Female Novel
Chapter 1024
Grace was really frightened when she saw Gary laying in front of her.
She felt distressed and guilty seeing her son's condition. Her face paled, and she kept calling out, "Little Gary, are you alright?Can you hear me? Answer me. Gary?"
However, Little Gary did not move at all. He just laid there without answering her. All he wanted was just to sleep.
Heinz quickly came over and squatted down to the ground to check on Little Gary. He really frightened the adults by fainting sosuddenly.
Heinz noticed that Little Gary's eyelids were moving, and his beating heart began to calm down a little. He now knew that the boydid it on purpose.
It must be hard for Little Gary, seeing how he faked fainting just because he wanted to sleep.It looked like he had run out of ideas that he had to use such tricks.
Heinz picked him up and said to Grace and Zachary, "There shouldn't be any serious problems. He's just sleepy. Let me carryhim to the room so that he can take a nap."
"Okay." Grace forgot all about propriety that she nodded her head quickly in agreement. "Let him sleep then. He is really tired.He was yawning all the way home. | didn't want him to have the comfort of having things his way but | forgot he was just a youngboy and can't really put up with so much."
That's more like it.
Little Gary thought to himself with his eyes closed. Hearing how his mom was still concerned about him, he breathed with a sighof relief in his heart.
She was still his mother, after all.
Heinz held Little Gary in his arms and looked at the rest of them. He then said, "Why don't you all head to the living room first?Ernest, come. You have a nap too."
"Okay, Dad. I'll be right there." Ernest immediately became energetic when he heard his dad calling him over to go for a nap. Heswiftly went to his dad's side and followed him into the house.
Zachary was also shocked about what happened to Little Gary, but his sharp eyes caught the boy's eyelids moving just now.Of course, such small movements would not escape his sharp eyes.
He just felt a little upset seeing how Little Gary faked fainting.
Could his daughter really be that unlikeable?
However, Little Gary was also a kid with many tricks up his sleeve. Zachary decided to just drop the matter, and he carried Mariainto the house.
Grace followed behind them.
"Grace." Zachary tilted his head and took a look at his cousin. Seeing the worry in her eyes, he comforted her. "Grace, don'tworry. He didn't really pass out."
"It's not real?" She was surprised for a moment and did not quite understand what he was saying.He replied, "| saw that his eyes were moving under his eyelids."
"Is that so?"
She was truly surprised to hear that but she could also understand what that meant.
It was not surprising for Little Gary to act this way.
Her eyes then fell onto the father and son trio who were walking into the house. She noticed that Heinz's steps were lighter andErnest was still following behind rapidly.
Zachary found out that Little Gary faked it, but what about Heinz? She wondered.
"Heinz saw it," Zachary pointed out. "That was why he picked Little Gary up and carried him to rest. Look, he's now showing hisfatherly side."
Grace was still a little surprised, but she let out a sigh in her heart. She gave Zachary a sheepish smile and said, "Sorry,Zachary"
"It's okay. It seems that the two little boys are really tired. They just want to sleep. We had been refusing him, which was why heacted out. It's understandable."
"No," Maria pouted. "They are not sleepy. They are just hiding from me because they hate me."
"Uh!" Grace looked at her. This little girl was also smart and perceptive to be able to guess and know what the adults weresaying.
What was even more surprising was that Maria did not cry or make a fuss as usual. Instead, she just lowered her head miserablyand nestled herself closer to Zachary's neck.
She looked extremely pitiful. She was really like an abandoned little puppy that looked very lonely.Embarrassed, Grace comforted her, "Maria, let them rest first then they'll play with you after okay?""There's no need,” Maria shook her head. "Since they don't like me, | don't want to force them."Grace felt a twinge of sadness in his heart.
Zachary pursed his lips and also hugged Maria tightly. He was a little surprised at his daughter's behavior, but his heart ached forher more.
In the children's room.
As soon as Heinz entered the door, he told Ernest, "Close the door."
"Okay, Dad." Ernest did as he was told.
Heinz placed Little Gary on the bed and looked at him. The boy still had his eyes squeezed shut and he was lying stiffly straighton the bed. Heinz found it amusing.
He then said in a deep voice, "Well, it's safe now. You can open your eyes now."
Little Gary was a little startled. He began to wonder if Heinz had found out what was going on?
How did he know?
"| saw that your eyes were still moving even though your eyelids were closed. Don't act anymore. | know what's going on," Heinzsaid.
Little Gary was surprised and he then blinked his eyes open. He frowned a little when he saw Heinz and asked, "You found outabout everything?"
Heinz sneered. "Not only did | see it, but your uncle also saw it. Do you think your little tricks aresmart enough to fool the adults?"
“Mommy believes it," Little Gary said frankly.
"Oh, are you implying that your mommy is blind and slow?" Heinz glanced at him.
"| didn't say that.” Little Gary would of course deny it. How could he say anything bad about his mother when she still caredabout him?
“Your mom was worried about you because she cared." Heinz continued in his deep voice, "She panicked when she saw thatyou fainted, which was why she didn't notice it."
Little Gary shrugged his shouldersand laid on the bed. There was aflash of helplessness￠n\kjs Wloodlshbtevs: He said, Ken what should |do? Now that you know then so be it.| really can't stay up any longer. |would rather faint than stay outside."Please read the original content atNovelDrama.Org.

"This kind of cousin is just horrible. Why don't you try staying up all night? Don't say what you can do when you haven't tried it,okay?"
