Chapter 198 Back To The Militarys Residential Compound (2/2)

”Why are you asking that?” said Cherry. She wanted to know why her son asked this question.

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

said Joe, at the same time wondering how many children would be in the military's residential compound since he would like to play with them.

Then, Jackson walked inside, looked at both of them, and asked, ”Are you ready? Let's go.”

”We're ready, Daddy, let's go!” said Joe as he took his father's hand and walked outside.

Jackson glanced at Cherry without saying a word.

Inside the car, Cherry was a little nervous, and looked out of the window without saying a word. Joe sat in the back seat and played games on his iPad.

Jackson glanced at Cherry and saw that she wasn't herself. He asked, ”What's the matter?”

After she felt the warmth of Jackson's palm, Cherry gradually calmed down, and thought in her mind, 'Yes, you're here, what am I afraid of? You're my husband, and you'll always protect me.'

”Okay, ” nodded Cherry.

When they arrived, Jackson saw that his Grandfather and Derek waiting for them at the door.

Immediately after he saw Jackson's car, Andrew cheerfully said to Derek, ”They're here!”

”Yes, ” replied Derek, who was also very happy.

Jackson parked the car, and Cherry and Joe got out of it.

Cherry felt somehow sad when she saw Andrew again, and noticed that he had become older; his hair was whiter, and his skin was more wrinkly than the last time that she had seen him five years ago.

”Grandpa, ” called out Cherry. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what.
