Chapter 600 Happy Family (Part Two) (1/2)

He breathed deeply, contented in having her so close. ”You're helping Lily cook dinner again, aren't you?” Jackson asked, despite having already assumed her answer. An air of love wafted around them as Jackson snaked his hands around Cherry's waist.

Shooting him a cheeky look, she said,”You know the answer, don't you?” She cast a glance at the stairway before continuing bashfully,”We can't let the kids see us like this.”

”It doesn't matter. You're my wife. It's perfectly natural for a husband to hug his wife. They won't get envious,” Jackson returned, smiling. 'Why has my woman become shy? She didn't used to act like this, ' he pondered.

Cherry nodded. ”Alice is here too,” she added.

”I see,” Jackson began to understand. 'This isn't a surprise. It's not the first time Derek and Amy have been too busy to pick Alice up. It's a frequent occurrence, ' he said to himself.

”What is it? Good or bad news?” Cherry asked. Jackson was being deliberately coy and she couldn't tell by his expression.

”Come upstairs with me first,” Jackson answered with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He lifted Cherry to his chest and took her upstairs.

Struggling, she found it was futile as usual when he did this. ”Let me down. It'll be a bad influence on the kids if they see us,” she whispered to him.

”They won't know as long as you keep silent,” Jackson informed her.
