Ice and Fire novel Chapter 151

Jackson gently fondled Cherry's face; he loved her so much that he wanted to hug her forever.

She was very happy to hear the news, but she knew that she couldn't let herself be infatuated by Jackson. She had to remain lucid in her thoughts, so she didn't say anything at first.

After a while, Cherry suddenly said, "I'm feeling hungry. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

How could Jackson ever refuse Cherry? The answer to this question was clear to him, and Jackson immediately replied, "Of course I'd like to! I'll make the reservation first and then we'll go downstairs to have dinner together."

Cherry nodded, and said, "Okay."

After she watched Jackson walk out of the room, Cherry fell on the sofa, bereft of all of her strength. She was afraid that Jackson might find out that she wasn't in the best of moods when he came back, so she quickly gathered up all of her courage and pretended that everything was fine.

Jackson went to the reception, asked the receptionist to book a table for him and Cherry, and then left.

On his way back upstairs he called Bobby, and ordered him, "Find out who has helped Wilson out of the crisis."

Bobby replied, "I'm already on it, Mr. Jackson!"

Jackson walked into the room and gently said to Cherry, "Let's have dinner downstairs."

Cherry then immediately stood up from the sofa and walked towards him. She said, "Alright."

Jackson took Cherry into his arms and kissed her forehead, and then went downstairs together with her.

They had dinner in the hotel's dining room, but Cherry didn't utter a word and instead just ate her food in silence. Sitting across from Cherry, Jackson saw his wife slowly eating her food and felt happiness filling his heart.

Cherry suddenly noticed that Jackson didn't eat anything, and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Jackson shook his head, and said, "I'm not that hungry, but you are, because you've worked all day. You have to eat more." He then paused for a second, and continued, "But you can always resign and stay at home; I'll provide everything for you."

Cherry then laid down her chopsticks and seriously said, "No! I want to work."

Cherry continued, "Besides, we don't even live together. Why do you want to support me?"

Jackson heard Cherry's words, but he wasn't angry that she refused him; instead, he felt happy when he looked at her angry face. He thought that Cherry was as cute as she had always been, and he felt that he had no other choice but to obey her wishes.

At that moment, Jackson noticed a man and a woman who were not that far away walking towards them.

Cherry also noticed that someone was walking towards their table and she turned around to see them better.
