Ice and Fire novel Chapter 129

When she saw Jackson's cold face, Caroline immediately put the ice down. Cherry sat up straighter as she was also nervous.

Jackson walked up to Cherry, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her into Selina's office.

When the office door opened, Selina was still sitting at her desk. She became intrigued when she saw Jackson drag Cherry in with him, but before she could even ask what had happened, she heard Jackson's following words.

"Get out!" commanded Jackson seriously. After he finished his words and stared at Selina for a few moments, he grabbed Cherry's hand again and dragged her to the resting room.

There was a small resting room in Selina's office, but Selina had never slept there. Instead, whenever they came to the JS Group, Jackson and Derek would lie inside there for quick naps, or sit on the couches to watch TV.

Jackson pulled Cherry into the resting room, closed the door, and pressed Cherry against it. He then stretched out his hand, and raised up Cherry's face.

Cherry didn't say a word to him, and instead just avoided his eyes. Since she had already noticed that Jackson was very mad, she knew that every effort to resist him would be futile.

Looking at the red marks on her fair face, Jackson couldn't help but feel a sharp sting in his heart.

"Did she do this to you?" asked Jackson.

With her head turned sideways, Cherry said, "You already know the answer to this question."

"Why didn't you dodge her?" questioned Jackson. He hadn't witnessed the scene, but if he had, he would have never allowed Cherry to be slapped.

Cherry instantly got angry when she heard this. She obviously wasn't feeling great, because she had been slapped, and to top it, now this wretch in front of her was blaming her for not dodging the blow.

Cherry gazed at Jackson, and said, "Jackson, do you really think that I wanted to be slapped?"

He didn't say any words, but instead showed his heartache in expression. He wanted to touch her face with his hands, something that Cherry avoided. She didn't want to look at him, let alone be touched by him.

Cherry took a deep breath of air, and said, "Jackson, if you don't want to leave her, we can divorce. Then you can justifiably marry her and she won't come here to harass me anymore."

As soon as Cherry finished her words, Jackson wrapped Cherry into his arms and embraced her tightly.

Although Cherry strongly resisted him, Jackson still refused to release her. How could he ever stay away from this woman? He would never divorce her, for anything or anyone in the world.

"I'm sorry, " said Jackson slightly.

Cherry suddenly?grew?quiet when he apologized to her, but wasn't it Sally's fault? Why was he apologizing to her now? Did he want to take the blame for her? Was he protecting her?

"You even reduce yourself to apologize for her, " said Cherry peacefully, as she wanted to see how important Sally really was in Jackson's heart.

Jackson instantly released Cherry, and as he carefully fixing his eyes on her, asked, "Do you think that I'm apologizing to you because of her?"

"Well, aren't you?" asked Cherry.

"What if I apologized for not protecting you better?" Staring into Cherry's eyes, Jackson wanted to pierce with his gaze into her soul.
