Chapter 468 Donst Destroy Her Happiness (Part One) (1/2)
Just as Amy went downstairs, she saw Derek's car at the gate of the community. She directly walked over and got into the car.
”I'm sorry. You must have waited for a long time, ” said Amy, feeling a little guilty.
”No, it's fine. I just arrived here, ” replied Derek, while driving.
Amy stayed silent.
Derek glanced at her and said hesitantly, ”I'll drive you back after the lesson. I don't think Cherry is at home.”
”What happened? Is she on a business trip?” asked Amy, surprisingly.
”No. Something happened between Jackson and Cherry and she left home angrily, ” explained Derek. He didn't want to tell Amy the details because it wasn't his place.
”Did they get into a fight?” Amy was very concerned about Cherry, so she went on, ”I can see that they love each other deeply. What are they fighting about?”
”Something happened and Cherry wasn't in a good mood, so she wanted to stay alone for some time, ” said Derek.
”I hope that Cherry won't stay away for too long. Joe still needs her, ” said Amy, worrying about both mother and son. It was very common for couples to quarrel and she hoped that the two could make up and get back together soon.
Derek didn't utter a word while driving the car.
After arriving at the Chu house, Amy met Jackson and greeted him simply. She then went upstairs for the piano lesson.
Derek and Jackson sat in the living room, both with knitted brows.
”Have you seen Cherry?” asked Derek.
”Yes, ” responded Jackson, in a dull voice.
”What did she say? When will she come home?” Derek continued to ask.
Jackson shook his head and said in a helpless voice, ”She was reluctant to talk to me. Perhaps she's still mad at me.”
”Anyhow, you should bring her home. How can you let her stay with Mond?” There was immense worry in Derek's voice. Both he and Jackson knew what kind of a person Mond was. It was very dangerous for Cherry to stay with Mond.
”I won't force her. You know how she is. Once she's determined, she won't change her mind. Presently, she is unwilling to come back. If I forcibly bring her home, I am afraid that things will get worse. I don't want to irritate her, ” said Jackson. He really loved that woman and wanted to respect her wishes. He could accept everything she did as long as she didn't cross the line.
Derek sighed, ”Oh, how did things get so bad?”
Jackson was also lost in thought. He looked ahead in a daze, speaking his innermost thoughts to Derek.
