Hearing his footsteps, Jackson was sad, because he felt that not only his wife was running away from him, but also his son.
Cherry opened the door, and when she saw her son standing in front of her, she instantly felt warm in her heart again.
Joe asked, "Mommy, have you stayed in your room the whole day?"
Cherry smiled to him, and said, "No, I just came upstairs."
She then pulled her son into the room, and asked him, "How was your day at school?"
"Pretty good, just as usual. Nothing special today, " calmly said Joe to his Mommy.
Cherry and her son then sat on the sofa. She held his hand, and asked, "Have you seen your Daddy?"
Joe nodded, and answered, "Yes, he's in the living room now."
Joe noticed that his Mommy didn't look so good, and asked, "Mommy, are you still not talking to Daddy?"
Cherry looked away from him, and said, "I don't know what to talk to him."
Joe thought for a while, and then said, "Mommy, could you ask Daddy to stop keeping you locked at home all day? If you ask him, I'm certain that he will listen to you."
Joe knew that his Daddy loved his Mommy very much, and he felt also felt that his mother was very special to his father.
Cherry then looked at her son, and as she shook her head, she replied, "No, Joe. You're too young to understand some things, and even if he does let me out, the problems between me and your Daddy will still be there."
Joe then fell silent and just stared at his Mommy.
Cherry felt it awkward, and she quickly said, "Joe, let's go downstairs together; I'll have dinner with you."
Joe nodded his head.
When they went downstairs, they saw that Jackson was still sitting on the sofa watching TV. Cherry ignored him completely and walked with her son to the dinning room.
They sat down in the dining room, and Cherry asked the maid, who was busy in the kitchen, "Lily, is the dinner ready? Cook some dinner for Joe."
"Of course, of course, the dinner will be ready in a minute!" quickly answered Lily.
Shortly after that, Lily came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hands and put it in front of Joe on the table.
Cherry looked at her son, and said, "Joe, eat your dinner now."
"Mommy, don't you also want to have dinner?" Shortly after Joe finished his sentence, Lily came out with another plate in her hands.
When Cherry saw that Lily was coming to her, she quickly said, "I don't want to have dinner, so there's no need to prepare a dish for me."
