Ice and Fire novel Chapter 254

"Stay in the car and don't get out, " coldly said Jackson to Cherry, as he shook off her hand and quickly got out of the car.

Cherry then hastily asked, "Where are you going?" But Jackson had already slammed the door shut.

He then stepped out of the car and hastily went to the corner, but found that there was no one there. He suddenly froze on the spot, unable to move anymore.

He thought to himself, 'Could I've been imagining things? Wasn't that him? I never forgot his face...Is he really still in the city? Why didn't I know about that? Has he always been around?'

When Cherry noticed that Jackson was standing in the corner and looking around, she quickly got out of the car, walked up to him, and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing, " quietly replied Jackson. He was afraid that Cherry would suspect that something was odd about him, so he softened his tone, and as he looked at Cherry, he said, "I thought I saw a friend standing here, but I guess I was wrong."

After Cherry heard his gentle tone, she smiled and said, "Who could you ever possibly come across at a school gate? The school is the last place where you'd find your friends."

"You're right, maybe I was wrong, " said Jackson, as he touched Cherry's hair with affection.

At that moment, Joe walked out of the school, and when he saw his Daddy's car, he ran towards them.

Joe hurried to them and said, "Daddy, Mommy, school's over!"

Cherry and Jackson turned to their son the second they heard his voice.

Cherry happily cried, "Joe!"

He asked, "Daddy, Mommy, why are both of you here today?" Joe was a little surprised, because it was usually Bill, his Daddy, or his Mommy that came to pick him up from school. He had never seen his Daddy and Mommy together there, and because this was the first time, he was awfully delighted.

Cherry smiled, and said, "We'll be moving to the military residential compound today, and I came with Daddy to pick you up so we can all go together."

Joe was very happy when she heard her, and asked, "Really? Are we really moving to the military residential compound today?"

Cherry touched Joe's head, and said, "Yes, I've already packed your stuff and Bill has taken them there already."

Joe pulled her hand, and said, "Okay! Let's go to our new home now! I really miss my Great-Grandpa!"

Cherry looked at her son, and replied, "Alright, let's go now!" Cherry then looked at Jackson and said, "Come on, let's go."

"Okay."

They then got in the car and left.

Mond Xu was inside a limousine wearing sunglasses, and when he saw Jackson's car pass him, his face stiffened. He saw that Jackson was happy with his wife and his son, that Cherry smiled sweetly at him and was very cheerful, and he also saw that the kid looked exactly like Jackson. He thought to himself, 'How? How can Jackson have all this happiness? And I have nothing?'

After Jackson, Cherry and Joe arrived the military's residential compound, Joe quickly got out of the car and ran into the Chu house.
