"Alright, alright, " immediately said Cherry, "The two of us will go back to our room. Don't touch Joe, just let him sleep here."
Jackson was satisfied with Cherry's words and left Joe alone.
After she carefully tucked him, Cherry got out of bed and left the room with Jackson.
In their bedroom, Jackson threw Cherry on his bed and savagely got on top of her.
"How could you let Joe touch your breasts!" asked Jackson with a distressed look in his eyes.
"He's our son, Jackson! He was around ever since the day he was born. What do you think?" said Cherry, as she stared at Jackson, who was jealous on their son.
"Then let me touch them too! Let me check if they're bigger or not!" said Jackson while he started his initiative on her.
"Jackson, you wretch! Don't touch there!"
"You're my woman! Is there any place on your body that I can't touch?"
"Be careful."
"Baby, when do you buy this pink underpants?"
"Jackson, you..."
In the morning, Cherry got up early, and she went back to her own room to wake Joe up for school.
After Joe washed himself and went downstairs, he saw that his daddy was exercising in the yard. He then happily ran to his father and joined him in his morning exercises.
Cherry helped Lily with the breakfast, and after she finished, she found that neither Jackson nor Joe were in the dining room. She then quickly went upstairs to look for them, but they weren't there either. When she walked downstairs again, she saw that Jackson and Joe were happily doing exercises together, and Cherry felt both happy and surprised because of that. When caught sight of Joe's sweet smile on his face, also Cherry smiled, because as long as her son was happy, she was also satisfied.
Cherry then went into the yard, and said, "Hurry up, come and eat your breakfast! Joe, you're going to be late for school!"
"Okay, mommy, " said Joe in his childish tone.
The three of them then had their breakfast in the dining room. Cherry said to her son, "Joe, remember to study hard at school and to follow your teacher's words; and don't be naughty!"
"Yes, Mommy, I already know that. Was there anytime when I didn't listen to your words?" asked Joe while he had his breakfast.
Hearing what Joe said, Cherry didn't say anything more to him.
Jackson suddenly held her hands, and said, "He doesn't need your care, don't worry. Just focus all of your attention onto me in the days ahead."
Joe got nervous when he saw his daddy showing his love to his mommy, and immediately said, "Mommy, mommy, I do need your care! Trust me, I'll listen to our teacher's words and study hard."
Cherry looked at Jackson, and then turned her eyes to Joe. She had no idea about who she should answer first, but she eventually chose her son.
