Ice and Fire novel Chapter 278

In the evening, the Chu family was having their dinner together in the family residence. Joe was enjoying his food in front of the table without saying a word. But he was thinking whether to tell his Mommy about what had happened earlier in the afternoon or not.

Cherry and Jackson were both busy eating while also occasionally chatting with Andrew, so they didn't notice any difference in their son's behavior.

After dinner, Joe finally decided to talk with his Mommy about the doubts he had in his heart. He wanted to make things clear, and when he saw that his Mommy and Daddy were walking towards the balcony, Joe hastily walked in front of his mother, and said,"Mommy, I want you to help me do my homework! There are some questions that I don't know how to answer."

Cherry was a little surprised to hear that. This was the first time that Joe had taken the initiative to ask her to help him with his homework.

Cherry took a look at Jackson and then turned to her son and asked,"Do you have a lot of homework today?"

Joe looked into his Mommy's eyes and nodded.

Cherry could tell something from the look in her son's eyes. It was just like the saying "What happens to children is of vital interest to parents," Cherry realized what Joe wanted to do.

She turned her head to Jackson, and said,"How about you have a chat with Grandpa? I'll go upstairs and help Joe do his homework."

Jackson was a little disappointed, because he had intended to look at the night scenery in the balcony together with Cherry, and now he had to accompany Grandpa instead.

"Okay," said Jackson, as he nodded.

Cherry and Joe then went upstairs.

While he was doing his homework in his room, Joe appeared to be absent-minded because he was pondering something in his mind.

Cherry seemed to have read her son's mind, and asked,"Joe, what happened? Is there something wrong?"

Joe looked at his Mommy, nodded his head and said,"Mommy, I want to tell you something."

"Tell me," said Cherry, as she caressed her son's head. She wanted to hear everything that her son wanted to tell her.

"Mommy, it seems that Daddy has assigned someone to track me," said Joe in a low voice.
