Chapter 448 Only Want To See You (Part One) (1/2)

It was evening, and Joe was excitedly waiting with his parents for his piano instructor, Amy, to get to the house for his first lesson.

The silence in the room was broken by the muffled sound of a cell phone ringing, coming from Jackson's pocket. He pulled it out and saw that it was Derek calling.

”Who's calling?” asked Cherry.

”It's Derek, I wonder what's up, ” replied Jackson casually.

”You should answer it, he might have some news to share, ” suggested Cherry.

Jackson clicked to accept the call.

”Hey Derek, what's up?”

”Jackson, are you in the bar? I need discuss something with you, ” there was an urgency in Derek's voice.

”Right now, I'm at home; if it can't wait, you can always come to my house.” Offered Jackson.

There was silence for a moment before Jackson heard Derek's answer, ”Okay, I'll be over soon.”

”Good, see you then, ” Jackson ended the call.

”Does Derek have important news to talk to you about?” Cherry asked.

Wondering the same thing, Jackson told her, ”I'm not sure what he wants to discuss. He's on his way over to talk to me.”

In an animated tone, Joe added, ”Awesome! This is Uncle Derek's lucky day, 'cause, now, he gets to meet my delightful piano teacher too!”

Cherry smiled, she was thrilled to see her son in such good spirits. Placing a hand, lightly, on Joe's head, she urged him, ”You need to focus on the piano session while your tutor is here. Please, don't go trying to show off, got it?”

”Yes Mommy. I will pay attention and practice hard, and become really good, ” Joe puffed out his chest with pride as he promised.
