Chapter 255 Late Night Hallway (Part Two)

"Grandpa!" Jackson couldn't help but shout when he heard Andrew mentioning his death.

Andrew patted Jackson's hand, and said, "My grandson, I'm old now, and it's a normal that eventually all people die some day. No one can stop this."

Jackson was so upset that he couldn't say a word anymore.

Andrew suddenly fixed his eyes on his grandson, and said, "Jackson, I'm planning to transfer all my power to you. Then, I'll have nothing to worry about anymore."

Jackson knew what was the power that his Grandpa meant. With that power, he would have a huge army at his disposal with which he could control all the grandees in the city.

Jackson declined Andrew's offer, and said, "Grandpa, you should keep the token for now, I don't need it. Besides, I have Bobby at my side, and he can still help me to do a lot of things." He thought that if his Grandpa still held the token, he would think that he still had responsibility, and that he would forget sometimes that he was old. Jackson hoped that Andrew could live as long as he could to accompany him for more time.

Andrew was astonished by his reply, and asked, "You really don't want it?" He thought to himself, 'Why did my grandson turn me down? The token is always there for him, and he knows that's impossible for me to give the token to someone else. Why didn't he accept it?'

Jackson nodded, and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to have it now, and I hope that you can keep it for longer."

Jackson still didn't say what he wanted to.

His real thought was 'Grandpa, I hope that you can be with us forever.'

Andrew looked at his stubborn grandson and didn't insist anymore. He nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll keep it safe for you."

It all starts on that fateful night.

When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I did no such thing!"

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

e heard her question, Jackson lowered his head, and as he looked at Cherry, he replied, "Baby, I want to tell you something."

Cherry looked into his eyes, and said, "Okay. Say it, I'm listening."

"This afternoon I talked with our Grandpa about... Lucia." Jackson paused, and then added, "Our Grandpa is hoping that she could come back here from time to time, because this is also her home."

"Will she live with us here?" asked Cherry. She sounded calm and emotionless.

Jackson was was afraid that Cherry would be angry, and he carefully explained to her, "No. I forbid her to enter into this compound, but I've agreed to allow her to come back here and visit Grandpa. After all, Grandpa is pretty old now, and he has always treated her as his own granddaughter; he misses her and her son sometimes."

"You've already agreed with Grandpa on this, so why do you ask me now?" Cherry then released herself from Jackson, turned her back to him, and didn't look at him anymore.

Jackson knew that Cherry was angry, so he held Cherry into his arms. He feared that she would leave him, and he was terrified of the thought of losing her.
