Chapter 419 We Like Cherr (Part Two)

"I'm here, Auntie, " replied Joe. He knew that Jean must have something to tell him.

"It's because I have done something incorrect, and I received a swift retribution. I can never have a child of my own, " explained Jean. She didn't want to hide the truth from Joe.

Now it was Joe's turn to be surprised. As he looked at Jean, Joe quickly understood the real reason why Jean had treated him so well and had given him all of her affection. It was because she treated him as her own son, because she wasn't able to have a child of her own.

"Auntie, " called Joe in a small voice.

But Jean ignored him, and continued to say, "Joe, do you know that I made an error before you were born, an error which destroyed my marriage and irritated your Daddy and Mommy a great deal, especially your Mommy."

Jean felt guilty when she recalled of her sister five years ago. At that time, she had always thought that she had never done any wrong, but now she began to realize how foolish she had really been to do all of those bad things to her sister, Cherry.

Joe remembered that his Mommy had also told him about all of these things. He quickly thought about some of the events that had happened before he had been born, and wondered 'Was it the accident?'

"Is it about my sworn mother's accident?" said Joe.

"Sworn mother?" Jean echoed his words and then turned around to look at him.

"Her name was Emily. Mommy said that she had used to be her best friend, " answered Joe. He had always kept this name in his heart, and although he had never met his sworn mother Emily, he still loved her. He knew that his sworn mother held a very important place

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

hing that he didn't know.

Jean stared blankly ahead and continued to say, "If I had another chance, I would choose to protect my family, protect my parents, John, and... Cherr."

After a while, Jean gradually composed herself. She looked at Joe, and said, "Joe, I'm sorry that I couldn't control myself very well. Did I frighten you?"

Joe then suddenly held Jean in his little arms, and said in a soft voice, "Auntie, I want to hug you, is that okay?"

Joe really wanted to comfort his Auntie Jean, because his heart had ached when he had seen the sadness on her face. From her words and expression, he could see that his Auntie Jean didn't hate his Daddy or his Mommy anymore.

Jean tightly embraced Joe and her heart filled with happiness. How wonderful would it be if Joe was her boy, to take care of him and love him with all of her heart?

"Auntie, I know that my Mommy's nickname is Cherr. Daddy often calls her baby, because he loves her so much, but Grandmother calls her Cherr sometimes. Personally, I like Cherr better, " said Joe.

"Yes, " said Jean, "I like Cherr better too."
