Ice and Fire novel Chapter 227

Joe then walked out of the elevator and saw that his Daddy and Mommy, as well as his Uncle Derek and Aunt Selina, were sitting in the office and chatting with one another. Joe thought about what had just happened in the elevator, and wondered if he should tell his Mommy about it after they got back home later in the evening.

Joe went to Selina's office, and shouted cheerly, "Mommy, Mommy!"

Hearing her son's voice, Cherry quickly turned around and looked at him. She asked, "Joe, did you came from school?"

"Yes!" said Joe, and then threw himself in his Mommy's loving arms and snuggled up beside her.

"Joe, I haven't seen you for a few days and I find that you're already more handsome than you were before!" said Selina with a smile on her lips.

"Really? Aunt Selina, you're also very beautiful, " replied Joe to Selina with a lovely look on his face.

"Are you serious?" Selina looked at Joe very surprised. She thought, 'This little kid is a real sweet talker.'

"Do you really take a child's words seriously?" said Jackson with slight disdain. In his eyes, Selina wasn't as beautiful as Cherry was.

Selina pretended to be dissatisfied with Jackson's words. She looked at Jackson, and said, "So what? For you, who can be more beautiful than your wife?"

Without saying any words more, Jackson took a few sips out of his tea cup from the table.

Derek smiled aside. He looked at Joe, and asked, "Joe, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?"

"Will my Mommy be there as well?" suddenly asked Joe as he looked at his mother. He was surprised by the fact that his Daddy had left the villa with his Mommy today, rather than to still keep her imprisoned in it. If his Mommy wasn't allowed to have dinner with them, then he wouldn't go either, because he wanted to always stay at his mother's side.

"As the most important person of the evening, don't you think that your Mommy will have dinner with us?" said Selina, while she glanced at Jackson. She then turned her eyes back to Joe, and continued to say, "Today is the day we celebrate your Mommy becoming the new Sales Director of the JS Group! How could she not come with us?"

"Really? Mommy is the new Sales Director of the JS Group?" asked Joe, while he looked at Selina with a surprised look in his eyes, and then at his Mommy.

Cherry lowered her head and gently nodded to her son who was sitting next to her.

"Joe, think of it this way: I am the Executive President of the JS Group, and because I recognised your mommy's superior ability, I appointed her as our new Sales Director, " said Selina. She thought that Joe was too young to understand the complicated situation, so she explained it to him in simple terms.

"But for Mommy to do that, Daddy needs to agree first!" Joe's words defeat Selina the moment he spoke them out.

Derek and Cherry looked at Jackson, who had a relaxed expression on his face, and smiled together. Selina was the only one who had a gloomy look.

"Joe, didn't you listen to me?" said Selina, who was pretending to be angry. Joe, the little kid, was smarter than she had thought him to be. She had wanted to show off in front of him, but she had never expected to be defeated by him.
