Female Novel
Chapter 394
Heinz Jones picked Ernest up after noticing his hesitant look.
Ernest called with a sweet smile, "Dad!"
"Good boy," Heinz hugged him and put him down.
Little Gary tore himself away from Grace's arms and stared at Heinz with a cold face.
The little one did not bother to greet Heinz and he merely stared at him.
Meanwhile, Ernest was very polite. He smiled warmly at Grace and greeted, "Good morning, Aunt
Smith."
"Hello, Ernest," Grace bent down and held him in her arms. She praised, "Ernest, you're such a polite
child."
As she spoke, she glanced at Little Gary and said sternly, "Little Gary, shouldn't you greet too?"
Little Gary pursed his lips and stared at Heinz. He uttered, "Good morning, Heinz!"
Heinz twitched lips and mumbled, "Heinz?"
Did Little Gary just refer to him by his name?
"Yeah, Heinz," Little Gary replied. He nodded as though there was nothing wrong with the way he had
addressed Heinz.
Grace Smith was speechless. She did not know whether she should laugh or cry. This child never took
Heinz seriously.
She pursed her lips and adjusted her mood swiftly. She then said patiently, "Little Gary, do you think
that you should greet like that?"
Little Gary stared at Grace. He knew that his Mommy was trying to teach him to be polite. However, he
could not be polite whenever he met Heinz. He said, "But Mommy, Heinz didn't say anything about it."
"That's your father," Grace corrected.
Little Gary shrugged and replied lazily, "Yes, I know, but I just couldn't bring myself to call him that."
Grace's eyes widened. That was a good reason.
She knew that it was too demanding to ask the child to address Heinz as his father.
After all, Little Gary's father appeared too late in his world.
She stole a glance at Heinz.
Heinz shook his head. He was about to speak when Little Gary interrupted him.
"Besides, even if I have the nerve to call him that, he may be too embarrassed to answer back. I am
afraid that he will die of embarrassment if he were to do such a shameless thing," Little Gary added. He
stated another good reason.
Both Grace and Heinz were dumbfounded.
Heinz's lips twitched again.
He realized that his son was sent by God to punish him for his bad temper.
He could not get angry in front of this adorable little one. He had to put on a smiley face to please his
son even if he was being criticized harshly.
He then walked over to Little Gary and bent down. He stared at his son and asked, "Why do I have to
be embarrassed about it?"
"Aren't you?" Little Gary retorted.
"I won't be too ashamed to answer back if you called me 'Dad'," he said with a smile, "Come on, call
me 'Dad'."
"I suppose you're really shameless then" Little Gary pouted and sighed, "You surprise me. You didn't
raise me for the past five years and you didn't even know that I existed. You made my Mommy suffer
but you still had the nerve to declare that I'm your child. You even felt that I was at fault for not
addressing you as my father. I am amazed at how shameless you are."
Heinz looked at his son. The latter's cool little face resembled him.
He smiled and answered, "I'm mentally strong."
Gary pursed his lips again and muttered, "You're shameless. You're the most shameless person I
know."
"Does that make any difference?" Heinz asked composedly.
"Of course there's a difference," Gary explained solemnly, "Being shameless is an insult but being
mentally strong is a compliment."
Heinz chuckled, "Do you think that I could win over your Mommy if I wasn't shameless?"
"That's why you're embarrassing yourself," Little Gary replied.
Heinz nodded and uttered, "Well, I don't think that it is embarrassing." "That's because you're heartless.
What do you even know about shame?" Little Gary could not help but refute, "But I still wouldn't call
you 'Dad'. You should feel ashamed."
"Son, don't worry about it," Heinz concluded, "You're my son and your Mommy is mine. Why do you
have to hold her back?"
"My Mommy might not be yours. Uncle Henley is still watching," Gary reminded him.
"No, he's out of the game," Heinz bragged, "I've won and your Mommy promised to be with me!"
"Are you that greedy? How could you think that I'm in for it without even asking for my opinion?"
"Shouldn't I? After all, you're my son!"
"My Mommy may have forgiven you, but I have not."
"Boy, that's enough," Heinz said, "You wouldn't want to wear out yourself."
"Dream on," Little Gary snorted, "Are you feeling tired just from this? You got tired without even working
hard. You're the type who seeks to achieve everything by doing nothing."
"Why do you mean by doing nothing?" Heinz said seriously, "You're the baby that I had worked so hard
to harvest!"
"Heinz!" Grace shouted in a low voice. She stopped him from spewing nonsense to a child.
What did he mean by harvest? Was she a piece of land to him?
Little Gary clicked his tongue and sighed, "You've stayed with my Mommy for two days but she's still
addressing you by your name. You're really inefficient. You're so inefficient, yet you're still want to be
my father. You're truly shameless. I feel embarrassed by you."
Heinz was speechless and he explained, "It's a cool thing to have me as your father and you'll know it
sooner or later. I'm the most handsome, young, and promising father in the whole of Northern City. You
shouldn't look down on me."
"So what? What's the use of that?" Gary shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. He continued,
"I don't care. Money means nothing to Mommy too."
Grace was taken aback. She asked, "Why are you involving me in this?"
"Mommy, you're still addressing him by his name. So don't expect me to greet him nicely, okay?" Little
Gary smiled and he spread out his hands nonchalantly. He continued helplessly, "I don't have a good
role model."novelbin
"Little one," Heinz commented, "You could just ridicule me all you want, but don't say that to your
Mommy. She's a lady."
"That's my Mommy," Little Gary added, "She won't be angry and she will soon know that I'm right."
Grace parted her lips to retort but she felt that the child's words were not unreasonable.
She was addressing Heinz by his name, so how should the child address him?
She sighed and said, "Heinz, stop it. Let's discuss this after school today."
"Mommy, did you hear that just now?"
"What?" Grace turned to his son.
"He insulted you," Little Gary pointed at Heinz.
Grace's heart throbbed when she noticed her son's behavior. She knew that her son was mocking
Heinz so that Heinz would treat her better.
"When did I insult your Mommy?" Heinz tugged Little Gary's little hand and said, "Tell me."
"You said that I was the baby that you had worked so hard to harvest." Little Gary good memory and he
did not forget every word that Heinz had said. He continued, "What on earth do you take my Mommy
for?"
Heinz was taken aback. He immediately looked at Grace and apologized, "Sorry, it was a slip of the
tongue!"
"Mommy, I think that you should consider this carefully. You don't have to be kind to him if he treats you
badly," Little Gary proposed.
