As soon as the little fellow spoke, everyone looked at him.
Grace had wanted to stop him several times, but she knew in her heart that Gary was protecting her and Ernest.
He didn't like to see his mother being questioned. Children would often notice if someone was being impolite to their mother.
It was even more so for Gary, who was a sensitive child.
Grace was moved by her son's intentions to protect her. Although she opened her mouth, she didn't say anything.
Heinz smiled and agreed with his son very much. "My son is right."
Mrs. Hudson was not angry. There was a smile on her face as she looked at Little Gary. She insisted on the question she had asked earlier. "Are you two really twins?"
Little Gary looked at Mrs. Hudson and said, "Grandma, you've been asking us if we're twins. Why does it matter?"
Mrs. Hudson was taken aback. She turned her gaze from Little Gary to Ernest. Her mixed feelings were clearly shown on her face. "I'm just curious. After all, you two look alike."
"Well, we have the same father so it's only natural for us to look alike. I've already told you just now," Little Gary said lightly. "It doesn't make any sense to tell you if we are twins or not. Both me and Ernest are separate people. We're brothers."
Ernest, who had been very quiet the whole time, suddenly began to speak, "Gary, Mrs. Hudson has been asking if we are twins. I think she has her reasons."
"I think she just wants to remind our mommy." Little Gary looked into Ernest's eyes. He was very intelligent and had made an acute judgment. "Or perhaps, she thinks that our mommy is not compatible with Heinz. Maybe she thinks that this aunt who only knows how to cry is compatible with him. However, she can't say that out loud. Am I right, Mrs. Hudson?"
No matter how calm Mrs. Hudson tried to be, she began to feel irritated by the two children.
What the hell just happened?
The two children were as cunning as elves.
Hearing what Little Gary said, the mood in the living room worsened.
Old Master Carter picked up his cup of tea and remained silent.
Mrs. Hudson looked at him and said, "William, they're really smart."
"Old lady, they're just children. There's no need for you to take it to heart," Old Master Carter finally spoke.
Mrs. Hudson didn't seem angry; she looked calm. "Yes, it's just a joke. Of course, I won't take it seriously."
"Serve the tea," William ordered the butler.
"Yes, sir!" The butler said.
The butler quickly served Mrs. Hudson and Claris with cups of tea.
"William, we can't take a child's words seriously. However, you're an adult, should we take what you said seriously?" Mrs. Hudson looked at Old Master Carter, her gaze not blinking for a second.
The corner of his lips curled into a smile as a thought suddenly entered his mind. "Old lady, I've said a lot. I wonder what you're referring to?"
"What else can it be?" Mrs. Hudson asked. "Of course it's the marriage of our grandchildren."
William was stunned for a moment. He knew that it would not be easy to resolve the matter.
Hearing that, Claris was filled with vigor all of a sudden. Her red, teary eyes lit up.
On the contrary, when Grace heard it, her shining eyes drooped. It seemed that they had really wanted Heinz and Claris to be together.
Thanks to her, that marriage could happen.
Alas.
Claris was truly pitiful.
However, although Grace sympathized with her, she was not sorry.
