Stunned, Heinz said, "Little Gary, I won't be picking up Ernest today."
"If you don't pick him up, do you think he'll feel better?" Little Gary asked fiercely.
Heinz was stunned.
Lester also chimed in and said, "President, Young Master Ernest has also gone through a lot. Don't you think he will be affected by the difference in treatment?"
Heinz thought for a while, but he could not figure it out.
Then, Little Gary instructed bluntly, "Send Ernest to our house. I will sleep with him tonight."
Heinz was stunned again and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Do you want to stay with Ernest?"
"Yes." Little Gary replied, "Do you not understand English?"
After a long while of being baffled in silence, Heinz responded, "Okay. Lester, inform Butler Holland to bring Ernest here."
"Yes," Lester complied.
"Let Uncle Lester pick Ernest up," Little Gary spoke again.
Once again, Heinz was stunned. He looked at his son before saying to Lester, "Okay, then. Lester, go
and bring Ernest here."
"On it," Lester replied and left immediately.
After that, there was only Heinz and Little Gary left in the living room.
Heinz looked at his son and said, "Son, if there is anything on your mind, you can let me know."
Little Gary frowned, "Don't call me your son. I don't want to accept you at all, and I don't have anything to say to you."
"If you don't want to accept me, why did you do such a thing to my company's website? Why were you so nervous when your mommy came in just now?" Heinz easily understood his son's thoughts and he questioned, "You sent Lester away just because you wanted to tell me something, right?"
When Gary heard what Heinz said, his gaze flickered and his big clear eyes were full of surprise.
"Are you surprised that I have guessed your thoughts right?" Heinz asked further with a smile. He had not looked at the report yet.
"Hmph," Little Gary rolled his eyes and muttered, "You're only good at guessing."
"Am I right?" Heinz repeated.
"No," Little Gary refused to admit it.
"Alas," Heinz sighed. "You really are like your mother. You both speak empty words."
"Don't say anything bad about my mommy." Little Gary retorted as he didn't buy Heinz's words, "If I were you, I should be worried about what my mommy and Uncle Henley are talking about in the
room."
The look in Heinz's eyes flashed as he chuckled in response, "You're so considerate of me; it proves that you really are my son. Did you send Lester away because you wanted to tell me this?"
Gary frowned slightly, and a trace of embarrassment rippled across the cool expression he was wearing. He denied indifferently, "I'm not considerate of you."
"Yes, I know you're doing this for your mother," Heinz said as he stood up. Then, he walked over to the child and sat close to him. Heinz looked at Gary and said, "You've known about this report for a long time, haven't you?"
Little Gary replied coldly, "Yes."
"Why didn't you look for me earlier?" Heinz asked.
Gary glared at him as if he were looking at a fool. He asked in return, "You're the one who made me, but why didn't you look for me earlier?"
Hearing this, Heinz was taken aback. He defended himself, saying, "I didn't know you existed."
"You didn't know? You should have thought about it when you made me," Gary mocked.
Heinz said helplessly, "Son, if I had known about your existence, I would have looked for you in the first place."
