Ice and Fire novel Chapter 541

Jackson didn't say any more, but, gave Cherry a quick glance as he drove along.

Jackson and Cherry waited for Joe at the gate of the school.

Joe and Mike walked out of the building chatting and smiling. When they reached the gate, Mike saw his driver's car and said to Joe,"Joe, my driver is here, I'm going now."

"Okay, bye!" Joe nodded his head in Mike's direction, while looking for Bill's car among the private cars, but deep down, he would be more excited if he saw his dad's car.

When Joe saw the familiar car, his eyes widened. In his heart though he wondered, 'Is it really Daddy's car?' 'Is it really Daddy's car?'

Joe couldn't believe it and looked at the car again, rubbing his eyes. It was really his Daddy's car!

Joe was sure his Mommy would be there with his Daddy!

Joe ran happily in the direction of his Daddy's car.

Cherry was about to greet Joe as soon as she saw him, but, Jackson stopped her.

"The wind is strong out there. Stay in the car," Jackson told her. He opened the door and got out.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Joe called out excitedly.

"Son," Jackson said smiling.

"Mommy, why aren't you getting out of the car?" Joe clung to his daddy's hand and called to his Mommy in the car. She looked really happy to see him, which made him curious, why she hadn't gotten out of the car to greet him.

"Your Daddy wouldn't let me get out of the car! He said the wind is too strong out there," Cherry said, pretending to give Jackson an angry scowl and said to him,"See? Now my son is angry!"

"It's Okay!" Joe said quickly. He thought carefully and added,"It appears Daddy is right. The wind is really strong today Mommy. You'd better stay in the car. It's special time now, so, Daddy and I need to protect you as we would a panda."

"What?" Cherry was more angry that her son regarded her as a panda because he felt she needed sheltering from the wind.

"Joe, think about how big a panda is! I am so thin! How can you compare me to a panda?" While Cherry was venting, Jackson and Joe got into the car.
