Ice and Fire novel Chapter 186

Jackson seemed to see Cherry's confusion, and said, "Give Wilson his car back." He then took out a key and gave it to Bill Ma, the elder driver, and after he looked at Cherry again, continued to say, "From now on, he'll be the one who is responsible for driving you."

Seeing that Bill Ma picked up the key, Cherry hastily said, "I don't need a driver, I can drive by myself!"

Cherry's resistance aroused Jackson's anger. He then came closer to Cherry, and as he looked deep in her eyes, he said, "Cherry, there's no room for you to say 'no' to me!"

Cherry seriously looked at him, and replied, "Jackson, I can drive, I'm not disabled! Why would I need a driver?"

Seeing that Cherry still resisted him, Jackson's anger started to build up inside him little by little. He then held her chin with one hand, and said, "Do you really want to disagree with me?"

Cherry threw Jackson's hand away from her. She didn't want to disagree with him, she just wanted to defend her own freedom.

"I'm not disagreeing with you!" said Cherry.

"Well, then just obey my orders, " said Jackson, who then looked at Joe who was standing next to him.

Cherry still resisted him, and said, "Jackson, I won't..."

But before she could finish her words, Jackson ruthlessly slapped Cherry across her face. She then lost her balance and stepped back a few steps, with her face burning with a sharp pain.

"Mommy!" When he saw that Cherry was hit, Joe quickly went to her and helped her get up. Looking at her slightly red and swollen face, he felt a burst of anger raging inside him; he turned to Jackson, and said, "Why did you hit my Mommy?"

"Because she wasn't obedient, " said Jackson coldly. He actually felt terrible in his heart, and it hurt him more than Cherry's pain did. He wouldn't have hit her if she had been an obedient woman to him, because he just wanted the driver to protect her from any harm and accidents.

"Is there anything wrong with Mommy driving by herself? She's your wife! How can you do that to her!" Joe shouted at Jackson in very hateful and impolite way, because anyone who dared to hurt his Mommy was his enemy, even his own father.

"How dare you!" said Jackson, while he also tried to hit Joe.

Cherry then pulled her son behind her and took a step forward to block Jackson. She stared in his eyes, and said, "That's enough! Don't touch my son!"

Jackson sternly looked at Cherry. Only when he dealt with things that related to her did he know how to compromise.

After some time, Jackson turned away and walked out of the house.

Jackson's temporary departure didn't make any changes in Cherry's mood. Inside the living room, she said to the maid, "Lily, please help me carry my luggage upstairs."

"Yes, madam, " replied Lily Wu politely.
