Chapter 141 My Son, My One And Only (1/2)

Selina and Cherry drove to the cafe separately in their own cars. After they arrived, they sat across each other at a corner table.

Cherry took a sip of her coffee, and said, ”Go ahead, I'm listening. What do you want to talk about?”

Selina looked at Cherry, and after she carefully weighed her words, she said, ”Cherry, I'm sorry for what I've done to the Shen Group, I didn't know that Harrison was your father. I thought...”

But Cherry interrupted her before she could say a word more.

”Never mind. Leave it be, ” said Cherry.

But Selina insisted on the subject and continued, ”No, Cherry, please, you have to listen to me. I really had no idea that Harrison was your father. If I had, I would have tried to stop Jackson.”

Selina looked as though she had misunderstood everything, and didn't know why she insisted on explaining the truth to Cherry. Maybe it was because she felt bad that Cherry flared up to her earlier in the afternoon, and wanted to straighten things up with Cherry again.

Cherry pondered for a while, and said, ”Selina, I understand and I don't blame you. Jackson always gets what he wants, with or without your help.”

Her words made Selina feel even worse. Cherry seemed to have forgiven her, but Selina knew that Cherry had been badly hurt by the things that they had done to her.

Selina said resignedly, ”Actually, Derek told me that it was your abrupt departure and not Harrison's offence that made Jackson destroy the Shen Group.”

Cherry turned her head and looked out the window, and said, ”I know. He hates me.”

”No, ” said Selina quickly, ”Jackson loves you! You have to believe him, Cherry!”

Selina tried to defend Jackson, because she was sure that he still loved Cherry.

”I can't afford his exclusive love, ” replied Cherry.

When Selina looked at her gloomy expression, sadness also struck her, and tears also started to well up in her eyes.

”Why don't you want to make up with Jackson?” asked Selina, slowly starting to sob.

This took Cherry aback for a moment.

Cherry saw tears falling from Selina's eyes on her cheeks.

Cherry wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say to her. ”Selina...”

But Selina interrupted her, and said, ”Do you know that Jackson has been suffering since the first day he was born? Why do you have to punish him like this?” Selina didn't mean to blame Cherry, but wanted to speak out for Jackson.

Cherry looked surprised at Selina, but she didn't interrupt her. Instead, she listened to her.
