Chapter 482 I Believe You (Part One) (2/2)
”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
've been these past few days without you?” Jackson asked pitifully. ”Sweetheart, when will you come back home?”
”Not for several days more. I'm not ready yet, ” Cherry shook her head.
Cherry scowled and Jackson scrunched his face in worry. ”Did anything happen to you?”
Looking into his eyes, she could see his worry. 'I can't let him know I'm pregnant. Not yet. What I have to do is more important. Besides, I have no plan for the future. I'd rather keep it to myself, until I find it in my heart to forgive him.'
Thinking that through, she gave her simple answer to the question. ”I'm fine, ” she reassured him. ”If there is something happening to me, you'd know it. Wouldn't you?” 'He's always cared so much for me. He knows me well and I know I can trust him.' Cherry said to herself silently.
”Good, ” Jackson sighed in relief. He stroked Cherry's face lightly. ”Honey, if you meet any trouble, just let me know and I'll handle it, ” he reassured her gently. ”I will protect you. All I want is for you and our son to live happily.”
As he spoke, Cherry raised her head to look directly into his eyes. 'His eyes will never lie. I remember every word he said to me, and I believe his words. No matter what happens, I will have faith in him, ' she promised herself silently.
”I know, ” Cherry said softly. ”But honey, ” she continued meekly, ”can you give me some time? I need to fix myself. When I'm ready, I'll return home. ”I've been getting along better with Jean, especially now that she lives here. I want to spend some more time staying with her.”
The mention of Jean gave Jackson a concerned look on his face.
