Chapter 548 Grand Wedding (Part Three)


    As Mond saw Derek and Jackson walk away, he approached Cherry and Amy.


    "What are you two beauties talking about here?" He sat next to Cherry and his eyes darted towards


    Amy, whom he was staring at with a smile on his face.


    Suddenly Joe trotted in and grabbed Mond by his arm. "How are you, Uncle Mond?" he said.


    "Hi! Little Guy! How are you? I''m sure you must be very excited today with all the gifts you have


    received," Mond was yfully teasing Joe. But it was true. Joe was really happy today because he


    received a lot of gifts today from people and he wasn''t expecting it at all.


    Joe happily raised his head and proudly dered,"Yes! I have received a lot of gifts today!"


    Amy, who was sitting next to Joe chimed in,"Joe should be dered the winner today!"


    Cherry smiled happily. "Well, Joe has been looking forward to the wedding and counting days. That is


    why he looks like the cat that got the canary!"


    Mond lovingly stretched a hand out to straighten Joe''s shirt and asked him,"So Joe, do you have any


    good wishes for Aunt Selina and Uncle Wilson on their wedding?"


    "Yes, of course I do!" Joe said. He stood straight and with a serious expression on his face repeated


    what he had just said to Selina and Wilson,"I told them that I wanted them to have a baby as soon as


    possible because I wanted a cousin to y with."


    Both Cherry and Amy burst intoughter at this.


    Mond put on a straight face and nodded at Joe. "I believe your wish will be fulfilled soon Joe."


    "Oh, Mond. Don''t make fun of Joe. He is extremely smart and intelligent," said Amy, smiling at the boy.


    She had been time and again blown over by the little boy''s charming smartness and his IQ and EQ


    both!


    "Is that so?" Mond turned to Cherry, looking surprised.


    Cherry didn''t answer Mond''s question; instead she pursed her lips and said,"Joe, go find your


    Grandma and ask her to y with you."


    "Yes Mommy. I''ll go look for my Grandma." With these words, Joe released his grasp on Mond''s arm


    and darted to look for his beloved grandmother.


    As he looked at Joe''s little departing figure, Mond felt a gush of love for the boy. He had been moved


    by his innocence, childishness and quick thinking. He loved Joe from the bottom of his heart.


    But then he suddenly remembered and asked,"Where are Jackson and Derek?" Cherry recalled having


    seen both Derek and Jackson sitting in the nearby corner with Mond earlier. But only Mond came to


    them and the other two men did note, and now they were nowhere to be seen.


    "I see a lot of their political and military acquaintances here today. Perhaps they went to go greet them


    personally," said Mond nonchntly.


    Amy whined in a piqued voice,"Why don''t they spend time with us instead? It is a wedding after all. Are


    those friends more important than us?"


    "For a man, his work is of utmost importance," said Cherry. She was also a little agitated because


    Jackson had left her in a crowded and noisy ce like this, to go meet his friends. He didn''t even think


    of the fact that she was pregnant.


    Amy heard the disappointment in Cherry''s voice and tried to console her,"Oh, no Cherry. Don''t be mad


    at him. He hasn''t been gone for too long and he''ll be back soon. You know how well he has been


    looking after you, so just forgive him this once. If you worry so much, it is bad for the baby."


    "No! No! I''m not angry at all. My children are of utmost importance to me. Jackson isn''t important to me


    at all. He can do whatever he wants and meet whoever he wants," Cherry said, a hint of annoyance in


    her voice. But in her heart, she was thinking, ''Oh Jackson, where are you? Why aren''t you by my side?''


    Mond was right there, listening to their conversation. He realized that women were extremely moody


    and their emotions were simply not stable. He was getting bored of all the women-talk now.


    Suddenly Amy said,"Oh, by the way Cherry, I have amazing news to share! Derek and I will soon live


    near you after we get married."


    "Have you bought a vi as your matrimonial home?" Cherry knew this was the only way they were


    going to live near them. Cherry and Jackson lived in an area of vis and living near them would mean


    that they had bought a vi too.


    Amy''s happiness was now beyond the clouds as she said excitedly,"Yes! The furnishing and design is


    almostplete. Just a few final touches. Derek has given me the keys. I''m so happy!"


    The first thing Cherry could think of was her son''s education. "Oh that is brilliant, Amy! So now you can


    just walk over to give Joe his piano lessons. And when he is old enough and goes to elementary


    school, maybe he can go and take piano lessons at your home all by himself!"


    "Yes, that''s exactly what I was thinking. When we move in and have everything ready, we will talk about

    it," Amy said.


    "Okay," Cherry nodded. She then noticed Mond sitting next to her, getting bored.


    She saw his dull eyes and thought,"Oh what a good man, he must be really bored listening to me and


    Amy go on with our women talk. He is so polite that he did not interrupt us out of respect."


    But Cherry''s expression changed, as she thought about Mond. He had been living in his vi all alone,


    since Jean died. She wondered if he thought about Jean time and again. Mond had been living alone,


    and it must be so lonely for him. Had Jean been alive, his life would be so much easier...
