Ice and Fire novel Chapter 242

Cherry hastily stopped Joe from blurting more out, "Joe, don't talk nonsense."

Cherry was embarrassed that Joe was telling Andrew about their bedroom-affairs, while the butler was standing there listening too.

"What? I told the truth. Daddy said not to disturb you two while you slept." Joe insisted. He felt wronged by his mother and looked at his great-grandpa, "Mommy and Daddy just couldn't get up."

"You..." Cherry face reddened and she clamped her mouth shut, too embarrassed to continue.

Jackson stood behind Cherry and had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. He put his hands on Cherry's shoulders and asked her to calm down.

Andrew looked from Cherry back to Joe smiling, "Joe, your parents, were busy all week. You should let them sleep in and rest on weekends. Did you know that?" Andrew shared.

"I know, but, I wanted to get here early." Joe pouted slightly. He looked upset now that three adults were scolding him.

"Alright, it's okay, I got you wrong, Joe. Don't be upset. Look, I bought you lots of snacks. You can eat them all!" Andrew rambled hastily in an attempt to comfort Joe.

"Yeah!" Shouted Joe, happy once again.

Andrew held Joe's hand as they walked into the living room. The butler smiled amiably and said to Jackson and Cherry, "You have a cute son."

Cherry gave him a big smile, "Yes, but Joe's naughty." she said.

Jackson remained formal, "How's my grandfather doing, butler?" Jackson inquired, his tone severe but indifferent.

"Well, " the butler hadn't expected Jackson's question, "Not bad. He has quite an appetite for an old man."

Cherry didn't see Jackson's facial expression, and said amiably, "Butler, Jackson and I are always busy at work. We know we can count on you to take good care of grandpa. If grandpa needs any help, don't hesitate to call us."

"Cherry, you flatter me. Andrew saved me life, so I will always take good care of him. Besides, I have been here a long long time, and I know my job." the butler said smiling at her.

Cherry nodded and didn't say anything else.

Jackson gazed down at Cherry fondly and in a tender tone said, "Let's go inside."

"Alright." Cherry agreed, following Jackson into the living room.

Watching the happy family disappear into the house, the butler glowered. He went around the corner, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
