Ice and Fire novel Chapter 332

Nobody said anything for a long time, then Andrew walked over to Cherry and said, "Cherry, there is no irreconcilable hatred between a husband and his wife. You and Jackson need to take the time to talk out the problems between you and work things out. It's not something that you can run from. We are family, and we need to live here together. Everything should be discussed and handled together. If Jackson mistreats you, I want you to come and tell me, and I'll confront him."

Cherry was stunned and sat there, not sure what to say. Andrew had just humbled himself to her, and from anyone else's perspective, he had given her a high honor. Andrew had spoken to her in such a low, gentle tone, which made her wonder if she could continue quarreling with Jackson.

Cherry looked at her son lying in her arms and asked, "Joe, are you really okay?"

Joe nodded as he responded, "Yes Mommy, I'm really okay."

"Then let's go to dinner, " said Cherry in an even tone.

Joe understood the implication in his Mommy's words. She was compromising after hearing what his Great-Grandpa said. He was very worried for his Mommy, because she held all the pain in her heart. After reflecting for some moment, he saw that he had acted impulsively just now. What would they do if he really took his Mommy away? His Mommy had told him once that Uncle Wilson had helped them a lot, and he knew his Mommy and he would feel bad if they had to appeal to his generosity again.

Joe nodded, "Okay."

When Andrew heard the short exchange between Cherry and Joe, he was very happy and ordered Lily, "Go prepare dinner for us! Quickly!"

"Yes! Yes!" Lily said, heading down the stairs.

Cherry helped Joe up and headed downstairs too.

When Cherry and Joe had left, Andrew approached Jackson telling him, "Don't be so impulsive next time. Joe is your son, and the heir of the Chu Family, how could I face your dead father if anything should happen to him?"

"I can have another son if he died, but she can't leave me! No way!" Jackson said determinedly. He just wanted to stay with Cherry, and he would do anything out of desperation to make sure that happened.

"Um, well." replied Andrew, not sure how to respond to that just then. Andrew felt a little strange hearing his Grandson's words, he had changed a lot because of his love for Cherry.

Andrew turned and walked downstairs. The butler threw a glance at Jackson before he followed Andrew.

The entire family sat in the dining room eating dinner together. Joe usually sat beside Andrew, but tonight, he sat next to his Mommy, and didn't look at anybody as he ate in silence.

Andrew felt a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Joe, come here! Come, sit next to Great-Grandpa! What would you like to eat? Tell me and I'll help you dish it out."

"No! I want to sit next to Mommy." Joe replied, not looking at Andrew.

Jackson was angered by Joe's reaction, and slammed his chopsticks on the table roughly. Nobody dared to speak at that point. How dare the little boy refuse his Grandpa's request? No one dared to contradict his Grandpa!
