Ice and Fire novel Chapter 559

Carrying his sleepy son in his arms, Jackson left the hotel. As he stepped through the hotel gate, he heard someone calling him.

"Jackson, Jackson!" Selina shouted, running towards him from the hotel.

Jackson turned around, surprised to see Selina.

Blinking softly, Joe looked over too. "Daddy, it's Aunt Selina," he said quietly.

As Selina had already gotten to them, Jackson didn't reply.

Standing before Jackson, Selina glanced at Joe and then back to Jackson. "Jackson, are you taking Joe home now?" she asked.

Jackson nodded,"Yes, Cherry is waiting for us at home."

Suddenly feeling awkward and unsure of how to say, Selina forced out his name again,"Jackson."

Jackson asked,"What? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Luckily, Joe was a clever kid and he noticed that maybe Selina was being awkward because her nephew was there. Maybe she didn't know how to speak in front of Joe about whatever it was.

"Daddy, put me down. I can wait for you in the car," Joe said sweetly to his Daddy.

Jackson paused, a look of confusion adorning his face, and then realisation dawned on him. Jackson helped Joe down, fixed his clothes up and nodded at his son. "Okay, Joe, you can wait for me in the car. I'll be there in just a minute."

Nodding tiredly but eagerly, Joe said,"Okay, Daddy, I'll play some games while I wait." He looked up at his aunt. "Goodbye, Aunt Selina." He waved adorably at her.

Joe seemed quite adept at bringing a smile to people's faces and Selina was no exception. "Okay, Joe, bye bye." She smiled and waved back.

Joe happily walked to his Daddy's car.

"Selina," Jackson said softly, getting her attention back,"what's the matter?" He knew that by that little display, Selina must have something important to talk about. What could she need to be alone with Jackson for?
