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."
