Chapter 21 The Gathering In The Chu Family (Part One) (2/2)

The whole room was filled with the scent of love.

Next morning, when Cherry opened her eyes, she saw Jackson staring at her, seriously, like a devil.

”What are you doing?” asked Cherry.

”Looking at you. How could you look so ugly while you are sleeping?” Jackson joked. But his heart was full of warmth and happiness. He had never felt so warm, as he did with this woman beside him.

”Then why do you stare at me? Get out of here!” Cherry pretended to be angry and turned her back to Jackson.

Jackson took advantage of the situation to hold Cherry from behind. He said,”No matter how ugly you are, I will stare at you because you are my woman.”

”Jackson, do you need to emphasize that every time?” said Cherry. Since she had married Jackson, she had decided to be with him her entire lifetime. Though there might be no love between them, they were now a couple.

”Remember my words. No contact with John!” said Jackson, sternly.

”Okay, I promise you.” said Cherry, decisively. But she suddenly turned over, looked into Jackson's eyes and said, seriously,”Then will you stop being hostile to John and not reject his application for governorship?”

”Are you interceding on his behalf?” said Jackson, in a glum tone.

”No. I just think it is unnecessary. Since I have nothing more to do with John, you needn't go ahead with your order. If you do it, others may think I still have something going on with John,” replied Cherry. She really didn't want to have anything to do with John.

Looking into her eyes, Jackson could tell that she did not have John in her heart anymore.

He did not say a word.

From his silence, Cherry knew that Jackson had agreed to her request. So she smiled happily and said,”So you don't have to go back to the barracks today?”

”I can stay at home these days,” replied Jackson, wondering what this woman was going to do.

”That's good. Today is weekend, so how about going shopping with me? Emily is quite busy these days, so you are the right person to accompany me, okay?” It sounded both like a request and an order.

”Women are really troublesome,” said Jackson.

”Jackson, are you already disliking me? asked Cherry, in an angry tone.

”Of course not.” Seeing that Cherry was angry, Jackson hastily replied,”I will go with you. And I will buy you whatever you want.”

Hearing this, Cherry smiled.

”But, before that, let's go take a bath together.”
