"How do you know that your mommy doesn't like me?" Heinz asked. He didn't like that statement.
"Isn't it obvious?" Little Gary retorted.
"Oh, I don't think so," Heinz was very certain. He said firmly, "Your mommy has feelings for me."
Little Gary was stunned. His lips twitched. Obviously, he did not believe it. He scoffed and said, "Stop lying to yourself. My mommy doesn't even want to talk to you."
Heinz was startled by his son's words and felt a little embarrassed. But soon, he laughed and said, "Your mommy is just like you. All she says are empty words. Although she doesn't talk to me, do you know how she feels in her heart? Do you really know?"
The little one was taken aback and began doubting himself. He thought in his heart, "Could it be that my mommy has a side that I've never seen?"
At this thought, Gary was very suspicious of her.
Heinz continued, "Your mommy is too headstrong. Before this, I didn't have many interactions with women so I don't really understand how they think. Now, however, I know a lot about them. I will get along well with your mommy. Just you wait and see."
Hearing Heinz's words, Gary frowned again and asked, "Are you going to marry my mommy?"
"Yes." Heinz replied frankly, "Your mommy will be my
wife. After all, a family should be together."
Little Gary thought for a moment and said, "Although this is what I want, if my mommy really doesn't like you, you'd better not force her."
"Son," Heinz was a little touched and reached out his hand to hold his little shoulder. "Thank you for your kind thoughts. I will try my best."
"Do whatever you like," Little Gary shrugged as he did not have many requests anyway. He said, "I only want my mommy to be happy for the rest of her life."
"Don't worry," Heinz promised, clasping Gary's shoulders with his hands. He was moved by his words. "Good boy, I'll bring happiness to the both of you."
"I hope so," Gary looked at him. Then, he said, "I will go and see what Mommy and Uncle Henley are talking about."
With that, he made his way to the door.
Heinz was stunned and said, "Aren't you afraid that your mommy will worry about you?"
"Aren't you afraid that my mommy will be taken away by Uncle Henley?" The little one raised his eyebrows and rebuked.
At that moment, the father-son duo shared the same purpose -- they didn't want Grace to end up with Tyler.
Heinz quirked his eyebrows and said, "If you go now, your mommy will be angry. But if you don't go, I'll be worried." "Then, you must think of a way," Little Gary said as he frowned upon hearing him. "I don't know what Mommy is thinking, but Uncle Henley is very good to Mommy. Aside from the fact that he is not my father, he is flawless."
Heinz smiled and pointed at himself, asking, "What about me?"
"You?" Little Gary knitted his eyebrows. He bluntly replied, "You are nothing but my father."
Heinz was momentarily speechless at his comment. He said helplessly, "Am I such a bad person in your mind?"
"Are you a good person?" Little Gary asked in return. He told Heinz, "In my heart, you are nothing at all. You've wronged me, my mommy, and your ancestors. You didn't even know that you have a child. Why would you even ask that?"
Heinz was once again scorned by his son. His eyes twitched helplessly.
Only Gary was able to comment on his actions. If it were anyone else, Heinz would not let it slide so easily.
"Get out of my way." Little Gary then said, "I'll do it."
Flabbergasted, Heinz thought to himself, "Am I really that useless?"
Little Gary quickly walked out.
When he came out, he saw that there was still no one in the living room.
Gary put his hands on his hips and looked at the closed door. His big eyes were shining. He paced around a few times before walking forward. Then, he knocked on the door.
"Knock knock-”
There were two knocks on the door.
When the door opened, Tyler stood at the entrance and saw that the little one was looking at him.
With a flash of light in his eyes, Tyler smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Little Gary?"
"Uncle Henley, do you need me to help you pack your things?" Little Gary asked. He did not forget to look inside the room.
He saw his mother getting up from the floor to walk to the door.
"There's no need for that, Little Gary," Tyler said. "I'm almost done."
