Chapter 304 The Warmth of Home (Part Two)

They walked off to find a quiet place and sat on a bench to chat.

"Cherry, is something wrong?" There was concern in Derek's voice as he asked her.

Cherry had a worried expression as she nodded.

"What happened? Is this about Jackson hitting you?" Derek knew everything.

Cherry shook her head and in a calm tone, said, "No, that's no big deal. He hit me impulsively. I know what kind of person he is."

Derek didn't say anymore as he thought, 'Cherry knows Jackson very well! After all, they have been married for a long time, they must know each other very well.'

Cherry looked over at Derek asking him, "Derek, do you know everything about Jackson?"

Derek was shocked wondering, 'What will Cherry ask about Jackson?'

"Cherry, you..." Derek didn't know how to answer.

Cherry turned away, averting her eyes as she went on, "I know you won't tell me. Not one of you will tell me about Jackson's past."

"No, that's not the case." Derek hastily said. He wanted to be sincere with Cherry, but he wan't supposed to tell her the truth. He comforted her, "Cherry, there are some things you are better not knowing. You have to trust Jackson. He must have a good reason if he doesn't want you to know."

Upon hearing that, Cherry didn't utter a word.

She sat quietly thinking for a while and then said, "What's the relationship between Mond and Jackson?"

Cherry's words completely stunned Derek and he hastily explained, "Cherry, honestly, I can't talk to you about this. You need to ask Jackson."

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

ut all his time and effort into the barracks and the JS Group. He and I were often at the JS Group back then, and someone spread the news that Jackson was the JS Group's investor and owner. Selina didn't deny the news after hearing it, which is why it continues to perpetuate now."

"In this case, the JS Group has nothing to do with the Chu family though, right?" asked Cherry. She understood that Jackson had done all this for Derek and Selina.

Derek nodded and said, "You are right. He did it for me. I told him I didn't want Selina to bear too much pressure and asked him to help me. Cherry, you do understand why we did it, don't you?"

Cherry nodded, without saying a word.

Derek explained further, "As a matter of fact, active duty soldiers are not allowed to go into business. Though the rumors were that Jackson was the investor of the JS Group, the legal representative is Selina. So there is no proof that Jackson is involved with the JS Group. Otherwise, there would certainly be a lot of people against Jackson and me."

Cherry didn't say anything. When she looked at Derek, she knew he was being sincere.
