Chapter 560

"Did I allow you to call me Uncle? Call me Dad," Heinz said in a deep voice.

"I can't." Little Gary still brought up the same reasoning, "It is not easy for me to simply call someone

'Dad'. Moreover, I am not someone who simply does things."

"Little Gary, do you mean that I'm someone who does things simply?" Ernest said next to him. "I called

our mother 'Mommy' the moment I saw her."

Little Gary's little brows were still furrowed. He looked at Ernest as he did not expect his younger

brother to cause him trouble.

A troubled look appeared on Ernest's face as he looked at Little Gary and expressed his own opinion.

"Gary, you have double- standards. You have high expectations for Dad but you only have low

expectations for yourself."

"Shut up," Little Gary immediately stopped him.

"Haha!" Heinz suddenly laughed when he heard that. "Ernest, my good son, you are right. Gary, this is

double-standard."

Little Gary pouted and felt a little annoyed.

Ernest also smiled and felt a little awkward. He looked at Little Gary awkwardly.

Heinz said again, "Ernest, it doesn't matter that your brother expects less of himself compared to me.

I'm an adult now. I won't bother myself arguing with a

childish kid like him."

Childish kid?

Little Gary immediately widened his eyes and there was astonishment in them.

He was a little frustrated.

He lost this round.

His little head drooped down as he leaned back against the car seat and stopped talking.

Grace noticed that he was in such a low mood and felt bad.

However, this child needed to calm down, and she couldn't pamper him too much.

Grace said to Ernest, "Ernest, you're a good child. Come and sit next to me."

She let Ernest sit down next to her.

Little Gary raised his eyes and looked at them silently for a while. Then, he looked out of the window.

Grace took a glance at Little Gary calmly but did not say anything.

Heinz glanced at Grace with worry in his eyes.

Grace shook her head.

Heinz did not say anything as he understood that Grace did not want him to do so.

They should let Gary figure it out himself.

They all wanted Little Gary to calm down, but Little Gary had always been like this. Grace thought that

it was time to let Gary learn his lesson.

"Ernest, do you want to drink some water?" Grace took care of Ernest along the way while she ignored

Little Gary.

Little Gary didn't say anything the whole time.

After driving for an hour and a half, the car stopped at a rest stop. Everyone was ready to go to the

toilet and stopped for a short rest.

Grace got out of the car with Ernest and asked Alex to take him to the toilet.

Little Gary stood behind and did not move.

After Heinz got out of the car, he looked at him and wanted to say something. He parted his lips, but in

the end, he didn't. He turned and walked towards the washroom.

When he reached the corner, he reminded Lester, "Keep an eye on Little Gary. Follow him wherever he

goes."

Lester nodded. "Yes, Sir."

Heinz went to the bathroom, where Ernest and Alex were there.

"Dad, do you also want to use the restroom?" Ernest saw Heinz in the toilet and said.

"My good son. I, of course, have to deal with nature's call too. Go out and wash your hands, okay?"

"Got it," Ernest replied with a crisp voice.

When Heinz came out of the bathroom, he noticed Little Gary coming down alone. He wandered

outside while Lester followed him unhurriedly.

Heinz frowned and shouted loudly, "Little Gary!"

Little Gary looked up in Heinz's direction.

Heinz strode toward him quickly.

He lowered his head and looked at his son. He asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to the toilet?"

"I don't want to go to the toilet," Little Gary said.

"It will take another hour before we reach the next rest stop." Heinz said, "We are not going out for a

trip. We are going to send your great-grandmother's ashes to be buried in Southland. We have no time

to stop randomly along the way."

Little Gary was startled. He pursed his lips and clenched his hands into fists. He looked in the direction

of the washroom but did not move.

Heinz could not care less and he bent down to pick him up.

Little Gary was not used to it and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"You are being unreasonable, thus I'm carrying you to the toilet myself." Heinz held the little fellow in

his arms. He was quite heavy. Heinz walked a few steps and felt Gary getting heavier.

Little Gary no longer made a sound as he was carried by Heinz into the washroom.

When Grace saw them enter the bathroom, there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Ernest heard Grace's sigh and he raised his head to look at Grace. He said with a smile, "Daddy

carried Gary to the toilet. You don't have to worry about him anymore."

Grace felt warm in her heart. She lowered her head and looked at Ernest's little face. She bent down,

hugged him, and smiled. "You're really a good boy and you're so obedient. I like you."

"Mommy, I love you." Ernest reached out and hugged her neck to comfort her. "Don't worry about Gary.

He will definitely call our father 'Dad1. He's just being a little unreasonable. In fact, he feels injustice for

you. Gary said that he doesn't like the fact that Daddy did nothing but still got two sons."

Grace didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She raised the corner of her lips and said, "What a smart

boy. You know everything."

Ernest's smile became brighter.

As the pair of mother and son were talking, Alice came running from behind. "Grace, Grace."

Grace looked back and noticed her anxious look, "Slow down."

"Zachary is answering a phone call." Alice said breathlessly, "It seems to be from Southland. The

phone call sounded really serious; even Zachary's face looked troubled."

Grace's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked at the car in the distance.

Zachary got out of the car and looked at her from a distance. However, she couldn't notice any

difference.

"Did you hear the conversation? What was the call about?" Grace asked in a low voice.

"It should be about Grandma's ashes. They may not want Grandma to enter the Lowe family's

ancestral

tomb."

"What did Zachary say about it?" "Zachary was very domineering." Alice thought of Zachary's attitude

just now and felt very pleased and admired him. "He was so stern that his face turned gloomy. He said

that he has made up his mind and he didn't need to discuss it with anyone."

Grace was also flustered for a moment, and then she smiled with gratification. "Only being stem could

solve the problem. Being a yes-man wouldn’t solve the problem."

"What are you talking about?" In an instant, Zachary was in front of them. He looked at them with a

faint smile, and then his eyes fell on Ernest.

"It's nothing, Zachary." Grace smiled and said to Ernest, "Ernest, call him Uncle."

"Nice to meet you, Uncle." Ernest immediately greeted him.

Zachary bent down and looked at the little fellow. He took out four thick envelopes from his pocket and

handed one to him. "Take it."

Ernest was surprised. He stared at Zachary with widened eyes, and then looked at Grace.

Grace was also startled for a short while.novelbin

"Zachary, what are you doing?"

"It's just some allowance." Zachary said, "It's for the children and you guys."

He handed the envelope to Ernest as he said that. Then, he stood up, gave one to Alice, and handed

two to Grace, "This is yours and Gary's."

"Zachary, this is such a waste of your money." It was the first time Grace had received an allowance in

a very long time.

"It's not worth mentioning." Zachary smiled faintly. "It's to get a good head start."
