Chapter 559

Jensen did not look back at Alice when he drove away.

Alice sat in the car and was very angry. She watched as Jensen left and as his car drove away. He

didn't say anything or look at her at all.

He actually left just like that.

Alice's eyes widened in shock.

When Zachary got into the car, he saw the scene in front of him. He caught a short glimpse at Alice and

then got into the car.

"What are you looking at?" Zachary asked lightly, "Why are your eyes wide open?"

Alice was startled and immediately lowered her head. After a while, she looked up at Zachary and

shook her head. "It's nothing, Zachary."

Zachary smiled and did not say anything.

Alice waited for a long time. When she noticed that Zachary did not intend to speak, she was surprised

for a moment. She frowned and asked, "Zachary, what did you say to my sister and Jensen?"

"Officer Charm?" Zachary glanced at her and prepared to start the car engine.

"Yes, Jensen," Alice whispered.

"Your sister introduced him to me and said that he is your boyfriend," Zachary said.

Alice pouted and said, "He's indeed my boyfriend.

What did you talk about just now?"

Zachary thought that Alice's anxious face was funny, thus the corner of his lips lifted. He said with a

playful smile, "Nothing much."

He purposely did not want to talk about it.

Alice was very anxious. She saw them talking and laughing. They must have talked about something.

The more she held it in, the more she panicked.

She really wanted to know.

"Oh, Zachary," Alice let out a low cry. "You are being such a bummer. There is nothing you can't tell me.

What are you trying to hide?"

Zachary was very calm and asked in reply, "Am I? Is there anything necessary for me to hide?"

Alice was dazed and lowered her head. She felt very embarrassed.

"Jensen is your boyfriend. You didn't introduce him to me and now you are saying that I'm hiding

something. He's not even my boyfriend."

"What?" Alice was so startled that she looked up at Zachary and asked suspiciously, "Zachary, you

don't like men, do you?"

Although Zachary was very broad- minded and cultured, he couldn't help but frown. His lips twitched.

She thought that he liked men?

This younger cousin of his was quite imaginative.

"Do you think that I look like the kind of man who likes men?" Zachary was not angry, but his tone

sounded displeased.

Alice looked down and pondered for a while before she said, "How would I know if you liked men or

not?"

"Even if I did, I wouldn't steal my cousin's boyfriend, would I?" Zachary chuckled and said, "Alice, I'mnovelbin

really surprised by your thoughts. Are you jealous?"

"Jealous?" Alice was in disbelief for a moment as if she had been struck by lightning.

Jensen was jealous just now, and her cousin was saying that she was also jealous.

Alice thought for a while but was still unsure of her own feelings. She looked at Jensen and frowned,

"Do you think I'm jealous?"

"If you are not jealous, how can you be so irrational?" Zachary asked.

Alice lowered her head again and sighed, "Are you in love with men or not?"

"Of course not," Zachary said slowly.

"Then, I'm relieved." Alice nodded and felt less worried. "What did you talk about just now?"

"We only introduced ourselves." Zachary drove and glanced at Alice.

"If that's the case, why did you laugh?" Alice said softly.

"Do you want us to cry instead?" Zachary asked.

Alice was at a loss for words.

Zachary glanced at her calmly. She was obviously unhappy and she couldn't tell if she was jealous.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and turned on the stereo to play a song with the other hand.

Soft and beautiful music started playing in the car.

It was the piano version of The Four Seasons.

When Alice heard what he said, she turned to look at Zachary. "Zachary, you really surprised me. You

are actually listening to piano music."

Zachary smiled and did not say anything.

Alice did not say anything either. She leaned back against the seat and listened to the music. Her heart

slowly calmed down.

Grace got into the car.

Heinz couldn't help but ask her, "What did your cousin and Jensen talk about over there?"

"Jensen got jealous." Grace explained, "There was a squabble between them."

"He was jealous?" Heinz was very surprised and then he laughed. "The sun has risen from the west. I

have never heard such a funny joke."

"Jensen is human too. Why is it surprising that he was jealous?" Grace said, "Even you get jealous. Did

you expect that Jensen wouldn't get jealous?"

"You are right." Heinz chuckled and said, "So what if I'm jealous? I have the right to be."

"Aren't you ashamed?" Little Gary asked from behind, "Why are you being so shameless?"

Heinz frowned. "Grace, did you see that? Your son is ridiculing me again."

Grace turned to look at Little Gary but didn't say

anything.

Little Gary took a glance at Grace and restrained himself.

Grace just sat down when Little Gary said, "How could one admit to being jealous so openly? You are

so thick-skinned."

Grace had no choice but to turn around to look at Little Gary again.

Little Gary shut his mouth.

Ernest laughed. It seemed that he was laughing at Little Gary, but it also looked like he was laughing at

Heinz.

Grace felt helpless and said, "The more you mention it, the thicker his skin gets."

Little Gary was startled. "Mommy, are you siding with him now?"

Grace nodded. "I'm not siding with anyone. I just want to remind you that you must remember to

respect others no matter what you do. Besides, you are talking to your father."

Little Gary lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time.

Grace noticed his look and eased her tone. "Just remember what I said when you do things in the

future. Don't repeat it anymore."

Little Gary suddenly looked up and said, "Mommy, you should tell him to respect me and everyone else

too. Respect is mutual."

Grace was silent.

She really didn't know what to say.

Heinz answered, "I've always respected you, kid."

Little Gary rolled his eyes. "Mommy, look. He just called me 'kid1. Isn't he being disrespectful?"

Grace's eyes twinkled and she looked at Heinz. She frowned and felt very helpless.

"Okay, Gary." Heinz gritted his teeth. "I respect you, alright?"

Little Gary thought about it for a while and answered calmly, "That's more like it."

"Then, can you call me 'Dad'?" Heinz asked in an insatiable manner, "My good son.”

Little Gary's face was scrunched up as he frowned.

He still refused to address Heinz as 'Dad', but he replied politely, "I can't call you 'Dad' out loud."

"Then, what are you planning to call me?"

Little Gary rolled his eyes and said, "You are a few years older than Mommy. I'll call you Uncle."

"Uncle?" Heinz had an impulse to teach this kid a lesson. "You want to call me Uncle?"

Little Gary answered seriously, "I think it's inappropriate to call you Uncle as well."
