Joe saw the car approaching them slowly.
"Dad, Mom, I see uncle!" he exclaimed.
Jackson and Cherry glanced at their son and then up at the car, seeing Derek in the driver's seat.
The car stopped by the small family and Selina got out. She hurried to Cherry, a delightful smile adorning her face.
"Cherry, I've missed you so much," Selina said, as she embraced Cherry tightly.
"You've finally come back! My unborn baby missed you," Cherry replied, reciprocating Selina's smile with a warm one of her own as she affectionately stroked Selina's arm.
Ending their embrace, Selina leaned down and put her ear to Cherry's pregnant belly. "Sweetheart, I'm back. Did you miss me?" she whispered tenderly.
The others laughed softly and smiled at Selina.
Cherry fixed her eyes on her brother. "Wilson, you must have had a wonderful honeymoon, right?" she asked. She had noticed the bright smiles shared by the newlyweds, assuring her that they must have had a great time.
"Yes, we did," Wilson answered smiling. "How have you been recently? Your due date is approaching, isn't it?"
"Yeah," Cherry answered.
Derek cut in,"Cherry has been well looked after. Nothing to worry about."
"Uncle, Uncle! I have taken care of mommy as well!" Joe broke in eagerly as he walked up to Wilson.
"I see. Joe is a good boy," Wilson responded with a jolly smile, picking Joe up.
"Well, let's get inside. Lily has prepared the food. We can eat soon," said Jackson.
"No time like the present, let's get inside," Wilson suggested.
Selina and Amy each held one of Cherry's hands and the three ladies walked inside together.
Cherry and Selina chatted eagerly, with the occasional addition from Amy. They seemed to have forgotten about the men.
Derek watched them talking in the hall. "Look at those three, they're completely ignoring us."
Wilson simply smiled.
"Perhaps Cherry has been bored at home these days and missed Selina dearly. She's probably begging Selina to tell her some interesting stories," Jackson responded, his eyes fixed on the woman he loved.
"Look at Cherry, she is so happy now," Wilson observed, glad to see his sister's bright smile.
"Cherry, you need to hear! We met so many weird p
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
ns," Derek replied. "First, Cherry's baby will be due soon. We'd like to have our wedding before Cherry's baby is born."
"And the second reason?" Selina asked. She was surprised to find that Derek had some secrets.
"The second reason is, well," Derek hesitated, fixing his eyes on Amy,"we will have our own baby."
Covering her mouth in disbelief, Selina exclaimed,"Wow, what a surprise!"
Cherry was amazed as well. 'I never heard this from Amy. If Derek hadn't mentioned this, I would never know it, ' she mused.
"I didn't expect you would have this good news so soon," Jackson responded. He smiled.
"Uncle Derek, does that mean you're having a baby too?" Joe asked. He looked sweetly at Derek, hoping he had understood what they meant.
"Yeah," Derek replied.
"That's good. So many little cousins and sisters and brothers! I will take good care of them!" Joe cried out delightedly. He looked at Wilson and Selina. "Uncle, Aunt, your turn next!"
"I, I..." Selina stammered for she didn't know how to respond. 'This little boy could think of these words. I don't know how to make a response, ' she thought.
They all continued their meal together, laughing and talking pleasantly.
Soon after lunch, Wilson and Selina left Jackson's villa. Upon reaching home, they saw Jacob and Elsa standing outside the gate.
"Dad, Mom, we're back!" Selina exclaimed, greeting them with a smile.
"Dad," Wilson greeted Jacob. He wore a warm smile and turned to Elsa,"Mom."
