True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 281

After they had arrived downstairs, Jensen opened his car door and took out a piece of paper. He handed it to Little Gary and said, "Kid, can you understand it?"

"Yes," Little Gary nodded. "It's very clear."

"Yeah, I've given you everything I know," Jensen said.

"Okay, thank you." Gary folded the paper carefully and put it in his pocket.

"Your toys," Jensen took out a box and passed it to him.

Gary fetched it and said, "I'm too old for toys. You don't have to buy me toys next time. I'd prefer you treat me to McDonald's."

"Oh," Jensen couldn't hide his surprise. "Why do you keep thinking of food?

"My mom doesn't allow me to have burgers," Little Gary said with grievance. "It's only natural I would feel that way."

"How could I buy you burgers when your mom doesn't allow it?" Jensen shook his head with dismay. "If I buy it, your mom would be mad at me, so would your little aunt. She'll tear me into pieces."

Gary said with disdain, "How can you be such a coward?"

"Kid, it's not that I'm a coward. It is just an inappropriate thing to do."

"Pfft!"

At this time, Jensen's phone rang.

Jensen said, "Sorry, I'll have to answer the phone."

He picked up the phone and was startled when he saw the screen.

Gary glanced at him and said, "Is it that person?"

"You're right. It's your father," Jensen said.

Little Gary pouted and looked furious.

Jensen answered the call, "Hey, why are you calling me?"

His tone was harsh. After all he had been beaten up by Heinz.

"Where are you?" Heinz asked, his voice sounded dispirited.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Jensen said.

"Where the hell are you?" Heinz asked again. He was indeed stubborn.

"I'm at Alice's and Grace's house," Jensen said fretfully. "I'm here for dinner. Just tell me what you are up to."

Upon hearing that, Heinz hung up on him.

Once Jensen heard the beep sound from the phone, he was fuming with rage.

"Are you nuts? he shouted.

When he looked down, he found that Little Gary was staring at him with a pair of big clear eyes. He immediately said, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back. Your father has such a bad temper."

"I can see that," Little Gary nodded. "Luckily I didn't inherit his bad temper."

Jensen gaped at him, unable to refute.

Gary then proceeded to walk ahead, while Jensen followed him with his hands full of bags.

Out of the blue, Gary blurted, "Only those who are incompetent tend to get angry easily."

Jensen almost choked himself. "Ahem, you seem to know too much, kid."

Little Gary ignored him and pressed the button of the elevator. While waiting, he looked up at Jensen and said, "In fact, getting angry is a kind of mental illness." "Kid, are you saying that your father is mentally ill?"
