Chapter 244 I Will Kill You

Later that afternoon, Jackson and Cherry headed downstairs. Grandpa was down there already, sitting in the living room.

Cherry greeted Andrew respectfully when she got to the living room, "Grandpa."

Andrew nodded, smiling at his beloved grandson and granddaughter-in-law, "Hello! There you are! When will you be going home?"

Jackson glanced at the wall clock and replied, "In a minute. We were just going find Joe now."

Andrew said, "Oh, maybe he is still playing out in the yard. Check out there."

Cherry nodded and followed Jackson out of the room.

The moment they got outside, Cherry saw Joe playing with a group of children not far away.

"Look how happy they are!" Cherry's voice sounded happy.

Jackson put his arm around her shoulder and smiled, "Childhood always looks like this, doesn't it?"

Cherry didn't smile. Instead, she said bitterly, "Jackson, when I was away, I blamed myself for not giving Joe a happy childhood or family."

Jackson understood Cherry's feelings. Over the past five years, he had suffered a lot too. He had tried to hate Cherry and wanted to punish her, kill her even; but, in his heart, he secretly hoped she could come back to him. So, when Cherry did return, and he saw her at the hotel, all he wanted was to hold her in his arms and be with her forever. He abandoned all his principles and was entirely out of control with her. The fact was that he couldn't hate her. He wanted nothing more than to love and spoil her. Even though she had hided Joe from him, he couldn't stay angry at her for long. To get her, to keep her, he realized, he was willing to do anything. The only thing he wanted was to spend the rest of his life loving her.

Jackson gripped her shoulder, watching their son playing and said in an earnest tone, "Babe, you and Joe will be extremely happy in the future. I'll try my best to make you the happiest wife and son in the world."

Cherry turned and studied him carefully and then nodded her head. She believed in the man standing in front of her, which was why she had married him and let him control her destiny.

Jackson tenderly touched her face, and they looked into each other's eyes smiling contentedly.

When Cherry turned back around to watch her son again, she noticed that a woman was standing silently in front of the gate, watching the group of children.

"Sally!" Cherry couldn't help but yell and her smile soured at the sight of the woman.

When she yelled, Jackson turned and looked in the direction Cherry was glaring at.

Cherry recovered from her astonishment and released herself from Jackson. She rushed to the children, because she wanted to protect her son from any harm.

Jackson saw Sally glaring at the group of children with hatred. He guessed she must be looking for Joe, and Cherry's actions convinced him that Sally was there because of Joe.

Sally, stood at th

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

out of nowhere and was really smart. What he told her earlier shouldn't be said by a child his age. So, Sally couldn't believe any of this.

Sally started to laugh suddenly, "Ha, ha!" Then she glanced at Jackson then Cherry and said snidely, "Your family is quite a happy little family. Ha, ha!"

Jackson snapped, "Sally, if you've finished your words, leave. If anyone sees you here, you know the consequence."

Sally didn't care about any of that though. She looked around and then back to Jackson shrugging, "So what? If they know I'm still alive, they wouldn't believe that all the members of He family are dead. And what if they do report to the leaders at military command?Will they ask me who saved my life?"

Jackson gave Sally a stern look but didn't know how to answer her question. If people found out Sally was still alive, then he would be implicated. After all, it was the Chu Family who had protected Sally many years ago, which meant this would influence his grandfather too.

When Jackson didn't say anything Sally continued, "I didn't expect you to have a son. But Jackson, I'm telling you, I won't allow you to have any child."

Her last words were tyrannical sounding.

Jackson glared at Sally and said venomously, "If you dare hurt him, you'll never escape."

Jackson's words astonished Cherry and Joe. Cherry looked at Jackson's face and saw how furious he was.

Sally sneered, and looked at Cherry, "Cherry, you have dared to bring your son here, so that means you're ready to fight me. I want to see how you do against me."

Jackson voice was grave, "Sally, if you hurt anyone in my family, I'll kill you." His tone and the look in his eyes said he wasn't kidding.

Sally thought to herself, 'Years ago, Jackson has been desperate to save my life, now, to protect his wife and son, he wants me to die. So, doesn't he love me anymore?' Sally felt sad and she couldn't help crying.
