When they reached their home, they knew their problems were over but they were still in shock. They all simply entered the house in silence, slumped down in the living room.
Jackson sat next to Cherry, tightly held her hand in his.
Jackson tucked Cherry's hair behind her ear and asked,"Are you feeling okay?"
Cherry nodded. "I'm okay." The situation earlier didn't faze her except for the part with Joe.
Cherry looked at Joe beside him and asked,"Joe, how did you know that was the Token?"
Cherry's voice was tight and confused. She was still unsure how her son knew. She wondered what else he knew.
Joe sensed Cherry was angry and hugged her. "Mommy."
Cherry used her angry voice and ordered Joe,"Tell me now."
Joe looked up at Cherry's eyes. "I know a lot of stuff about our family, Mommy. And I just guessed the pendants were the token, and I was right."
Jackson scratched his head. "How did you know these things about our family?" Jackson and Cherry have never discussed the Chu family with Joe. He certainly did not learn what he learned from them.
"My school is one of the best here, right, Mommy, Daddy? All my classmates know Daddy, and ever since Grandpa Andrew died, everyone has been talking about our family. All the stuff I know was learned from my classmates," Joe explained the truth to Jackson and Cherry. He couldn't lie to them, not after what everybody went through. Joe looked at Cherry while he said this and thought that Cherry was able to read his thoughts.
Cherry interrogated Joe,"So you secretly investigated our family by yourself?"
"Yes, Mommy," Joe answered and his head bowed down.
Cherry's temper flared and she removed her hand from Joe's. She avoided his eyes and looked down on the floor when she spoke,"Do you know how dangerous that was?"
Jackson stroked her back and tried to soothe and calm Cherry down, afraid of what the stress might do to her pregnant state. "It's okay, honey, don't get too angry. Thin
“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.
eved, if Eric turned against you, you would be able to overpower him."
Lily paused to smile at the Chu family. "Your Grandpa, he changed his mind when he saw the effect Cherry had on you. It changed you. You became better. You were no longer bossy and ruthless. And you learned to love the people and your family."
Derek realized what the Chu patriarch did. "That's why your Grandpa made that decision. He wants to give you the choice to choose. You can choose to give up all or some of the powers that you have." He understood what Lily said and what Andrew Chu did.
Lily nodded. She looked deep into Jackson's eyes,"Do you understand what happened today?"
Jackson nodded. He has always understood his Grandpa's decision since they were each other's closest confidants. Jackson knew what happened earlier and what has happened in the Chu house.
Cherry was still confused though. She turned to Lily with furrowed eyebrows. "But Lily, you-"
Lily lowered her eyes to the floor. "Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Cherry, I would like to apologize. I am very sorry for hiding all of this from you."
Jackson stared at Lily. "It was also your plan to be our nanny. Is that correct?" Jackson asked to know the truth.
Lily smiled at Jackson. "This was always your Grandpa's plan. And he made sure that it was kept secret."
