Ice and Fire

That night, while Cherry and Joe were lying together in bed, Joe looked at the pendant on his chest, and asked, "Mommy, how much does this cost?"

Cherry earnestly said, "Joe, no matter how much it's worth, it's your Great-Grandpa's present for you, so you must cherish it and keep it well."

"Okay! I will, Mommy!" happily replied Joe.

"That's right! We don't have to care about how much money they cost; we just need to know that they symbolize the Chu Family, and that we need to cherish them because of that, " said Cherry.

Joe nodded, and then changed the topic. He said, "Mommy, will Daddy come back home tomorrow?"

Cherry thought, 'When Jackson called me in the afternoon, he only told me that he wouldn't come back tonight, but he didn't say when he would come back...'

She honestly said, "I don't know, either. What's the matter? Do you miss your Daddy?"

"Yes. I hope that he'll come back home as soon as possible, and then we can go and visit Grandma Elsa and Grandpa Jacob in the weekend!" said Joe.

"Don't worry, Joe, Mommy'll call your Daddy tomorrow and ask him when he'll be back, okay?" said Cherry, who thought that her son was really fond of his father.

"Okay!" sweetly replied Joe, nodding his head.

"Alright, you should fall asleep now, or you won't get up tomorrow, " said Cherry, while she tucked him in his blanket.

"Mommy, will you sleep in my room tonight?" asked Joe.

"Of course I will! I'll keep you company tonight, " softly said Cherry.

"Okay, I wanna sleep in Mommy's arms." said Joe, who then tightly hugged his Mommy and closed his eyes.

Cherry watched her lovely son fall asleep as she switched off the bedside lamp. She then tightly embraced him and also quickly fell asleep.

Although there was still a gap between ZM and JS, Selina was still very worried, because the ZM Group's development was much faster than she had expected it to be, and she hadn't informed Jackson about its existence yet.
