Female Novel
Chapter 1078 Written Pledge
"You're right," Timothy spoke as he reflected on his carelessness. "What you said is true. | know you're just worried about yourmother. You're a good son."
"| guess you can say that,” Little Gary replied, not sounding modest at all. He clearly understood himself. "I don't see myself asone. To you adults, only children who are obedient and won't talk back to you are considered good. I'm obviously not that."
"Oh? You don't believe you can be?" Timothy said.
"That's not it,” Little Gary shook his head. "I'm just well aware. You don't have to encourage or praise me for just being who | am.| won't treat you better just because you praise me a little here and there. | have my principles."
Little Gary didn't forget his original plan to help his Mommy get to the bottom of this.
"Well..." Timothy was very content. He didn't let himself feel much over the fact that a child was blaming him. He could sense thechild's sincere concern for Grace. He also knew that this child was astonishingly smart. "It's good to be a man with principles."“Anyway, | can't bring myself to treat you or Heinz well," Little Gary said. "The two of you are at fault, after all. You can refute bysaying you had difficulties and unspeakable reasons, but | still stand by my opinion that the two of you aren't really good fathers."
Little Gary was surprised to see that Timothy's expression remained apologetic after he had spoken. Why wasn't he mad at himfor the insults?
"| know. | get what you mean," Timothy said. "About your mother's hospitalization... I've been feeling really guilty and sorry aboutthat. But you're still young, there are still many things between the adults that you won't really understand until you're mucholder."
"| understand everything. Your wife must've been worried that Mommy's presence might tip the balance of your family. That's whyshe wanted to poison her," Little Gary said distastefully. "She's so cruel. How are you planning to punish her for being soheartless?”
Timothy stared at him in astonishment.
Assuming that Timothy's silence meant that he was not willing to punish Quinn, he added, "If you don't have the heart to do so,I'm more than willing.”
Timothy was taken aback. "You'll what?""Yes, I'll punish her myself." Little Gary affirmed. "Don't think I'm incapable just because I'm young."
"That's not it,” Timothy said. "Little Gary, I've divorced her and she's turned herself in to the authorities. She actually went to thepolice herself.”
"Turned herself in?" Little Gary was very surprised and asked suspiciously, "Why would she turn herself in so suddenly?"
"That's between us adults. | hope you won't get involved anymore because you don't know the full story. You're not fit to judgethe situation properly. | know you're very smart, but we don't want to have you involved if we can help it." Timothy said.
Little Gary looked at Timothy for a moment before he suddenly jumped down from the sofa and approached Timothy. "When didyou divorce her?" "This morning," Timothy answered.
Little Gary shrugged and said, "It seems that you've only decided to divorce her after you found out, is that right?"
Timothy nodded, not concealing the truth. "Yes. To tell you the truth, | was very angry when | found out." "So, you chose topunish her with divorce?" Little
Gary asked.
Timothy looked into Little Gary's eyes and then turned to look at Ernest and Lowell, who had been staring back at himwordlessly. Obviously, they were all on Little Gary's side.
The three little boys were frowning in unison. It appeared that they were extremely dissatisfied with Timothy's decision.He shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry that this happened."
"| can tell," Little Gary replied. "You've been apologising to us since you stepped into the house. You blame yourself for theincident. It appears to me that you seem genuinely sincere about this."
Timothy felt his heart prickle sourly. He looked even more desolate now.
Little Gary eyed him for a while. Facing this middle-aged desolate old man, he was at a loss for words. The same words that hehad also wanted to use on Heinz could not come out.
He shook his head and sighed. "Forget it. Even though | really want to render you speechless, | don't have the heart to do itanymore seeing how sad you look. I'll hold my tongue for now. Now that I think about it, you do seem to be innocent in all this.You've merely been used by someone else."
Timothy looked at Little Gary in surprise. How did the child know about that?
"| know that you've been used by your ex-wife. On TV, I've heard them say that the most vicious thing in the world is a woman'sheart. | don't know how you've found such an evil wife. Now that I've thought about it, you've been through a lot all these yearsas well." Little Gary sighed and said, "Never mind. I'll stop attacking you for now."
After that, he walked back to the sofa and sat down.
Just then, Ernest spoke up, "Although Gary's finished speaking, | still have something to say."
"Alright, Ernest. Go ahead,” Timothy looked at Ernest and prompted, "Just say whatever you want to say.""| just want to ask, will you be remarrying?" Ernest asked.
Dumbfounded, Timothy took a moment to think and immediately shook his head, "No."
“Are you sure? What if you decide to do it in the future?" This time, Ernest looked at him very seriously. "Many people don'tcontact each other after their divorce, but many people also remarry too. That isn't an impossibility."
"I'll swear to you then. | will never remarry her."
Timothy pledged.
"Get it in writing," Ernest said toLowell, "Lowell, go get q piece of1\)seperannensn GNeten to Mr.ieee so he can make a writtenpledge to us." Please read the originalcontent at NovelDrama.Org.
Timothy didn't know how to react. Even so, he still nodded and agreed, “Alright, I'll do it."Soon, Lowell brought a pen and paper over and handed them to Timothy.He picked them up and started writing on the coffee table.
Timothy was very serious throughoutthe ordeal.

After reading that nothing was out of place, Ernest handed the written pledge to Lowell and said, "Lowell, please put it away. Wemust safeguard it."
"Alright," Lowell replied and hurriedly stowed the paper away.
In the living room, Ernest looked at Timothy, approached him, and said, "I can trust you, right, Grandpa?"
Timothy almost gasped in shock. The child just called him Grandpa.
He was really touched. His heart and body filled with warmth at the greeting.
His eyes also welled up with tears as he choked out, "Did you just call me Grandpa?"
“Ernest, where are your principles?" Little Gary scolded in distaste. "Why are you so easily moved?"novelbin
"I'm a simple person," Ernest didn'tshy away. "If I'm satisfied wi omGrandpa’ repentaneé'lishou dbeFeiorahice him. Doesn't that makesense? Gary, why do you have to beso arrogant?" Please read the originalcontent at NovelDrama.Org.
Little Gary rubbed his nose at the jibe. He was slightly disoriented by Ernest's comeback.
