"Gary?" Miss Holland was surprised and asked, "He's your child?"
"Yes," Heinz announced proudly. "But I have some conflicts with his mommy. Don't mention to her that I've been here before. Is that okay?"
Miss Holland nodded, "Okay, okay."
Heinz then exchanged a few more words with the teacher.
After that, Lester left with Heinz after he had collected his ID card and working ID.
In the classroom upstairs.
Little Gary sat in the corner as soon as he entered the classroom.
When Ernest came in, he found Gary sitting in a corner. Thus, he walked over and greeted, "It's really surprising. You and I are brothers."
Little Gary didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Ernest asked, "It may be my Dad's fault, but are you going to be mad at me and ignore me?"
Gary shook his head and replied, "I'm not that narrow-minded."
"That's good," Ernest grinned. "Maybe I'm too lonely. I don't know why I feel very happy to hear that you're my brother."
Gary said, "I am also very happy to have you as my brother. But when I think about the fact that you were not my mommy’s son, I feel unhappy."
"Is it very important to you that we are from two different mommies?" Ernest asked with a smile.
Little Gary thought for a moment and answered earnestly, "Of course, it's important. It means that Heinz is a man who impregnates any woman randomly."
Ernest nodded after thinking about it, "You're right. Your existence has proven it."
Gary added, "He is so casual. Can you imagine how sad my mommy is? My mommy is very sad and despises Heinz. We don't know who your mommy is, and we don't know if she is sad as well. Maybe your mommy cries every day too."
Ernest's heart missed a beat after hearing this, and uncertainties were written all over his childish face.
He uttered, "But, I never know who my mommy is."
"Then why don't you ask?" questioned Gary.
Ernest shook his head, "I would never receive an answer even if I asked."
"That's a guilty conscience," Little Gary said. "You should fight for it. You're too honest. He will bully you and won’t tell you about your mommy."
Ernest looked at Little Gary and said, "In fact, he is very nice to me."
"How is he nice to you?" Little Gary asked, "I've never seen him send or pick you up. You don't live with him, but you live with the butler, right? Look, that's how he treats you. He's irresponsible."
What Gary said was quite reasonable.
However, there was an unspeakable feeling in Ernest's heart right then. Heinz was his father, and he admired his father very much.
Why did he feel that his father wasn't a good person after hearing Little Gary's words?
"Then what should I do?" asked Ernest.
"How about running away from home?" Little Gary's big eyes flashed slyly as he proposed, "Let's run away from home together."
"Let me think about it again," Ernest replied.
"What more do you need to think about? What's there to think about?" Little Gary chirped, "I have a safe place."
"Aren't you afraid that your mommy will be worried about you?" Ernest raised his eyebrows at him and chided, "Your mommy will be worried if you act like this."
Little Gary paused for a moment and continued, "Yes, my mommy will definitely worry about me. I have to think about it carefully."
"Then, are we still good friends?" asked Ernest.
"Of course, we are not only good friends but also good brothers. You're not Heinz," Little Gary stated very clearly.
"That's good," Ernest nodded with a sense of relief.
"I hate Heinz," Little Gary pouted. "How could there be such a person? He has two children. He doesn't know the existence of one of his children, and he doesn't know the existence of your mommy. Is he an idiot?"
Ernest also said, "Although I really wanted to defend him, your complaint seems to make sense."
