When Jackson saw Cherry's worried look in her eyes, he touched her head, and with a smile on his face, softly said, "Baby, don't worry, Grandpa isn't angry with you! I told him about Joe, and he's very happy that he already has a great-grandson. He wants us to go to the military residential compound as soon as possible and visit him together with Joe."
Cherry seemed to be more at ease after she heard Jackson's words. She thought to herself, 'Grandpa has always wanted me to have a child with Jackson, and now that we have already had Joe, he must be so happy that he might not be angry with me anymore.'
Jackson then suddenly grabbed Cherry's hand, and seriously said, "Baby, don't worry, I'll always be there for you, no matter what happens! I'll take care of everything, so you don't have to worry about anything!"
At that moment, Cherry lovingly looked at Jackson, and she thought that she was the happiest woman in the world. She nodded to him, and said, "Okay."
Jackson was also delighted to see the happy look sparkling in Cherry's eyes. He gently said, "Let's go shopping this afternoon; I'll buy you some new clothes and we'll go to the residential compound to see Grandpa in the weekend."
"Well, it's all up to you, " replied Cherry. Joe didn't have to go to school in the weekend, and they could take him with them to see Jackson's Grandpa. Cherry thought that maybe, as soon as Andrew saw Joe, he might be too happy to question her about her running away five years ago.
After they ate their lunch, Jackson and Cherry went to the mall together.
In the mall, Cherry enjoyed herself very much, and she almost totally ignored the man next to her. She tried on many clothes, one by one, as long as she saw them look smart. Jackson was very tired, and like every man, he couldn't understand why women were so into shopping.
However, when he saw that Cherry was enjoying herself, he didn't complain at all, and just helped her pick the clothes that suited her the most.

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
Cherry fell silent, shook her head, and eventually left them alone.
In the evening, while they were having dinner together, Cherry looked at her son from time to time and saw that he was in a good mood.
After she thought for a while, she said to him, "Joe, I want to tell you something."
"Okay, go ahead Mommy, " said Joe in a casual manner, as he continued eating his meal.
As she looked at him, Cherry said, "Mommy and Daddy want to take you to visit your Great-Grandpa, your Daddy's Grandpa."
"Great-Grandpa?" Joe then stopped eating, and after he looked somehow puzzled at his Mom, he said, "Why didn't Great-Grandpa come and live together with us?"
"Your Great-Grandpa is an army man, and he lives in a military residential compound. He's been there for decades, and because he's gotten so used with the place, he doesn't live with us here, " said Jackson.
"Got it, " said Joe, nodding. He thought, 'Great-Grandpa is Daddy's Grandpa, and it will be nice for me to see him!' Joe continued to say, "Let's go on Saturday! I also want to meet my Great-Grandpa."
After they heard Joe's words, Cherry and Jackson looked at each other and smiled. They were very happy that their son was so considerate and obedient.
Joe suddenly asked, "Daddy, so you grew up in the military residential compound? Was it fun there?"
