Grace's hands were stuffed with her son's savings. However, it felt really unique in her hands. Instead of cash, these were cards, but they were not ordinary cards.
Grace was extremely astonished as she glanced at the things in her hands. She then shifted her gaze towards Ernest.
The little kid's face was filled with excitement. His big eyes were even more adorable as he had just cried.
He said to Grace eagerly, "Mommy, this is the money that I have saved over these years. Daddy gave this one to me. I don't know how much there is in this bank card, but I haven't used it anyway. This was given to me by Great-grandpa. You see, there are plenty of these. I would receive it every year."
Grace was in a state of shock and she glanced at Heinz. He seemed to be gratified too.
"I have indeed given these to Ernest, and Grandpa gave these to him as well. He doesn't really need it, but we usually prepare it in advance."
"Daddy, how much money do these contain?" Ernest asked.
Heinz thought for a moment and said, "I will save two million dollars here every year until the day he turns eighteen, then he can use it to start his own business."
"There are five cards here," Ernest spread out his fingers to count them. "So, it would be ten million, right?"
"Yes," Heinz nodded.
Grace was stumped. This guy was such a big spender. Although two million dollars was considered nothing to Heinz, it was considered a king's ransom to ordinary people.
"Daddy," Ernest rolled his eyeballs and looked at Heinz, saying, "You used to give these to me only, but now that you know about my brother's existence, shouldn't you prepare the same five cards for my brother?"
When Heinz heard this, he immediately nodded. "Of course. You are right. I should prepare five more cards for your brother."
"Then, it'll be twenty million!" Ernest exclaimed, "Mommy, I'll give you everything I have, and Gary will definitely give you his share. Then, you will be a rich woman with twenty million dollars."
Heinz sneered, "Kid, you are using my money to play the good person!"
"Daddy, you've promised to give it to me. Do you want to be a villain and go back on your words?" Ernest was annoyed.
These were supposed to be for his mother. The kid even thought of using his brother's share by getting it from his father.
Ernest looked at Heinz instantly and said, "Daddy, you have a lot of money. Quickly give Mommy some money so that she doesn't need to work so hard." Grace shook her head the moment she heard this, "Ernest, there's no need for that. Mommy doesn't want Daddy's or your savings."
"But why, Mommy?" Ernest was surprised.
Heinz glanced at Grace abruptly and frowned, "It's fine if you don't want to take their money, but why don't you want my money either?"
As a man, it was only proper for him to take care of his woman well.
However, he felt upset when Grace refused. The man's bad habits were starting to haunt him again. He frowned at Grace.
Grace faced Heinz and replied calmly, "You've already provided us a good place to live and a good life for the children. There's no need for me to use the money."
Heinz suddenly stood up.
Both Grace and Ernest were startled.
Heinz turned around and left. Grace was unsure of what he was planning to do thus she shouted, "Hey, what are you going to do?"
Heinz replied to her with his silence.
"Dad is angry," Ernest said.
Grace hesitated for a while.
"He's overreacting again," she thought.
Heinz did seem a little unhappy.
However, she didn't know what she had done to make him unhappy.
Heinz returned in a flash.
He held a box, and he handed it over to Grace, "These are my supplementary cards!"
Grace was shocked.
"There are some emergency funds in it," Heinz explained. "I'm giving these to you now."
Grace was dumbstruck at once.
Both the father and son had given her their cards that day. How could she accept them? She felt uneasy the moment she saw the cards.
Grace remained speechless as she sat there nervously.
