Seeing that Little Gary was calm, Ernest's anxious heart settled down a little. "If you are not worried, I feel a little better. But what should we do?"
"Go check if Heinz is at the door." Little Gary held the phone and commanded Ernest, "Open the door and catch him in the act."
"Got it." Ernest went and stood by the door, listening.
After a while, he really couldn't hear anything outside. He lowered his voice and whispered, "I can't hear anything."
Little Gary replied, "That's for sure. The sound insulation effect is very good. I've tried it before."
"Then what should we do?" With a pair of big, bright eyes, Ernest asked. He felt a little excited, but also a little worried about his parents' current situation. He didn't want to be a child in a divorced family. It was not easy for him to be with his father and mother. He now hoped that his parents could be together.
"Open the door and take a look." Little Gary ordered, "You must quietly capture Heinz.
Don't act rashly and alert him."
"Alright." Only then did Ernest open the door silently.
However, he didn't expect that when he opened the door; he happened to see his father, who was also standing quietly at the door.
For a moment, they looked at each other with incomparable embarrassment.
Heinz was an adult, so he quickly came to his senses and immediately turned serious. "You two, go to bed early."
Ernest was young, and he had never done such a thing before, so he was still in a daze for a while.
Little Gary chimed in, "Heinz, what are you sneakily doing at the door? Do you want to listen in on our call?"
Heinz put on an air of authority and looked sharply at his son's face, saying, "I told you to go to bed early."
"Don't be arrogant." Little Gary didn't care about what he said and just added, "Heinz, if you have something to say, just say it. If you want to know anything about Mommy, just let me know. If you're pompous, I'll make a phone call and I won't tell you the result."
Heinz's eyes became sharper. His son must be seeking revenge. Heinz must have owed him in his previous life.
He just looked at his son without saying a word.
Little Gary suddenly felt bored and said, "Well, since you're not here to listen to the call, you can leave. Please close the door."
Heinz was in no hurry to leave.
Little Gary turned to Ernest and noted, "Ernest, close the door."
"Sure." Ernest was very obedient. He quickly closed the door.
However, just as the door was about to close, Heinz's hand reached out and blocked the door.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Ernest yelled.
Fortunately, Ernest didn't close the door hard, otherwise, Heinz's hand would have been in pain.
"I'll listen to your call." Heinz came over and sat down beside the bed. He looked at Little
Gary and urged, "Call your mother."
"You should've been straightforward from the start." Little Gary looked at him speechlessly. "When will you change your arrogant habit?"
Heinz gritted his teeth. "Kid, just wait. When you have a relationship in the future, I will definitely show your more arrogant side to your woman."
"Oh!" Little Gary laughed. "I wonder if you'll still be alive when I have a girlfriend. Old fellow, take care of your health. You're so narrow-minded, so it's easy for you to fall ill."
He was such a petty person to avenge such a minor matter.
Little Gary looked at Heinz with disdain. He felt that the old man was too spiteful. He was actually so petty as to care about such a small matter.
Heinz was also left speechless.
He squinted at Little Gary.
"I won't fuss over this with you," Little Gary claimed. He was in no hurry to make a call.
