True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1024

Grace was really frightened when she saw Gary laying in front of her.

She felt distressed and guilty seeing her son's condition. Her face paled, and she kept calling out, "Little Gary, are you alright? Can you hear me? Answer me. Gary?"

However, Little Gary did not move at all. He just laid there without answering her. All he wanted was just to sleep.

Heinz quickly came over and squatted down to the ground to check on Little Gary. He really frightened the adults by fainting so suddenly.

Heinz noticed that Little Gary's eyelids were moving, and his beating heart began to calm down a little. He now knew that the boy did it on purpose.

It must be hard for Little Gary, seeing how he faked fainting just because he wanted to sleep.

It looked like he had run out of ideas that he had to use such tricks.

Heinz picked him up and said to Grace and Zachary, "There shouldn't be any serious problems. He's just sleepy. Let me carry him to the room so that he can take a nap."

"Okay." Grace forgot all about propriety that she nodded her head quickly in agreement. "Let him sleep then. He is really tired. He was yawning all the way home. I didn't want him to have the comfort of having things his way but I forgot he was just a young boy and can't really put up with so much."

That's more like it.

Little Gary thought to himself with his eyes closed. Hearing how his mom was still concerned about him, he breathed with a sigh of relief in his heart.

She was still his mother, after all.

Heinz held Little Gary in his arms and looked at the rest of them. He then said, "Why don't you all head to the living room first? Ernest, come. You have a nap too."

"Okay, Dad. I'll be right there." Ernest immediately became energetic when he heard his dad calling him over to go for a nap. He swiftly went to his dad's side and followed him into the house.

Zachary was also shocked about what happened to Little Gary, but his sharp eyes caught the boy's eyelids moving just now.

Of course, such small movements would not escape his sharp eyes.

He just felt a little upset seeing how Little Gary faked fainting.

Could his daughter really be that unlikeable?

However, Little Gary was also a kid with many tricks up his sleeve. Zachary decided to just drop the matter, and he carried Maria into the house.

Grace followed behind them.

"Grace." Zachary tilted his head and took a look at his cousin. Seeing the worry in her eyes, he comforted her. "Grace, don't worry. He didn't really pass out." "It's not real?" She was surprised for a moment and did not quite understand what he was saying.

He replied, "I saw that his eyes were moving under his eyelids."

"Is that so?"

She was truly surprised to hear that but she could also understand what that meant.

It was not surprising for Little Gary to act this way.

Her eyes then fell onto the father and son trio who were walking into the house. She noticed that Heinz's steps were lighter and Ernest was still following behind rapidly. Zachary found out that Little Gary faked it, but what about Heinz? She wondered.

"Heinz saw it," Zachary pointed out. "That was why he picked Little Gary up and carried him to rest. Look, he's now showing his fatherly side."

Grace was still a little surprised, but she let out a sigh in her heart. She gave Zachary a sheepish smile and said, "Sorry, Zachary"

"It's okay. It seems that the two little boys are really tired. They just want to sleep. We had been refusing him, which was why he acted out. It's understandable."

"No," Maria pouted. "They are not sleepy. They are just hiding from me because they hate me."

"Uh!" Grace looked at her. This little girl was also smart and perceptive to be able to guess and know what the adults were saying.

What was even more surprising was that Maria did not cry or make a fuss as usual. Instead, she just lowered her head miserably and nestled herself closer to Zachary's neck.

She looked extremely pitiful. She was really like an abandoned little puppy that looked very lonely. Embarrassed, Grace comforted her, "Maria, let them rest first then they'll play with you after okay?" "There's no need," Maria shook her head. "Since they don't like me, I don't want to force them."

Grace felt a twinge of sadness in his heart.

Zachary pursed his lips and also hugged Maria tightly. He was a little surprised at his daughter's behavior, but his heart ached for her more.

In the children's room.

As soon as Heinz entered the door, he told Ernest, "Close the door."

"Okay, Dad." Ernest did as he was told.

Heinz placed Little Gary on the bed and looked at him. The boy still had his eyes squeezed shut and he was lying stiffly straight on the bed. Heinz found it amusing.

He then said in a deep voice, "Well, it's safe now. You can open your eyes now."

Little Gary was a little startled. He began to wonder if Heinz had found out what was going on?

How did he know?

"I saw that your eyes were still moving even though your eyelids were closed. Don't act anymore. I know what's going on," Heinz said.

Little Gary was surprised and he then blinked his eyes open. He frowned a little when he saw Heinz and asked, "You found out about everything?"

Heinz sneered. "Not only did I see it, but your uncle also saw it. Do you think your little tricks are

smart enough to fool the adults?"

"Mommy believes it," Little Gary said frankly.

"Oh, are you implying that your mommy is blind and slow?" Heinz glanced at him.

"I didn't say that." Little Gary would of course deny it. How could he say anything bad about his mother when she still cared about him?

"Your mom was worried about you because she cared." Heinz continued in his deep voice, "She panicked when she saw that you fainted, which was why she didn't notice it."

Little Gary shrugged his shoulders and laid on the bed. There was a flash of helplessness in his bloodshot eyes. He said, "Then what should I do? Now that you know then so be it. I really can't stay up any longer. I would rather faint than stay outside."

"Maria is a little girl after all, and also your adorable little cousin. Do you two really have to do this? When you see her, you look like you want to run as far as you can."

"This kind of cousin is just horrible. Why don't you try staying up all night? Don't say what you can do when you haven't tried it, okay?"

Heinz thought to himself that Little Gary really did fear Maria.

He smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows. "Well then, let's not say anything more about it. However, don't you think that you're a little weak since you can't even stand a night?"

"I'm still a child." Little Gary didn't think so. "You adults don't seem to replace it too much when you ask two five-year-old children to stay up late in the night. Thus, we don't think we are being overboard either." "Okay, you never went overboard or anything." Heinz was rendered speechless but he added, "But I brought you in. Shouldn't you thank me at least?"
