Chapter 24 Missing Because Of The Separation (Part One) (2/2)

Knowing that Cherry was angry with him, he wanted to neither explain himself nor force his will on her. He just stood up and said lightly,”Remember to apply medicine to the scalded skin.”

After saying that, Jackson turned and left.

Gazing at him go, Cherry burst into tears. He had left her to go look for tha

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. ”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

t woman.

At night, Cherry suffered from insomnia for the first time. She was alone in such a big bed and she felt that the whole room was unusually cold.

She kept on thinking about Jackson. Where was he? Was that woman named Sally He now leaning into his arms and speaking sweet words to him?

Cherry tried her best to control herself not to think about it, but she failed. Her mind had already become a mess. The swollen skin on the back of her hand had become more and more painful, but she did not care about it. She was numbed by the pain in her heart.

At night, in an elegant villa by the suburban seaside, Jackson looked at the woman in front of him, who looked more beautiful and mature than before.

”Jackson, did you miss me all these years? Sally He asked, gently. She had been longing for the reunion for more than ten years since she had fled away.

Jackson did not know how to answer her question. He wanted to say yes, but a strange feeling came over him. The moment he met her, all his longing for her had disappeared at once. She had not changed much, but he did not want to love or protect her anymore. He only hoped that she could be happy and not be hurt in the future.

”How has your life been going all these years?” Jackson changed the topic.

Sally He was a bit surprised by Jackson's attitude. From the moment she met him, she felt that he had already changed. He did not care about her as much as he did before. She felt bad about it.

”It's been good. I have lived in a distant relative's house. Although they are not very rich, I have lived a quiet and happy life there,” said Sally He.

”Well, I've been worried about you and I'm relieved to see that you have lived well,” Jackson said, lightly. They were once so close to each other and neither had expected that they would stay so calm when seeing each other after more than ten years.

Sally He was even more surprised now. She wondered what was wrong with Jackson. When did he become like this? Why was he so cold towards her?

Sally He stepped forward and held Jackson by his waist. She leaned her head against his chest and whispered,”Jackson, I missed you every day. I can't possibly love you more than this. I know your grandpa does not like me. In order not to bother you, I stayed in a small place for so many years. However, I can't stand life without you anymore. I must come back and be with you.”

Listening to her words, Jackson felt calm.
