Ice and Fire novel Chapter 190

Jackson then quickly dragged her into his arms, and said, "Okay, okay, I was just kidding! Nobody would ever dare to think of my woman."

Cherry didn't answer him, but thought in her mind, 'If only I could always feel happy and stay at his side like this! Oh, my heart doesn't deceive me, and I really love him! If nobody else would bother us, and he and I could always be at peace like now, then we would definitely live in happiness forever and ever!'

In the afternoon, when Joe came back from school and arrived home, he immediately shouted, "Mommy! Mommy! I'm back!"

Cherry entered the living room from the balcony and saw that her son was running towards her. She then happily opened her arms to welcome him back home.

After she tightly hugged her son, with a smile on her face, she asked, "Joe, how was your day at school?"

"Just fine, " childishly answered Joe, who then suddenly left Cherry's arms, and continued, "But, a girl confessed her love to me today."

Cherry immediately felt astonished. A five-or-six-year-old girl, had "confessed her love"?

"What...what had happened?" asked Cherry.

"She said that I'm really good-looking, and that she loves me, " earnestly said Joe.

Cherry couldn't help herself and burst out into laughter. She covered her mouth with her hand and couldn't say a word more.

"Mommy, what are you laughing at?" asked Joe. He felt confused, and he couldn't understand why his Mommy was laughing.

"My little boy, do you think that you are good-looking?" asked Cherry, smiling at him.

"Of course! Uncle Wilson has also said that I'm very handsome! I could even be more handsome than Daddy!" proudly answered Joe. He had never felt unsatisfied with his appearance.

"Right, right, nobody's more handsome than my lovely son!" said Cherry as she patted Joe's head. Still smiling, she continued, "However, you're still too young to have a girlfriend. You have to study hard now, do you understand?"

"I know that. Don't worry, I won't fool around with women like Daddy does, " casually said Joe.

After Cherry heard Joe's words, she saw that Jackson was just stepping downstairs, and her grin immediately froze on her face.

"Who said that I was fooling around with women?" asked Jackson with a cold face.

Joe also erased his smile and turned around to see Jackson.

Cherry quickly stepped towards the stairway. When Jackson arrived downstairs, she pulled his arm, and said, "He's just talking nonsense, why do you have to get angry?" Her tone was very soft.

Jackson glanced at Cherry, and then stared at his son who was stepping towards him. He thought, 'What a boy! How dare he say such words about his own father!'

Cherry then hastily winked at her son.

Joe immediately understood her, and he walked up to them and took Jackson's hand in his. He then said, "Daddy, when I went to the JS Group before, I heard that many women there were fond of you."

Cherry was startled by his words. She knew that he was right, that many of her colleagues in the JS Group were attracted by Jackson, and that they were always secretly gossiping about him, but she hadn't expected that Joe would say it so plain and simple in front of Jackson.

As he looked at his son, Jackson calmly said, "You know quite a lot for a little boy." He then suddenly thought that it was interesting to talk with him, and that he was quite observant, despite of his young age.

"Of course I do! Daddy, a girl at my school confessed her love to me today. Do you think I'm also fooling around with women?" said Joe as he stared at Jackson with an innocent look in his eyes.

When Jackson saw how lovely his son was, he even felt too late to love him, how could he have the heart to be angry with him?

Jackson then suddenly pulled Cherry into his arms in front of Joe. He then leaned over her ear, and said, "So, this is our son who's been brought up by you all alone in the past five years, right?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" said Cherry with an indignant look on her face. She thought, 'I've brought up Joe by myself with great efforts, there's no reason for him to feel unsatisfied with Joe!'

"How could you bring him up to be so lovely?" earnestly asked Jackson while he looked at Cherry and felt happy in his heart. He was also very fond of Joe too, who was just as lovely as his wife was.

Cherry's eyes then became as big as saucers when she heard Jackson's question, and after she recovered, a smile appeared on her face. She patted on her lovely baby's head, and said to Jackson, "He's playful and lovely; you'll gradually get used to him."

Joe then watched his Daddy and Mommy talking intimately, but he couldn't hear a word of what they were saying.

"What're you talking about?" curiously asked Joe. 'Do all the adults in front of children have to show that they have secrets?' he wondered.

"Nothing serious, " quickly replied Cherry.

"We were saying that if you had a younger sister, would she be as lovely as you are?" said Jackson. He observed his son's appearance and facial expressions, and felt that he couldn't love him more.

"A younger sister?" replied Joe, astonished. He took a quick glance at Jackson, and then he looked at Cherry, and asked, "Will I be having a younger sister?"

Cherry, pretending to be angry, gave Jackson a playful punch, and cast an angry stare to him. She then looked at Joe, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Joe is Mommy's only baby!"

"You should ask for my permission if you want a younger sister for me, " complacently said Joe.

"Joe, what did you say?" asked Cherry, putting on a serious look on her face.

Joe promptly lowered his head, and said, "Oh, forget about it."

When Jackson looked at his wife and son, his heart was already filled with happiness.
