The door opened.
Simon immediately turned and looked at the door.
He stopped his scoldings and curses, as well as his hysterical complaints.
At that moment, he was squinting at the direction of the door.
When he saw the two big build young men entering, he was a little stunned.
Their faces looked familiar, and their figures were tall and straight with a firm and steady temperament. The two young men looked really handsome, and they had vaguely familiar features.
One looked greatly similar to Heinz, while the other one looked a lot like Grace.
There were two of them.
A thought flashed in Simon's mind for a brief moment.
His vision was blurred, and he started to wonder if they were twins.
Were they their twins?
How ironic. It was their children. Back then, he and Marry wanted to separate the twins, but they were so lucky to be raised by their biological father, Heinz.
It seemed that they still reunited.
Then, he thought of his misfortune, and how he could never have any children in his life, yet Heinz's two children had already grown up.
He heard that they later gave birth to two more children.
It was another pair of twins.
They were really good at reproduction.
Simon thought about how Grace was so great at giving birth to her children. She should have been his woman, yet Heinz was the one who won her heart, and made her his woman. His unwillingness started to pain his heart.
It hurt so much. He was so unwilling to accept it, and the dull pain in his heart persisted and he could not let go of it.
What had Marry done to him? How did he end up together with Marry?
Grace was the one that he loved.
God was too unfair to him.
He could not accept his fate.
He was looking at the grown children then, the children that belonged to Grace and Heinz.
They looked excellent. They were both youthful, healthy and outstanding.
No, they weren't boys anymore.
They were already young men then.
He saw the two children who had become so determined then, from how they looked so innocent before. After a while, Simon felt upset once more.
Gary and Ernest walked into the room together, they saw Simon staring at them in a daze. Gary smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows, "Long time no see, Uncle Simon."
Simon frowned.
It felt like Gary was scolding him even when he called his name.
Ernest burst into laughter. "Gary, that's a funny way to call him. We don't even have an aunt, how could we have an uncle?"
"Oh my, don't say that. She has always been there. It's not like we don't have an aunt at all. We rarely get to see our uncle, but once we do, it's just disgusting." Gary's tone was obviously filled with mockery.
Simon frowned, he recalled that Gary had always had a sharp tongue. He was so eloquent with words that it was impossible for anyone to argue with him.
Back then, he had experienced Gary's way with words too. He was so great at mockery that he was able to anger him back when he was just a little boy.
As of then, the two brothers joined hands in mocking him, and they were still as strong as ever.
Uncle Simon?
