Chapter 545 Infant Matrimony (Part Two)


    Meanwhile, Cherry and Jackson also got up from their seat to greet Amy. Cherry looked at his son''s


    teacher and asked tenderly,"So Amy, how is Joe doing in ss? Is he making progress?"


    "Yes Cherry, Joe is doing pretty well. He is a diligent boy and a quick learner. I''m sure he''ll do well. In


    fact, I have nned to arrange piano grading tests for him, once he joins primary school." Amy looked


    at the boy lovingly and thought how good he was at ying the piano. All he needed was keen


    attention and a lot of practice and he could do big things.


    "That sounds awesome! Thank you so much Amy!" gushed Cherry. The news of her son doing so well


    had an immediate effect on her mood.


    "Aww, Cherry, please don''t mention it. And don''t shower me with all these formalities. It feels like I am a


    stranger in this house," Amy said hastily. She and Cherry had been such close friends for so long, it


    was almost like she was family.


    Derek echoed Amy''s sentiment,"Absolutely Cherry. Joe is my sworn son and I love him like he was my


    own son. If something is good for his future, we will do everything we can to make it happen."


    Cherry nced at Jackson and looked back at the couple. "Alright, if there is no need for thanks, then I


    won''t say it."


    "Cherry, it feels as if you still think of us as strangers and not as family. You need to grow up and stop


    acting like a child!" Derek said yfully.


    "Derek, if you don''t behave, I will give you a good spanking, too," said Cherry, yfully pretending to


    scold Derek as if he was a child.


    "Hah, well okay," Derek turned to face the other side, offering his cheek to Cherry. He knew that Cherry


    had been pampered so much by Jackson, there was no way he was going to win an argument with her.


    ''Better to avoid them if I cannot defeat them.'' thought Derek.


    "It seems like you have be much more stubborn Derek, after you received your marriage


    certificate with Amy," Cherry said mischievously.


    "Well of course! She is now my wife and I love her so much. In fact, I was thinking if we should get our


    children married. The child in your tummy and Amy''s and mine could enter infant matrimony, don''t you


    think?" said Derek proudly.


    Cherry and Jackson were both taken aback, shocked. They looked at each other and then gave Amy


    and Derek a confused look,"So does that mean that you two... ...have had your own baby?"


    Amy blushed, turning crimson with embarrassment and anger. "No!" she denied. "Derek, what are you


    talking about! What baby? Not at all."


    Seeing Amy so angry, Derek immediately traced his steps back. He was afraid that Amy might be


    angry at him and so exined,"No, no that is not what I meant. I mean you have a baby now and then


    when we have a baby someday, we will get them two married," Derek rified. These days he had


    loved spending time with Amy and had been sleeping at her apartment. If she was angry, he would


    have had to sleep in his own ce. And he did not want to be away from her.


    Cherry felt relieved and sighed,"Oh, that way. Yes well, we''ll see about that. If my child is a girl and


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    yours is a boy, we''ll get them married then."


    Cherry nced at Jackson as she spoke and asked for his opinion,"What do you think, honey?"


    Jackson smiled and said,"Well I think it would be fantastic. Our child''s inws will be the bosses of the


    assets of JS Group. I think we must y it up to them right away. After all, they say one should always


    keep the rich waters in one''s own field." He looked at Cherry and smiled.


    "Oh,e on Jackson. Thest thing you need right now is money. Stop eyeballing the assets of JS


    Group now," Derek whined yfully. For a man of Jackson''s status, money was a heap of notes. He


    was already very rich and powerful and did not have to even think of the assets of JS Group.


    "So what? Can''t I do it?" Cherry said mischievously. She loved troubling Derek and bickering with him.


    "You approached us with the offer of infant matrimony with my baby, didn''t you?


    So now tell me, how many shares of JS Group will you give as betrothal presents?" Not to be outwitted


    by Cherry, Derek took an aim at JC Group''s assets.


    But just then, Joe eximed,"No! JC Group is mine! I won''t give it." JC Group was his father''s property


    and therefore would end up with him. He didn''t want to share it with anyone.


    Everyoneughed when they heard those words. Joe''s innocence was adorable, because he didn''t


    understand the yful banter and instead thought that someone was going to snatch JC group away


    from his Daddy.


    Cherry put her hand gently on Joe''s head and said,"Of course my son. JC Group is yours, okay?


    Nobody will take it from you."


    "Haha, oh, Joe! Take it easy, alright? Nobody is going to dare to try and take JC Group away from you,"


    said Amy.


    "I am willing to give JC Group only to my brother or sister. But if I have to give it to my his or her


    spouse, then I''ll have to think about it properly." Joe was now speaking directly to Derek. He had heard


    Derek say that he would not give up JS Group to his sibling, so then why should he hand over his


    Group to someone else.


    "Joe, how about this? How about I give JS Group to your sister?" Derek said to Joe gently. He was


    impressed by the boy''s smartness and his attitude of not giving up.


    "Then I will give up JC Group to my brother-inw!" Joe was smiling again at the thought of it.


    "Alright then. Deal done,"


    said Derek. Everybodyughed till their stomachs hurt and their eyes watered.
