Chapter 137 - Pumpkin (2/2)

Inside the teahouse, Sean took a sip of his tea as he thought about the mother and child. Natalie warmed his heart and the child warmed his soul. He could definitely get used to a life with them.

...

Not too far from the casino, Jackson and Amelie had just arrived outside a hot pot restaurant for lunch. This was where Everett Pang organized for them to meet with Rawson Zhang.

That's right, Rawson loved hot pot. Back in Shanghai, he used to eat it at least 3 times a week!

It seemed, his tastes hadn't changed.

Jackson took a deep breath and held onto Amelie's hand as they headed for a private room in the back. Jackson had already explained everything to her, so she had a gun ready in her handbag just in case things went downhill. ”Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll back you up,” she said.

Jackson nodded his head. If anyone had his back, he knew Amelie definitely did.

With his guard up, Jackson slowly opened the door.

But, as soon as he walked in a familiar face welcomed him with arms wide open.

”Jackson, it's been a long time,” Rawson Zhang grinned.

Jackson looked at the man. The man had lost a considerable amount of weight and his black hair had turned half white, but he still had the same sly grin.

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang,” Jackson greeted.

A sly look flashed across the man's eyes. ”Come sit, I have serious business to discuss with you,” the man said as he pointed to the empty chairs around the table.

The old man was the only one sitting at the table. Around him were a few bodyguards, but Everett and Carol were nowhere to be seen. Was Rawson involved with the illegal activity that was happening at the casino, or did he simply want to catch up with him? Maybe this man had learned his lesson after spending 7 years in prison.

But, just as Jackson was beginning to relax around the old man, there was a knock on the door.

One of the bodyguards opened it up and a familiar couple walked in.

It was Everett Pang and his wife, Carol Pang.

”Godfather,” Carol smiled affectionately as she walked up to hug the old man.
