"Uncle Heinz, can you not be so petty?" Maria really had the urge to roll her eyes. She commented, "I just wanted to refute your remarks saying we are childish, but you're roping my dad in to deal with me. Are all men so petty?"
For example, Gary and Ernest.
Why did she feel that men were so petty?
Zachary did not say anything. Soon, they were going to be separated. In another hour or so, the plane would take off.
Zachary glanced at Heinz and changed the topic, "Alex is sending them off to England. He will come back after everything is settled."
"Aren't you going to send someone too?" Heinz looked at Zachary teasingly and said, "Look, your daughter is leaving to study now, but you are still so reluctant to let her go. If she gets married in the future, won't you be more worried?"
"Am I that worried?" Zachary refused to admit it, "I didn't send anyone to follow them, so am I still considered worried?"
