Grace was stunned by her son's words and immediately stopped him. "Honey, don't be rude."
"I know, mommy." Gary curled his lips and muttered in his heart. "But uncle was the one being rude at first?"
The uncle's eyes were still glued to his mommy, Gary thought.
How could a man with a wife be so impolite to stare at other women this way?
Gary pouted and said, "Mommy, I learned an idiom in kindergarten today. Do you want to hear it?"
Grace was stunned. Looking the child’s serious expression, she clearly felt something wrong in her heart, but she still couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Well, uncle, you should also listen to me and see if I’m learning it right." Gary said seriously, "The sentence is called 'don’t tie your shoelaces in a melon patch'. I think that the ancients are so talented. Such few and simple words can express profound meaning."
Grace was completely stunned.
Grace couldn't understand why her son was so hostile to Simon, given this was the first time they are meeting.
Gary actually reminded Simon to avoid creating suspicion. This child was beating around the bush but also talking about the most obvious facts.
Simon's face darkened, and he was a little embarrassed. The child's words seemed to have hit him squarely.
Moreover, Simon was surprised that a child, who was only five years old, could be so powerful. He was instantly embarrassed.
"Honey, you've learned well. You're trying to avoid arousing suspicion." Grace had no choice but to reply, "Mommy understands."
Grace also hoped that Simon could understand that he was her brother- in- law and the child's reminder was right.
Simon's face grew stiff. He looked at Gary and clenched his fists. Gary’ s expression was impassive.
Simon looked at Gary and said, "You have grown up. You were still a little one when I last saw you."
"Have you seen me before?" Gary asked.
