Hearing Heinz express his dissatisfaction strongly through the phone, Grace raised her head to look at him
His handsome face was gloomy, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He looked very cold and his voice was even icier when he said, "I don't have time to waste on you. Don't talk nonsense."
His father continued to say, "This is not nonsense. I really have a very important issue to tell you. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years. All I want is to say a few words, is that too much?"
Heinz's voice became even colder and his face was as cold as ice, "Humph! That's for sure. In your mind, everything is within an acceptable level, right? Well, this is not the first time that you've gone too far. For you, it may be the most important thing, but to me, it's not."
His father said calmly, "Kid, I really have something very important to tell you."
Heinz replied indifferently, "There is nothing important left between us since a long time ago."
"I really have something to tell you," his father still said it in the same tone and it seemed that he was not in a hurry. He spoke casually, which caused Heinz to be very frustrated.
His expression suddenly changed and he said apathetically, "Don't call me again."
His father said, "If you don't want to answer the phone, I'll go to your house to look for you, or maybe I'll go there now. I can see my two grandsons too. I heard that Grace gave birth to two children for you. I'm looking forward to seeing them."
Heinz's chest heaved up and down. It seemed that his father's words really irked him.
The man on the other side continued to say, "I didn't expect that after so many years, I actually became a grandfather and have two precious grandsons. It's a happy occasion, and I haven't encountered such a cheerful event for many years. I want to see my grandsons. It's not too much of an ask, don't you think so?"
Speaking of that, Heinz sneered even more. He said coldly, "You don't even have a son, so how can you have a grandson? When people plant a seedling, they need to water and fertilize it. They work hard to take good care of it until it grows into a large tree. Being a person who did not participate in the process at all, how dare you want to enjoy the fruits of others' labor?"
His father was full of confidence when he said, "Because I am your father. It is impossible for you to get rid of our blood ties."
Heinz said coldly, "You are used to being shameless, aren't you? If there was justice in this world, will it punish someone like you?"
"Irresponsible and greedy."
"Now that you are old, you want to spend time with your family."
"You don't deserve to have such happiness! If you still have some dignity, you would not ask for this."
His father disagreed and said, "Don't say that! It's not that I was irresponsible. It was only after you had become an adult that I left. As for me and your mother, your mother was clear about it. It was all in the past and it ended when her life was over."
"You don't have to keep bringing it up to criticize me for being irresponsible. That's not true."
"After all, I only left you when you reached adulthood, am I right?"
"And in your opinion, isn't it more irresponsible for the parents who are divorced?"
Heinz trembled in anger and said, "You didn't divorce my mother before you left. If you really divorced my mother, I would still respect you as a man, but what did you do then?"
His father replied composedly, "To put it bluntly, you hate me now because I left you for so many years, right? I think you have passed the age where you need a father's love, so there is no need to hate me so much now."
"In fact, I don't need you to do anything for me. I just want to see you. After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, then I will tell you something important, but now, should I say it or not?"
