Ice and Fire

"Cherry, you look gorgeous!" cried Selina, as she stood up excited and quickly walked up to her.

Derek was also stunned by Cherry, and he also thought that she had always been an incredibly charming woman.

Cherry looked at herself in the mirror, and then asked Selina, "Selina, is it okay for me to dress like this?"

"Of course it is! Cherry, you can't be more perfect than now!" and with these words, Selina cheerfully grabbed Cherry's arm.

"Okay, let's go now. We're almost late, " said Derek.

They then went out of the hotel together; Derek and Selina took one car, while Jackson and Cherry took another and followed them from behind.

Cherry quietly sat in the car and looked out the window. She hadn't uttered a single word to Jackson because she didn't know what to say to him anymore.

The awkward atmosphere in the car made Jackson's heart ache. He wanted to say something to Cherry to break the silence, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Finally, Jackson took the initiative to break the silent deadlock. He held the steering wheel with one hand and then grabbed Cherry's hand, which was resting on her lap, with the other.

As soon as he touched Cherry's hand, Cherry violently shook it off.

Jackson quickly glanced at her surprised and then looked back at the road.
