Ice and Fire novel Chapter 16

In the morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room. Two people were sleeping, lazily, on the bed.

Jackson was holding Cherry tightly, as if he was protecting the woman even when he was in deep sleep.

Cherry woke up slowly. Before she opened her eyes, she wanted to stretch her arms, but she felt that someone was holding her. She wanted to get rid of the arms. And when she moved her body, she felt pain in her private parts.

She immediately opened her eyes and saw the man beside her. She then recalled what happened last night.

She felt terribly ashamed and furious. She angrily patted Jackson's chest and said,"Jackson Chu, you are an asshole."

Clearly knowing what Cherry was referring to, Jackson chuckled to himself. This woman must have remembered what they did last night.

With a smile on his face, Jackson lovingly said,"So do you now admit that you are mine?"

This silly girl did not know that she actually had been his woman earlier. She did not even know that her virginity had been taken by this man.

"Who, me admit? I won't, anyhow." rebutted Cherry immediately. She had to defend herself, even though she knew her rebuttal did not sound convincing.

All of a sudden, Jackson turned over and pressed himself on Cherry. He looked into her eyes and in a serious voice, said,"Do you want to try it again? So that you will never forget?"

"No!" Cherry declined immediately. Looking into his eyes, she knew that he was not joking. She also realized that she would be the one to suffer if she still acted tough. This jerk could do anything to her.

She added in a tender voice,"Get away from me. I feel pain. So please don't bother me now."

Seeing her tender look, Jackson thought she was indeed in pain. So he immediately lay down beside her and lovingly asked,"Is it really painful?"

"So what if it is?" Jackson, you are a beast," said Cherry. She could not help but scold him.

"Baby, I intend to teach you how to serve me as my woman," Jackson said, with an evil glint in his eyes.

Cherry was about to reply when her phone rang.

Jackson stretched his arm, picked up her handbag, took out the phone and passed it to Cherry.

Cherry looked at the caller ID and saw that the call was from Wilson Yuwen. She was excited and hastily answered the phone.

"Hello Wilson, my brother," said Cherry, in a tender voice.

Hearing Cherry's tender voice for the person on the other end of the call, Jackson felt envious. How could the woman be so tender to him, a man she called brother? Was the person on the phone, Wilson Yuwen, her brother from a different father and mother?

Wilson Yuwen's voice was also very tender. He asked,"Cherr, are you busy these days? How have you been recently?"

The care in his voice warmed Cherry very much. She had not been cared for so long and she had never felt such care from the Shen household. So hearing these warm words, she was touched and couldn't help but start crying.

Cherry took a deep breath and replied,"Brother, I am fine, everything is good."

At the Shen Group, Cherry still worked as the group leader of the business department. Even if she was married, even if she was assaulted by Jean, she would not give up her job, even though that job was just something mundane.

She was busy at her workplace every day. But Jackson could not understand why she would choose to put up with the hardship. He was rich enough to support her and she could just stay at home, watching TV or sleeping.

In the afternoon, Cherry went home after work and started cooking dinner.

When Jackson got home and saw the appetizing dishes, he felt elated. Such life, such a family and such a virtuous wife! He could not describe his joyful feelings.

As they were having dinner at the table, Jackson announced,"I will go back to the barracks tomorrow and I will stay there for about one month."

Hearing this, Cherry did not show any emotions. She replied in an indifferent tone,"Okay."

Jackson felt a bit frustrated and disappointed about Cherry's response. His face darkened. Was there no place for him in her heart? Why was she so cold and indifferent to him?

Cherry lowered her head to eat, taking no notice of Jackson's expression. Whether he existed or not was all the same to her. Though they got along pretty good these days, she still did not care for this man.

While lying in bed, Cherry closed her eyes slightly and wanted to fall asleep. She was a bit tired after the day's work.

But the man lying beside her thought otherwise. He was about to leave tomorrow, so why wouldn't this woman take the initiative to please him? Was she challenging his patience?

Jackson couldn't stand it any more, so he pulled back the quilt and intensely pressed himself on her, thinking that he had to eat her up tonight.
