Ice and Fire novel Chapter 184

However, Jackson looked very calm, as if nothing had even happened. He picked up his tea cup from the table, took a sip out of it, and then put it back. He then looked Cherry, and said, "What do you think you will do when Wilson won't have the necessary means anymore to keep you in that big house?"

Cherry glared at Jackson with her eyes filled with burning rage. He was actually capable of doing anything to get what he wanted.

"What do you want?" asked Cherry.

"Come back with our son! I've let you roam free for so many years, but don't forget the road to your own home, " said Jackson seriously. He fiercely gazed at Cherry, and was determined at all costs to make her surrender to him.

Jackson then ruthlessly released Cherry and left.

Cherry lost her balance for a moment and took a few steps backwards. As she looked at Jackson, who was slowly walking away, a complex feeling arose in her heart.
