Chapter 74 What Did You Do

While she was in the car, Cherry thought for a while, and then said, "Stephen, could you please do me a favor?"

He was confused, and thought to himself, 'What could she want from me?'

"What?" asked Stephen.

"Keep my pregnancy a secret, " said Cherry, "Don't tell the others, not even Jackson."

Stephen was very surprised, and as he looked at Cherry and kept driving, his face stiffened. He asked, "Why do you want to hide this from him? Do you..."

But before he had the chance to finish his words, he was stopped by Cherry.

"Stephen, please don't ask me why. If you take me as your friend, then I hope that you will help me hide this from him. I don't want a third person, or any other person, to know that I'm with child, " said Cherry firmly.

Stephen, after a short silence, replied, "I get it."

Stephen didn't think too much of it, because as long as Cherry wanted to do something, he knew that she certainly had some kind of plan. If she didn't want to say it to him, then he wouldn't insist on it. He never wanted to force her to do anything; instead, he wanted to dote upon on her and do exactly as she wished him to.

Cherry forced a smile. She said, "Thank you."

Stephen didn't care about her thanks, and instead asked, "Cherry, do you want to have an abortion?"

When he mentioned this, Cherry turned her head and looked out the window. Complex thoughts then arose in her mind, and she said, "I haven't decided on it yet."

"But it's a baby, it still a life..." Stephen didn't have the heart to let Cherry get an abortion, and even if she did have one, she had no idea of how painful it would be.

Cherry stopped him, and said, "Stephen, could you please leave me alone?" The last thing that she wanted to do was to discuss about this child. A baby was indeed a gift from the heavens, but she was not ready to accept it quite yet. She found herself suddenly pregnant, and wondered what should she do? What the hell should she do next?

Stephen looked at Cherry, obeyed her wish and stopped talking.

After Stephen drove her to the front of the gate and parked the car, Cherry was ready to get out of it, but when she looked out

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

her, and furiously asked, "Don't you think that you should explain something to me?"

Cherry helplessly replied, "I have nothing to explain."

She then planned to go to sleep with her back turned to him.

Jackson suddenly seized her arm and pressed on her, and thought to himself, 'Have I spoiled her?'

Cherry quivered in terror because of him, and as she looked at Jackson, she asked, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you think I'll do?" replied Jackson. When he saw Cherry act so nonchalant, he couldn't wait to have sex with her.

"Jackson, I'm tired, and I want to rest, " said Cherry impatiently. She had no time, or energy, to play with him.

"Oh, you're tired? What did you do with Stephen today?" asked Jackson. He still didn't let her go. How could he possibly sleep if he didn't figure out what she had done with that man?

"I didn't do anything. Don't you believe me?" said Cherry. She really didn't want to continue arguing with him like that.

"Do you think I'm stupid? If you didn't do anything, then why were you in his car?" Jackson didn't believe her for a second, and instead continued, "I know what Stephen thinks better than anyone else. Even better than him!"

Jackson knew exactly Stephen's purpose. He thought to himself, 'Stephen wants to take all that's precious to me, but he'll never take Cherry away from me. I'll guard Cherry desperately, and leave no chance for him to take her away from me.'
