Chapter 609 Her Secret (Part One)
Cherry ended the call with Lawrence and put the phone aside.
"What happened to Lawrence?" asked Jackson as he reached out encircling his arms around Cherry
and drawing her closer to him.
Rxing into hisforting arms, Cherry said,"I didn''t ask him specifics, but, it might have something
to do with a ssmate."
Concerned, Jackson wanted to know,"Is someone bullying him?"
Cherry shook her head and replied,"I don''t think so. I can''t imagine anyone bullying him, I think he is
just upset about something."
Jackson suddenly dered,"Anyone who dares to harass my son, is dead!"
Cherry looked up at Jackson and said,"Impulse, is a devil''s tool, you know that, right?"
Seeing Cherry''s eyes aze with anger, Jackson hastily said,"All right, all right. Don''t be mad at me,
please. I wasn''t gonna do anything, I was just saying it."
Jackson gazed at Cherry fondly, and leaned in to kiss her.
Cherry put her hand up, stopping him and said,"Honey, although we have wealth and power, I don''t
want Joe to grow into a heartless man. My hope is that he is grateful for what he has, but, keeps the
fire. I never want him to be ruthless or cold." It was her dream for her children. She knew better than
anyone how ferocious the fight in a noble family was. Therefore, she didn''t want to see her children
became those sort of people.
Jackson nodded his head agreeing,"Yes, I understand." He totally understood his wife. Actually, how
could he possibly not know her worries?
Cherry said,"Oh, thank you, Darling, for thinking like that," thrilled that Jackson could understand her
thoughts. Sometimes, he rushed into making business decisions, and some choices were cold. But,
she knew that he was not ruthless, there were times he was warm, and he knew how to deal with
things in a friendly way.
Jackson touched her cheek fondly saying,"You little fool, I''m your husband. Who else could understand
you better? Don''t overthink things, I know what your wishes for our children are, and I know how to
handle it."
Cherry nodded her head,"Okay." Over the years, Jackson was always with her, and came to know her.
She saw herself as the happiest woman in the world.
"We need to get to sleep early, tonight. I want to take you to see the ocean, tomorrow," as Jackson told
her his ns, he pulled Cherry to him with one hand and pulled the quilt up over them with his other.
"Okay. Good night," Cherry agreed, snuggling into his side, closing her eyes as she gradually fell
asleep.
Jackson stared at the sleeping Cherry and felt content. Her face, which had been young and smooth,
had fine lines under her eyes. Time had flown by, and her face was showing the effects. She had
always stood by him, and with her, he felt he had the whole world. Now their kids were growing up, and
he thought the family was the most important thing to him. No matter how busy he was at work, he
always took time to keep a happy family. He had a sweet, smiling wife, good son and mischievous
daughter. With them, he knew he could face and ovee anything. Maybe due to this woman, his life
was sofortable and happy.
Jackson knew Cherry was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
In the morning, Lawrence Chu''s clock went off, waking him from sound sleep. He rubbed his eyes as
he got out of bed, and went next door to wake his sister, Violet up.
While Violet dressed slowly, she unhappilyined,"Lawrence Chu, you''re so annoying. Why do
you insist on waking me up every morning?"
As Lawrence folded her quilt, he said,"Look, I don''t need to be bothered with this. If Mom were here,
she would wake you, but, she isn''t, so, I''m doing this for Mom."
"Lawrence, when you were little, did you sleep inte?" asked Violet. She was curious whether or not
her brother overslept.
"I''m not like you. I sleptte when I was in preschool, but, I''ve gotten up on time since I started primary
school. Mom praises me for my timeliness," Lawrence told her seriously. When he started elementary
school, he changed his habit of sleepingte.
"Liar! I don''t believe you!" Violet snapped waspishly as she finished dressing and ran off to the
bathroom to wash up.
Not able to think of an argument left Lawrence feeling helpless, but, at the same time, Lawrence
admired Violet''s gift for gab.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Sitting and eating breakfast in the dining room, Violet noticed the time and said,"Oh, I need to hurry up.
Aunt Amy will be here any minute, and it''ll be embarrassing if I am not ready to go."
Lawrence happily taunted,"Ha-ha! Just wait until Aunt Amy sees you. You won''t get up on time, and
take your time getting dressed and washing up, which makes youte and then you have to rush! Do
you realize the importance of punctuality yet?" ''Now this little girl will realize how much time she
wastes, '' Lawrence thought smugly.
"Lawrence, just shut up! Don''t you dare talk to me like that! I''m the queen in our family. You have no
right to educate me," Violet shot back, wiping her face with the napkin before quickly grabbing her
school bag and stating haughtily,"I''ll go wait for Aunt Amy at the gate, now."
Lawrence smiled watching his sister, Violet, making a hasty exit. He thought she was such a naughty
youngdy.
When Lawrence was done with his breakfast, Bill drove him to school.
On their way to school, Bill wasn''t sure if he was supposed to stop to pick the girl up in the alley. He
nced in the rear view at Lawrence, who was staring silently out the window.
"Umm, Lawrence, are we..." Before he finished the question, Lawrence interrupted,"Go straight to
school," Lawrence directed. He was still having mixed feelings about what his ssmates told him
yesterday, so, he decided against picking Reba up for school until he figured out the truth.
"Okay," Bill didn''t add anymore after catching a glimpse of Lawrence''s expression.
