Chapter 212 Nobody Can Be Trusted

Back at the villa, Joe, Bill and Lily were all waiting for the couple in the living room.

Joe then saw his Daddy furiously coming in the house followed by a man, and then by his Mommy.

He cheerfully ran to his mother, and joyfully cried, "Mommy, Mommy, you're back!"

But Joe was stopped by Bobby before he had the chance to embrace his mother. He didn't allow Joe to come any closer to Cherry.

Joe tried to break away from Bobby's grasp, but all of his efforts were in vain.

"Let me go, let me go, I want my Mommy!" shouted Joe, again and again, but to no avail.

Bill and Lily didn't have the slightest idea about what had happened, so they just stood like onlookers as they watched the scene.

Jackson suddenly shouted at his son, "Joe Shen!"

Joe then immediately became quiet. Looking at the fire burning in his father's eyes and at the terrible expression drawn all over his tensed face, Joe suddenly felt very frightened of him.

After he saw that Joe was quiet, Jackson turned to look at Bobby, and said, "Bobby, arrange for some security guards to watch over the villa, and she isn't allowed to leave the villa anymore."

Jackson's words shocked everyone, and Cherry looked at him in despair. Did he want to imprison her in the house?

"Mr. Jackson, " suddenly said Lily, totally unaware of what had happened between the two of them. Why did Jackson do this? They were always devoted to each other like a loving couple, weren't they? It could be easily seen that he loved Cherry deeply, but what he did now was to restrict Cherry's freedom.

Jackson then turned his eyes onto Lily and Bill, and said, "Listen to me very carefully: what you need to do is just to prepare the food well for her, and as for you Bill, there will be no need for you to drive her to work anymore, you'll only need to drive Joe to school in the morning. From now on, these are all of your responsibilities."

Seeing Jackson's angry face, Lily and Bill didn't dare to say a word, and while they nodded their heads, they briefly answered, "We understand."

Joe seemed to have already known something in his mind, but he wasn't reconciled to it. He eventually got rid of Bobby's grip, and as he turned and walked up to his father, he asked, "Daddy, why do you treat Mommy in such a terrible way?"

Jack

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...

could he stand to see her in such an intimate way with another man?

He wasn't thinking straight when he said those awful words to her in the hotel. Although those remarks hadn't come from the bottom of his heart, she maybe believed they did.

Jackson stared at the ceiling very confused, and didn't know how to deal with the current predicament. He didn't know what to do with Cherry. He wanted to hug her and to enjoy her sweet scent as he fell asleep, but instead he had treated her terribly. Would she hate him deeply and never forgive him for it? Was it really possible for her to forgive him?

In Cherry's room, Joe carefully caressed his Mommy's face. Cherry's frowning made him heart rendered, because he knew that his Mommy hurt greatly.

Joe couldn't help to ask her, "Mommy, are you in pain?"

Cherry lightly smiled and shook her head.

He knew that his Mommy was pretending to be strong, because he knew her well. "Mommy, what happened today?"

Her son's question reminded her of the scene in the hotel and of Jackson's ironic remarks, and an unbearable pain suddenly pierced her heart again.

Cherry looked at her son, and while she pretended to be strong, she said, "Joe, please remember that you can only trust me. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Cherry started to guard herself against Jackson, because it seemed that she knew very little about him. He had too many secrets, and when he was mad, he was just like a demon. He frightened her terribly, and she didn't want Joe to be harmed by him as well.
