Ice and Fire novel Chapter 204

Seeing what happened, Andrew furiously glanced at Lucia, and scolded her, "Can't you just shut up?"

Lucia knew that Andrew was angry, and she lowered her head without saying another single word.

Although Jackson's eyes glittered with hate, he just stared at Lucia and didn't utter a word.

Selina gently patted Joe's shoulder, and said, "Joe, be a good boy now! Look at how many dishes are on the table, cooked just for you! Don't you think that it will be a waste of good food if you leave and don't take a bite out them?"

But Joe didn't pay any attention to Selina's words, and shouted, "Get that woman out of here!"

Everyone at the table was astonished. They didn't know what to do or what to say, and all the people put down their chopsticks on the table and fell silent. Even the housekeeper, who was standing beside them, felt shocked.

"What did you say? You..." Lucia then intended to say something, but failed when she saw the fury shining on Jackson's face.

Seeing that Cherry didn't say anything, John also kept silent.

After a while, Cherry caressed Joe's head, and in a calm and gentle tone, said, "Joe, be a good boy now, we came to see your Great-Grandpa. We have to finish our meal with him before we leave, do you understand?"

Joe then raised his head and looked at his mother. Judging from the look in her eyes, Joe understood that she was also struggling to endure the unhappy scene.

He nodded in a lovely way and then snuggled into his mother's arms, unwilling to go back to his own seat at the table.

Cherry knew what Joe was thinking about, but she didn't say a word and instead started to feed him.

"Joe, what do you want to eat? I'll feed you, " said Cherry.

"I'd like some fish, " replied Joe, pointing at one of the dishes close to them on the table.

Cherry then picked up a piece of fish, put it on the plate in front of her, and was about to feed him.

Suddenly, in a voice that seemed to be filled with sarcasm, Lucia said, "Like mother, like son!"

After she heard, Cherry couldn't bear it any more. That was the final drop that filled the glass more than full.

She put down her chopsticks, and in a stern and firm voice, said to her son, "Joe, let's go home!"

After that, Cherry stood up from her seat, held her son's hand, and left the table.

"Cherry!" quickly shouted Selina after her. She wanted to stop her, but Cherry didn't turn around and instead walked out directly.

Derek cast a sharp look on Lucia, and said, "Lucia, what the hell do you think you're doing!"

Selina also stood up and looked at Lucia furiously. She shouted at her, "What bad luck it is to have you here!"

After that, Selina rushed out of the room to speak with Cherry.

Andrew's face was filled with more than anger and rage, but he was too furious to utter a single word. Cherry and Joe had finally come back to see him after such a long time, but it seemed that their meeting had turned into an utter mess. He had heard very well what Lucia had said, and he had to admit that she had really gone a step too far.

"Derek!" suddenly shouted Jackson, "Inform the guard that from now on she can't come here anymore!"

After he said that, Jackson also stood up and left.

"Why can't I come here anymore? I also grew up here!" retorted Lucia, vexed. She felt very anxious when he saw Jackson leaving, and she knew that he was dead serious with his words.

But Jackson didn't give a damn about what Lucia said.

It wasn't until she saw Jackson go out through the door, that Lucia looked at Andrew, and intended to plead with him to say something for her, because he was the one who had the final say in everything.

But Andrew lowered his head and didn't look at her. He just moved his hand, and said, "Just leave."

"Grandpa!" said Lucia, while she put on an aggrieved face.

John was also very disappointed with his mother's behaviour. How could she say those things in front of Cherry and Andrew inside the Chu home?
