True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1020

As Zachary heard his daughter's words, he, a man who had just become a father moments ago, felt sad for his daughter. The urge and instinct to protect his daughter surged into his heart.

He picked up the little girl and said to her, "Gary and Ernest do not dislike you. I'll bring them home to play with you right now."

Heinz and Grace almost choked.

He held Maria in his arms and went to the classroom. He stood by the classroom and looked at Gary and Ernest. Then, he raised his voice and called out, "Gary, Ernest."

Gary and Ernest were just rejoicing about how they managed to escape from staying with Maria when they heard their Uncle Zachary calling out to them.

Instantly, Gary's heart filled with some impending bad feelings.

The little boy shuddered and lowered his head, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Ernest was smart and caught on to what Gary was doing. In an instant, he followed him and ignored

their uncle.

Almost naturally, Ernest lowered his head as well and turned to look out the window. He did not spare a glance for his uncle at all.

Zachary waited for several minutes.

However, those two little boys continued to ignore him, and this made Zachary feel a little embarrassed and humiliated.

He was sad and worried about how they treated her daughter. He couldn't figure out why they were treating Maria this way.

His heart ached. Holding his daughter in his arms, he knitted his brows tightly and shouted again, "Gary, Ernest!"

This time, it was louder.

However, they still paid no attention to him.

Seeing how her new cousins acted, Maria felt upset by it. She puckered her lips and said softly, "Dad, look, they dislike me. They are ignoring us and they are rude. They're bad."

"Yes, they are!" Zachary said, now being an overprotective father. Whatever his daughter said was all correct and reasonable. He then said, "Don't worry, Maria. I'll bring them back home to play with you." "Daddy, you're the best!" The little girl looked at

Zachary and said excitedly, "I believe in you."

With her father's promise, she immediately perked up and proudly looked at Gary and Ernest.

"Gary, Ernest, you two be careful," Maria threatened. "I'm going to be with you guys the whole night tonight."

Gary and Ernest instantly lowered their heads and pretended that they didn't hear anything.

Having seen what happened, Zachary did not understand what made the two little boys stay away from Maria so badly. He felt frustrated and upset at the same time.

He cast his gaze back to Heinz and Grace.

They were standing in the corridor and naturally saw everything that had happened.

Heinz shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
