Chapter 42 Questioning

When Jackson learned that Cherry was at Emily's home, he rushed there with Derek.

Emily heard a knock on her door, she went to the door and opened it. The next moment, she was surprised to see the two men standing outside.

"Jackson Chu, why are you here?" asked Emily.

"You should know what I'm here for, " said Jackson, coldly.

Of course she knew. She looked at Jackson and said, "Cherry's still sleeping on the sofa. Don't disturb her."

With these words, Emily walked into the room, beckoning Jackson and Derek to come in, too.

As soon as Derek and Jackson entered Emily's house, they saw Cherry curled up on the sofa.

Emily whispered, "I don't know what happened between you two. Cherry refused to talk about it. But I hope you won't hurt her. She has lived a really hard life since she was a child."

Jackson listened to Emily's words without defending himself. He looked at Cherry, who was asleep, and felt distressed.

Standing next to Jackson, Derek looked at Cherry but did not say anything either. He could not comment on Jackson's private affairs.

Emily looked at her watch and was nervous. She said to Jackson, "I must go now, otherwise I'll be late for work. Please take good care of Cherry. There's food in the refrigerator. Bring her some when she wakes up."

Jackson nodded, without saying anything.

Derek thought that Jackson was going to stay here for a while, so he said to Emily, "Let me drive you to work."

Emily had not expected Derek would say this. She asked, shyly, "Is it convenient for you?"

"It's okay. I guess that Jackson is not leaving now. And I have nothing else to do, " said Derek. Derek was trying to give Jackson and Cherry more privacy to get along with each other. Seeing that they were both suffering, as Jackson's good friend, he too felt miserable.

Emily nodded when she saw that Jackson was not against the plan.

After Derek and Emily were gone, Jackson slowly approached Cherry. He sat on the sofa and looked at his woman, who was sleeping. He felt a touch of sadness flow through his heart.

She had lost a lot of weight and it must be because she hadn't slept well without him next to her at night.

Jackson reached out and tenderly stroked her cheek. He wanted to take good c

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

art?" Cherry approached Jackson and asked him.

"Honey, do you have to ask it this way?" Jackson's tone gradually hardened, and his mind was in turmoil. He wanted to handle these things well, but he did not know how to explain it to Cherry.

"Then how do you expect me to ask it?" Cherry's face went cold. "You said that you loved me and wanted to protect me, but what about Sally He? Who is she to you? You abandoned me as soon as she came back. In your heart, she is more important than I am. She is your true love while I am just your nominal wife. Isn't that right?" asked Cherry, angrily.

"It's not like what you are thinking, " said Jackson, helplessly.

Cherry did not want to continue with this topic. She looked at the ceiling and asked the question that had bothered her for a long time, "Then can you tell me what happened between you and Sally He that year? Why did she leave?"

Jackson's face tightened. That year? It was a painful memory that could never be wiped away from his heart.

Seconds passed by, slowly.

The whole bedroom fell silent. Jackson did not answer her question.

Cherry kept on waiting. Finally, she gave up, slowly closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

Jackson looked at the ceiling, distracted. He was not ready to tell the story to Cherry. It was about hatred among three families. It was a nightmare and had been a source of great pain for him. He hadn't forgotten about it even after so many years. How could he let Cherry suffer from it too?
