Chapter 514

"Be careful, honey! You could slip and fall!" Jackson urged with concern and followed her, making sure she didn't trip on the stairs. 'Has she not realized that she is a pregnant woman now?' Jackson wondered, sighing internally.

In the dining room, Jackson watched as Cherry demolished a bowl of porridge and his lay untouched, on the table. Standing in the kitchen and watching them from afar, Lily beamed as the happy couple sat together and continued to banter among themselves.

"Lily, Cherry and I are going to Joe's school to pick him up. Please tell Bill that his services will not be required as of now," informed Jackson.

"Sure, I will let him know," replied Lily as a strange shiver crossed her face.

"Are you all right? Are you feeling under the weather?" questioned Jackson. No action escaped his attention. Jackson was keenly aware of Lily's behavior and her eyes conveyed that she was off in some other land and not living in the present.

"No, no, I couldn't be better. I was thinking about how to improve Ms. Cherry's nutrition to ensure that the baby is in good health," explained Lily in haste.

"Well," acknowledged Jackson, indifferently, now that he had no cause for concern,"if you are unsure about that, you can go to the study and use the Internet for some research. I don't know so much about these things either, so you may help yourself."

"Yes, I got it, Mr. Jackson," quickly replied Lily with respect.

Cherry looked up to Lily, and then turned her sight to Jackson and coaxed,"All right, don't put too much pressure on Lily. My previous diet should be fine. Lily knows the foods that a pregnant woman can't eat and she won't prepare these foods for me. That's enough. I'm not picky."

"No, no, Mrs. Cherry, I will try to prepare nutritious meals for you to strengthen your body. Nine months of pregnancy is hard enough, you must take good care of yourself," uttered Lily sincerely. She wanted to take good care of her loving mistress.

"Lily, thank you so much. I don't deserve you," Cherry's heart was so full of gratitude, for Lily always put her first, even before herself.

"Mrs. Cherry, it's my pleasure to serve you. Please don't embarrass me by being so polite," replied Lily lowering her head.

"Never say that again, Lily. You know how important you are to me." Cherry gazed at Lily with a beautiful smile on her face,"Jackson and I will go to pick up Joe now, so you may continue your work."

"Yes, Mrs. Cherry," answered Lily.

Cherry held Jackson's hand and stood up to leave the dining room. "Darling, hurry up. Otherwise the last class will get over and Joe will not see us when he got out," urged Cherry. She wanted to get there as soon as possible and leave no room for any errors.

Jackson glanced at his watch. "It's still early. We have enough time to get there on time."

"What if the roads are jammed? It's always better to leave and reach a place early. We don't want our son to be frightened, now, do we?" added Cherry.

"You only have eyes for Joe, what about me?" Jackson felt jealousy flare up. It seemed like Cherry always put their son before him. Joe was so important to her that she ignored the very man who had helped create him, and was constantly by her side. He wished she cared about him as much as Joe.

Cherry asked confusedly,"What about you?" Jackson shook his head and brushed off the question. In the vehicle, Cherry inquired anxiously,"Darling, is everything going well at the bar? Are you having any problems at work?" She felt that would explain his sudden irritability.

"No, it's not a big deal. There are just a few men who are trying to create troubles. I have gottten rid of them," answered Jackson.

"It's difficult to avoid troubles in that kind of place," corroborated Cherry. She had expected a negative impact when she knew that Jackson had taken over the bar. Trouble was inevitable. She herself had witnessed some harsh people who occasionally rioted in the bar.

"I don't know how Stephen had dealt with such problems. But it seems that there were lesser issues after I took over the bar. These publicists are capable of solving most problems themselves. My intervention is required only in certain cases," added Jackson. He appreciated the competence of the assistants around him who handled all the bar matters for him. Furthermore, he was satisfied with their outstanding abilities. Perhaps he should give them all raises.

"So what happened today?" asked Cherry. Jackson had gone to meet some important people in the morning.

"Eric's people started trouble," answered Jackson.

"Eric?" It had been a long time since Cherry had last heard the name. But she didn't feel any strange emerge when she heard it again. She was impressed by this godlike stature of this man.

"Yes, Eric. His people have been accustomed to rioting in bars and no one dares to stop them. But they met me today. I talked with them and called Eric to make him take his people away. So it's all right now. They won't trouble me any more," replied Jackson.

"Oh, I see," Cherry nodded as she understood what had actually happened. She didn't care about the exact details as long as Jackson was okay.

"I haven't signed any contracts with Eric or Jonson, but I called Eric today. I think that maybe I should go to meet them later," continued Jackson.

Though the token had not been found yet, he couldn't overlook the importance of both those individuals. Now that he had met Eric's rampant people, Jackson assumed that the other people around Eric were just as hard to deal with.

"Well, it's all up to you," Cherry stared at Jackson earnestly speaking,"Darling, I won't stop you from doing that, but you must protect yourself well.

Please don't be hurt, otherwise Joe and I will have no one to depend on. We can't live without you in this world."

Jackson was touched by Cherry's words. He took one look at Cherry and kept driving. "I know. Don't worry, I will never leave you and our son. I promised you long ago that we will be together forever."

"Yes, that's right," a bright smile lit up Cherry's face. She was still worried but Jackson's words made her feel immensely better. She was certain her husband could take care of himself. She really had no need to take so many factors into account as no one could tell what would happen in the future, so she intended to just let nature take its course.

Arriving at the school gates, they surprisingly found that there were no students. "Well, are we here early or late?" murmured Cherry curiously.

Jackson glanced at his watch replying,"We are early. There are still five minutes left."

"Then we can wait for a while. It's only five minutes," offered Cherry.

"We don't have any other option," Jackson echoed.

As soon as class got over, Joe got out of school and looked for Bill's car. Suddenly, he caught sight of his Daddy's car, and his Mommy was waving to him in the car.

"Joe," Cherry cheerfully called to her son.

"Mommy, Mommy," Joe was very happy and quickly ran to Cherry.

"Hi, honey. Are you surprised to see us?" uttered Cherry, a smile curved her lips.

Joe looked at his Mommy, and then averted his eyes to his Daddy crying with excitement,"I'm so happy. I never thought that you both would come here together to pick me up."

"Well, I was afraid that our little sweetheart would get depressed and lonely without our companionship, so I come here to pick you up." After that, Cherry continued,"Joe, did you know your Daddy was jealous just now? He complained that I only care about you and ignore him all the time."
