Ice and Fire novel Chapter 109

She opened the door, and got inside.

Jackson didn't utter a word, and neither did Cherry.

Soon after, Jackson started the engine, and drove the car away.

Bobby drove in another car, and closely followed them from behind.

Cherry had no idea where Jackson was taking her, and instead just looked outside the window and tried to enjoy the night view. All of a sudden, she saw the familiar road, and she couldn't help but look at Jackson, who was still silent, with surprise.

Cherry couldn't have been more familiar with that road, because it was the road to her home, her and Jackson's home, the home with which she had too many memories stored in her brain.

Jackson then pulled over the car at the apartment building. He then got out of the car, opened the passenger's seat, pulled Cherry out of the car and dragged her to the apartment.

The other two also got out of their car. Bobby talked something with the man in black, and then Bobby followed Jackson into the apartment building. The man in black left.

Jackson took out the key, opened the door, and pushed Cherry inside.

Cherry felt distressed when she saw the familiar room again. It looked the same as it had been five years ago, and it seemed that nothing had changed at all. All kinds of memories came flooding in her head.

Jackson noticed Cherry's expression and walked closer to her. He said, "So? Do you remember anything?"

Cherry soon came back to reality, and whens she saw that Jackson was coming closer to her, she couldn't help but step back.

It was not until she took a few steps back towards the wooden cabinet that she stopped. Jackson also stopped, and looked into Cherry's eyes fiercely.

"What on earth do you want from me?" asked Cherry.

"What do I want?" retorted Jackson, "I just want to see if you still remember the place?"

When her eyes met with Jackson's, Cherry felt a little scared, but also cordial. They were exactly in the room where he used to spoil her all the time, but it was also the same room in which he had left her for another woman.

After some time, Cherry turned her head aside, and avoided Jackson's eyes. She then said, "Of course I remember. How could I ever forget it?"

When he saw her indifferent face, and when he heard her indifferent tone, Jackson felt so furious and irritated that he shouted, "Tell me, now, why did you leave me?"

Cherry lowered her head, and she didn't intend to answer him.

She took a deep breath, and as she raised her head again, she looked into Jackson's eyes, and said, "Since I've already left you, there's no reason to tell you my motive. I just left, and that's the whole truth. I don't want to explain it to you."

When he heard her, Jackson stepped closer to Cherry, and said, "How dare you, Cherry?"
