Heinz furrowed his brow and cast a glance at his son in front of him.
It seemed that this little guy knew about everything.
He could tell what had happened to Lowell. Although he knew Lowell's background, he still wanted to protect him. He was a smart, virtuous, and sensitive child ₒ
It seemed that the children were getting along with Lowell. They had accepted him from the bottom of their hearts, thus they were all keeping a watchful eye on Heinz.
He was very rational. He thought it was a good thing, and he was proud of it because his son looked like a kind child.
Even though Gary was very strict with him, Heinz believed that he would have to wait for some time until the child could really accept him. Perhaps, Little Gary would even treat him the nicest then, because he was a righteous boy after all.
After a slight pause, Heinz looked at his son and said, "Tell me, can you accept him as your uncle?"
"What about you? Can you accept him as a brother of yours?" Little Gary threw the question back instantly.
Heinz didn't answer. He smiled and said, "He is an uncle who is only three years older than you. Anyway, it is an unalterable relationship."
Little Gary rolled his eyes, and he looked lively and animated when he said, "Hey, you haven't answered me yet. Can you accept this younger brother who is only three years older than your sons?"
Heinz didn't say anything.
Little Gary frowned and said, "Don't tell me you've accepted Lowell? You are here to kick him out of the house, aren't you?"
Heinz did not want to circumvent his son any longer, thus he replied forthrightly, "No! I'm not asking him to leave."
Little Gary pursed his lips and said, "Who would trust you? I don't dare to believe in your words."
"If you want him to stay, then take Ernest to your room now. Your mommy is waiting for you there. I need 15 minutes to have a talk with Lowell. You guys can go to play first, and then we'll play a game together."
"Then, you have to be frank with me first. Can you accept Lowell and allow him to stay here?" Little Gary asked again.
"Will you spare me if I were to reject him then?" Heinz asked with a smile.
"Heinz, you are really boring. I've been asking you straightforwardly, but why do you keep throwing questions back at me? If I can make a decision, why should I waste my time on you? Come on, be a straightforward man!"
Heinz didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He bent down and stared at his son. He said sincerely, "Listen now, I can tell you bluntly that Lowell will stay here and we will treat you all equally. He will not get any less than what you have. Is that okay?"
A smile flickered across Little Gary's face. He nodded and said, "I'm not sure if you are a man of your word. After all, it's easier said than done. Based on my experiences, you have always reneged on your promises to us and I am already used to it."
However, he couldn't hide his grin as he spoke. It seemed that he was very happy. Since Lowell could stay, there was someone to play with them.
Sometimes, children's friendships were so strange.
From Little Gary's expression, it seemed that he really liked Lowell.
At the same time, Ernest, who was also wary of Heinz being in the room, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Therefore, can you two go back to your rooms now?" Heinz asked.
Ernest replied immediately, "Okay, Dad. I'll take Gary with me now."
He was really willing to cooperate. He took Gary away and left. He even closed the door for them out of consideration.
