Ice and Fire novel Chapter 154

When she heard what Jackson said, Cherry suddenly stopped. She heard his voice behind her and knew that Jackson wasn't joking, because if he spoke something, he also had the ability to achieve it.

Jackson felt very happy when he saw Cherry stop.

She slowly turned around, and with her eyes fixed on Jackson, asked, "What do you want to do?"

Jackson quickly walked to Cherry but didn't answer her question, and instead grabbed Cherry's arm and dragged her into Selina's office. He then opened the door of the resting room and walked with Cherry inside.

After he closed the door, Jackson tightly held Cherry in his arms, and asked in a cold tone, "Tell me, is my nephew still in your heart?"

Jackson was too tired to call John's name and he just called him nephew. He had to make Cherry realize the fact that John was her nephew, and that she couldn't think of any sort of nonsense.

Cherry didn't want to face Jackson's eyes. She lowered her head, and said, "No."

Noticing that Cherry didn't want to look into his eyes, Jackson pinched her chin and raised her head to make her look at him. He commanded her, "Now, answer me again."

Cherry felt helpless when she looked at Jackson, who was more or less just like a demon. Why did he have to suspect her all the time? He had already said that John was his nephew, so how could she have ever had something going on with him in secret?

"There's nothing between us, really, you're thinking too much, " said Cherry resigned.

"So why did you ask him for help? My help wasn't good enough?" asked Jackson coldly.

"No, " said Cherry. She didn't know how to explain it to him. She couldn't tell him that she had taken too many things into account and had decided not to ask for his help.

"So? What's the reason?" Jackson didn't give up on his inquiry.

Cherry realized that it wasn't an option to keep Jackson curious. He would never let her go if she didn't tell him her reasons.

Thinking about it for a moment, Cherry told herself that she had to forget that they were in Selina's resting room on the top floor. Her biggest problem was how to deal with Jackson.

Staring into Jackson's eyes, Cherry gently touched his chest with her hands. She held Jackson's neck, and as she pressed her body against his, said, "Jackson, don't you believe me? I really have nothing with John, and I know that he is our nephew. Can't we ask our own nephew for help? Do we really need to regard him as an outsider?"

Jackson's heart melted every time when Cherry took the initiative to explain things to him in her sweet way. This little woman's coquettish moves and words always affected his heart.

Cherry got closer to Jackson's face when she saw that he didn't say a word. She came closer with her lips to Jackson's bearded chin, and said, "Jackson, please don't be angry, just believe me! There's nothing between John and me, I just wanted to do something for my brother. It's unimportant whether it was you or our nephew who helped me, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Jackson couldn't endure Cherry's sweet words anymore. He gently kissed her face, and then wildly kissed her lips.
