True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1004

"Brother, do you think Mommy can handle Maria?" Ernest was still worried after returning to the room.

Little Gary shook his head. "Of course not. Even I misjudged her before this."

Ernest also muttered, "The both of us would have been deceived by her if you didn't catch it just now. I didn't even realize that she was secretly observing us when she cried."

"That's right. She really was secretly observing us," Little Gary sighed, it was an unexpected discovery for him just now, "That girl is a little demon, the kind that pretends to look innocent."

"She probably asked so many questions just now because she was too bored, right?" Ernest asked, "I noticed that after you stopped responding to her, she started coming at me instead. It's almost as if hearing us talk made her excited."

"She definitely did it on purpose," Little Gary said affirmatively. "It was intentional. D*mn it, I felt so guilty whenever she cried. It really didn't occur to me that she was just pretending to cry this whole time."

Little Gary's heart was still fluttering in fear when he recalled what happened earlier.

He just did not want to talk to that little girl. Then, she covered her eyes and cried. He was always curious about how she could just cry so quickly as if she could cry on demand.

He then observed Maria secretly, just to find that her eyes were blinking through the gaps of her fingers, without any redness in her eyes at all.

He had no idea how she managed to make her eyes red before that.

He continued to observe her nonchalantly.

That little girl was still crying like a baby to Ernest.

Little Gary couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her hands away directly.

After all, Maria was still a child, so she certainly wasn't as good as Little Gary and Ernest when it came to defending herself. She probably did not expect him to have pulled her hands away like that as well.

Her sly eyes were thus exposed in front of Little Gary and Ernest who caught her red-handed.

"You did this on purpose." Little Gary sounded firm about it.

Maria was startled for a while before denying his accusations. "What, what did you mean by doing it on purpose? Little Gary, what are you talking about?"

"You did that on purpose. You were just pretending to cry," he said seriously. "Do you dare to say that you weren't pretending to do so?"

She immediately shook her head. "I don't understand what you're talking about. I did no such thing."

Ernest was shocked too, "Gary, what do you mean?"

"She's tricking us," Little Gary said. "Ernest, believe me. She's definitely tricking us. I noticed her staring at us secretly while crying just now."

"No, I didn't." Maria blinked her eyes desperately. After a while, her eyes reddened.

Little Gary said, "Your acting skills are commendable, but maybe you can stop doing that. We're very tired now. Let's just be honest with each other, Maria."

She pouted and stared at Little Gary for a while while something flashed in her eyes, "Then you'll have to accompany me and answer whatever questions I have without stopping."

"Ha!" Little Gary smiled and shrugged. "So you're finally admitting that you have been tricking me and Ernest, right?" "No, of course, I didn't," Maria continued to deny.

"I'm such a well- behaved girl. How dare you accuse me like that? I'm gonna snitch on you to your mommy."

"You have to understand that she's our mommy, so think carefully about whether she'll pity us or you even more." Little Gary wasn't worried about Maria's threats because he already thought of ways to counter them.

It looked like this little girl was really too good at pretending to be so innocent.

Ernest immediately doubted Maria as well after hearing their conversation.

He stared at her unblinkingly, as if to observe whether she was really lying to them.

"Ernest." Maria turned to him after realizing she couldn't handle Little Gary. "How about you? Can you accompany me to chit chat instead?"

Ernest's first reaction was to look at Little Gary and seek his opinion.

Little Gary answered directly in his place, "He's not free. We're going to sleep now."

"Yeah, we are going to bed now." Ernest quickly expressed his stance as well. "You should quickly go to sleep as well. We are still young. It'll be difficult for us to grow taller if we don't get enough sleep." "I don't want to sleep." Maria shook her head and pouted. "Is it because the both of you don't like me and don't want to talk to me already? Is that the reason behind your actions?"

Little Gary waved his hand and said, "Having to rest earlier has nothing to do with whether we like you or not. In fact, we like you. That's why we want you to sleep now so that you can grow taller. Understand?"
