Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 325

Heinz froze. He felt a sudden pain in his heart when he heard the kid's words.

He knew a little about Grace's situation, but he didn't know much about it. He was very regretful that he didn't get to know Grace better.

He was indeed not qualified.

Even as a boyfriend, he was not qualified.

Right then, when he looked at his son, his eyes were full of remorse.

He looked at the child in a daze, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated and distressed.

After a long time, he piped out, "I promise to treat your mommy good."

Little Gary's pupils enlarged, his eyes were full of accusation and disdain. He stated in a monotone, "You'd better not promise anything."

Heinz's face darkened.

Little Gary continued, "If your promise means anything, my mommy wouldn't have cried because of you. What you have brought to my mommy is only tears, not happiness."

Heinz was stunned again. Although these words came from an angry child, they were spot on and they managed to pierce through his heart.

He felt extremely ashamed.

It seemed that he did not bring much happiness to Grace.

"So, don't promise me anything," Gary concluded.

Heinz sighed, "Son, you don't understand grown-ups' matters."

Little Gary snorted, "Don't give me such an excuse. I don't believe in that kind of nonsense. What is there that I don't understand? You adults are so self-righteous to think that you can fool us children."

Heinz broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Don't be so sharp-witted."

"If I’m not sharp-witted, I'll be bullied." Little Gary disagreed with him, "You bullied us, an orphan and a widow. What kind of a man are you?"

Heinz frowned at his words, "Kid, I'm not dead yet. Your mommy is not a widow, nor are you an orphan."

"Is there any difference?" Little Gary pressed on, "Some people pass away, yet they would always live in our hearts. Some others stay alive, but they are actually dead to the people around them. And you, in my understanding, are just a living dead."

Heinz was stupefied and thought to himself, "What an unpleasant thing to say."

He took a breath but he just couldn't say a harsh word to this little kid who looked just like himself.

He couldn't say it.

Gary was his son. The way he spoke and the extent of his confidence were all just like him. Heinz could tell at a glance that Gary was his son without having to do a test.

"Yes," Heinz made a self-evaluation. "In your hearts, I am indeed unqualified, and I haven't done anything good."

"It's good that you understand," Little Gary jumped down from the chair. When he faced Heinz, he said, "It's time for me to go back to the kindergarten."

"You are leaving now?" Heinz asked. He hadn't gotten familiar with him yet and the child was already leaving.

Then, Heinz suddenly got up from the chair, went around the desk, and crouched down in front of the child.

At this close proximity, Gary took a few steps back instantly and glared at Heinz.

Heinz crouched down and reached out to touch the child's face.

The little fella shrank back inadvertently.

Heinz felt a sharp pang of agony. The child was not used to his touch.

Little Gary thought for a moment and said regretfully, "Our kindergarten teacher is not bad and patient, but she is too old."

"Puff!" Heinz couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He said, "Son, you do think too much. Your teacher is old enough to be your mommy."

"What are you laughing at?" Little Gary criticized Heinz in disdain, "Look at how carefree you are. You suddenly found out you have a son and you don't feel guilty at all. How dare you laugh?"

Heinz was speechless once again.

Little Gary then said, "I'm leaving. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"I'll send you back," Heinz stood up and followed after him.

Little Gary thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can send me if you want to. But don't claim that you have anything to do with me."

"Okay, I won't say it," Heinz promised.

Anyway, judging by their appearances, they looked just like father and son. Therefore, he didn't need to say anything.

However, while sending Little Gary, he thought of Ernest and felt sorry for him. The butler was the one who had been sending Ernest every day. Heinz had never driven Ernest to the kindergarten.

In the future, he would send Ernest and do his duty.

Since he had adopted Ernest, he had to raise him properly.

Then, both Heinz and Little Gary opened the office's door and marched out.

A group of people were gossiping outside the room. When the door opened, Heinz came out with an impassive face.

The petite figure beside Heinz, who looked like a mini version of him, also had a cold expression. It was certainly eye-catching to see the two come out together.
