Zachary was surprised to hear Little Gary say such daring things about his own father. He was in some ways bold and shameless.
"Who are you all talking about?"
Just then Heinz's deep voice sounded from behind them, sounding a little displeased.
He thought to himself that he really couldn't give any leeway when it came to Little Gary. The boy had been talking behind his back despite him letting Little Gary have things his way.
Furthermore, it was not the first time that he had done this.
Little Gary didn't feel embarrassed about getting caught. Instead, he lifted his eyes and looked straight at Heinz, saying, "It doesn't matter who it was. You don't need to ask."
His words were full of sarcasm towards Heinz.
Little Gary had been mocking and ridiculing Heinz since they first met.
Heinz snorted and glanced at his son. How could he keep his silence? He smiled faintly and said, "Who knows, maybe my children will be the same as me years later." "Yes, maybe. After all, we have many children here. Who knows, maybe the baby in Mommy's belly would be the same when he or she grows up."
Little Gary's tone was calm and gentle as he spoke, rendering Heinz very speechless.
"It's fine if you say that about yourself and Ernest, but why must you bring it upon the baby? What did the baby do wrong towards you?" Heinz asked grimly while looking at him.
Little Gary shrugged and said disapprovingly, "When did I have any opinions about my younger siblings? I just want to develop them. I want you to know that I am not the only one who will castrate you in the future. They might be scarier than me."
Heinz looked at Grace, trying to ask for his wife's help.
However, she just told him, "What's the point of fighting with him? He's trying to infuriate you because he cares about you."
"Mommy!" Little Gary protested as soon as he heard that. "Whose side are you on?"
He found that his mommy now did not care about them ever since she was close to Heinz.
"Mommy, I'm your son. I'm your biological son. I came from your belly," Little Gary reminded her again, "We're the closest."
"Yes, both of you are the people whom I'm closest to," she said perfunctorily. "Come on, let's go to the living room and sit down. I'm tired."
Heinz guided her and shook his head helplessly.
It looked like he would always come last in this family.
"Let's go, Maria. I'll treat you to eat some fruit," Little Gary said to her.
Ernest immediately then followed him and said, "Yes, Maria, I'll also bring you there. Let's enjoy fruits together."
"Okay, sure." She saw how they were both very good to her, and immediately smiled sweetly. She held each of their hands and walked to the living room.
"Mr. Butler, hurry up and get someone to serve us fruits and milk," Little Gary called out.
"Yes, sure!" The butler quickly ordered someone to serve afternoon tea.
Grace found it strange that both her sons were holding Maria's hands.
It was as if their problem had been solved just after they slept.
Little Gary's and Ernest's dislike towards Maria were totally gone.
