "You'll what?"

"Yes, I'll punish her myself." Little Gary affirmed. "Don't think I'm incapable just because I'm young."

"That's not it," Timothy said. "Little Gary, I've divorced her and she's turned herself in to the authorities. She actually went to the police herself."

"Turned herself in?" Little Gary was very surprised and asked suspiciously, "Why would she turn herself in so suddenly?"

"That's between us adults. I hope you won't get involved anymore because you don't know the full story. You're not fit to judge the situation properly. I know you're very smart, but we don't want to have you involved if we can help it." Timothy said.

Little Gary looked at Timothy for a moment before he suddenly jumped down from the sofa and approached Timothy. "When did you divorce her?" "This morning," Timothy answered.

Little Gary shrugged and said, "It seems that you've only decided to divorce her after you found out, is that right?"

Timothy nodded, not concealing the truth. "Yes. To tell you the truth, I was very angry when I found out." "So, you chose to punish her with divorce?" Little

Gary asked.

Timothy looked into Little Gary's eyes and then turned to look at Ernest and Lowell, who had been staring back at him wordlessly. Obviously, they were all on Little Gary's side.

The three little boys were frowning in unison. It appeared that they were extremely dissatisfied with Timothy's decision.

He shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry that this happened."

"I can tell," Little Gary replied. "You've been apologising to us since you stepped into the house. You blame yourself for the incident. It appears to me that you seem genuinely sincere about this."

Timothy felt his heart prickle sourly. He looked even more desolate now.
