Chapter 36 An Unexpected Guest (Part One)

While in the vehicle, Stephen asked, "Cherry, would you like to live in my suburban?villa for a few days? I live in the urban house."

"No, that's okay. Just drive me back home." Cherry replied.

"But Jackson has treated you like that, why would you still want to go back to that house?" Stephen was a bit confused. Why would Cherry still want to go back home in spite of what Jackson had done to her?

Cherry kept silent and gazed at the scenery outside the window. She felt so tired.

Maybe she shouldn't have married Jackson to begin with. Perhaps she should have forgiven John. Then things would not have come to this. But since all that was water under the bridge, she should now focus on what was coming.

Cherry told herself, "Just keep going forward."

Dropping Cherry at her?home, Stephen looked at her and was worried about her.

"Cherry, are you really okay?" Stephen couldn't help asking.

Cherry nodded, "It's all right. I will call you if there is any issue."

All Stephen could do was nod in agreement.

Cherry had hardly settled in when Jackson came back.

As soon as Jackson entered the house, he saw Cherry sitting on the sofa, which made him feel content. He was always worried when Cherry was not at home.

Jackson walked up to her and sat down, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and asked, "Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"

"Jackson, maybe we should talk." Cherry turned her head towards Jackson.

"Talk about what?" Jackson asked.

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

Jackson came to the living room and saw that Sally He was playing games on her phone. He went to her.

"Jackson, come here and help me pass this level. This game is so difficult, " Sally He said, like a pampered child.

Sitting beside Sally He, Jackson did not take the phone from her hand. Instead, he said, "Sally, Derek just called me and I have to go back to the army barracks. You will have to stay at home alone."

"You are leaving?" Sally He was a bit upset and looked at Jackson, angrily.

"You know that I can't disobey the order, " Jackson did not feel the need to explain further.

Sally He calmed down a bit and asked, "Well, when will you come back?"

"Maybe after several days. I won't know until I get back to the barracks, " Jackson said, peacefully.

Sally He did not say anything else.

Jackson stood up and prepared to leave.

Sally He stood up immediately as well and held Jackson from behind. Putting her head on Jackson's back, Sally He said, reluctantly, "Come back early. I'm afraid of being alone."
