Chapter 260 Protect My Son (Part One)

That night, while Cherry and Joe were lying together in bed, Joe looked at the pendant on his chest, and asked, "Mommy, how much does this cost?"

Cherry earnestly said, "Joe, no matter how much it's worth, it's your Great-Grandpa's present for you, so you must cherish it and keep it well."

"Okay! I will, Mommy!" happily replied Joe.

"That's right! We don't have to care about how much money they cost; we just need to know that they symbolize the Chu Family, and that we need to cherish them because of that, " said Cherry.

Joe nodded, and then changed the topic. He said, "Mommy, will Daddy come back home tomorrow?"

Cherry thought, 'When Jackson called me in the afternoon, he only told me that he wouldn't come back tonight, but he didn't say when he would come back...'

She honestly said, "I don't know, either. What's the matter? Do you miss your Daddy?"

"Yes. I hope that he'll come back home as soon as possible, and then we can go and visit Grandma Elsa and Grandpa Jacob in the weekend!" said Joe.

"Don't worry, Joe, Mommy'll call your Daddy tomorrow and ask him when he'll be back, okay?" said Cherry, who thought that her son was really fond of his father.

"Okay!" sweetly replied Joe, nodding his head.

"Alright, you should fall asleep now, or you won't get up tomorrow, " said Cherry, while she tucked him in his blanket.

"Mommy, will you sleep in my room tonight?" asked Joe.

"Of course I will! I'll keep you company tonight, " softly said Cherry.

Derek noticed his facial expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Bobby, " replied Jackson. He felt puzzled why Bobby called him.

He eventually answered the phone.

"Speaking, " said Jackson in a cold tone.

"Mr. Jackson, are you busy?" said Bobby from the other end of the line.

"I'm listening, " briefly commanded Jackson.

"You've asked me to investigate into Jean Shen, and I have something for you regarding her. Can you come over now?" said Bobby.

Jackson paused for a while, and then said, "Okay."

After he hung up the phone, he immediately said to Derek, "Let's go and meet with Bobby."

When Derek heard him, he felt confused, and asked, "Right now? But didn't you promise Cherry that you'll go to the JS Group to meet her?"

Jackson stared at him with an angry gaze, and briefly said, "It's about Jean Shen."

He was sure that Derek would understand his words, because he knew him better than anyone else.
