True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 553

Little Gary was shocked. Not only Little Gary, but Ernest was also a little surprised. His mouth gaped open as he looked at his mother. His big eyes blinked repeatedly as if he was frightened by his mother's suggestion.

Heinz was also taken aback. He didn't expect Grace to say that at all.

Grace glanced at her children apologetically. She had always felt really apologetic towards them.

"Here's the thing." She explained, "Both of you are in kindergarten now, and both your performances are very good. Besides, you are both quick learners so you should be able to catch up with your lessons in a few days."

"Mommy, are you asking us to go on a trip with you?" Little Gary asked in disbelief.

Grace saw the excitement in his eyes and nodded, "Firstly, well be sending great-grandma's ashes to Southland. Secondly, we can go on a family trip. I haven't been able to accompany the both of you for some time now. This week, it will be a special trip for us since our reunion."

Heinz's eyes turned a few shades darker.

He glanced at Grace, and then at his children.

Little Gary was obviously very excited as his eyes were filled with excitement.

It was the same for Ernest.

In fact, the two little ones had not gone on a trip before.

It was a good opportunity.

Of course, Heinz was willing to go on a family trip.

"Forget it," Little Gary refused suddenly.

Grace was flustered and frowned. "Little Gary, what's wrong?"

She clearly saw that he was really excited about the trip and wanted to go. Why did he decide to refuse out of a sudden?

"You are going there to bury great-grandma's ashes. If we went, it might be inconvenient for you."

Grace was taken aback and she shook her head. "What are you talking about? What inconvenience would you cause by going with us?"

"Come on, don't be so melodramatic." Heinz glanced at Grace and said, "He wants to go, but he's being melodramatic."

Little Gary's face flushed red. He looked at Heinz and his eyebrows were knitted tightly. "You are the one being melodramatic."

"I've always been melodramatic. You inherited my genes, thus you are naturally melodramatic as well," Heinz admitted openly. "You don't have to feel embarrassed."

Little Gary raised his eyebrows and he didn't know what to say.

Heinz made eye contact with him calmly as he said, "You are going on a trip with your parents and your own brother. What are you embarrassed about?" "I'm afraid that Mommy would be too tired." Little Gary paused for a while before he continued, "I don't want to be a burden."

Grace's heart skipped a beat. Gary was too mature for his age.

She couldn't bear to let her children suffer.

"You won't be a burden." Heinz said, "If you go, your Mommy will have you by her side. She will feel more assured. Anyway, we'll also be bringing more bodyguards. As long as the both of you are aware of your surroundings, then we'll all be fine."

"Then, can I say that..." Ernest looked at his parents and asked shyly, "Can I say that I want to go?"

"Of course you can." Grace nodded immediately. "I want to bring you there."

Heinz nodded as well. "Good job, Ernest."

Then, everyone turned their eyes to Little Gary and waited for his answer.

A complicated expression flashed across his face before he said, "Alright, then I'll go too."

Heinz walked over and took him into his arms. "You did the right thing, kid. Stop being embarrassed. Aren't you a man?"

"No." Little Gary answered lightly, "I am still a boy. You are a man."

Heinz was flustered and chuckled. He was about to say something, but Little Gary's words left him speechless.

"However, it is not true that every father is a true man. Some men are just pretty faces, and they are not who they seem to be. Some are just good-for-nothings."

"Are you saying that I'm just a pretty face?" Heinz retorted.
