Chapter 351 The Old Days (Part One) (1/2)

In the living room, Cherry went back and sat beside Jackson. She held Jackson's arm, as she did before she left the room.

Jackson didn't ask Cherry who called her. He pretended that the phone call didn't matter to him. However, he was very curious as to what Mond had to say to his wife. The phone call lasted only for a few minutes, still, this did not help him from wondering what the two had talked about.

It was early evening when all the family members gathered at the dining hall to have dinner. Lucia trying her best to control and hide her anger, only spoke to Andrew.

Joe looked at Lucia, ”A villa is a nice place but I'm used to living here, because this is my home. Why do you ask that?” Joe innocently asked

Lucia didn't anticipate the child's answer. She was lost for words, for she didn't know how to answer the question that was unexpectedly thrown in her direc
