Chapter 241 Whose Son (Part One)

Jackson rolled over, and gazing at Cherry with concern asked her, "Babe, what's up? What's on your mind?"

Cherry's heart skipped a beat, "Nothing serious." she responded hastily.

"Well, what're you thinking about?" Jackson asked her. He was frustrated anytime Cherry was troubled about something if he didn't know what it was. He never wanted her to frown or feel unhappy at all.

Cherry decided to keep her thoughts about what happened to herself and instead told him, "I'm wondering if grandpa is upset and going to blame me for taking Joe away when I bring him out there tomorrow."

Jackson hadn't realized Cherry might be worried about grandpa's possible objection, "You're ridiculous. I promise grandpa will be pleased to see you and Joe."

"Alright, if you say so." Cherry told him as she pressed her body against his, "Honey, I'm tired. Let's sleep."

"Ok, " Jackson agreed as he turned the bedside table lamp off and then rolled to hold Cherry in his arms.

Joe bounced happily into their bedroom, and seeing them sleeping; he stood at the door shouting, "Daddy, Mommy, it's time to get up. We're going to the military residential compound today!"

he three of them, made Andrew extremely happy. He stretched his arms to capture Joe in his embrace, "Kid, you are finally here to visit." he said excitedly.

The butler was standing nearby and smiled seeing his master happily holding his great-grandson in his arms.

Jackson and Cherry walked over to Andrew and greeted him politely.

"Grandpa." Jackson said.

"Grandpa, we're back." Cherry announced with a big smile.

"It's good. I wanted to call and ask when you're going to come visit. Recently, I have dreamed about Joe staying with me." Andrew told them cheerfully. His good mood now that he had his family was evident.

"Great-grandpa, is that true? You dreamed about me?" Joe asked, his surprise could be heard in his voice and seen on his face.

"Yes, it's true. I think about you all the time! You didn't know that?" Andrew smiled, as he looked down at his great-grandson nestled in his arms.

"I miss you too. I would have come sooner. I wanted to come earlier in the morning. But Daddy and Mommy wouldn't get up, and would have slept longer if I hadn't woken them." Joe confided in a cute childish manner.
