Cherry had leisure time and was carefree for the whole day. She sat in her office surfing the Internet or occasionally drinking tea, and just had to sign her name on some documents, because most of her work had been assigned to her staff.

In the afternoon, when Cherry was sitting in the office waiting to be off-duty, the phone suddenly rang.

Cherry took out her phone and saw it was Jackson.

She answered, "Hello?"

Jackson's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the line. He said, "Honey, are you busy now?"

"No, I had nothing to do the whole day, " said Cherry. She asked, "What's up? Why did you call me?"

"Oh, okay, " said Cherry calmly.

Jackson paused for a moment, and then said, "Don't kick off the quilt tonight, without me tucking you back in, you might catch a cold."

"Got it!" replied Joe.

Cherry then helplessly shook her head and walked into the house with her own bag and her son's schoolbag.

As soon as Cherry entered the living room, she saw Andrew coming down the stairs, with the butler following from behind.

Cherry smiled and greeted him, "Grandpa, I'm back home!"

"Well, already off-duty?" replied Andrew while smiling back at her.

"Yes!" replied Cherry, nodding.

"Where's Joe? He should have also arrived back home from school, right?" suddenly asked Andrew.

"He's having fun outside in the yard with other children. His friends called him as soon as he got out of the car, " answered Cherry.
