Chapter 13 Fancy Dinner In A Good Mood

An hour later, when Cherry Shen saw the elaborate dinner laid out in front, she finally felt happy. She smiled. "Wow, there is so much delicious food. I have never had such fancy dinner before."

Jackson passed the chopsticks to her and said, "Just eat."

Cherry took the chopsticks and immediately started to eat. While eating, she cheerfully praised Jackson, "These preparations are all very delicious. You cook better than Shen's housemaid does."

Looking at Cherry, Jackson felt sad. She must have lived a hard life in Shen House. If not, she wouldn't have been so excited by this dinner. And she also looked really thin and weak.

At night, Cherry wrapped herself in a quilt and lay on the bed. She was afraid that Jackson, who was lying next to her, might make moves on her.

"Come here and lie in my arms." Said Jackson, suddenly. He stretched his arms and beckoned to Cherry to come and sleep in his arms.

"No! You look dangerous." Cherry shook her head. She would not be fooled.

"Cherry, who would you like to take the initiative, you or me?" Jackson asked. He wondered why this woman was so difficult to cajole.

"No one will take the initiative. Let's sleep separately." Cherry said firmly. The bed was big enough and it would be nice if they could sleep separately, without interacting with each other.

"Cherry, come on. If you come over here, I'll leave you alone tonight." Jackson had never imagined that he would be so patient with this woman.

"No. I don't believe you." Cherry thought that Jackson was the most dangerous person at this moment. He was as dangerous as a wolf.

As soon as Cherry finished her sentence, Jackson moved towards her.

He grabbed the quilt off Cherry's body and pulled her into his arms.

They were so close to each other that Cherry could clearly smell his unique Jackson smell.

Cherry kept on struggling. She would not allow any man to assault her again, even though she was not a virgin now and he was her nominal husband.

"Don't move or I won't be able to control myself anymore." Said Jackson. His tone was a bit bossy and harsh. He sounded serious.

Cherry appeared frightened. She could tell that Jackson was not joking.

Cherry calmed down. She did not want to make things more dangerous for her.

Lying in Jackson's arms, Cherry remained still.

Jackson was now satisfied with this well-behaved woman. He preferred women who were patient, tender and obedient.

Jackson looked at Cherry's face closely and asked her, concerned, "Is it painful?"

Cherry knew what he was talking about. A touch of sadness flowed into her heart. "I'm used to it." Said Cherry, lightly.

Her words made Jackson's heart ache. Was she used to it? Did that mean Jean hit her often?

Cherry did not know why, but she wanted to tell Jackson all about her past.

"I have been disliked by the Shen family members since I was a child. In the past, when I was hit or felt sad, I could go find my mom. But later, my mom went abroad with Uncle Jacob and I had nowhere to go. I can only hide the sorrows in my heart. You have seen it yesterday, haven't you? Aunt Jade and Jean have always treated me like that."

Jackson didn't say anything. He had already known it. What the woman said and he had seen matched what his investigation revealed.

"I won't let Jean get away with this." Said Jackson, sternly. His eyes were filled with hatred.

However, Cherry said, lightly, "Forget it. She is just like that. What can you do to her? Even killing her won't lessen my hatred."

Cherry had a deep-rooted hatred for Jean, but she had never actually taken revenge on her. She just played it out in her mind.

"And Jade Qiao. I'll not let them go, all those who have ever bullied you." Jackson had made up his mind this time. For t

It all starts on that fateful night.

When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I did no such thing!"

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

he first time, he wanted to protect a woman.

Cherry knew that Jackson really meant it. Even though she hadn't seen it herself, she could guess the power wielded by Jackson and the Chu family.

"Forget it. Now that I have left the Shen household, they have nothing to do with me and they can't hurt me any longer." Said Cherry. She looked into Jackson's eyes, in all seriousness.

Jackson didn't say a word, but he couldn't understand why Cherry could so easily let go of those who had hurt her in the past. Was she really that stupid?

Seeing Jackson not objecting to her request, Cherry lowered her head, buried herself in Jackson's arms and stopped talking.

"We'll take wedding photos tomorrow. The marriage certificate will be issued in a few days and our wedding party will be held in two weeks. These are grandpa's wishes, " said Jackson.

"Well, we'll do as grandpa wishes." Cherry nodded.

In her world, apart from her mother, Emily and Jackson were the most important people. Although she didn't know Jackson well yet, she intended to live with him for the rest of her life. Even if she didn't love him, life had to go on.

It was a sunny day when Jackson and Cherry went to take wedding photos outdoors. After a day of make-up, changing dresses and visiting various locations, they were exhausted.

Derek, who was following them, kept on complaining that he was tired. Jackson gave him a warning glare.

Derek drove Jackson and Cherry home when they finished the photo shoot. As he was leaving, Derek couldn't help but complain, "It's really troublesome getting married. Just taking wedding photos has already been so exhausting. I won't get married."

Jackson ignored his complaints.

However, Cherry smiled and said, "Derek, if a guy as handsome as you refuses to get married, how many women do you think will be heartbroken?"

Hearing Cherry speak highly of Derek, both Derek and Jackson's expression changed. Derek was elated while Jackson put on a sulky expression.

Derek said, happily, "Cherry, are you serious? Am I really handsome?"

Cherry nodded and said, "Of course, I have a good eye for beauty."

Before Derek could say anything more, Jackson spoke coldly to him, "You can go now."

Derek shrugged and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."

After Derek drove away, Jackson grabbed Cherry by her waist and held her in his arms.

"What are you doing?" asked Cherry. Cherry was a bit surprised by his action. This man was always so aggressive and she was not allowed to resist.

"Is he really that handsome?" Jackson asked, coldly.

Looking at his creased brows, Cherry burst out laughing when she realized that he was jealous.

"What are you laughing at?" Jackson asked.

"Nothing…" Cherry held back her laughter. This man sometimes acted like a child.

Jackson Chu persisted, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Well." Cherry answered, earnestly, "Derek is handsome, but Chief Chu is more handsome. Is that all right with you?"

Jackson was a bit satisfied with her words.

"Cherry, you must remember that in the future you are not allowed to look at other men. You can only look at me." Said Jackson, as he put his arm around Cherry's shoulder. They walked to the apartment.

"Why? I'm an independent person. I have the right to look at men." Said Cherry. Cherry decided she wouldn't be that obedient.

"You are my woman." Said Jackson, bossily.

"Who is your woman? I'm not." Said Cherry.

"Will you admit to being my woman after I take action tonight?"

"Jackson, don't mess around."

"What do you consider is messing around?"

"If you offend me, you are messing around."

"Does this count?"

"Jackson, you!"

"Cherry, don't ever try to leave me."

"Jackson, why are you touching my breast? You bastard!"
