Chapter 78 Leave Without Informing Others

At the international airport

After she got out of the taxi, Cherry saw Stephen waiting for her, and walked towards him.

Stephen also walked up to her, and saw that she had only brought one piece of luggage with her. He asked, "Cherry, are you sure that you'll be fine with just that bag?"

"Yes, I'm sure, " said Cherry.

She then took the ticket and passport from him and looked at the boarding time on the ticket. She said, "The flight will take off pretty soon, so I better go in."

Stephen was wistful, and while he soulfully looked at Cherry, he said, "Cherry, can you reconsider? I... I don't want you to leave."

Cherry took a deep breath, and while she pretended to be strong, she said, "Stephen, you already know that I want to live my own life."

Then she turned her head sideways, because she feared to look at Stephen. She knew that her heart was already too fragile to bear another hit, and if Stephen tried to persuade her to stay, then she might change her mind.

Stephen knew the sadness that lied deep in Cherry's heart, and he didn't ask her again, even though he was regretful. He comforted himself, 'I'll be happy as long as she is happy.'

"Well, will you at least contact me later?" Stephen hoped that he would speak to her again, and that his sadness will be eventually relieved in the future.

However, Cherry shook her head, and replied, "Well, Stephen, you already know that I want to start fresh, so I don't think that I'll contact you anymore."

When Stephen looked at Cherry, he saw tears in her eyes. At that moment, he felt that his heart had been slashed by a knife, but yet he couldn't say anything.

She pretended to be happy and said, "Stephen, I'm glad that you helped me; you're one of my most genuine friends. Thank you, but I have to leave now."

When she tried to move, Stephen suddenly grabbed her hand, and asked, "Cherry, when will you come back?"

Cherry shook her head, and at first didn't say anything. Silence reigned between them for some time, but she finally said, "I don't know, maybe never."

Stephen puckered his lips and didn't know what to say.

Cherry knew that he was sad,

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

Cherry seems to be your new life's mission now. Will you die if you ever stop missing her?"

"Shut up!" said Jackson.

Derek pretended to be sad, and replied, "I thought that you really cared Selina, but you just want to introduce Cherry to Selina. Alas, my heart is broken again."

He knew that Derek was joking, as he always did, and Jackson just ignored him.

After a while, Jackson said, "When Selina comes back, let's have dinner together and introduce her to Cherry. The two might like each other and become friends."

Derek nodded, and replied, "Indeed, Selina can have a great time with anyone. If she knows that Cherry is her sister-in-law, then she'll definitely spend a lot of time with her."

Jackson was unhappy after he heard that Selina might occupy Cherry's time, and said, "Derek, keep a close eye on Selina and have her stay at home."

Derek shrugged his shoulders, showing him that he couldn't control where Selina went either.

He parked the car in front of Jackson's home and saw the gates were locked. He said, "Alas, Jackson, it seems that Cherry is out and you still miss her."

Jackson didn't reply to him and instead got out of the car. Although he was a bit frustrated when he noticed the lock on the gates, he was still joyful that he would soon see her.

Jackson shook his head, and said, "Come and pick me up in two days."

"See you, " said Derek, and started the car's engine, and left.
