Chapter 418 We Like Cherr (Part One)

In a private room of a high-class restaurant, Jean and Joe sat and enjoyed their meal together.

Staring at the sweet boy who was sitting next to her, Jean asked him in a gentle tone, "Didn't your Mommy take you out lately to have some delicious food?"

"She did, but I still wanted to eat with you, Auntie, " replied Joe.

He looked up at her from his bowl, and continued to ask, "Auntie, what have you been doing lately?"

"Nothing. I'm free these days, " answered Jean.

"Oh, Auntie, have you read the news today? It seems that something happened to Auntie Selina's company." After he finished uttering his words, Joe still kept his eyes on Jean, because he wanted to see her reaction and calculate what was about to happen next.

Jean couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and asked surprised, "Do you know about that too?"

"Yes, it's headline news. How could I not know about it?" said Joe, and nodded.

"Joe, that's something that concerns the adults. You don't need to worry about any of it, " said Jean. She had no intention of telling any of these things to Joe, because he was still just a small boy.

"But Auntie Selina is the closest person to my Daddy and Mommy, and I'm still worried for her. What will happen to Auntie Selina now?" asked Joe.

When she saw Joe's worried face, Jean suddenly seized his hand, and said with concern in her voice, "Joe, listen to me, you really don't have to worry about that. The true target of the ZM Group is not your Auntie Selina."

"It's my Daddy, right?" Joe eventually couldn't help himself from asking.

"Have you known about that all along?" Jean was astonished, because she had never expected that he would ask her such a question. 'Does Joe know everything about what's really going on?' wondered Jean.

"Yes. I know that there's some bad blood between the man called Mond and my Daddy. He even tried to approach my Mommy to have his revenge on my Daddy, " said Joe, and after he paused for a moment,

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

you want to ask me?" said Jean with a smile on her face.

Joe stared at Jean boyishly, and asked her, "Auntie, why do you treat me so well?"

Jean's face immediately changed when she heard Joe's question. She then smiled again, and focussed all of her attention on answering Joe's question. "Because I love kids, " she said, "I always feel happy and at ease when I see small kids."

Gazing into Jean's eyes, Joe felt that she had been very conscientious when she had answered his question, and that every sentence and even every word that she said had been filled earnest to the brim. It seemed that Jean was older than his Mommy, so she should have had a kid too.

"Auntie, you're older than my Mommy, but why don't you have a kid?" asked Joe.

After she heard Joe's words, a cold shiver suddenly ran down Jean's spine. She then suddenly moved her hands away from Joe and stood up. After she turned her back to him, she silently started to gaze at the nearby flowering shrubs in the park.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" asked Joe. He felt confused, because Jean's act and expression had showed him that something had gone wrong with her, but Joe still couldn't figure out what was the exact reason for that.

Jean didn't speak a word anymore.

Much time later, Jean finally broke her silence, and said "Joe."
