Chapter 508 Happy Family (Part Two)


    Jacob happily picked up his grandson and embraced him fondly. "My little Joe, you''re finally here."


    Joe looked at his Grandpa seriously, asking, "How are you these days, Grandpa? I really miss you."


    "Fine, fine, I''m good, " Jacob reassured him. He was proud to see his grandson, albeit just a little kid,


    cared deeply about other people. That was most certainly because Cherry had educated Joe well at


    home.


    "That''s great, " Joe said, beaming. "Where''s Grandma?"


    "Your Grandma is in the kitchen now. Let''s go, " Jacob replied. "I''ll take you to your Grandma."


    Nodding, Joe said, "Okay."


    "Grandma, I''m here!" Joe eximed as they entered the kitchen together.


    Elsa''s face lit up with the sound of her grandson''s voice. "Joe, you naughty boy, why has it taken you


    so long toe see me? I''ve missed you badly!"

    Joe replied, smiling, "Really? Well, I''ll just ask Mommy and Daddy to bring me to see you whenever


    they have time. Is that okay, Grandma?"


    "Okay, okay, " Elsa chuckled. "You go and y in the living room. I''ll cook something for you and call


    when it''s ready."


    "Okay, I know, " he answered.


    "Take Joe out of here, " Elsa suggested to Jacob. "There''s grease spitting around."


    Jacob agreed.


    Leading the way out of the kitchen, Jacob turned to Joe. "Go to the living room first, I''ll go wash some


    fruits for you."


    Joe nodded.


    Running back to the living room, he saw his Daddy talking to his uncle. Joe decided he wanted to be


    with his Daddy, so he ran straight to him and buried his head in Daddy''s arms.


    "Daddy, where is Mommy?" Joe asked.


    Jackson looked down at the kid in his arms, gently replying, "She is upstairs with your Aunt Selina. Do


    you want to go upstairs and find them there?"


    "No, " Joe said firmly. "They''re women and I don''t understand what they talk about. We men will talk


    together." He was decidedly not kidding.


    Wilson and Jackson were taken aback by this bold deration from Joe.


    "Joe, do you detest your Mommy, now?" Wilson asked, testing the boy. He wanted to see how Joe


    would answer this question.


    Joe snuggled into his Daddy''s arms. "No, I just feel that what Mommy and Aunt Selina talk about is


    very boring. It''s more interesting to be with you, Daddy."


    "Aren''t you always following your Mommy around?" Jackson asked, confused. He wondered what was


    wrong with Joe today. It was astonishing for Joe to act so adorably for him.


    Joe replied, "Aren''t you always asking me not to cling to Mommy so much?"


    "Well, you can stay here and talk with us then, " Jackson replied.


    Wilsonughed, watching the father and son interact.


    A new question urred to Wilson. "Joe, your Mommy is expecting a new child, " he spoke up. "What


    do you think it will be, a girl, or a boy?"


    Joe paused to consider Wilson''s question. "Well, I am a boy. So it will probably be a girl. But it doesn''t


    matter if it''s a girl or boy, I''ll love my baby sibling. I''ll be a responsible and good big brother, and take


    good care of it."


    Raising an eyebrow at his young son, Jackson asked, "Really? But you''re still a little boy, needing your


    mommy to take care of you. How can you look after your little brother or sister?" Jackson thought of


    every night that Joe had had Cherry sit with him till he fell asleep. Only when Joe was asleep did


    Cherry ever return to their own bedroom.


    It wasn''t hard to figure out what his Daddy meant. Joe was very smart after all. "Daddy, I know what


    you mean. You want Mommy all to yourself and you don''t want Mommy to split her attention by taking


    care of me."


    Jackson waspletely taken aback this time. He couldn''t even speak.


    But Wilsonughed heartily at his clever nephew.


    "But Daddy, I''ll learn how to be independent really quickly. Mommy always thinks that she is supposed


    to look after me. Even if I ask her not to, she won''t listen to me. She worries about me, " Joe continued.


    Regaining the ability to speak, Jackson gazed at his little boy. "Once the baby is born, your Mommy will


    take care of the baby, and I''ll look after you, " Jackson promised. ''I''ll let him do whatever he wants. As


    my son, he should have no limits. Even if he makes trouble, I''ll support and help him. He''ll be fine. My


    only obstacle: if Cherry doesn''t allow it.''


    Joe quickly shook his head. "Never mind. I''ll take care of myself, my Mommy and the baby, " he


    disagreed. ''I''d rather die if I will have to be taken care of by my father, '' he worried. ''Daddy doesn''t care


    what I do at all, but Mommy does. So I believe that I should listen to her.''


    Wilson asked, covering his concern with a smile, "Why? "Wouldn''t it be good if your Daddy looked after


    you?"


    "No, " Joe replied matter-of-factly.


    Before Jackson or Wilson could respond, Jacob came in with a te of fruit.


    Joe hastened to his Grandpa. "Grandpa, " he whined, "Uncle Wilson and Daddy are being mean to


    me."


    Joe pouted and put on a sad face, pretending to be injured. He shot a quick grin at Wilson and


    Jackson.


    Sighing, Jacob looked mock-seriously at the men. "How could you do that to a kid? You''re grown men.


    You''re supposed to be protecting him, not bullying him. Are you adults or not?" He turned to his young


    grandson. "Joe, they won''t do that again. Please don''t be mad at them, " he entreated.


    "Well, if they tease me again, Grandpa will you protect me?" Joe quickly replied.


    "Okay, okay, " Jacob promised, "I''ll protect you."


    Confident that he had won, Joe smiled adorably at his uncle and daddy.
