Cherry walked to the second floor. She slowly opened the door of Joe's room. Her little boy, Joe was still sleeping. Cherry walked to him and called his name, "Joe, Joe, it's time to get up now."
"Mommy, " called Joe in a small and sleepy voice. Then he pulled himself upright on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes. "Have the guests arrived?" asked Joe.

"Okay, then I will go downstairs first. don't forget to wash your face and teeth before going down to get breakfast." Cherry reminded her son.
"Okay, " Joe nodded.
Joe put on his clothes and made his bed. Satisfied that his bed was neatly made, he then opened his window curtains. The small figure took a moment to admire the garden view outside his window. Finally, he headed to the bathroom to wash up.

Jackson turned his head to look at Cherry, then he said, "Our son is a gifted comedian. He is a natural. We couldn't help laughing with his jokes."

Without any notice, the door of the living room suddenly opened. The Butler walked in, looked at Andrew and announced, "Mr. Andrew, Ms. Lucia has arrived."
