Chapter 501 Marriage Certificate (Part Three) (1/2)
”Oh no Mommy, I wouldn't dare to do that again, ” as Joe shook his head looking at his Mommy with large doe-like eyes, he adopted a compliant appearance, garnering him a more significant possibility of his Mommy forgiving him.
”It doesn't matter whether it is Daddy, Mommy, or your uncles and aunts! You must be polite, do you understand me? Mommy has said this before, do you remember that?” asked Cherry.
”I do remember Mommy. You said we must always respect our elders. When we are out in public, children must follow, listen to and obey their parents. One cannot speak to strangers, not even to say hello since we do not know if they are bad people, ” Joe recited what his Mommy had taught him.
”Okay, sit back down and eat, then Bill will take you to school, ” Cherry said sternly.
”Okay Mommy, ” Joe said dashing to his seat and sitting down to finish his breakfast.
She turned toward Jackson, it was time for his lesson.
Glaring at Jackson, Cherry snarled, ”And you! Jackson! Why are you arguing with a child? He is not only my son; he is your son too! Was it really so important for you to be the winner?”
”Well, yeah. He's not only my son, but also a man. So I have to consider him as a rival in love, ” Jackson openly stated as he picked up another bite of food and popped it in his mouth.
”Could you stop behaving in such an arrogant way? He is just a child, for heaven's sake. Can't you give, even a little?” Cherry asked.
Jackson kept silent. He knew Cherry held Joe as her heart's greatest treasure. No matter what Jackson did, Cherry would prefer her son over him. At one time that bothered him, but now, he was fine with it since her son was his son too. Joe was their son.
Seeing his Daddy speechless, Joe smiled cheerfully, feeling like he had won, ”Daddy and Mommy I'm going to school now!”
”
It all starts on that fateful night.
