Ice and Fire novel Chapter 432

Elsa held Cherry's hand and gently said to Jackson, "Jackson, you will be busy with work, but I hope you spend some time with Cherry and Joe and too. Don't prioritize work over family."

Jackson nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I will." He understood Elsa's meaning. In his heart, Cherry and Joe were his whole world, so even if he was busy, he would still care about them.

Cherry said with concern, "Mom, you don't need to worry about us. We are quite good. You and Uncle should take care of yourselves. My brother is quite busy and you should often go out on walks."

Elsa replied, "Don't worry. Your Uncle and I can take good care of ourselves, you young people needn't worry about us. You should take care of your own business. As long as your life is good, we will feel satisfied. Like they say, a parent is only as happy as their least happy child."

Jacob also nodded and said, "Yes, now that Wilson has found himself such a loveable girlfriend and we've met her, all our worries have disappeared. All I want now is a grandchild."

At this moment, Joe, who was watching cartoons, suddenly approached his Grandpa, held his arm and said, "Grandpa, if you don't want to wait anymore, you can pin your hope on my Mommy. My Daddy has promised me a little sister to play with."

Joe's words astonished everyone present. Jacob and Elsa watched Cherry and Jackson in surprise.

Cherry angrily warned, "Joe, behave yourself. Don't talk nonsense in front of elders!" She was mad because Joe always ended up saying inappropriate things that got her in trouble.

Jackson laughed but chose to remain silent.

Jacob happily said, "That's a good thing. More kids mean more fun. I've always thought that no kid should ever be a lonely child."

Elsa also smiled and said, "Cherry, it's great to have a daughter. If you had two kids, Joe could play with his sister and he would not ask you and Jackson to play with him."

Cherry looked at Elsa, nodded her head and replied, "Mom, I know. But we'd better let nature run its course. Please don't force me, okay?"

Elsa hastily denied, "Of course, we won't. As long as you're happy, I have no other requirements. I only hope you're happy."

Cherry softly said, "All right." Then she rested her head on her shoulder and enjoyed the warmth brought to her by Elsa.

After they finally went back to the villa, Joe was very tired. He went upstairs, took a shower and went to bed without being asked by his Mommy.

Cherry also returned to her bedroom. She took off her clothes and was ready to take a shower, but before she went to the bathroom door, she was stopped by Jackson.

Cherry asked, "What do you want to do?"

Jackson said shortly and to the point, "I want to take a shower with you."

Cherry refused, "Don't kid. I'll finish soon and then you can take a bath." Then she pushed him away and entered the bathroom.

Jackson had no choice but to wait in the bedroom. After Cherry finished bathing, he himself took a quick shower and then went out of the bathroom.

Jackson hastened to the bed when he saw his beloved woman lying on the bed and looking so ethereal. He still couldn't believe he was such a lucky man to have such an amazing woman as his wife.

Cherry thought for a while, nodded and said, "Maybe. But does he like art?"

Jackson replied, "You'd better ask Joe what he likes." He wanted to take his son's views into consideration and he hoped that his son could learn based on his own interests.

Cherry said, "Okay, I'll ask him some time."

Jackson suddenly asked, "If we have a daughter, will you still love Joe so much?" He didn't know why this question had popped up but it had been worrying him for a while.

Cherry replied, "Of course. But people always say that a daughter is the apple of a father's eye. So the question is, will you love our daughter more than Joe?"

Jackson replied, "Maybe. If our daughter is cute and beautiful, I might love her more than Joe." With these words, he couldn't help bursting into laughter.

Cherry said, "Jackson, it seems that you'll love a beautiful daughter more than you love me." She pretended to get a little jealous.

Jackson said, "Honey, of course you're beautiful, too. If we have a daughter, she will be a part of me and you so I will love her a lot. But, I'll still love you best."

Cherry was satisfied by his assurance and said, "That's sweet. I'm not worried any longer."

Jackson said, "Anyway, we don't need to talk about this anymore. The only thing we need to do is to have a daughter as soon as possible."
