Wilson saw that Cherry's expression changed a little. He then glanced at her phone and saw Jackson's name on the screen. He just kept silent and didn't comment.
Cherry quickly said, "Wilson, I have to answer my phone."
Wilson nodded.
Cherry then walked with her phone in her hand to answer it on the balcony.
"Hello."
"Are you in bed now?" asked Jackson in a gentle voice.
"No, not yet, " replied Cherry.
"Well, " said Jackson, "Did Selina tell you about the business trip?"
As soon as Cherry heard Jackson's words she realized that he had found out about the trip. She replied, "Yes, she told me about it in the morning, and she also told me that you and Derek might be coming too."
"Derek and I haven't been busy recently. I think that it will be nice if we can go there together, " said Jackson.
Jackson was telling her that he would go, and Cherry decided she would come too.
"Okay, you can tell Selina that I'm also coming, " said Cherry.
"Honey!" cried Jackson in surprise, "Did you say yes?"
Selina had already told him that Cherry hadn't made up her mind yet whether she would go with them or not, but now… Was she actually going to go with them on the trip?
Cherry paused for a moment, and said, "Yes."
"Well, I'll tell Selina about it and ask her to book tickets, " said Jackson cheerfully.
Cherry suddenly stopped Jackson and said, "Wait a minute! I'll personally talk with Selina about it tomorrow."
Jackson had no choice but to obey her words. As long as she was willing to go together with him it didn't matter who would tell Selina about it.
"Okay, it's up to you, " said Jackson dotingly. He then continued, "Why didn't you go to sleep yet?"
"I'll go to bed later, I've just had a talk with my brother, " said Cherry.
"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong?" asked Jackson. He was particularly concerned about Cherry, and he was still a little unhappy when he remembered that Cherry had asked John to help her deal with Wilson's troubles instead of him.
"No, everything is okay. It was just a talk about some household affairs, " quickly said Cherry.
"Okay."
Cherry felt that she didn't have much to talk with Jackson, so she gently said to him, "Jackson, I'm a little tired and want to go to bed now. Goodnight."
"Okay, goodnight honey!" replied Jackson.
