Heinz felt as if he had fallen into a pit that was dug by his sons. These little guys were brilliant. They could see and analyze everything.
"Little Gary, Ernest, return to your rooms and go to sleep." He could not tell the children about this matter. He couldn't tell them that he was married and had been played by others for so many years.
"Go to sleep? Heinz, you are too unreasonable. You didn't tell us anything. Do you think we can fall asleep?"
"Be obedient!" Heinz instructed. "I’m exhausted."
"I'm tired too." Little Gary said bluntly, "Heinz, I feel so frustrated when I talk to you. Are you a man?"
Heinz's brows furrowed. "If I'm not a man, how can I have the two of you with your mommy?"
"You look like a man, but you don't act like one." Little Gary sighed. "Tell me quickly. What's going on? If you break up with Mommy, I won't pester you anymore. I'll bring Ernest and go to Mommy immediately. We won't delay you looking for another woman."
Upon hearing this, Heinz was furious.
He looked at his son and said, "Am I such a person in your heart? That I would find another woman?"
"Who do you think you are?" Little Gary answered. "You can even disappoint a woman who has no demands like Mommy, and you dare to say that you won’t find another woman. I guess that you're just an uncouth man and who knows how to betray Mommy?"
"When did I let your mommy down?" Heinz rebuked.
"You must have broken up with Mommy." Little Gary stared into Heinz's eyes, which were even sharper. "Ernest, turn on the lights and let's see what he's talking about."
"Yes, Gary!" Like a little attendant, Ernest made up his mind. He and his brother were going to get the truth from their father's mouth that day.
"Clatter!" The light was turned on.
The bright light was shining down and Heinz subconsciously frowned.
"Under the bright light, everything will be exposed." Little Gary looked at Heinz and commanded, "Tell me, did you break up with
Mommy?"
Heinz looked at his son's sharp gaze without saying a word.
"Have you gone mute?" Little Gary asked.
"I don't want to talk to you. Can't you see that?" Heinz opened his eyes.
"You don't want to talk to me because you're guilty." Little Gary chuckled and added, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. Everyone knows."
"From where did you see that there's something wrong with us?" Heinz retorted.
"After my mother came back herself, Aunt Alice and Uncle Charm also came. The three of them muttered and whispered. Their voices were very low. They only talked when we were not around. If we wanted to go over and listen, they immediately stopped talking. They all forced a smile and sent us away. We knew that something was wrong the day before yesterday," Little Gary analyzed.
Heinz was surprised. This child was really good at reading people's mind.
As a father, he really admired it. He and Grace could actually give birth to such a smart child.
"Dad, if you feel embarrassed to tell us that you broke up with Mommy, we can understand. In fact, it is not necessary to lie. My brother and I will not laugh at you. If you don't tell the truth, we will laugh at you." Looking at Heinz, Ernest tried to persuade him. "Don't do stupid things."
"Yes, I broke up with your mommy." Heinz was really badly pestered by the children, so he blurted out, "But I proposed breaking up because I wanted to protect you two and your mommy."
"Ha!" Little Gary immediately stood up from the bed and pointed to Heinz and said to Ernest, "Ernest, did you see that? This liar has deceived us for so long."
Heinz was speechless. He didn't know how he should react. He looked at Little Gary and said, "What liar?"
"You," Little Gary said. "You like to lie so much. Don't you think you're a bad person?"
