Chapter 522 Danger! Watch Out! (Part Two) (1/2)
Everybody heard Joe's request.
”You want them now?” Jean asked. It didn't matter though if he wanted to eat them now or later, she was going to buy the haws because Joe requested it.
Cherry knew Jean would buy the haws for Joe because she loved Joe.
Cherry placed a hand on Jean's arm. ”It's okay, Jean. I'll go buy some with Joe.”
”Are you sure? It's no trouble for me,” Jean told Cherry. She really didn't want Cherry to walk across the busy road. It was only a short distance but it could still be dangerous, especially since there wasn't any sidewalk.
Cherry shook her head,” It's okay. I'll take Joe with me.” She turned to Jackson and said,” I'm going across the street to buy haws for Joe. Talk to Mond, okay?”
Jackson was worried but didn't dare defy Cherry's request. He nodded.
”It's just across the road, I'll be fine.” Cherry took Joe's hand to take him to the shop. ”Be careful,” Jean shouted as they crossed the road.
Mond hesitated but forced himself to talk to Jackson. ”Did you arrange this dinner so we can talk?”
Jackson shook his head. ”I didn't know about this until Cherry told me.” He nodded his head towards Cherry. ”She arranged it all by herself.”
”You mean, you didn't tell her our past?” Mond asked with shock in his voice. He thought Cherry knew about him and Jackson. But apparently, she didn't.
Jackson shook his head.
Jackson turned to Mond,” Cherry doesn't know about our past. But she's right. And -”
Mond cut in and broke his sentence incomplete,” No, Jackson! You're not my brother. You've never acted like my big brother. What you want is impossible!”
”I'm not expecting us to become instant brothers. But maybe we can try to get to know each other, and end this fight between us. What do you think?” Jackson proposed. He didn't want Mond to hate him anymore. He just wanted Mond to be happy.
Mond didn't know what to say.
