Chapter 756 This Is Our Secret
"Jerry, I''ve made your favorite c chicken wings. Come over and eat." Jaqueline smiled warmly as
she said to Jerry. She wasn''t offended by Jerry''s words.
"I don''t like to eat your food. I only like to eat the food cooked by my mother." Jerry''s face creased as
he angrily said, "You''re not my mother, so I''m not going to eat your food."
Jaqueline''s face looked pained.
She understood that Jerry was very resistant to her.
He was still a kid. She firmly believed that one day, he was going to ept her. She just needed to be
patient and sincere to him. Then, he would be moved.
"Come, let''s have dinner. We''ve been busy all day. Jerry is leaving for Ennd tomorrow. We''re going
to have a nice dinner today." Paige quickly tried to ease the awkward situation with a smile.
Calvin did not say much and did not even look at Jaqueline. He carried Jerry over to the dining room
and sat down.
Hudson did note over to Capital City. However, Paige decided to bring Jerry over to Capital City to
get him to spend time with his father before he left for Ennd. She would take care of Jerry while
Calvin was at work.
What made Jerry unhappy was that ever since they arrived at Capital City, Paige had been constantly
inviting Jaqueline, who had malicious intentions to steal his father away, over to their house.

"Jerry, I''m going to apany you to ''drink'' today. We''re going to have a father and son bonding
session. We''re not going to stop until one of us gets drunk, how about that?" In order to dispel Jerry''s
worries, Calvin took the initiative to persuade him to ''drink'' when he saw his son''s face was full of
displeasure.
When Jerry heard that they were going to drink, he immediately became excited. The unhappiness in
his heart disappeared in an instant, and he immediately cried out happily, "Okay, Dad, I''ll toast you."
Just as Calvin was about to put him down on the floor, he wrapped his hand around Calvin''s neck and
whispered in his ear, "Daddy, remember what I said. I don''t want our rtionship to be severed."
"This boy!"
"This was clearly a threat!"
However, Calvin loved it when Jerry acted like this. At the very least, he knew that his son loved and
wanted to protect Belle. He was very proud of him! He was filial!
"I know, don''t worry," Calvin replied quietly.
"What are you two whispering to each other? Are we not allowed to know?" Paige asked with a smile
when she saw the father and son whispering to each other.
Jerry was actually treating Paige as an outsider. She felt a little helpless.
Jerry was full of confidence this time after Calvin reassured him.
"This is between me and Daddy. You don''t have to worry about it." Jerry waved a dismissive hand as
he sat down beside Calvin. He reached out and picked up a bottle of soft drink and forcefully
unscrewed the cap.
"Come on, Daddy. Let''s toast to our secret." Jerry then ced one bottle in front of his father. Calvin
immediately picked up the bottle with a smile and clinked it with Jerry. "Cheers!"
The sound of the bottle clinking rang through the air. After that, they each took a gulp at the same time.
Of course, they were just drinking soft drinks.
Jerry was still too young to drink. Naturally, Calvin would not allow him near any alcohol.
"Jerry, you have to study hard when you''re in Ennd. I wille to check on your progress every
once in a while. Don''t go back on your word, or Mommy is going to be unhappy when she sees you,"
Calvin said seriously after he emptied the contents in his bottle.
Jerry patted his chest and said, "Don''t worry, Daddy, leave it to me. I will be mightier than you in the
future. At the very least, I will be able to protect my woman."
That time, even Paige, who was next to him, was amused by him.
Jerry med Calvin for Belle''s death. Heined that he had failed to protect his mother.
Therefore, he would use this incident to criticize him from time to time. Paige sighed when she heard
his words.
As for Calvin, he never opposed what Jerry said to him. That was because he himself felt that he was
not worthy of being a good husband and father.
The corners of Calvin''s mouth lifted slightly when he sensed Jerry''s righteous expression. He did not
"Calvin, isn''t it a little harsh for you to send Jerry over to Ennd at such a young age?" Paige asked
as she entered Calvin''s study after dinner. She was concerned about Jerry''s well-being.
Calvin was sitting on the couch, nursing a cup of tea. He raised his eyebrows when he heard his
mother''s voice.
"Mom, it''s best to cultivate good lifelong habits at a young age. Moreover, Jerry is old enough to live on
his own. Besides, I will be spending more time in Srirano. I will not have the time to take care of him.
Your health isn''t very good either. I think it''s time for him to cultivate good habits and cut out the bad
ones as soon as we can," Calvin said rationally.
Paige felt a wave of sadness when she heard this. "Calvin, does it mean you''re going to leave me too?"
Paige''s heart was filled with unspeakable difort when she heard that Calvin would be spending
time in Srirano. She had been suffering from all sorts of illnesses during the past year due to her old
age. Her body was not as strong as before, especially after being pushed down the stairs by Liya. She
had been getting very emotional those days.
However, what worried her the most was that her only son was still single and did not have a woman by
his side to take care of him.
"Mom, I need to go there for work. I wille back to visit you. Don''t worry about me." Calvin quickly
The initially shrewd and strong Paige was getting older each day. Calvin''s heart felt very ufortable
and his mood was extremelyplicated.
Paige took the opportunity to approach her son when she heard hisforting words. She noticed how
patient he was. She reached out for his hand and said, "Calvin, you are my only son. I will not be happy
if you don''t live well. Our Harvey family may be rich and powerful, but we don''t have many
descendants. Right now, we only have Jerry. Do you remember Grandma''s wish when she was alive?
Her wish was for the children of the Harvey family to flourish and prosper."
Paige brought up Sophia in an attempt to persuade Calvin to help him get out of this passive state of
mind. She wanted him to start a new family and a new life.
Calvin raised his eyes as the loving expression of his grandmother appeared in his mind. His heart
trembled as he said with great strain, "Mom, don''t worry. I will do my best to help the Harvey family
prosper. I will bring the Harvey Group back to its former glory."
Paige understood his words. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
