Chapter 507 Happy Family (Part One)
Wilson was waiting for Joe at the school gate.
Walking through the school gate, Joe noticed Wilson and happily ran to him.
Joe grabbed his hand, asking, "Uncle Wilson! What are you doing here?"
Chuckling at his cuteness, Wilson touched Joe''s head. "I''m here to pick up my little nephew, " he
replied. "Joe, your Daddy and Mommy are in your Grandma''s house. Let''s go there together, okay?"
Joe nodded, excited to see his grandparents. "Okay. I miss my grandparents. How have they been?"
he asked with concern.
"They''re fine, " Wilson assured him. "Your Grandma and Grandpa also miss you very much, so they''ve
asked me to pick you up from school. Let''s go. Get in the car and we''ll go."
"Okay, " Joe replied.
The pair got into Wilson''s car and drove away. Joe was watching the outside world go past in a blur
excitedly as they spoke.
Joe asked, "Uncle Wilson, why did my Daddy and Mommy go to my Grandpa''s house?"
"Your Mommy dearly misses your Grandma, but she doesn''t get to see her as often as she''d like. You
can always see your Mommy, but your Mommy can only see your Grandma once in a while, " Wilson
exined patiently.
Joe nodded, realising what his uncle meant. "Oh, that makes sense, " he agreed. "My Grandma is
Mommy''s Mommy, so my Mommy must miss her very much."
The intelligence of his nephew brought a smile to Wilson''s face. "You''re really smart, Joe. Yes, that''s
the reason."
"Of course, I''m the son of Cherry Shen, " Joe replied proudly. Then he suddenly realised that his
Mommy had taught him to never say her full name. Maybe it didn''t matter this time because it was only
in front of Uncle Wilson and Mommy wasn''t here.
ncing at his nephew in the rear-view mirror, Wilson grinned. "Wow! How dare you call your Mommy
by her full name!" he joked.
Joe smiled sweetly. "Hey-hey-hey, I only said it in front of you. I dare not say it in front of my Daddy and
Mommy. Mommy would be mad if I did."
"You''re a very naughty boy, " Wilson said,ughing. He thought about how wonderful if would be if he
and Selina could have such a cute son in the future.
Afraid his uncle would tell, Joe pretended to be miserable. "Uncle Wilson, could you please not tell
Mommy I did that? If you did, I would be punished ording to our family rules. Whenever Mommy
enforces the rules, Daddy always takes her side, no matter what. He never defends me. It gets lonely,
because no one helps me."

Suddenly interested in his sister''s family rules, Wilson asked, "Are your family rules harsh?"
"Not harsh, but Mommy always makes those decisions, " Joeined. "My Daddy just obeys her
and spoils her."
"Isn''t that good?" Wilson replied, with a smallugh. He never thought his sister would have so much
power in her family.
Joe started pretending to be helpless and pouted. "It''s not all that bad. But Daddy only ever spoils
Mommy. He dislikes me and always takes her away from me. It''s so hard because I have topete
with Daddy for Mommy''s attention."
Wilson was quite surprised by this. The more information Joe gave, the more curious Wilson grew. He
tried to keep his tone casual. "Really? That''s interesting."
Now pretending to be serious, Joe looked directly at the reflection of his uncle in the rear-view mirror.
"Right. Uncle Wilson, I can tell you. Every night when Mommy sleeps with me, Daddy gets furious. And
whenever Mommy and I disagree, Daddy will always tell me to listen to her. I''m really confused. Why
doesn''t he like me? Why does he always take Mommy''s side? Am I his son or not?"
"Joe, Cherry is your Mommy, your Daddy''s wife, " Wilson assured him, unable to stop himself from
Curiously, Joe decided to test Uncle Wilson, asking, "Will you also be partial to Aunt Selina after you
have a baby with her, Uncle Wilson?"
"Of course, " Wilson answered happily and quickly. Furrowing his brow, he realised he had been fooled.
"Joe, you tricked me into talking, " he said regretfully.
Joeughed. "No, no, no, " he replied. "I was just asking out of curiosity."
"Okay, Joe, you win, " Wilson conceded. "I don''t know what to say."
Looking at his Uncle Wilson, Joe smiled. "Uncle Wilson, it seems that you really love Aunt Selina.
That''s great." His Uncle was a good man, who loved his family, just like his Daddy.
"You''re a brilliant kid, " Wilson told him, smiling.
Joe happily said, "I''m brilliant because I inherited the best genes from my Mommy and Daddy. How
else could I be so clever?"
Nodding his head in agreement, Wilson chuckled. "That''s right. But Joe, you''re an old soul. You tricked
me just now, so how should I punish you?"
"Oh, don''t punish me, " Joe said quickly. "I hope you''ll marry Aunt Selina soon, " he changed the
subject. "I can''t wait for your wedding candies!" He wanted to turn his uncle''s attention away from his
Mommy and Daddy, by talking about his wedding with Aunt Selina. "And I hope Aunt Selina could..."
"Joe, " Wilson interrupted.
Joe asked seriously, "Yes, what?"
Wilson said with a smile, "Your wish wille true soon."
Joe screamed in excitement, "Really? You and Aunt Selina are getting married soon?"
"Yes, " Wilson replied. "You''ll hear more when we get there. Your Mommy and Daddy already know."
Joe cheered, "That''s great! Uncle Wilson, I hope you''ll have a great wedding."
"Thanks, Joe, " Wilson replied.
Trying to be casual, Joe nonchntly gestured. "Alright. If you want to thank me, you can give me a big
red packet at your wedding."
Chuckling at the kid''s cuteness and boldness, Wilson couldn''t refuse him. "Okay, I''ll give you a big red
packet then."
It wasn''t long before they pulled up in front of the house. They entered together and Joe saw his
Grandpa sitting in the living room. "Grandpa, Grandpa!" Joe eximed and ran to him.
