Grace Smith was unable to answer her son's question.
She looked at her son. The child was young, but he could see everything. His command of a language was also extraordinary. Children of his age could not catch up to him.
He could see through everything!
"That's your auntie, how could you curse her?" Grace Smith asked. Although she did not like Marry Smith at all, she still had to teach her son some manners.
"Mommy," Gary Smith looked at her sympathetically. "Why not? She can't even control her husband. She even cut off Little Aunt's tuition fees and living expenses despite how difficult it is for you and Little Aunt. She is a bad person!"
Grace was stunned at his words and immediately turned to look at Alice Smith.
Alice felt guilty, but she quickly shrugged her shoulders and said in a low voice, "Sister, he might have heard it from me when I was telling you."
Grace Smith glared at her but didn't scold her.
"Little Gary, I don't care how much resentment you have in your heart. Remember, they don't owe us anything. We cannot control how they treat us, we just need to do our best."
Gary Smith nodded and said, "Yes, as long as uncle doesn't come to us with that pained expression, I won't criticize him. In short, I will only criticize him if he does it again."
Grace was rendered speechless. She felt that anything she could say to Gary was useless.
This child really didn't like Simon Brown.
Alice Smith couldn't help but laugh again. But when she raised her head and looked at her sister who was looking at her fiercely, she immediately shut up.
Gary then piped up, "I have never criticized an honest person. There must be something wrong with the person's character if I ever criticize him. I won't remain silent when I meet a dishonest person."
"Oh!" Grace Smith rubbed the space between her eyebrows, as if she was down with a headache.
"Mommy." Gary was very filial. When he saw his mother's pained expression, he cried out, "Are you really angry?"
"No," Grace shook her head and sighed. "Mommy always hoped that you can differentiate between right and wrong. Now it seems that you already know quite a lot."
"Then can I continue to criticize that uncle?" Gary Smith immediately followed up.
Grace said, "It's up to you. Act according to circumstances."
"Yes," The child nodded. "Mommy, don't worry. I'm the only man in this family. I should protect you and Little Aunt." He promised.
Grace and Alice Smith looked at each other, they were both touched and saddened by his words.
The next day, early in the morning.
Grace Smith got up early to make breakfast. The three of them went out together after having their meal.
The toys and fruits were still outside the door.
They looked at each other and didn't make a move. When they entered the elevator, they happened to bump into a cleaner.
Gary Smith took a step forward and said, "Hello, auntie. There are some toys and fruits over there. Please pack them up and give them to any person whom you think might need them."
Both Grace and Alice looked at him. This little one had settled the matter so quickly!
The cleaner was shocked and refused politely, "No, I can't take them."
"These are gifts from an uncle. I don't need them as I have a lot of toys," Gary Smith chimed in.
The cleaner then nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you."
They went into the elevator together.
Grace praised Gary and said, "That's a good arrangement."
"You made the best use of it," Alice said.
"Yes," Gary Smith nodded and said, "If he buys me toys again, I'll ask him to send a truck of them to those little kids in kindergarten."
The corners of Grace and Alice's mouths twitched.
This child was more than a little scheming.
At Jones Estate.
It was only 8:50 a.m. when Grace Smith arrived.
She arrived ten minutes in advance because she was afraid that she would be late.
After entering the lobby, she first explained the purpose of her visit.
The receptionist glanced at her and said with a smile, "Miss, our President does not accept media interviews. I didn't receive any orders for any special arrangement, so I cannot give you access."
