Ice and Fire novel Chapter 159

Sally, however, insisted on saying, "Cherry, I can only see you this one time. If you don't come, then I'll continue to see Jackson in the future."

"Can you promise me that you won't bother him anymore if I agree to see you?" Cherry knew the right questions to ask Sally.

"You..." Sally choked up with her anger again.

She then paused for a moment, and said, "Maybe I will if you make our meeting possible tonight."

Cherry didn't reply this time, and hesitated for a moment. She had nothing to say to Sally. 'Should I take the risk to meet Sally for Jackson?' she thought.

Eventually, Cherry said, "Tell me where and when."

Sally chuckled on the other side of the line, and said, "At eight o'clock, in the Island Cafe."

Cherry then hung up the phone.

When she went downstairs, she found that Jackson was still making the coffee. She walked over to him and hugged him from behind.

Jackson glanced at her and laughed. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you acting like a child now all of a sudden?"

"I just wanted to hug you, " said Cherry gently.

"I want that too. Why don't you stay here with me?" said Jackson as he poured the coffee into cups.

When Cherry saw that the coffee was ready, she let Jackson go and reached out to grab a cup. After she took a quick sip out of it, she said, "I'm going now."

"Why not go later?" said Jackson fondly, trying to convince her to stay.

After they finished their coffee, they cuddled in the living room for a little while longer before Cherry went on her way.

She didn't go home, and instead drove directly to the Island Cafe.

When Cherry arrived, Sally was already there waiting for her. She walked straight to Sally's table and sat opposite to her.

Sally put a smile on her face, and asked, "What would you like to drink? It's my treat."

Cherry refused her straightforwardly, because she wanted nothing to do with Sally. She said, "Nothing, thank you, I've just had some coffee with my husband earlier."

Sally felt very uncomfortable when she heard her answer.

When she saw that Sally was silent, Cherry began, "Go ahead, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"You tell me, " said Sally, who was trying to look graceful. She continued, "I don't think that there is anything interesting for us to talk about except the matter concerning Jackson."

"Go ahead, say what you want to say, " said Cherry flatly while staring at her opponent.

"Have you and Jackson been living together? Have you returned to the family residence?" Sally was interested to know if they had gotten back together before she could make her next move.

"But you have seen it with your own eyes?" Cherry did not want to give her a straightforward answer, because she knew that Sally excelled at scheming.

"Cherry Shen, you're more clever than ever, " said Sally, with a mysterious smile on her lips.

"Thank you, you're flattering me! I know that I've changed, but I'm not more clever, " said Cherry gracefully.

Sally chuckled, and continued, "It seems that living abroad does change people."
