The smile slowly faded from Cherry's face at what Jackson said. She looked up at him questioning, "Why do you want us to go visit Grandpa all of a sudden?"
"I just can't put my mind at ease. You know we left him there and haven't been back to see him in such a long time. It would make me feel better to go visit and make sure he is okay." Jackson's tone was gentle, he loved Cherry with all his heart and only wanted to treat her with tenderness.
Cherry agreed, she believed Grandpa Andrew missed Jackson a lot living in the big house alone. The butler may have been with him for many years, but, he was just an old friend to him, not a family member. Furthermore, when they visited him last time, Cherry could tell that Grandpa Andrew loved Joe dearly, so he must hope to see Joe too.
"Jackson, I think we should visit Grandpa Andrew too. How about going back this weekend?" Cherry asked, gazing at Jackson.
Jackson nodded his head, happily. Now that Cherry worked, and Joe had to go to school they could only visit their Grandpa on weekends.
At that moment, Lily approached them and announced, "Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Cherry, dinner is ready."
Cherry turned head, nodding to her in acknowledgement, "Alright, thank you. Please, go upstairs and ask Joe to join us."
"Okay, " answered Lily.
When Joe came down from upstairs, he saw his parents were in the dining room, already eating their meal. He rushed in with a smile asking, "Mommy, why don't you wait to have dinner with me?"
"We haven't started eating at all, we are waiting for you." Cherry said smiling at Joe. Her love and tenderness reflected in her eyes.
"I just thought, how could you two begin dinner without your lovely son?" Joe stated more than asked in a flat tone as he took a pair of chopsticks to eat with, regardless of what his parents thought and what their expression turned to be.
Cherry gave Jackson a questioning look, but all he could do was slowly shake his head, shrugging helplessly.
"Joe? When did you become so narcissistic?" Cherry questioned her son. Her voice had the serious chiding motherly tone.
"Is it narcissism? I just stated a truth." He turned to look at his Daddy asking, "Daddy, tell me, do you think I'm a lo
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
ry asked angrily. Then she looked across to Joe and changing the subject told him, "Joe. we are going to visit your Grandpa this weekend."
"Going to see Grandpa?" Joe was surprised. He stared at his Mommy asking, "Will that woman be going there as well?"
Cherry knew who Joe was talking about. Though it was the first time her little son met Lucia, Joe could still remember Lucia since what she did was so.impressive.
Cherry decided to let Jackson field this question, "Ask your Daddy." She said before lowering her head to resume eating her dinner again.
Joe turned his attention to his Daddy, staring expectantly at Jackson, because, he really wanted an answer to his question.
Jackson scowled, "She will never come near us."
From his daddy's expression, Joe knew his Daddy must have put that woman in her place, otherwise, he wouldn't make such a promise.
Joe felt the atmosphere in the dining room was serious, so, to lighten it, he laughed exclaiming, "Oh, I'm so happy! I can't wait to see my Great Grandpa this weekend."
Jackson looked at Joe with a smile on his lips, "Do you like your Great Grandpa so much?"
"Yes, my Great Grandpa treated me so well, " said Joe, recalling the last time he saw his Great Grandpa, "I also want to play with the little buddies."
Looking at Joe's expectant face, Cherry softly chided, "Joe, eat your meal now. There will be plenty of time to see Great Grandpa and your little buddies this weekend."
"Oh-okay, Mommy."
