Ice and Fire novel Chapter 370

The next morning, Cherry and Joe had just arrived downstairs when they saw Andrew and Jackson sitting together in the dining room.

Joe cheerfully ran to Andrew, and cried, "Great-Grandpa!"

"Joe, come over here, sit and eat some breakfast, " said Andrew happily.

"Okay, " replied Joe.

When she saw Joe seated, Cherry also draw a chair and sat down at the table.

Jackson had kept looking at Cherry the moment she had stepped downstairs. He offered all his care and attention to this woman, but she didn't glance at him once.

"Did you sleep well?" suddenly asked Jackson.

With her head still lowered, Cherry answered, "Yes."

Cherry then began to eat after she answered Jackson's question, and refused to pay any more attention to him. In her heart she actually desired to look at him, and even wanted to have a peaceful chat with him, but she couldn't, because Sally was still lingering in her mind.

After breakfast, Bill drove Joe to school. Standing at the gate of their house, Cherry looked the the car fading in the distance, and then turned around and got back into the house.

The moment she arrived into the living room, Lily happened to walk downstairs from the second floor. When Lily saw her standing in the living room, she immediately said, "Mrs. Cherry, Mr. Jackson wants you to go upstairs. He said that one of his clothes was lost, and that he can't find it by himself."

"Alright, I'll go, " said Cherry calmly. She was the one who ordinarily folded all the clothes and put them in the wardrobe. It was normal that he couldn't find what he wanted to wear, because he had already grown accustomed to having Cherry around him. How could he know in which wardrobe to look for as he had never touched any of them before?

As soon as she arrived at the second floor and was about to enter their room, Cherry saw Jackson standing in front of the wardrobe rummaging wildly through it. She walked straight to him.

When he noticed that Cherry was in the room, Jackson casually asked, "Where's that dark blue thing?"

"The shirt, right?" asked Cherry indifferently, still paying no attention to Jackson.

"Yes, why can't I find it?" asked Jackson, still rummaging through the other clothes for it.

"You can stop now, it's here, " said Cherry, while she took out a shirt from one of the wardrobe's drawers.

When he saw the shirt in Cherry's hand, Jackson immediately relaxed his?brow. He then came closer to Cherry with a bright smile on his face.

Cherry removed the hanger for Jackson and gave him the shirt.

"Well, I thought that you would also help me dress in it." Jackson felt somehow gloomy when he saw the shirt that Cherry gave him. Normally, she would have brought his clothes and even fasten the buttons for him personally, but now she had just apathetically thrown a shirt to him.

"Put it on yourself, I have something else to do, " said Cherry. She then forced the clothes into Jackson's hands, turned around and intended to leave the room.

When Jackson saw that Cherry was about to leave, he immediately grabbed her arm and dragged her into his arms, while with his other hand he held tight onto Cherry's waist, and made her a prisoner of his arms.

Cherry could clearly felt the heat emanating from Jackson's body, and it seemed that he had a fire raging inside him. "What are you doing? Release me!"

"Why do I have to release you? You're my woman, and I can do whatever I want with you, " said Jackson peremptorily.

"Jackson, let me go!" cried Cherry. She felt Jackson's big hands touching her all over her back and waist. Cherry took a glance at the door and said, "The door's open! Grandpa will see us, be careful!"

Staring at Cherry's worried face, Jackson was firmly convinced that at that moment his wife was much more lovely than his son was. Both of her expression and her attitude made him feel very delighted.

"So what? Every couple does intimate things, " replied Jackson. He looked at Cherry in his arms and a smile curved up on his lips.

Cherry then looked into his eyes and could tell that Jackson had not slept well last night, because his eyes had lost their watery lustre. He gazed at her with a firmer look than before.

Jackson was very happy in his heart when he saw that Cherry was suddenly willing to look at him straight in the eyes, but his words somehow still sounded somehow angry. "Why didn't you want to look at me during breakfast?" asked Jackson.

"Why should I look at you?" replied Cherry. It was now Cherry's turn to be proud. How could this man come up with such a stupid question?

"You haven't seen me for a whole night. Don't you miss your man?" asked Jackson again.

"No, I don't, " answered Cherry, and then averted her eyes sideways.

When he saw Cherry's reaction, Jackson felt a bit irritated, because he found that it was much more difficult for him to read her mind and know her feelings now.

"Are you still angry with me?" Jackson instantly bent his head and put his cheek against hers, still tightly holding her in his arms.

He whispered into Cherry's ear, "Baby, I gave you my word. I will never see Sally again. Don't be mad at me anymore, okay?"

Cherry's heart melted with what Jackson said. It seemed that she always came to terms when Jackson whispered sweet and tender words to her.

Cherry slowly tilted her face and looked at Jackson again. "If you dare to meet her ever again, I will leave you with Joe. There, that should put some sense into you."

When he saw the little woman say those words like a pampered child in his arms, Jackson knew that Cherry wasn't angry with him anymore. "Alright, aright, that's fair enough. It's all up to you, you can do whatever you want, " immediately replied Jackson to cater his wife's feelings.

"That's more like it, " said Cherry with a broad smile all over her face, and with her eyes still fixed on Jackson.

"God! I can finally see your smile!" said Jackson, grinning the moment he caught sight of Cherry's smile. Even though he still hadn't explained to her the reason why he had gone to meet with Sally yesterday, and Cherry also hadn't explained what had happened between Mond and her to him, Jackson was still happy, because the past wasn't worth mentioning again. He still cared about it, but Cherry was more important than anybody and anything in his heart.
