Chapter 200 Find John A New Wife

They walked inside the living room, and Andrew showed Joe the whole Chu quarters as well as Joe's

own room.

Joe happily said, "Wow, Great-Grandpa, there are so many toys here!"

"Yes, there are. I didn't know what you like, so I've bought all kinds of toys for you to choose from."

Andrew couldn't erase the smile on his face ever since he first laid eyes on Joe.

Joe gladly said, "Thank you very much!"

Jackson, Cherry and Derek sat in the living room and watched Andrew come back downstairs with Joe.

As soon as Joe went downstairs, he ran to his Mommy, held her hand, and said, "Mommy, Mommy,

you won't believe how many toys Great-Grandpa bought for me! I love all of them!"

Cherry smiled to her son, and said, "If you love the toys, then you should thank your Great-Grandpa."

Joe looked at Andrew again, and said, "Thank you, Great-Grandpa!"

Hearing his words, Andrew became even happier. He smiled to Joe, and then said to Cherry, "Cherry,

you've taught Joe very well! He's so adorable!"

After Cheery heard him, she just smiled, but didn't reply back.

Then, all the people in the living room suddenly heard footsteps, and they looked towards the door.

Lucia, holding Edwin's arm, entered the living room, followed by John.

When he saw them, Andrew slightly smiled, while all the other people calmly looked at them.

Joe didn't know what was going on, so he just watched the three approaching them.

With a smile on her face, Lucia said, "Grandpa, we're here!"

Edwin greeted Andrew with respect, "Hello, Grandfather."

John also greeted him, "Hello, Great-Grandpa."

"Hello, hello! It's great that you all came back here today! It's such a rare opportunity for us to be all

together here happily!" said Andrew gladly. It was a great joy for him to see all of his family members

get together in the same room.

Lucia looked at Cherry, and then looked at Joe, who was sitting next to his mother.

"Oh, it's no wonder that Andrew is so happy today! You've finally given birth to a son." Lucia's tone was

obviously not friendly; instead, it was sarcastic.

After Cherry heard her words, she thought for a while, and as she smiled, she replied, "Yes, and I've

brought my son back. Sister, why don't you also give birth to a new one?"

After she heard Cherry's words, Joe immediately understood that the woman with whom his Mommy

was talking to was wicked.

"You!" Lucia's face suddenly twitched. She looked at Cherry, and felt that she couldn't retort to her in

this environment. Eventually, she helplessly said, "It's enough for me to have my John."

Cherry said nothing more to her, and instead looked away.

Derek knew that Cherry and Lucia's relationship wasn't on the best of terms, and when he saw that

Jackson had no reaction, he also stood silently.

Edwin smiled, and while he pretended to be kind, he asked, "Cherry, when did you come back?"

Cherry's tone wasn't as cold as it was before. She smiled at him, and answered, "Brother-in-law, I've

already been back for some time."

Edwin replied, "Great, I'm so happy that you came back! I really hope that you can be with Jackson and

live with him."

"Thanks, " said Cherry as she nodded her head.

Joe watched the people around him, and thought that all the other people were nice to his Mommy

except the woman who had talked to his Mommy a moment ago. It meant that the woman was a bad

person.

John then suddenly walked up to Joe with a smile on his face. He stood in front of him, and after he

squatted, he asked, "Are you Joe?"

Joe nodded; he then looked up, and asked Cherry, "Mommy, who is this uncle?"

The man looked younger than his Daddy, but seemed to be about the same age as his Mommy, so Joe

decided to call him uncle.

Cherry touched her son's head, and said, "Joe, this is your cousin, John."

Joe then immediately knew that the man was the bad woman's son, but he looked nicer than her. He

was polite and easygoing, and people tended not to keep him out.

"Hello, Cousin John!" said Joe with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Joe! You're so cute. Do you know that?" said John. He thought that Joe was indeed Jackson

and Cherry's son, because Joe looked very much like his uncle.

Joe suddenly thought of something, and after he looked at Andrew, he said, "Great-Grandpa, are there

any other kids here? I want to play with them."

Andrew happily replied, "Of course they are. The place is huge, and there are a lot of kids around here

for you to play with!"

Derek then figured out what he should do, and he quickly walked to Joe, and said, "Joe, let's go and

play with the other kids, okay? I know a lot of kids here."

"Yes, Yes!" Joe was very happy.

Derek looked at Andrew, and the latter happily nodded to him.

Joe said to his mother, "Mommy, I'm going to hang out with Uncle Derek! Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Cherry nodded to him and then looked at Derek. She said, "Be careful, don't let him out of your sight!"

"Okay, okay, take it easy, " quickly replied Derek. He then added, "Cherry, see you later!"

Cherry nodded to him.

After she saw Joe leave, Lucia was very unsatisfied and shouted, "What's such the big deal in having a

son? I already knew that Cherry had screwed around and got pregnant."

Lucia's words astonished everyone present in the living room.

Cherry glared at Lucia. Five years ago, Cherry could bear Lucia's bad attitude towards her, but now,

she couldn't stand anymore to let Lucia humiliate her like that.

John furiously said, "Mom, could you please shut up?"

"Why? What did I say? Did I say something wrong? She's been missing for five years! We have no idea

what she has done in the past five years, but now she suddenly comes back with her son. Why is she

so applauded?" Then Lucia looked at Cherry, and continued to say, "You're the same bitch that you

were five years ago!"

Lucia was jealous on Cherry. Five years had past and Cherry's face was still as young and beautiful as

it had ever been. Even though Cherry had had a son, she still looked very adorable, and didn't have

any wrinkles on her face. Lucia didn't know how Cherry took so good care of herself and why did

Cherry's skin looked so healthy.

"Mom, please shut up! Joe looks exactly like my uncle. How could he be someone else's son?" John

then pulled Lucia's arm to stop her from saying anything more.

"Who knows?" defiantly said Lucia as she stared at Cherry.

"Watch your mouth!" said Cherry. She glared at Lucia with eyes filled with fury, and added, "It's none of

your business to comment on what I've done!"

"Haha!" Lucia then shook away John's hands and walked up to Cherry, and as she stared at her, she

said, "Cherry Shen! You've married Jackson, and now you're a member of the Chu Family, so don't

blame us for teaching you lesson! All of our Family members are good people, and if you dare to cheat

on Jackson, we won't let you off so easily!"

Cherry wasn't afraid of her. She didn't show her weakness, and instead she looked into Lucia's eyes,

and seriously said, "Lucia, it's true that I've married Jackson, but again, that's none of your business!

Who do you think you are? Jackson and I will deal with our own affairs, and besides, our Grandpa said

nothing. Do you really think that you're more powerful than our Grandpa in this family?"

"You!" Lucia was lost for words, and didn't know what to say anymore. If she continued, then she would

indicate that she indeed thought that she was more powerful than Andrew, just as Cherry had

previously stated. Besides, Andrew was sitting right there next to them, and she wasn't bold enough to

say anything more in front of Andrew.

Seeing what was going on, John quickly pulled Lucia a few paces away from Cherry, and said, "Mom,

shut up, please!"

John then looked at Cherry, and said, "Cherry, I'm sorry, my mom is always like this. Don't let it get to

you."

Cherry had a glance at John and said nothing. If it were not for him, she would argue and even fight

with Lucia in front of their Grandpa.

Jackson, who was sitting next to Cherry, said nothing all the time. When he saw that Cherry and John

were staring at each other, he felt uneasy, and wondered whether the two of them were flirting with

each other. He said nothing because he wanted to know that what John would do for Cherry. Lucia was

his mother, but Cherry was the woman that he had loved. Who would John choose? Jackson didn't

expect that John finally chose Cherry's side and scolded his mother for her bad behaviour. Jackson

thought that his nephew, John, was indeed very romantic.

Cherry was a little angry, and when she saw Jackson's silent reaction, she was also very disappointed.

Jackson was her husband and Joe's Daddy, and just before they had arrived at the military's residential

compound, he had told her that he would do everything for her. However, Lucia had just insulted her,

and he had said nothing. Why had he decided to sit and watch? Or did he actually think that Joe wasn't

his son?

After he saw what was happening, Andrew suddenly turned his look onto Jackson. Andrew had been This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

also silent, because Jackson didn't say anything, but if Jackson, his grandson, had said something for

Cherry, then he would have certainly been on Cherry's side. After all, Lucia's words were very harsh

and rude.

He then suddenly said, "Okay, okay, calm down! It's such a rare opportunity for all of us to get together,

why are you arguing now?"

Andrew then looked at Lucia, and continued, "Lucia, look at what you've done just now! Jackson and

Cherry came here to see me, so please don't argue with anyone else anymore. Even John can't stand

you, and I really think that you should work on your temper. In so many years, you haven't worked on it

once!"

"Grandpa, did I say anything wrong? I.." But before she could finish, she saw that Andrew gestured her

to stop talking.

"Shut up already! Jackson will take care of Cherry's affair by his own. Why do you need to worry about

this? If you have nothing to do, then go and find John a wife! Before I die, I want my grandchildren to

have children, and then I'll finally be satisfied, " seriously said Andrew. That was the true thought

generated in his heart since he met the youngest generation of the Chu Family. Joe looked exactly like

Jackson, and he never suspected for a moment that Joe wasn't his great-grandson. In the near future,

he hoped that John also started a happy family, but since John had divorced five years ago, marriage

had been the last thing on his mind. If things continued to go on like this, Andrew really worried that

John would eventually be aIone forever.
