Ice and Fire novel Chapter 446

Mike said hesitatingly, "What about trying other ways? Your Daddy might get angry if he finds out what we've been doing and about the investigation. He is just like my Daddy, they don't want us to get involved in their issues."

"Well, you know me, I'll be very careful. I'll go to great lengths to hide it from my Daddy. Only if he finds out will he be mad at me, " Joe replied.

An idea suddenly sparked in Mike's mind, and he asked, "Joe, will your great-grandpa give you the token instead of to your Daddy?"

"Impossible! That will never happen!" Joe firmly said, "Although my great-grandpa loves me dearly, he doesn't tell me about anything about the important stuff going on in our family. I don't have any clue about my family's secrets and he definitely will not tell me, forget giving me the token. Like I told you before, since I lived abroad for a long time, I missed out a lot on the events in my family. All I know now comes from my Mommy. Unless I know more about my family, I cannot protect my Mommy and that is my only intention. That's why I've been trying to investigate things about the token."

Mike nodded and fully understood what Joe had in mind. Joe's love for his mother was beyond Mike's imagination, as Joe thought his Mommy was the greatest person in the world and would do anything for her. Since his Mommy loved him so much, Joe felt it was his duty to step up and protect her now that he was a big boy.

Joe patted Mike's shoulder and said to him, "I'm sure the token won't affect us too much, so don't waste your time thinking about it. I'm also looking for it and might find it eventually."

Mike replied understandingly, "Okay. I'll help you, don't worry about it."

Joe said with genuine emotion, "Thank you, Mike. I will never forget your help in my time of need."

A smile appeared on Mike's face as he said, "Joe, we promised to be friends forever, so you don't need to thank me. There's no 'thank you' and 'sorry' between friends!"

Joe nodded cheerfully, "Yeah, we'll be friends forever. We'll sit and laugh about this twenty years later."

In the evening, the whole family had dinner together. Before he started eating, Joe took a glimpse at Jackson stealthily, who didn't frown or react in any way. Joe then did the same to Cherry, who also looked like she was in a good mood. This helped Joe who felt relieved, he could now enjoy his meal.

Suddenly, Jackson's phone rang. The call was from an unknown number. He wondered who was calling at this hour. That upset Jackson a bit but didn't prevent him from picking up the call as his curiosity got the better of him.

"Hello, Jackson Chu speaking, " Jackson received the call.

"Mr. Chu, the piano you ordered has arrived at the city, we will send it to your home as soon as possible, " a person who sounded like customer service staff said.

"Okay, thank you, " Jackson replied and then hung up the phone.

"Is anything wrong?" Cherry asked worriedly.

Jackson answered, "The piano is going to be delivered tomorrow."

"Really? Great!" Joe jumped up with excitement. He had been waiting to learn an instrument for a while. He turned to look at Cherry and asked, "Mommy, when shall we start the classes? I can't wait!"

Looking at Joe's excited face, Cherry smiled and said, "All right, I'll call Amy immediately and ask her to arrange a class for you tomorrow."

"Great! Thank you, Mommy!" said Joe cheerfully.

Looking at adorable Joe, Jackson and Cherry shared a tacit look and then smiled together.
