True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 395

Grace found it both funny and annoying after being reminded by a child. She could only look at her son helplessly.

"It's true, Mommy. You need to think about it carefully. He's taking you for granted. He doesn't care about you," Little Gary reminded Grace angrily.

Suddenly, Grace blushed.

Cold sweat was creeping onto Heinz's forehead too. This little boy was horrible. He even encouraged Grace to break up with him. Was that the intention of the boy?

Heinz's eyes flashed. It seemed like Little Gary was finding fault or he offended the little fellow unknowingly again.

He picked up Gary and put some distance between Grace.

The father and son stared at each other. He whispered, "Boy, what's wrong? Weren't everything fine previously? Why are you stabbing me in the back suddenly?"

"Hmph!" the little one snorted and his tone was disdainful. It was obvious that he had something on his mind.

"Tell me," Heinz instructed in a deep voice, "Don't play dumb with me. How can I solve your problem if I don't know what you're thinking about?"

Judging from the little one's behavior, he must be a little upset.

On the other hand, Grace was a little confused as she stared at the father and son, who were a few steps away from her.

She held Ernest's hand and asked softly, "Ernest, was Little Gary unhappy when he stayed with you for the past two days?"

A flicker of hesitation flashed across Ernest's little face.

It immediately dawned on Grace that Ernest knew something. She asked, "What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"

"Little Gary didn't say anything," Ernest whispered, "But I saw him sighing several times when he noticed my living condition."

"Sighing?" Grace was surprised and she asked, "Why?"

"Aunt Grace, he probably felt that you've suffered a lot of hardship when taking care of him. He felt sorry for you and Aunt Alice for working so hard to take care of him," Ernest explained in a low voice, "He didn't say it but I think that he has some bones to pick with Dad and he blames Dad for not knowing his existence."

Grace understood instantly.

Ernest was a very smart child. Everything he said was completely based on his own observation.

Little Gary was trying to seek revenge for her but in fact, it was all her own choice.

Grace's heart softened and she felt a little uncomfortable. She felt sorry for her son.

She raised her head to stare at the father and son, who looked very much alike, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Ernest stared at Grace and held her hand.

"Huh?" Grace immediately turned to Ernest.

"Auntie," Ernest whispered, "Little Gary is very afraid that dad will not treat you well.¹'

Grace was surprised again. She repeated, "Very afraid?"

"Yes." Ernest nodded and explained, "He said that he will take you somewhere no one can find if dad breaks your heart. He said he'll take me with him too so that dad can't find us."

"Oh my god!" Grace exclaimed. What was that child thinking?

Ernest pouted and said tentatively, "Auntie, I don't want that to happen either. So can you work together with dad?"

Grace's heart was conflicted. She muttered, "Work hard together?"

"Yeah, let's work together and make dad treat you better." Ernest voiced out his expectations, "We'll be happy if Daddy treats you well. We are a family and we will be together forever."

"A family?" Grace murmured again.

Indeed, that was a wonderful word.

She bent down and held Ernest in her arms. She promised softly, "Alright, Ernest, I will work hard. I really want to be with you and I wish that I have a son like you too."
