Ice and Fire novel Chapter 252

Looking at Selina's joyful face, Jackson said to Cherry, "We'll also be moving back to the family residence today. I already told our Grandpa about this."

"Today?" Cherry was pretty surprised when she heard the news.

But Selina, who was standing beside her, rejoiced at what Jackson, and said, "That's great! Let's all move back to the family residence together!"

After she said this, Selina sat on the sofa, and Cherry walked to Jackson and sat beside him.

"Are we really going to move in the family residence today? I haven't even packed all of my stuff yet, " said Cherry, while holding Jackson's arm. She had to pack all of her clothes and things first.

"You don't need to do that. Just bring a few clothes with you, we can get all of the other stuff in the family residence, " softly said Jackson to Cherry.

Staring at the lovely couple in front of her, Selina felt very happy in her heart. She thought that all of them will be very happy together back at the family residence.

Jackson then suddenly looked at Selina, and said, "If you say she isn't busy, I'll be taking her away now."

Jackson's words surprised Cherry. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

"I'm going to take you out shopping and buy you some new clothes. There'll be a party next week, I remember?" said Jackson.

Cherry looked at Jackson but couldn't find the right words to reply to him. The man was more thoughtful than she was.

Selina smiled, and said, "Just go already, buy some beautiful clothes for Cherry!"

"Selina, would you like to come with us?" asked Cherry, with her eyes fixed on Selina. She wanted to go shopping with her.

"I'd better not. You two go together. How could I play the gooseberry?" said Selina, smiling.

"It's good that you know that, " said Jackson scornfully. 'This little girl is smart and sensible after all, ' thought Jackson.

Noticing Jackson's expression on his face, Selina pretended to be angry, and complained to Cherry, "Sister, look how he bullies me!"

Cherry burst into laughter. She then looked at Jackson, and said to him, "Be nice to Selina, okay?"

Jackson didn't answer her, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk with them.

When she saw that Jackson was silent, Cherry looked at Selina, and said, "Selina, you know him pretty good, don't take his words into account!"

"You're right. Who cares what he did?" said Selina in a childish tone.

Jackson and Cherry then walked out of the JS Group together. Cherry didn't drove her own car, but instead got into Jackson's and left with him.

Inside the car, Cherry looked at her husband, and said, "Why do you want to buy me clothes so suddenly?"

"I came at the JS Group after I left the family residence, and now I just want to buy some clothes for you and go back to our own villa. After that, we go back home, pack a light luggage and then give it to Bill to bring it to the family residence, and afterwards we'll go to Joe's school and pick him up together, " said Jackson to Cherry while he driving the car to the mall.

Cherry carefully considered Jackson's words, and said, "That's a good idea!"

After Jackson briefly glanced at Cherry, he turned his eyes back on the road in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the international shopping mall, Jackson roamed the stores with Cherry. She had an excellent taste in clothes, and she only tried the ones that she liked. Even the shop assistants were amazed when she got dressed in them, because every article of clothing that she dressed in always looked perfect on her!

Jackson looked at all of the clothes that Cherry had tried on, and he had to admit that all of them fitted Cherry excellently. It seemed that all the clothes had been specially designed for his wife's figure.

An hour later, Jackson was already holding several shopping bags in his hands.

Cherry snuggled up to Jackson with her hands around his arm, and said tenderly, "Well, now that we've bought some clothes, we can go home."

Jackson looked at his wristwatch, and said, "Okay, the timing is also good. We have just enough time to go back, pack something up, and then pick up Joe from school."

"We have even more time! We can go back home and also have lunch. I'll call Lily right now to tell her to prepare us lunch, " said Cherry.

"Okay then, let's go!"

Jackson and Cherry walked to the parking lot, and after they both got inside the car, he started the engine and left.

Soon after Jackson's car drove off from the parking lot, a luxury sports car arrived.

Sally parked the car, opened the door and got out of it, and so did Jean who sat beside her. They then went to the shopping mall together.

"You know Mond Xu's intention well, and you should already be clear about what you should do next, " said Sally, while walking.

Jean nodded, and replied, "I know."

Sally didn't speak in a commanding tone anymore, but her voice still seemed to be pretty cold. She said, "Money isn't an issue, just pick the one you like the most, I need you to be the party's main attraction. If you can't do that, then Mond Xu will punish you. You know that, right?"

Jean nodded and didn't say anything else.

Sally stayed at Jean's side and watched her try on different dresses, while she also personally picked some for her. It was clear that Mond Xu had attached a great importance to this party, because it was his first time appearing in public. He not only wanted to impress the officials and aristocrats of the city, but also wanted to suppress Jackson. Although he had chosen Jean as his female companion, she still looked very enchanting and seductive to people, if they didn't know her background.

Three hours later, Jean left the shopping mall with Sally, carrying two shopping bags in her hands.

On their way to the underground parking lot, Sally said to Jean, "Jean, are you afraid to see John again?"

'John?' Jean couldn't control herself and suddenly started to tremble, almost falling off her feet.

She immediately suppressed her feelings and pretended to be strong again. She said, "Why should I be scared of meeting him? We got divorced formally that year, and if we meet at the party next week, I'll just simply greet him, because we've known each other for so much time."

Sally sneered and a disdainful smile curved her lips. She briefly glanced at Jean and then kept looking straight, and said, "Jean, no one decides your faith other than you. You have no one to blame but yourself for all that happened to you."

"Hehe, " slightly smiled Jean suddenly, "Aren't you doing the same thing as what I did? You spare no efforts to fasten on Jackson, anxious to get love from him. Have you never expected that you might have a worse ending than me?"
