Grace felt her heart melt at that moment.
She looked at the child in front of her and felt sorry for him.
In the next second, Grace held the child in her arms. At that moment, she felt that all the cells in her body seemed to be boiling.
This child's impact on her was definitely not normal.
Looking at Ernest, her heart began to warm. The inexplicable sense of familiarity made her emotional.
He made her feel the same way Little Gary did.
Right then and there, Grace recalled what Marry had said about her dead child.
He had been taken away by Marry before she could even take a look at him.
Grace closed her eyes and hugged Ernest. At that moment, perhaps it was because she was too emotional, she felt as if she was holding her other son.
"Ernest," Grace's voice was a little husky. "I like you very much. If I'm going to marry your dad, you will definitely be living with us. I won't let you live alone with your maids and butler. It's just that I don't have much confidence in your dad. I don't know if it'll work out between us."
Ernest was stunned. Surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by worry.
He said, "Aunt Grace, why do you think it won't work out?" Ernest raised his adorable face and asked Grace, "Can't you be confident? Let me give you some confidence, okay?"
"It’s because my mommy is not someone who can be satirized and bullied," a child's voice suddenly came from behind.
Grace was crouching on the ground with Ernest in her arms, and they turned their heads together to the voice.
Little Gary stood not far away with his hands in his trouser pockets. He looked at them with his sharp and mature gaze.
"Are you talking about my dad?" Ernest asked as he looked at Little Gary.
"Who else would I be talking about?" Little Gary raised his eyebrows and said, "Who else do you think is so rude?"
"I don't think there's any other person," Ernest replied. "It's just that you seem to know Dad better than I do."
"That's because he raised you like a canary. He doesn't spend time with you every day. When he thinks of you, he'll come to see you. If he doesn’t think of you, he neglects you. So of course, you don’t know him well," Little Gary voiced his analysis eloquently.
Grace got up with Ernest's hand in hers and led him to her son.
Little Gary looked at them and continued, "Mommy, I'll bring Ernest to my room. After all, he knows that you have no problem with him. He will be relieved."
Grace smiled, ruffled their heads and said, "Okay, go and play."
"Mommy, you see, if you get together with Heinz, you'll get another son for free. Ernest is also a sensible child, why don't you consider this?" Gary said.
"Son." Grace looked at him and said, "You shouldn't call him Heinz. I understand that you don't want to call him Dad as you're not used to it, but I don't want you to be rude."
Little Gary was startled at his mother's words and felt a little embarrassed. He said after a pause, "Well, okay, I understand. I won't call him that anymore."
"Ernest, go with Little Gary," Grace then said.
"Mommy, he agreed to let Ernest stay here with me today," Gary said.
"Okay," Grace did not have any objection.
Ernest looked at Little Gary with a little surprise and asked, "Do you mean Dad?"
"Of course," Gary said.
"It's incredible," Ernest looked at them in surprise. "I can't believe Dad wants me to live outside."
"This is not outside, but my home. Naturally, if your dad and my mom get together, this will also be your home!" Little Gary reached out and put an arm around Ernest's neck, saying, "Let's go to play in my room."
Ernest nodded.
With that, the two little guys went into the room.
Grace opened the suitcase given by Lester and looked for Heinz's clothes. There was a complete set of clothing in the suitcase, and there were even socks in there.
