Ice and Fire novel Chapter 228

Derek thought for a moment while he was eating, and said, "Wilson seems to be a man of striking appearance, and he also has potential in the business world. If he'll be my brother-in-law, then..."

But before Derek had the chance to finish his words, Selina suddenly interrupted him.

She looked at him ferociously, and said, "Derek! Shut up! Don't you think that you'd better tend to your own affairs? Jackson already has a five-year-old boy, and you don't even have a wife yet! Aren't you ashamed of that?"

"I..." but after he heard her, Derek turned dumb and speechless.

Cherry and Jackson looked at each other. When she saw that Jackson had an indifferent look on his face she suddenly smiled to Derek and Selina, and thought that the brother and sister couldn't be more perfectly matched as siblings.

After dinner, Derek and Selina went back to the residential compound, and Cherry drove her own car back to the villa with her son in it; Jackson followed them from behind.

When they got home, Cherry went into the living room and felt a little bit tired, so she sat down on the sofa.

Jackson saw how tired Cherry was, and after he poured a glass of water for her, and then walked towards her with it.

Sitting next to Cherry, Jackson said tenderly, "Here, drink some water."

Cherry took the glass of water and nestled into Jackson's arms. She said, "Thanks."

When Joe saw that his Daddy and Mommy were sitting together, he went to the living room and sat beside Cherry. After his mother finished drinking her glass of water, he said, "Mommy, I want to tell you something."

"Yes? What's the matter? Did something bad happen at school?" asked Cherry concerned, because she had always attached a great deal of importance to her son's matters and wellbeing.

"No, I met a woman inside the elevator in the JS Group this afternoon, " said Joe childishly.

After they heard their son's words, Cherry and Jackson felt somehow surprised. Cherry looked at Jackson first, and then looked at her son, and asked, "Who did you meet?"

Joe thought for a moment and recollected in his mind all that happened earlier in the afternoon. He said, "I don't know who she is. She came inside the elevator with me, I asked her to push the elevator button, and then she asked me who I was. I didn't answer her, but then she spoke out your names."

Joe's words completely confused Cherry and Jackson. Jackson's eyes were filled with a complex expression in them.

Joe then looked at his Mommy, and continued to say, "She said that she was your friend, but when I invited her to come look on you with me, she reclined; she also knew Daddy's name, but she got out of the elevator on the 28th floor."

Cherry thought for a moment and said, "The 28th floor is where the conference room is."
