Ice and Fire

Seeing what happened, Andrew furiously glanced at Lucia, and scolded her, "Can't you just shut up?"

Lucia knew that Andrew was angry, and she lowered her head without saying another single word.

Although Jackson's eyes glittered with hate, he just stared at Lucia and didn't utter a word.

Selina gently patted Joe's shoulder, and said, "Joe, be a good boy now! Look at how many dishes are on the table, cooked just for you! Don't you think that it will be a waste of good food if you leave and don't take a bite out them?"

But Joe didn't pay any attention to Selina's words, and shouted, "Get that woman out of here!"

Everyone at the table was astonished. They didn't know what to do or what to say, and all the people put down their chopsticks on the table and fell silent. Even the housekeeper, who was standing beside them, felt shocked.

"What did you say? You..." Lucia then intended to say something, but failed when she saw the fury shining on Jackson's face.

Seeing that Cherry didn't say anything, John also kept silent.

After a while, Cherry caressed Joe's head, and in a calm and gentle tone, said, "Joe, be a good boy now, we came to see your Great-Grandpa. We have to finish our meal with him before we leave, do you understand?"

Joe then raised his head and looked at his mother. Judging from the look in her eyes, Joe understood that she was also struggling to endure the unhappy scene.

He nodded in a lovely way and then snuggled into his mother's arms, unwilling to go back to his own seat at the table.

Cherry knew what Joe was thinking about, but she didn't say a word and instead started to feed him.

"Joe, what do you want to eat? I'll feed you, " said Cherry.

"I'd like some fish, " replied Joe, pointing at one of the dishes close to them on the table.

Cherry then picked up a piece of fish, put it on the plate in front of her, and was about to feed him.

Suddenly, in a voice that seemed to be filled with sarcasm, Lucia said, "Like mother, like son!"

After she heard, Cherry couldn't bear it any more. That was the final drop that filled the glass more than full.
