Chapter 317 Designation (Part One)

Jackson lay on the bed with Cherry tightly held in his arms. He took a deep breath and smelled the sweet scent around her that had always made him fall into her charming aura.

"Jackson, go to sleep, I'm a little tired, " said Cherry, with her eyes closed. She had been busy all day long at the JS Group, and now all she wanted was to get a good night's sleep.

"Okay, " gently replied Jackson, with his arms still tightly wrapped around Cherry.

He held his wife firm in his arms every night they lay together in bed. Cherry had already gotten used to this, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.

At midnight, Cherry suddenly woke up startled from a nightmare. She couldn't help but scream and gasp for breath, suffocated by panic in the total darkness of the bedroom. Her back was drenched in cold sweat trickling down in streams, but she couldn't feel it.

Jackson was also woken up startled by the sudden commotion. He saw his wife sitting stiff as a board on the bed next to him, and he immediately sat up and reached out his arm to turn on the bedside lamp. He put his hands on her shoulders, but before he could ask her anything, Cherry already denied him.

"Don't touch me!" desperately cried out Cherry. She then tightly gripped the quilt in her trembling hands and wrapped herself in it, as if she were defending herself from a ruthless and uncanny enemy, who was Jackson.

Jackson could feel that Cherry was trembling like a leaf in the wind under the quilt, and he thought that she must have had a very bad nightmare.

"Baby, it's me, don't be afraid. What's wrong?" asked Jackson. He didn't come close to her, but instead simply stared at her with all the love and tenderness that he could reflect in his eyes.

But Cherry didn't reply, and she just silently sat on the bed with her head lowered and still panicked.

It almost killed him to see her in that state. Jackson carefully reached out his hands and gently asked her, "Baby, are you alright?"

With one hand on Cherry's shoulder and the other under her chin, Jackson slowly turned her face to the light and gazed for a moment in her eyes. After he saw the horror written on her face, he gently asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

After she saw that it was Jackson, Cherry began to slowly recover from her shock and slightly nodded.

Jackson then embraced Cherry tight in his arms. He spoke to her in a ge

“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!"

nced at the love of his life and saw that her face looked somehow drawn and gaunt, he instantly fell in a bad mood.

Joe also looked at her, and said, "Mommy, is it because you and Daddy went to sleep too late last night?"

After she heard him, Cherry stared at her son and said, "Just finish all of the food in your bowl, okay? Stop talking!"

"Okay, " said Joe as he pouted a little and lowered his head to enjoy his food.

As he looked at his Grandpa, Jackson calmly said, "I think it's because she's been too busy working these last couple of days. She's a little bit more tired than usual."

"Is it?" said Andrew. As he looked at Cherry, he continued to say, "Don't go to work if you feel tired. You can stay and rest here at home."

"It's okay, Grandpa. I'll recover this weekend and I'll be fine, " replied Cherry. She had never thought about slacking off on her job and responsibilities at the JS Group.

When he saw that Cherry insisted, Andrew nodded and didn't say anything to her anymore.

After they finished their breakfast, Jackson walked up to Cherry and gently said to her, "If you're not feeling well today, don't go to work. Stay here at home and rest, I'll take Joe to school."

Cherry looked into Jackson's eyes with great affection and then threw her arms around his neck. Acting like a spoiled child, she said, "I'm not tired, and I mean it. I can go to work, it's okay, but you can still take Joe to school, so I can go straight to the company."

"Okay, I'll also come to the company to see you in the afternoon, " said Jackson.

"I'll be there, " replied Cherry.
