Chapter 79 I Have Underestimated Him (Part One) (1/2)

Jackson then opened the door, and saw that Cherry wasn't at home. He went straight to the living room and sat down on the couch. He took out his mobile phone and called Cherry.

Jackson's face turned dark, because he heard that Cherry's phone number had been cancelled.

Jackson felt confused as he listen to the electronic synthesized voice. 'Where's Cherry?' he thought.

He immediately stood up and went upstairs, and pushed the bedroom's door open and saw the perfectly clean bedroom. He was calmer when he saw Cherry's pajamas on the hanger, but still, where the hell was Cherry? He frowned, and then started to feel more and more anxious by each passing moment. Where had she gone?

Jackson slowly walked into the bedroom, sat on the bed, and thought of all of her possible whereabouts.

Jackson dialed the military's residential compound number and the butler answered.

The butler greeted him respectfully, ”Hello, Mr. Jackson.”

”Hello, is Cherry with my grandfather?” Without any justified reason, Jackson's voice trembled, and he had no idea of what he should say next; all that he thought about was Cherry, and where she was.

”No, ” said the butler. He then thought for a moment, and added, ”What happened? Has Cherry gone missing?”

Jackson tried hard to control his emotions, and answered, ”No, but I arrived home, and she isn't here. I called to ask if she's with my grandfather. Don't worry, I'll look for her somewhere else.”

He then hung up the phone, regardless of what the butler's response might have been.
