Chapter 427 The Departure (Part Two)

Cherry explained, "I worry about you. You know how nightclubs are! Full of chaos, and unruly people, with fights and people hurt."

Jackson caressed Cherry's cheek as he smiled down at her saying, "You don't have to be worried. Remember, as the boss of the new JC Group, I don't meddle in nightclub issues. I have employees to deal with things like that. Plus, " when Jackson paused, his smile grew wider, then he went on, "You and Joe are much more important to me than work. I know what I want, so don't worry, Cherry."

Cherry's eyes reflected the sweet swelling in her heart brought on by Jackson's words.

She nodded, "I believe you."

Jackson hugged Cherry to him and whispered in her ear, "You are my only love, forever."

Jackson's honeyed words made Cherry long to stay in his warm hug and that blissful moment forever.

They stood there on the sidewalk with only the night sky and few street lamps watching; hugging each other a long time. Finally, Jackson loosed his grip and took her by the hand before resuming their walk.

Strolling alongside Jackson, Cherry asked, "Jackson, will you do me a favor?"

"Of course, you just need to ask." Jackson murmured softly.

Cherry said, "Don't change the bar where Emily worked, please, keep it the way it is."

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

brings you in the future. Remember, If you need anything, don't hesitate to let us know! We'll be right there at your side." Cherry paused, breathing in when she felt herself becoming emotional, she went on, "If you fall in love, don't hesitate to pursue the lucky lady. A man should have a lifelong partner."

"Don't you worry about me. I know what to do in future. Don't worry." Stephen pretended to be stronger than he felt right that moment.

The tears that had been threatening Cherry began rolling down her cheeks, as she thought back, and remembered Stephen had said those exact words to her five years ago. At that time, though, Cherry was the one leaving and Stephen the nostalgic one. Stephen genuinely told her back then, to take care, to forget the painful past and try to find happiness. Five years had gone by since then, and now it was Cherry's turn to see Stephen off. Maybe life was just a like a bus full of passengers, while some got off and would stay, other times they would climb back on and be gone for a while, or forever.

As Stephen walked away, Cherry couldn't stop herself from crying.
