Female Novel
Chapter 533
Heinz was stunned. Was he really that out of control?
So this was how they thought of him? How should he change it?
Grace left.
She followed the children's instruction and locked the door.
When Heinz came, he tried to turn the doorknob, but it didn't open.
She really did lock the door.novelbin
He stood by the door with a long face. Grace did follow her children's instructions.
He could only wait.
After twenty minutes, he couldn't wait any longer and went to find Butler for the spare keys.
"Where are the spare keys to my room?" Heinz asked.
Butler paused before replying, "Mr. Heinz, Young Master Little Gary took the spare keys already. He
told me that you'd request for it."
In an instant, Heinz's frown deepened. He had nowhere to vent his anger.
He looked at Butler with gritted teeth, perplexed.
Butler saw Heinz's reaction and felt guilty, "Mr. Heinz, was this not what you wanted?"
Heinz turned and left.
He wanted to have a smoke break and thought, "How frustrating! I need a smoke."
When he passed by the hall, he saw the children staring at him. Little Gary said, "If you want to have a
smoke, it's all ready for you."
Ernest took a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He walked to Heinz and said sympathetically, "Daddy,
how about you go outside for a cigarette?"
Heinz was quiet. He glared at the kid coldly.
Ernest was not afraid, but he added, "Don't look at me like that. I had no choice either. I think my
brother is right. You really should restrain yourself. Daddy, even if you don't need to rest, Mommy
needs her rest too."
"Fine," Heinz gritted his teeth and said. "You guys win. I admit defeat."
He took the cigarette and went out. Soon, he lit the cigarette and smoked at the entrance.
White smoke trailed out from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't hide the anger in his eyes and he
had the urge to punch someone.
Back in the house, Ernest felt helpless and said to Little Gary, "We've done enough. Didn't you see that
Dad was on the verge of beating someone up?"
"Don't you see Mommy yawning every day?" Little Gary replied. "Compared to Heinz, who is as strong
as a cow, Mommy wouldn't be able to fight in terms of stamina, IQ, and even her body so she needs to
depend on her sons."
Ernest thought for a while. Little Gary's words seemed to make sense.
He nodded. "It's true that Mommy can't compete but Daddy looks pitiful."
"He isn't pitiful," Little Gary said. "What's there to pity about him when Mommy was the one who gave
birth to us. What was he doing when Mommy needed him the most?"
"He was raising me!" Ernest exclaimed. "Daddy was very fond of me. Plus, he has his own company,
and he's swamped with work."
"Then what about Mommy?" Little Gary asked. "Mommy was working, and she worked a lot of jobs to
raise me. She also had to take care of Auntie's tuition fees. We had a tough life."
"Did Mommy work a lot?" Ernest asked with his eyes turning red, and he immediately feared up. "It was
Daddy who didn't notice Mommy getting tired."
"That's why he's incompetent," Little Gary replied.
"I'm so heartbroken." Ernest held his chest and ran to the door. He knocked on the door and cried,
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Just as Grace was done changing her clothes, she heard Ernest's calling for her; it seemed like he was
crying. She immediately opened the door.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Ernest standing there. Tears were streaming down his face
as he gazed at her pitifully.
"What's the matter, Ernest?" Grace immediately squatted down, picked him up, and then carried him to
the bed. She asked, "Tell me, why are you crying?"
However, Ernest hugged Grace by her neck and began to wail.
Grace racked her brains, but she couldn't figure out what was the reason.
Ernest kept bawling. He cried out, "Mommy, you had a hard life. You had to work so hard. I feel
heartbroken. Very heartbroken!"
When Grace listened to what her child said, she was stumped. She paused for a while as there was an
unexplainable feeling building inside her.
She hugged her child tightly.
Both mother and son hugged each other. Grace felt a tight, painful knot in her heart.
She felt that this child was indeed hers. There was no need to do any tests to confirm that fact. He was
truly her child.
He had felt her pain.
She also had a kind of inexplicable love for this child.
When she heard his words, she felt a painful but warm feeling spreading all over her body.
At that moment, Little Gary stood by the door and watched the both of them. He smiled slightly and
tiptoed out.
He went to the hall and saw the butler. He grinned as he went forward to him and said, "Mr. Butler, I'm
done using these spare keys. I'm returning it to you."
"I-isn't this what Mr. Heinz wanted to use?" Butler asked in surprise. Just then, he realized that
something was amiss.
Little Gary didn't explain either. He peered at the butler with big eyes and a wide grin, which melted his
heart.
This child was handsome, attractive, a sweet talker, and smart. Everyone would like him when they
meet him.
The butler immediately forgot about his previous doubts. He kept the keys and said, Tve made
arrangements for a meal. It will be time for dinner soon. Young Master, are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry. Prepare something delicious for Mommy."
"Of course, it will all be delicious food," Butler replied.
"That's good." Little Gary walked out.
With his hands behind his back, he leisurely walked out of the door.
When Heinz saw him come out, he put out his cigarette butt in order to not let the young child breathe
in second-hand smoke.
Little Gary smiled when he noticed his action. He walked up to him in big steps.
A glimmer of light flashed across Heinz's eyes. He lifted his chin and asked, "Kid, tell me, what are your
conditions so that you won't act snobbish with me?"
Seeing that his father had finally come to his senses, Little Gary knew that he would have to face him
sooner or later. He couldn't help it.
"Don't mention this to me," Little Gary waved his hand and didn't bother at all. "I won’t buy it."
Heinz was stunned again. "What would you like then?" "I just want to have a meal." Little Gary said.
"Ernest is crying. You should go take a look."
"Crying?" Heinz was startled. "What is Ernest crying about?"
"He was heartbroken that his mother had suffered and he couldn't help crying about it. Ernest is a kind
child, unlike some people who are heartless."
Heinz immediately set off. After entering the house, he went straight to the bedroom and saw that the
child was hugging Grace by her neck while crying. He was sitting on her lap and leaned into Grace's
arms as he wailed mournfully.
He was choking from crying.
Heinz stepped forward promptly. He was at a loss about what to do.
"What's going on here?"
Grace's eyes reddened with tears as well.
She did not answer him as she was afraid that she would cry out loud too.
"Daddy," Ernest turned to look at Heinz and shrieked in tears, "Why didn't you find Mommy earlier? If
that was the case, Mommy wouldn't have had such a hard life with Little Gary."
Heinz felt his heart jump to his throat. He, too, wished that he could've found Grace sooner.
If he had known that things would become like this, he would have brought Grace home that night.
"Ernest," Grace wiped her tears away and explained, "It's not your father's fault. It was fate, and that's
what fate does. It wouldn't happen earlier or later. It will happen when it's the right time."
