Chapter 507
Ice and Fire
Wilson was waiting for Joe at the school gate.
Walking through the school gate, Joe noticed Wilson and happily ran to him.
Joe grabbed his hand, asking, "Uncle Wilson! What are you doing here?"
Chuckling at his cuteness, Wilson touched Joe's head. "I'm here to pick up my little nephew, " he replied. "Joe, your Daddy and Mommy are in your Grandma's house. Let's go there together, okay?"
Joe nodded, excited to see his grandparents. "Okay. I miss my grandparents. How have they been?" he asked with concern.
"They're fine, " Wilson assured him. "Your Grandma and Grandpa also miss you very much, so they've asked me to pick you up from school. Let's go.
Get in the car and we'll go."
"Okay, " Joe replied.
The pair got into Wilson's car and drove away. Joe was watching the outside world go past in a blur excitedly as they spoke.
Joe asked, "Uncle Wilson, why did my Daddy and Mommy go to my Grandpa's house?"
"Your Mommy dearly misses your Grandma, but she doesn't get to see her as often as she'd like. You can always see your Mommy, but your Mommy can only see your Grandma once in a while, " Wilson explained patiently.
Joe nodded, realising what his uncle meant. "Oh, that makes sense, " he agreed. "My Grandma is Mommy's Mommy, so my Mommy must miss her very much."
The intelligence of his nephew brought a smile to Wilson's face. "You're really smart, Joe. Yes, that's the reason."
"Of course, I'm the son of Cherry Shen, " Joe replied proudly. Then he suddenly realised that his Mommy had taught him to never say her full name.
Maybe it didn't matter this time because it was only in front of Uncle Wilson and Mommy wasn't here.
Glancing at his nephew in the rear-view mirror, Wilson grinned. "Wow! How dare you call your Mommy by her full name!" he joked.
Joe smiled sweetly. "Hey-hey-hey, I only said it in front of you. I dare not say it in front of my Daddy and Mommy. Mommy would be mad if I did."
"You're a very naughty boy, " Wilson said, laughing. He thought about how wonderful if would be if he and Selina could have such a cute son in the future.
Afraid his uncle would tell, Joe pretended to be miserable. "Uncle Wilson, could you please not tell Mommy I did that? If you did, I would be punished according to our family rules. Whenever Mommy enforces the rules, Daddy always takes her side, no matter what. He never defends me. It gets lonely, because no one helps me."
Suddenly interested in his sister's family rules, Wilson asked, "Are your family rules harsh?"
"Not harsh, but Mommy always makes those decisions, " Joe complained. "My Daddy just obeys her and spoils her."
"Isn't that good?" Wilson replied, with a small laugh. He never thought his sister would have so much power in her family.
Joe started pretending to be helpless and pouted. "It's not all that bad. But Daddy only ever spoils Mommy. He dislikes me and always takes her away from me. It's so hard because I have to compete with Daddy for Mommy's attention."
Wilson was quite surprised by this. The more information Joe gave, the more curious Wilson grew. He tried to keep his tone casual. "Really? That's interesting."
Now pretending to be serious, Joe looked directly at the reflection of his uncle in the rear-view mirror. "Right. Uncle Wilson, I can tell you. Every night when Mommy sleeps with me, Daddy gets furious. And whenever Mommy and I disagree, Daddy will always tell me to listen to her. I'm really confused. Why doesn't he like me? Why does he always take Mommy's side? Am I his son or not?"
"Joe, Cherry is your Mommy, your Daddy's wife, " Wilson assured him, unable to stop himself from laughing. "Surely your Daddy will favor your Mommy over you, because she's his wife."
Curiously, Joe decided to test Uncle Wilson, asking, "Will you also be partial to Aunt Selina after you have a baby with her, Uncle Wilson?"
"Of course, " Wilson answered happily and quickly. Furrowing his brow, he realised he had been fooled.
"Joe, you tricked me into talking, " he said regretfully.
Joe laughed. "No, no, no, " he replied. "I was just asking out of curiosity."
"Okay, Joe, you win, " Wilson conceded. "I don't know what to say."
Looking at his Uncle Wilson, Joe smiled. "Uncle Wilson, it seems that you really love Aunt Selina. That's great." His Uncle was a good man, who loved his family, just like his Daddy.
"You're a brilliant kid, " Wilson told him, smiling.
Joe happily said, "I'm brilliant because I inherited the best genes from my Mommy and Daddy. How else could I be so clever?"

Nodding his head in agreement, Wilson chuckled. "That's right. But Joe, you're an old soul. You tricked me just now, so how should I punish you?"
"Oh, don't punish me, " Joe said quickly. "I hope you'll marry Aunt Selina soon, " he changed the subject. "I can't wait for your wedding candies!" He wanted to turn his uncle's attention away from his Mommy and Daddy, by talking about his wedding with Aunt Selina. "And I hope Aunt Selina could..."
"Joe, " Wilson interrupted.
Joe asked seriously, "Yes, what?"
Wilson said with a smile, "Your wish will come true soon."
Joe screamed in excitement, "Really? You and Aunt Selina are getting married soon?"
"Yes, " Wilson replied. "You'll hear more when we get there. Your Mommy and Daddy already know."
Joe cheered, "That's great! Uncle Wilson, I hope you'll have a great wedding."
"Thanks, Joe, " Wilson replied.
Trying to be casual, Joe nonchalantly gestured. "Alright. If you want to thank me, you can give me a big red packet at your wedding."
Chuckling at the kid's cuteness and boldness, Wilson couldn't refuse him. "Okay, I'll give you a big red packet then."
It wasn't long before they pulled up in front of the house. They entered together and Joe saw his Grandpa sitting in the living room. "Grandpa, Grandpa!" Joe exclaimed and ran to him.
