True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 223

"The butler and servants told me." Ernest Jones said, "I guess they were just trying to comfort me. I've asked my dad before. But, my dad told me that he was the only person I have."

Gary pursed his lips and said, "Your father is funny. How was it possible for him to give birth to you?"

"Maybe it's his way of telling me to give up on the hope of ever seeing my mother," Ernest said. Then, he looked in the direction of the kitchen. He felt envy.

"It's so nice to have Mommy and Little Auntie," he thought to himself.

"So, you said that your mommy in the United States? She's so far away and she's not coming back? Your mother is weird." Little Gary looked at Ernest and asked.

Ernest was eating an apple. He thought for a moment and shook his head. He said, "I've never seen my mother before. I don't know what she looks like."

"Well, you can just look at my mommy. All the mommies in the world look like her. She is so gentle. She never scolds me. She never lost her temper around me." Little Gary said.

Ernest did not say anything. He was yearning for a mother.

Then, Little Gary pointed to the kitchen and said,

"Even my Auntie is the same. They know that I have no father. They try to give me all the love that they can offer. All they want is for me to be happy."

"The butler in my house and Uncle Charm also loves me very much, just like your Auntie. I feel that Uncle Charm was like a mom to me."

"Who's Uncle Charm?" Gary was confused.

"You haven't seen him before. You'll get a chance to meet him next time."

"Okay."

Both of them were chatting while eating.

Grace and Alice were cooking in the kitchen.

Soon, dinner was ready. The dishes were being served on the table. Four of them sat at the table together.

Grace and Ernest both went for the same piece of beef as soon as they started eating.

Grace was surprised when they both went for the same piece.

Ernest was surprised as well.

Alice and Little Gary were also shocked.

They were both looking at Grace and Ernest.

Grace smiled and said, "Ernest, do you want this piece?"

"I'm sorry, Auntie." Ernest put down the fork and said.

Grace put the beef into Ernest's plate and said, "No worries, you can have it." "Thank you, Auntie."

"So, you like to eat beef also?"

"Yes. I like it very much." Ernest nodded his head as he replied. A little shy.

"Did you see that, Auntie? They both seem like they are mother and son. They have the same taste!" Little Gary said.

"Hey, are you jealous?" Alice teased.

"Nope. I wish that Ernest was my brother. We get along so well with each other." Little Gary said.

Grace and Alice looked at each other and smiled.

Grace asked, "Why did you say so, Little Gary?"

"Both of us won't be lonely anymore if we had each other," Gary said. Then, he pushed the plate of beef to Ernest and said, "Ernest, please eat more. Look at the dishes on the table. There are no vegetables at all. We love to eat meat."

Alice burst into laughter and said, "That's true. Sister, did you realize? These are all meat."

There were ribs, shredded meat, beef and diced chicken on the table. They were no vegetables at all.

Grace couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Yeah, it's a good thing that Ernest has the same taste in food as us. Otherwise, he'll go home hungry."
